Great food, good for couples

Touchstone Inn, Spa & Gallery

Haley Leslie

The food was incredible. The couple that owns the inn cooks breakfast together - he as the chef, she as the baker. They are a very welcoming couple, and the inn is quite romantic. Great outdoor space to walk around and/or sit and drink a cup of coffee or tea. Very local art decorates the dining room (the owners' mom is an artist who lives on the property and whose studio is next door). Great location - close to the square and main roads, but nestled back so it feels like it's in the country. Our only concern was privacy - that the inn used to be a house and the room divisions are. it exactly soundproof. Also, the tvs were outdated (but who goes to Taos to watch tv?!). Wonderful decor, great coffee and tea in room, private balconies. (Speaking of balconies, be sure to ask for a room downstairs if oh have issues climbing or with joints, etc.) Overall a great place for a romantic getaway.

Dear Brad and Amber I want to thank you so much for our wonderful stay at your B & B. We needed a room at last minute and you provided us with what we were looking for and so much more! My wife has allergies with gluten, dairy and eggs. Brad provided her with delicious breakfasts each morning. I was able to eat whatever Brad would make and he set me off to play around Taos with a very tasty breakfast each day! The room we had (Woody) was perfect for our stay! We look forward to seeing your Inn this winter! Thanks so much for a wonderful stay and breakfast! Brad and Amber are wonderful kind folks! Thank you!
