Beautiful!

The description of this home was spot on. It was perfect. The home is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The gourmet kitchen is exactly that! It’s lacking for nothing. 360 degree views and we had to decide which way we wanted to face when relaxing outside! Secluded, private and QUIET. Can’t wait to come back.

Ski Trip Stay

Beautiful, secluded property that had everything our group needed to enjoy our stay. Less than 30 minutes away from Taos Ski Valley made this location perfect for us. The hot tub was great for relaxing at the end of the day. Overall our whole group was incredibly impressed.

Another Great stay!

4th time staying at Casa Cielo - it’s our “go to” home when we visit Taos (2-3x per year) Super-clean - the house always feels like new when we arrive. Immaculate!

Great overall stay for the family

The property was very well appointed and clean. The location is private but convenient to the slopes and not a bad drive into town either. We will be back for years to come.

Nice Modern Southwestern House with Amazing Views

The house was nice, with a modern ascetic but still true to the southwestern style. The landscaping was really cool and made all the outdoor spaces great to hang out in. The views were awesome. Highly recommend and would stay again.

Beautiful home with stunning views

Loved everything about this home. Lovely southwestern style with attractive decor. Beautiful kitchen/family room, comfortable bedrooms with 2 nice bathrooms. Cute Ramada where you can grill and enjoy the outdoors. Nice hot tub. Enjoyed the 360 views and the dark skies for stargazing. We would definitely come back and stay longer next time.

Privacy and seclusion

Situated on a large lot with tons of privacy. The house is a beautiful new build with large open floor plan with great outdoor spaces including a nice grilling structure. The view from the living room is amazing. It was the perfect place to enjoy my morning coffee. The hot tub was also nice and private with great views. Totally relaxing, could want nothing more.

Winter Wonderland

I’ve stayed at tranquil Casa Cielo a few times before, and it never disappoints. This trip, I was greeted by a beautiful Winter Wonderland upon arrival, with stunning views in every direction. Temps dropped to the single digits by early morning, but the house always stayed warm and cozy.
