The Stakeout
The legendary Taos hideaway of desperados and outlaws
The legendary Taos hideaway of desperados and outlaws — from Billy the Kid to Dennis Hopper — The Stakeout at Outlaw Hill is reborn as New Mexico’s premier venue, a reprieve from modern life, and an iconic location for ceremonies and celebrations. The Stakeout offers over 3,000 square feet, including a commercial kitchen, three kiva fireplaces, an outdoor bar and grill, saltillo tile, hand carved doors, fine southwestern & modern art, both indoor and outdoor space for any celebration. We’re located just south of Taos NM, where you’d be hard pressed to find a view that wasn’t swept with purples, pinks, sage and snow capped mountains.

Love Notes
“Breathtaking views, stunning New Mexico architecture with high ceilings, vigas, carved doors. A commercial grade chef's kitchen, and spacious indoor seating with a view through floor-to-ceiling carved doors with glass insets to the amazing terrace and beyond to the mountain ranges surrounding the property. The expansive terrace is the perfect place to enjoy outdoor dining, dancing, or simplying watching a New Mexico sunset.”
