Location: Taos, New Mexico, USA (Walking Distance to Taos Plaza & the Historic District)

Accommodations:  Casita, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-6)

There is also an adjoining schoolhouse studio which can be rented separately or as a 2nd bedroom to the casita. This lovely part of the property was just remodeled and has a queen sized bed and a full futon/sofa. A port-a-crib is also available. The Saint Teresa Mission nuns used the schoolhouse to teach the Taos Pueblo children.

In Taos, New Mexico, at the end of Morada Lane, just two blocks east of Taos Plaza, you'll find an intimate lodging option for your southwestern retreat. The northeast wing of the home was originally Saint Teresa's Mission in the mid to late 1800's. Later in the 1930's, it was part of the Mabel Dodge Luhan estate, then Taos Society of Artists' Victor Higgins studio.

In recent years, the registered historic landmark was a prestigious art gallery. Georgia O'Keefe was inspired to paint her famous "cross series" here. She was inspired by the old morada behind the house which is surrounded by the extraordinary Taos Pueblo. Ansel Adams, D.H. Lawrence and many other intriguing guests also stayed here over the years.

Peaceful and serene, Casita Morada is now available to inspire you. It is ideal for creative artists and writers who appreciate "a certain slant of light" and a relaxing place for quite reflection.

Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 2006

I am thrilled to be part of a fun loving family of eight. Our collective love of art, music, fresh air, travel and learning keeps our lives vivid and full of wonderful memories together.

One season we are taking in the crisp autumns, snowy winters, breathtaking mountain vistas and eclectic history of Northern New Mexico. Next we are soaking up the warm sunshine, tropical breezes, luscious flavors and sacred spirit of the Hawaiian Islands.

We are privileged to have found ourselves stewards of three remarkable properties in these magical locations. We have lovingly revived these homes, taking great care to honor the history and sacred space of each one.

It is our pleasure to share with you, our gracious guest, these special places so dear to our heart. Welcome, and may your visit with us become part of your own collection of wonderful memories!

Aloha!

      From the tranquil fountains outside to the beautiful rugs inside - our trip to New Mexico was off to a wonderful start when we walked into the casita. You've done a perfect job decorating in each room. Each visitor we had could not belive the peaceful setting and charming feeling in the rooms. Thanks for everything!
