Why the Owner Chose Taos
This is a fabulous location, close to everything you might want to do in Taos. Taos is a small community of creative people who continuously have parades, festivals, craft shows, and musical performances. A few blocks away is the TCA (Taos Community Arts) where there are movie festivals, plays and other performances throughout the year. The Taos Pueblo is two miles away and Taos Pueblo has open events for visitors from time to time.

Michael's Kitchen is a famous visitor's spot. It has good family eating at a moderate price

Owner's Map of Taos
Casita Manuel sits across from my other Casita (Casita Maya) in a complex with 4 Casitas totally. Before I purchased Casita Manuel, I rented it for visitors to Taos, while I stayed in Casita Maya. When it became available for purchase, I jumped on it and over the last few years, have added a patio with patio furniture, new floors throughout the unit, a new couch and new paint to the kitchen. As an artist, I have enjoyed including some paintings and personalizing the unit a little as well. Every year I try to add something new to the Casita to keep it fresh and nice for visitors.
