"A B&B Paradise." -Rocky Mountain News

Great Mountain Views, Close to the Plaza, Gourmet Breakfasts

"Taos B&B Tops" - Toronto Star

You're coming to Taos and it's a special place. Shouldn't you make it the best possible experience? Use your favorite search engine (we use Google) and check out "Orinda reviews".

Orinda Bed and Breakfast is a 70+ year old adobe hacienda combining unequalled mountain views, a country setting, and it's walking distance to Taos Plaza. Experience serenity and spectacular sunrises.

Orinda is a true expression of its' meaning - "Harmony of the Soul." Relax and feed your spirit while we take care of life's little irritations. Orinda is individualized attention and attention to detail.

Orinda sets in it's own unique piece of Taos where it is surrounded by pastures, elms, and giant cottonwoods. We're a short 10-minute walk to center of town with its famed plaza, excellent restaurants, galleries and museums.

The day starts at Orinda with a gourmet breakfast served in our sky-lit dining room decorated with original local art, antiques and Navajo rugs. The large living room provides guests with a library and media center, a cozy kiva fireplace nook and Taos Mountain framed in our large picture windows.

In the summer, relax in our hammock shaded by cottonwood and elm trees. In the winter, curl up in front of the fire and enjoy a good book.

Or go for a walk or have a massage (we work with several qualified therapists).
