Tara House, a name given by its current owner, was constructed around 1890. The monumental front porch and balcony are of the Edwardian period while the turreted widows’ peak is of Victorian influence. While preserving the original stature of the exterior of the home, the inside has been modernized while maintaining its old-world charm. The three large bedrooms upstairs are beautifully appointed and the two full baths have jetted tubs. There is a wonderful gourmet kitchen, fully equipped. Warm up with a gas fireplace and dry bar in the parlor. The dining room will seat up to 12 and the living room is extremely comfortable with big screen tv and streaming entertainment. The furnishings combine form with function, much of which come from estate & antique shops downtown, a short walk from Tara House.  There is fabulous off-street parking on the adjoining south lot. Fruit, flowering trees, berry bushes and a vegetable garden are part of the landscape. Please enjoy the harvests when in season. You can’t miss the neighborhood bread store and Family Dollar up the street. There’s even an Enterprise rent-a-car one block away next block. I-25 is two blocks away with access in either direction. The convenience and beauty of this home make discovering Pueblo’s rich history, culture and activity a fun experience.

Tara House is three blocks from the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center & Museum, the Convention Center. Stroll the beautiful downtown River Walk with many antique shops and great restaurants. It is the place to be during the annual September Chili Festival. Golf, fly-fish the gold-medal waters of the Arkansas River, recreate at Pueblo Reservoir, take a train up or trolley over the breathtaking Royal Gorge, or saunter through the famous Pueblo Zoo.  There is plenty to do in Historic Pueblo. 

Tara house is not a typical B&B in that the entire house is available for your next gathering. An off-site caretaker will check you in and out and will provide you with services during your stay. The home is equipped with high speed internet and a security system.  We think you will find your stay hear to be as wonderful as we do.  We look forward to your stay.
