Description
Aldous Huxley’s Cabin is 500 sq ft. It sleeps four people in a queen size bed and a queen bed sofa. Fully equipped kitchen with a fridge, gas stove and pots and pans. The table seats four, there is a small enclosed garden area in the back. The bathroom has a good sized shower. There is a wood fire stove and an energy .efficient ,heat pump for cold nights.
The Huxley Cabin is located atTaos Goji Eco Lodge and Farm Retreat. Nestled in the Sangre De Cristo Mountains and surrounded by national forest. These quaint, historic log cabins and casitas are in close proximity to Taos (11 miles) and the Taos Ski Valley and Red River (ca: 20 miles). We are surrounded by national forest and a small river flows from the mountains and into part of the village.
Part of an eco lodge, this cabin sits on 40 acres among seasonal creeks, ponds, aspens and cottonwood trees and organic berry orchards. The farm has great views of the mountains. It's a great space to kick back in, write, paint, hike on the nearby trails or take walks, fish, mountain biking or go cross country skiing. The dark skies are great for star gazing. Within driving distance are opportunities for lama trekking, horseback trails, hot air ballooning and natural hot springs are within driving distance.
We do have a small farm cafe, generally opening on Memorial Day and closing on Labor Day. We also serve pastries, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, yoghurt, berries and fritata for a suggested donation. We also offer a farm breakfast at 8am and a farm lunch at 1:30 am with out wwoofers (willing workers on organic farms) for an extra fee. Please give us 24 hours notice.
A seasonal vegetable garden and chickens provide produce and fresh ranch eggs to renters. A play ground is available for families with children.
San Cristobal is a small village and our eco lodge was built at the turn of last century. Aldous Huxley lived and wrote in our cabins and we found water colors from D.H. Lawrence and letters to the publishers from Frieda Lawrence in the attic of one of the cabins. Aldous Huxley is said to have helped build the outhouse as there was no plumbing when he stayed in the cabins.
Taos Ski Valley reminds us of the Swiss/French/Austrian founders' roots blended with the traditions and customs of the local Hispanic and Pueblo Indian cultures. Being the home of extreme skiing, this is just not a resort for experts, with many beginner and intermediate runs. The ski school is one of the nation's best. It also has an excellent children's day care and ski facility, both skiers and snowboarders are welcome.
Taos is home to more than twenty sites on the National Register of Historic Places. The Taos Pueblo has been occupied for nearly a millennium and is considered to be the oldest continuously inhabited community in the Unites States. The Taos Pueblo was added as an Unesco World Heritage Site in 1992 as one of the most significant historical cultural landmarks in the world;
There are many ways to explore art in Taos. Taos is an old art colony since 1899. Some of the artists' studios have been preserved and may be viewed by visitors. Many of the historic sites are homes and studios of artists, including the Mabel Dodge Luhan House,Eanger Irving Couse House and Studio, Joseph Henry Sharp Studios, the Leon Gaspard House, the Couse/Sharp Historic Site and the Ernest Martin Hennings House. On Ledoux Street, just south of the Taos Plaza, are the Ernest L. Blumenschein House and Harwood House.
There are three Art Museums in Taos: Harwood Museum of Art, Taos Art Museum and Millicent Rogers Museum that provide art from the pueblo Native Americans, Taos Society of Artists and modern and contemporary artists of the Taos art colony. The town has numerous art galleries and there are several houses of the Taos Society of Artists.
