Casita Bella -clubhous pool tennis hot tub internet stream deck patio privacy
Arroyo Seco - Los Altos - Half way between Taos, NM village and Taos Ski Valley - 8 miles either direction
Casa Bella Casita / Cabin / Guest House can be rented with or without the main house. The two Taos vacation rental homes are well separated and offer a good sense of privacy from one another. Casita Bella's tree shaded deck offers a private hot tub, outdoor dining, gas grill and is perched above the "Acequia" (a stream which is part of the famous New Mexico irrigation system - recall the novel "The Milagro Beanfield War"). In addition to the shaded and private deck is a raised flagstone patio offering extended outdoor shaded living space. Although small and cozy, Casita Bella is big on value and has become "home away from home" to many repeat guests.

Reviewer Comments:
Great location, off-the highway and minutes from skiing. We had an issue when we arrived, that was immediately resolved by the caretaker. Kudos to them for a phenomenal response. The house was generally clean and in good order; however, it could definitely use a deep clean.
The casita was exactly what we needed! We loved it and the friendliness of the neighborhood.

The place should be clean if you charge a cleaning fee
Rough start. The couch hadn't been cleaned in months (took pics and sent to housekeeper) and I told her the hot tub looked yellow. She said she shocked it and after i sent pics she changed her tune. The property manager had her come and clean the food that had accumulated in the couch for months and reshock/replace the hot tub filter. Location is good for skiing and its quite. I would not use this property if you have over 3 people, 1 on couch and 2 in the queen bed.
Nice little Casita perfect for 2. Murphy bed was very comfortable. Hot tub was great, but cooled off quick and struggled to recover. Great location if you are skiing at Taos Ski Valley.
We were happy with our stay at Casa Bella, The community was very warm and inviting with a beautiful tub and a tennis court. Each night we had a romantic soak in the hot tub. The garage gave us a convenient way to pack for our outings.. The manager was very helpful.

Needs bare basic updates
Stayed here nearly 12 years ago murphy bed mattress was old and rough couch was outdated and you sink in, not in a good way the rugs on the walls and especially the floors were gross but we enjoyed the area so much we decided to make back for our 30th anniversary booked 7 days for over 200 a night Thinking SURELY since so many years have gone by some updates had been made and NO update has been made, same broken down mattress same dirty sinking couch, same filthy rugs. This time nothing was stocked we had A roll of toilet paper for a 7 day stay , the dish cabinet hasn't been cleaned out in awhile there was a very ancient bottle of chili tabasco that smelled so bad and stuck in the wood we cleaned it out but the smell is there. We scoured the garage for supplies and found a locked cabinet that was unlocked thank goodness. We used the toilet paper I brought from home and town isn't across the street. The hot tub was filthy and yellow we had to amend that for two days before we could use it. Thank goodness I found those supplies in the garage for that. This stay really bummed us out. We could not sleep one single night in the same bed..we switched back and forth thats a drag on your 30th anniversary vaca week you saved a year for. Sure we are a decade older and 50 but I honestly don't see how any couple of any age could get a solid night sleep in that thing. Anyway we were hoping to re-book in a couple months unfortunately we will not be returning a 3rd time. Nice area though

Reviewer Comments:
We loved the cosiness of the place and the fact that it's close to the taos ski valley. We tried both the clubhouse pool and the hot tub and loved it. Our son loved the pool especially.The place was clean and as described - small kitchen and even a small dining table was a big plus.
We loved the rugs in the casita and the full-sized stove and fridge in the kitchenette. The washer and dryer came in handy and the gas stove made for cozy evenings. Everything we needed was there. The best part is the little deck over the stream under the beautiful trees. The neighbors are friendly and the subdivision is very quiet. The caretaker is super nice and very responsive. If you're a skier the casita is only a short drive from the ski mountain. We needed a place that took dogs and this was perfect.

The casita sits on the banks of a lush acequia, where water is released and rushes past the back door with a pleasant swish. The house is charming and well appointed--great stay.

Enjoyed our stay very much. The only thing I would suggest to make it better was to improve the wifi reception. It was very spotty most of the time. Maybe a router closer to the residence?

This cabin is very close to Taos Ski Valley (13 min drive) and the private hot tub is nice. The bed is a fold down that doubles as living room space. This is a guest house attached to the garage. The Wi-Fi and cell service is spotty. It had everything we needed to have a successful ski trip.
Everything about Casita Bella was great. The setting is lovely. The casita is cute, well-stocked and comfortable. Everything is easily stored and found to assure a great stay. We couldn’t recommend this Experience highly enough. We were very satisfied.

We had a great time. Great location, easy to find. Cozy but nice, actually larger than expected. The scenery was awesome
My husband and I and our Schnauzer, Sunny enjoyed our stay. The Murphy bed was comfortable.
Kristi was extremely helpful. She and her husband came over to light the fireplace as we had no experience with it. She responded to several other requests in a very timely manner.

Quaint and a very private patio next to a running creek!
We loved staying here! The apartment was tastefully decorated and had everything we needed. Very clean and well kept. The stream running off the porch made us feel like we were in our own oasis. We brought our dogs along, and the neighborhood is a beautiful, safe place to go on a morning and evening walks (bonus is that Taos itself is super pet friendly).
We hope to be back in the future with friends to rent out the main house as well!
