Our 840 Sq ft. Tinyhouse
About Us
We Are KLCO!
Our primary home is in South TX on the Gulf of Mexico. KLCO Taos became our vacation home after we fell in love with the area. We enjoy visiting New Mexico and find new adventures no matter the season. There is always something going on and things to do year round.
We built KLCOTaos to share with our family and friends, as well as with you as a short term rental. Come visit & find out why it's called the land of enchantment.
We know planning a family trip can be lot of work, We are happy to answer all your questions and share our experiences.

Remote doesn't have to mean roughing it
The house is equipped with lightning fast internet through fiber optic cable. Radiant floor heating, smart lights, Nest thermostats and smoke detection as well as state of the art entertainment provide great creature comforts after a day of outdoor activity. Fire up a Netflix movie in the living room or bedrooms, listen to your favorite music through the TV sound bar or just sit on the porch and enjoy the nature. Relaxing is easy here, you may not want to go anywhere once checked in.
Dine in or eat out
We love to cook at home and the kitchen is well equipped to prepare simple or hearty meals. Alternatively there are many great restaurants close by, too many to list here. World class NYC style pizza, local fare and fine dining can be found everywhere. Look for recommendations in our guest book or house manual.

Getting around
Getting to the ski hill in winter is relatively easy in good weather, snow tires and all wheel drive is recommended during storms or after a snow fall. There is a shuttle bus that can transport you to the hill from close to town, a great option if you dont have 4WD and it snows. Driving to the house does not require a 4WD.
