  This 1964 Streamline has travelled all over the world.  He’s seen a lot and done a lot. Having ridden life hard and fast, he’s acquired equal tales of joyous adventures and painful sorrows.   We found him alone in a field all busted up, rusted out, and ready to call it a ride.  But we could see he still had some shimmer left.  As we began to nurse him back his incoherent babbles routinely centered around two topics:  his time in New York City and the lost love of his life.  We figured we’d surprise him when he came to with all new lofty digs comprised of brick, concrete, tile and metal – everything a city boy could ask for.  Back on his axels and looking for a good time we had to call this passionate badboy Diego!  Diego comes with separate twin beds for you and your compadre.  Yeah, with our Frida looking on we figured it was best this way.       *Photos by our resident photographer, Amanda Powell.

World, meet Frida. This 1958 Twilight trailer has made herself at home on our high desert mesa, but her heart and soul will always remain in the tropics. Like her namesake Frida Kahlo, this trailer is bold, vibrant, and unexpected, with surreal touches that will nudge your imagination to wander to faraway lands. Frida sleeps up to 5 with a queen bed, two twin bunks, and a fold out couch, so bring your friends or the whole family to cozy up among the colors and textures of a tropical paradise all year round!

  Louise and her sister Thelma hail from the Texas Gulf – you might be surprised to find that sandy shores and salty waves were in their blood way before they ever knew of sagebrush and mountains. In her teenage years Louise had a penchant for flirting with bronzed lifeguards and sun-kissed surfer dudes, sneaking down to the beach with them after dark and getting sand in all her rivets. After years of chasing love up and down the shore, and plenty of broken hearts, her sister Thelma had a crazy idea – “Let’s retreat to the mountains. Let’s test our own strength, discover who we really are, and find a place where we truly belong!” So off they went, in search of happiness, community, and connection. They diverted from the shore into the heart of America, taking the scenic route across midwestern plains before veering west towards the Rocky Mountains. After a stint at a hippie commune in central Colorado, Thelma and Louise felt a magnetic pull further south and finally rolled up to Luna Mystica, where they instantly knew they would stay forever. Louise feels seen and free to be her fun-loving self among our diverse group of tin cans in all shapes, sizes, and walks of life. Hosting girly slumber parties is her calling, and any night that she can sip rosé as the sun goes down feels like the best night of her life. Louise’s perch on the eastern corner of our mesa offers her guests a secluded feel and an uninterrupted view of the Sangre de Cristos. Plus the view of that hunk Spartacus across the site isn’t bad either 😉 Photos by our resident photographer, Amanda Powell. Check out her portfolio at www.adriftadream.photography!

Legend has it that Spartacus was once the notorious leader in Europe’s underground spice trade. Traveling purely by railcar, Spartacus would hop country to country, smuggling forbidden spices and herbs for his clients in the very top of the elite class. After years of successfully smuggling goods under the radar, Spartacus had built an empire in the spice trade industry that connected all corners of the globe. Then, as if by an act of a greater power, Spartacus and his elusive empire vanished without a trace. That was until we found him in the middle of nowhere atop a hillside in Bastrop, Texas. There he had spent years on high ground overlooking the Colorado River, hiding from the international authorities and any rival smugglers that he might have crossed in his previous life.  Since then, Spartacus has found a new purpose in life and decided to join our motley crew of vintage trailers on mesa. Although his life isn’t filled with the excitement it used to be, he’s happy spending his days accommodating families and friends in search of a unique lodging experience. With a queen bed, jacuzzi bathtub, and classy décor, Spartacus is the perfect trailer for anyone looking to spice up their true Taos experience.

Put em up! Sundance has arrived and he’s not here to play games. This western icon is best known for his time spent with his partner in crime, Butch Cassidy. After running from the Bolivian government and barely surviving a severely out-numbered shoot out, Sundance decided it was time to put his pistols down and find peace in the Sangre De Cristo Mountains. Don’t let his outlaw past misguide you though. His western hospitality is sure to please anyone looking for a warm and cozy adventure in Taos, New Mexico. With a queen bed, convertible dinette, full bathroom, and beautiful mountain views Sundance is perfect for any solo gun slinger, or team of train-hopping bank robbers looking for a quiet place to lay their heads for the evening.

Greetings earthlings, Greetings earthlings. I am Apollo, the son of spacecraft Apollo 11’s Airstream quarantine facility. After the lunar landing in 1969, NASA responded to the threat of potential moon diseases and pathogens by quarantining the astronauts post-landing. One of these holding sites was none other than our Apollo’s father, a 35’ Airstream trailer. Modified with advanced air filtration and human waste containment systems, Apollo’s old man kept our space travelers company while they waited out the spread of potential moon germs. Our newest addition is also a 35’ Airstream, and he grew up with his rivets in the stars. He dreamed of space exploration, of joining NASA not only as a quarantine facility but as part of the Apollo spacecraft itself. So it was to his dismay that right off the assembly line Apollo was given rails, not rockets, and tossed into service under the Southern Pacific Railroad. He worked the railways, providing accommodation for their employees with his fellow trailer comrades. He could never stop dreaming of the stars, and his sense of purpose was crushed — leaving him in a deep state of depression. In 1989, Southern Pacific sold off the Airstream fleet, disbanding the rail comrades and leaving Apollo in a suburb of Texas for decades. By the time we discovered him, he was gutted, left only with a cabin full of broken dreams. We brought him to Luna Mystica, polished the years of railroad silt right off of him, and gave him a makeover true to his roots. We are happy to introduce our very own spaceship, happily offering HLM lunar landings and star filled missions at his launch site in Taos, NM ?

Meet Terry. Hailing from the high roads of Colorado, our Terry recently decided to ditch the Rocky Mountain crowds and nestle down in Taos. Terry was donated by our friends Kathleen and Greg when he expressed his desire to leave the traveling trailer life behind and rest his wheels in peace. It was becoming clear he could no longer compete with all the hip new converted vans criss-crossing America, so he decided to raise his flag and take on a more sedentary life in his golden years. We are happy to have Terry and his Colorado roots holding down our western corner, offering him and his guests the best sunset views at HLM. Steadfast and virtuous, sometimes extraordinarily blunt, Terry will yell at unwanted visitors poaching our shower house and tends to make inappropriate jokes about the year he was born. Don’t listen to what he tells you, it’s still not legal in New Mexico. He’s passionate about craft beer, naturally, so make sure you pour the last few sips out for him!

Otherwise known as the Gemini Twins, Castor and Pollux are well known in Greek mythology, but not a lot of people have heard how they ended up in Taos. Story has it these iconic twins once lived a life of eternal youth in the stars until Zeus, ruler of Olympia, caught Castor giving the good ole lightening rod to his daughter, Helen. Horrified and utterly ashamed by Castor’s actions, Zeus stripped him of his immortality and banned him and his brother to life on the Mesa. Now forever joined by a shared deck, these two live their days side by side gazing into the Taos Mountains. We asked and apparently the views are much better out here. Pollux, the larger of the two, comes with a queen bed, convertible dinette, full kitchen and bathroom. Castor, the runt of the pack, offers a twin bed, convertible dinette, kitchen and bathroom. Both are perfect for traveling couples or solo adventure seekers. If you are coming with a group, why not get both? The 50 ft. shared deck is perfect for enjoying the sunrises, sunsets, and late night conversations together with your pals. Plus, Castor and Pollux are expert stargazers and will tell you more than you’d like to know about their old friends up in the sky.

Take one step into Rosie’s oasis and let all your troubles disappear. With a full bed, convertible dinette and open floor plan Rosie is perfect for traveling couples, adventurous families, or anyone looking for an unforgettable lodging experience.

Meet our Capitan. No, he’s not your average sailor. The Capitan has come from the crests of the Colorado Rockies and he’s used to being on top. Out of respect, we initially employed him as our hotel office. Now this 42’ Imperial Mansion with his 70’s/mid-century décor boast two bedrooms and comfortably sleeps six. Unsettlingly braggadocious? A bit. Trying to make up for something when you pull back one of his four bedsheets? Not a chance! This trailer brings the party. Make sure you and your crew come with it when you stay with the Captain.   Thank you to our friends Bridget (@bridgetrburnett), Kelsey (@poppyandco_), and Rebecca (@rebeccahaleyphotography) for contributing to Soy Capitan’s photo gallery!

Meet Yogi. He’s smarter than the average trailer. Yogi and his pal Boo-Boo spent years climbing trees and enjoying well-prepared meals out of stolen pic-a-nic baskets before Ranger Smith ran them out of Jellystone Park. He now lives a much quieter life out on the mesa where you can find him gazing off into the beautiful Taos mountains. With a full sized mattress and convertible dinette/bed, Yogi can sleep three people comfortably. Whether you’re traveling with a friend or coming solo we are confident you’ll be cozy with our Yogi.

Meet our classic 1953 Vagabond, Judd. He abides to showing everyone a good time. Vagabonds are a staple vintage trailer, and we are honored to host one with as much character as the dude it came from. With unobstructed mountain views and homey feel, Judd truly is one of a kind. Oh, did we mention this one boasts a hand-painted Moroccan floor? Would the Dude settle for anything less, man? Sleeps 3 – Queen + sleeper sofa (full size)

Story has it our 1969 Aristocrat used to be a little rough around the edges. Dennis came off the production line, straight into the fast lane. He doesn’t talk about it much, but he will say after one last run to Mexico with some guys by the name of Billy and Fonda that he decided to retire to sunset views and campfire jam sessions.  Small but iconic, Dennis is perfect for the traveling couple or adventurous group. We recommend you don’t dig too deep in Dennis, you never know what you’ll find.

Meet Ralphie, a 26’ Airstream Overlander who’s spent his life exploring the canyons, shredding the mountains and cruising the valleys of New Mexico. After 55 years on the road, his two little wheels grew too tired to roll on. Like a weary traveler returning home, Ralphie decided to find a place to settle down for good. He became the only Airstream to plaster himself with the mica crystals he collected on his travels. Northern New Mexico through and through, Ralphie is unlike anyone you’ve ever met. Let him be your home base as you explore the magical mesa and mountains of Taos! Sleeps 2. Dinette can convert to sleep a 3rd person.   Thank you to our guests Bridget (@bridgetrburnett), Kelsey (@poppyandco_), and Rebecca (@rebeccahaleyphotography) for contributing to Ralphie’s photo gallery!

Before WWII, the Spartan Aircraft Company was an aeronautical college and airplane manufacturer. After the war, the Spartan factory, enhanced by wartime production, restructured itself to address the great need for housing. After lots of soul searching, our 32’ Spartanette embraced his roots by asking renowned Taos aerial photographer Chris Dahl-Bredine to help him find his ancestors’ airborne perspective. Inside you’ll find stunning aerial photos of the Taos landscape, a spacious layout and sprawling mountain views. Let Christopher remind you that it’s always good to reflect on where you came from and dream about where you’ll go next. Luxuriously sleeps 2. Thank you to our guest Talia Lezama (@taliathecat_) for contributing to Christopher’s photo album!

Meet our beautiful 33’ Spartan Imperial Manor, Jazzy. Known for being an entertainer and true fifties girl at heart, Jazzy was deeply moved by Taos. “An unnamed spirit that you can’t put your finger on, something about the quality of light, the angles. . .  there’s something that makes this place special.” She adopted a modern, subtle southwest style that will make you feel right at home. Taos is a gorgeous place, and it would make Jazzy’s day to share it with you! Luxuriously sleeps 2. Thank you to our guest Meaghan McBell for contributing to Jazzy’s photo gallery!

Meet Thelma, the more playful sister of our Avion pair. When we found Thelma she was just about to drive herself over the edge. We convinced her life always has its ups and downs; sometimes a change of scenery and open skies flips everything upside down. Thelma and her sister found refuge in Taos, holding down their easterly corner, welcoming new days. She is happiest reflecting on what’s around her. What will you see? Thanks to our guest Wade Godman for contributing to Thelma’s photos! Check out his portfolio here.

Meet Donna, your coolest family member who surfed the 60’s Americana wave and makes you wonder if you were born in the wrong generation. She enjoys reminiscing about drive-in movies and listening to the Beatles at Highway 1 campsites. Drink a couple glasses of wine with her and you might catch her more turbulent tales of the road, that time she saw Bob Dylan at Newport fest or when Steve McQueen got inside her at Woodstock. Who knows what’s true or not? Somehow you don’t question it. Her boisterous personality is loving and sweet as pie, and you’re more than likely to create some stories of your own with her!
