Taos, NM: More Pet Friendly Lodging & Eateries than Any Other Same Sized SW Town

Taos, New Mexico is not only one of the best small towns, (Smithsonian magazine) and prettiest towns (Forbes magazine) in the country, but it is now one the most furry friendly, with more pet-friendly lodging facilities and eateries than any other comparably sized town or city in the Southwest compared to Ariz.; Calif.; Colo.; Nev.; Okla.; and Utah.

With a population of just over 6,000, nearly 84 percent of Taos outdoor patio eating establishments welcome pets; while 76 percent of lodging facilities among Taos hotels and Bed and Breakfasts (B&Bs) welcome four-legged travelers. The official Taos website has a full, comprehensive summary of all Taos lodging and eating establishments that allow well-behaved pets, including applicable pet surcharges, policies, vaccination requirements and other relevant information per facility.

Those of us who own pets understand that they are part of our families and enrich our lives and experiences, said Town of Taos Mayor Darren Cordova. There are many elements of Taos that attract visitors here, but for pet owners, knowing that many lodging and eating establishments not only allow but welcome friendly pets is an added incentive for making Taos the next vacation destination for the entire family four legged and otherwise.

According to a survey by PetRelocation.com, 93 percent of U.S. travelers expect to take at least one trip with their pet(s) this year.

During the dog days of summer, Taos has agreeable temperatures which rarely exceed 80 degrees. A hike at the Wild Rivers Recreation Area of the Rio Grande Gorge will give dogs a much-needed jaunt while owners can enjoy a dramatic and spectacular view of the Sangre de Cristo mountains along 22 miles of hiking trails.

A Selection of Modern Bathroom Vanities with A Little Vintage Flair to Make the Best of Both Worlds is Introduced by HomeThangs.com Home Improvement Super Store


(PRWEB) July 21, 2012

HomeThangs.com the Home Improvement Super Store has made their goal to deliver the right product to the consumer, with that in mind, shopping and home design tips, as well as special product selections are being introduced.

Some homes are so architecturally distinct that they dictate the way to design inside. Victorian, Cape Cod, cottage style, and ranch homes all come with set, expected interior decor, just to name a few. But if a home doesnt conform to any particular structural form, there is a lot more freedom to choose any decor. Although, it can be difficult to choose a single style, and effectively executing an eclectic design isnt easy. Especially when it comes to bathroom design, many people are torn between decadent vintage styles and a simpler, sleeker modern design. The opulence of a period bathroom is great for a little R&R, but modern bathroom design often makes for a cleaner finish.

HomeThangs.com introduced a selection of bathroom vanities that combine both styles – they have all the minimal, slightly surprising design expected from modern bathroom vanities, but are made in simplified antique and vintage shapes for a modern take on classical elegance. Designers at HomeThangs highlighted the key elements of successfully mixing the two styles together.
