I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and I love photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world! Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream.
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
The Land of Enchantment is not only home to some of the most unique landscapes in the country but some of the most unique accommodations. One such place to spend the night is an Earthship, a particular style of architecture that uses both natural and upcycled materials in its construction, with the result being a fascinating home that looks like it belongs on another planet. So, are you intrigued? Well, there’s a well-known Earthship home you can spend the night in and we think it’s the most unique vacation home rental in Taos County, New Mexico.
Known as the Dobson House, this is perhaps the most famous Earthship home in Taos. And you can spend the night here!
The entire home is 6,500 square feet and sits right above the Rio Grande Gorge. Not only is this house one of the most unique places you'll ever stay but it's surrounded by gorgeous natural beauty that you can easily explore the moment you step outside.
However, it's recommended that you have an AWD or 4WD vehicle to get here as its location is off the beaten path.

There are two suites available to book for up to four guests. Each suite has a private patio, a queen bed, a sitting area, a mini fridge, and a microwave.
You'll also have full use of the gourmet kitchen. Spend some time cooking a delicious meal and then sit down to dine all while enjoying gorgeous views!
The areas surrounding the Dobson House are absolutely perfect for those who love to explore the great outdoors. Just step outside and head out -- you won't have to drive anywhere!
Not too far from the Dobson House is the John Dunn Bridge which crosses over the Rio Grande. This historic bridge was built in 1908 and is a must-visit when staying at the Dobson House.
