About this property

Best Casita: A Hidden Jewel Next To The Plaza.

This hidden jewel only a block from Taos Plaza is part of a historical hacienda style adobe that once housed nuns working at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. Newly and tastefully renovated, the interior was designed with comfort and convenience in mind, and it features high ceilings, a well appointed kitchen, oak floors, a kiva fireplace, and a cozy living area. An old apple tree and a plum tree stand in a small, grassy courtyard that feels almost Mediterranean in it's serenity. It is located on a quiet one-way street only one block west of the Taos plaza.

Gas range and a large collection of cooking supplies. French door refrigerator, microwave. Full size washer and dryer, heated bathroom floor, a gas heating stove and a kiva fireplace. Electric baseboard heater in bedroom, ceiling fans. Premium linens and a down comforter and pillows; a comfortable plush/firm Queen mattress. Full sleeper sofa with memory foam topped mattress. High speed internet, HDTV, Blue Ray/DVD player, surround sound entertainment system, NetFlix streaming on Roku, Pandora/Spotify/Apple Airplay ready stereo system.

Sorry, but I cannot allow pets.

The location of the apartment is one of it's greatest assets. From the front door, a five minute walk will reach twelve restaurants, dozens of galleries, the best coffee in town (The World Cup), Shree Yoga Studio, Smith's grocery store, the Bent Street shopping district, Ledoux Street, and of course, the Taos Plaza. Security camera disclosure: There is a doorbell camera on the front door and motion activated security cameras in the parking area and at the front entrance to the courtyard. Other units on the property also have doorbell cameras.

We had a great stay- it was the first big snowfall of the year and we appreciated that the host shoveled our parking spot and the walkway to our casita. The place was lovely, and we enjoyed the cozy little fireplace.

Excellent location and charming casita in the heart of Taos

This secluded little casita is quaint and historic but tucked right in the heart of downtown Taos. It was well appointed to accommodate our family of 3 nicely. We loved the outdoor courtyard, wood floors, fireplace and heated bathroom floors. It was a treat to experience Taos here.

We had a very unfortunate experience occur. We arrived and the Casita had not been cleaned.There were dirty sheets on the bed, dirty towels on the floor and the garbage was hanging in the kitchen.Once we realized this, we tried to get ahold of the property manager. We called a total of six times and no one answered. We also contacted the owner through VRBO. Marcus did finally respond and offer solutions, after 90 minutes on the phone with VRBO.

Quiet and stylish

The Best Casita was great! The location and parking were excellent, and the casita was beautifully and thoughtfully furnished. It had all the modern conveniences with a nod to the original adobe. Loved entering through the peaceful courtyard.

This is such a lovely spot in the heart of Taos. It’s quiet and quaint with the perfect Northern New Mexico touches combined with modern conveniences. The list (in the guest info book) of recommended things to do is a great way to see the area. We loved hiking in the ski valley and along the Gorge. Exploring the plaza and downtown on foot was a delight from this location as well. The local teas were a treat and such a thoughtful way to welcome a guest. Thank you for another delightful stay in your Casita—we will be back!
