About this property

Casa de Little Tree 5 - beautifully landscaped courtyard, private hot tub

Arroyo Seco - Half way between Taos Ski Valley and Taos Village - 11 miles either direction - Private and secluded with panoramic mountain views

Casa de Little Tree is the former Little Tree Bed and Breakfast, so popular and loved by so many returning guests over the last 20 years. The proud new owners stayed here many times as they would visit and dream about "having a place in Taos someday". Their dream has happened and they have been devotedly dedicated to creating an exceptional Taos vacation rental for all who come to enjoy.

There are 5 large bedrooms total in the compound. The adobe main house has 3 inviting bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths, a den with a sleeper sofa and a banco for a quiet escape to read, meditate or nap.

The Casita, separated by a landscaped courtyard has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and 2 secluded walled courtyards and one that includes a hot tub for all to share. Every bedroom has its own distinct and inviting personality.

The Main house interior walls are hand plastered with mica, straw, and earthen pigments from the area and are accented with a variety of colorful imported tile. This highly touted craft adds a most subtle ambiance to each and every room. In addition, two of the bedrooms have rammed earth floors, an almost lost art in current times.

The picturesque courtyard features seasonal blooms, an apple tree, and a vast unimpeded panoramic view of the mountains, as well as the desert floor to the Rio Grande Gorge and beyond. A bench under the apple tree is a welcome respite for watching passing cloud or to gaze up at the starry nigh time sky

Enjoy alfresco dining under the spacious portico. Perfect for grilling, fellowship and celebrations such as a wedding or a family reunion. Out on the Hondo Mesa, peace, quiet and a gentle breeze are the norm and a quick run up to Arroyo Seco makes for an enjoyable afternoon. Opportunities for fly fishing, skiing, hiking, rafting, biking, horseback riding and ballooning are close at hand.

Stay at Casa de Little Tree and experience Taos as full and rich as living in Taos can get..

Our group stayed at Casa de Little Tree 5 (which is a odd name, by the way), over Christmas of 2025. We were a party of ten - four families/couples including two babies. Other than the lack of snow and actual winter in Taos this year, it was a wonderful place to spend Christmas with our extended family. There was space for both privacy and togetherness.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The main house and casita with 2 bedrooms and two baths was perfect for our group of 10 adults and a toddler. The interior of the place was wonderfully decorated and gives a nice homey vibe. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped, every bedroom had its own bathroom and we used the main fireplace on two nights. Instructions and hints about how use things were clear and helpful. The check-in and out procedures were clear and easy to follow (and were not onerous). Our dealings with Premier Properties were prompt, courteous and helpful. The property caretaker was friendly, polite and very attentive when we had a small problem which she came and fixed promptly. The location is great with easy access to the ski areas, Taos, restaurants, groceries, and shopping. It helped make our stay wonderfully pleasant. We'd go back in a heartbeat.

Fabulous house for a group trip

We rented the house for a group of 12 getting together from all around the country. The house is beautiful and spacious and is stocked with everything you need! The layout of the house was perfect with 5 bedrooms with their own bathroom plus a bonus room with a pullout couch that our friends said was very comfortable. Convenient location to get to Taos Ski Valley and beautiful views right outside. We loved our stay and will hopefully be back again!

Wonderful place for extended family

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home! The property is perfect for a large group and the view is breathtaking. Our extended family all had space but we loved the big kitchen table, living room and courtyard for coming together. Check in was seamless. House was clean and well stocked! We cooked Thanksgiving dinner and the house had everything we needed. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Casa de Little tree vacation oasis

What an excellent location and property for our trip with 4 couples and one single for an extended ski weekend! The 5 bedrooms each with a bathroom was perfect. The kitchen was well appointed. The house is beautifully decorated with comfortable common rooms. The location is between Taos town and the slopes. I highly recommend this VRBO.

Beautiful Adobe compound near Taos Ski Valley

The home was very beautiful and well stocked with different kitchen supplies and other home amenities. The directions the Property management company gave are slightly inaccurate which made it slightly harder to find. Overall great experience and would like to stay again!

Perfect for adults

Since the house was once a bed and breakfast, everyone could have their privacy if needed. We spent the bulk of our time in the living room with a fire, in the kitchen or around the kitchen table. It’s a perfect place to relax after a long day of snow skiing. We had everything we needed, and the property manager responded soon if we had a question. I would definitely go back.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We came for Christmas with a family group. We all had a wonderful time enjoying the sunsets and isolated beauty of the home and its location. The location was very convenient in between the ski resort and Taos which was about 15 minutes to both. The home was well equipped for everything we needed, and the bedrooms were arranged in a way to give lots of privacy to everyone. The fireplace in the living room did not vent very well, we would have liked to use more but not at all a big deal.

Family skii vacation.

Property manager was very responsive and helpful. Our water unexpectedly shut off due to a mechanical error but was back on with the help of the property manager within an hour. The 3rd bedroom in the main house has a private entrance but does not have an entrance connecting to the house. If you have adults it’s a private room with its own bathroom but if you have kids they would have to exit outdoors to access the main house. This property has a well stocked and beautiful kitchen with beautiful panoramic views. The house only has small televisions in the two sitting areas in the main house, there are no tvs in the casita. Our family enjoyed the property and had a very memorable vacation.

Casa de Little Tree

Our group consisted of 7 adults and a baby. The layout of the property was great: each room had its own bathroom and was private. It was stocked well with towels, shampoo and conditioner. We did buy a kitchen sponge and more paper towels. We enjoyed sitting in the courtyard with coffee in the morning and wine in the evening while we watched the little tree bloom right before our eyes. It is about :15 minute drive into the town of Taos. If you are looking for privacy, it is great. A little inconvenient if you want to spend time in Taos. The hot tub was heated and used every night. Management responded quickly when we had a question about the tv not connecting. They were unable to help us but we found a connection unplugged which solved our problem. The kitchen sink drained very slowly and the disposal did not work at all. An enzyme drain cleaner (septic safe) could be very helpful. Also two toilets (the one in the red guest half bathroom and the one in the bedroom next to the laundry room) may have leaking issues. They ran continuously. Our 84 year old birthday girl did not sleep at all the first night due to that issue. We closed the water valve at nighttime as a solution. We cooked at home most nights. The kitchen has plenty of dishes, silverware, glasses and coffee cups. We really enjoyed eating outside at La Cueva Cafe for dinner one night and our breakfast at Michael’s Kitchen. We would recommend this property

Lack of good maintenance spoiled the vacation

When we first arrived, we were pleasantly surprised by the main house, casita and courtyard. The house and casita were nice and cool. The house was spacious and the kitchen well equipped. In the courtyard were planted many flowers and well as herbs for cooking. There was easy access to Taos and restaurants near the house. We had booked the house in October based on the great reviews. I saw complaints by renters in April and May but hoped they would be rectified. Unfortunately, they were not. As previously reported, the master bedroom bath was not clean and shower/bathtub drain was partially clogged so that soapy shower water rose in the tub and drained very slowly. The biggest problem was the kitchen sink. It drained very slowly. Someone noticed the garbage disposal didn’t work as had been previously reported. The sink got progressively worse over the next four days. When the dishwasher was running, it disgorged food debris and dirty water deep into the sink. The garbage from it had to be wiped out manually each time. I contacted the housekeeper and management company and they promised to send a plumber out. At one point even said that a plumber was on the way – no show. Disgusted, we decided to leave early and would have except for plane reservation issues. The management company contacted the owner to see if he would authorize a partial refund for the inconvenience. The management company came back with a 2% offer which the five of us found insulting.

Disappointing Taos house

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Disappointing! I feel I had a nicer place rented, that became unavailable, so this was best alternative. Although from the property there were nice views, most of the rooms in the house had no view whatsoever! Living room view to inside courtyard, same with master BR. 3 of the 5 BR had to walk outside to get to main house. Master BR shower had Slow Drain, gross.

The property managers were easy to communicate with and easy to work with as well. Our group had some hiccups during the booking phase, but the management was very accommodating and understanding and willing to work with us. The property itself was very clean and well kept. WiFi was not great but understandable due to remote location. Some issues with toilets leaking(stopper would not fully close) but was able to fix by turning off toilet water completely. Location set up was amazing. Our group booked to ski in Taos and was not disappointed. Close to Taos, rio grande and town. Would recommend to book again

Great Family Getaway

Our four children are spread far and wide so we try to get together once a year. They all deserve a vacation since they are using time-off. So I look for a property where they can all have a nice bedroom and bath. This one really fit the bill along lots of outdoor space, a hot tub and a great kitchen. We did bike riding, hiking, games, relaxing and eating well. We loved the kiva fireplaces! And the location in Arroyo Secco was much better than being in Taos. Beautiful mountain views and the town of Arroyo Seco was charming.
