Our stay was very nice. The casita is warm and comfortable. The owners are very helpful and nice. Even though it's located outside of town, access to Taos and ski valley is easy and quick.

This is a fabulous place to stay to unwind and relax. The setting is exquisite with views from each window that are picture worthy. I was looking for a place to retreat and recharge from the hustle and bustle of big city life and found it! Maggie was friendly, helpful and a pleasure to deal with. The casita is neat, clean, and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well appointed and had many thoughtfully chosen tools, pots, and pans. I cooked a number of meals while I was there. The star-gazing in the hot tub each evening was an added bonus. The property is in a "dark sky" area (meaning that the ambient light is kept low) so the stars are much more easily visible. If you are looking for a retreat or a base of operations for a trip to Taos, this is the spot!

Great Expectations

Our expectations from the photos and descriptions were very high--and all were met. It's hard to find a casita with a full bath and a full kitchen, and both were exqisite. Mary was an exceptional hostess. We especially liked the location, down a private lane on the mesa overlooking the valley. So quiet--and because it's in an area that cherishes the stars, the neighbors keep their lights out at night. OMG--the milky way was spectacular--and the sunset with a sliver moon and Venus setting. What do they say about Taos...enchanting? Very. Leather furniture, a comfy bed and a very convenient and wise use of space in the casita made our four nights very warm and welcoming. We reveled in the "Frida" art theme--the movie was even provided to cap it off. We arrived the night before thanksgiving and packed in our groceries. We were so grateful for the full-size fridge and gas range. And the completely stocked spice selection capped it off. The checklist: accurate description, check; photos clearly reflecting the experinece, check; clean and well maintained, check; owner helpful, double check; recommend? check. Recommendations: Walk the placita, see the galleries--they're everywhere. Do the gorge. Find a nearby hike (Mary gave us a book of local trails). Ask a local about the restaurants! Shop at Cid's grocery--a full service organic supermarket. And relax, no risk in choosing this casita. So, privacy, peace and quiet, and the owner just a few paces away. What a great combination.

Beautiful casita and beautiful views

This place is amazing. We wanted to stay out of town and Maggie and Mary's casita fit the bill. It is beautifully decorated and well supplied. The owners are close by, friendly and helpful but allow you a lot of privacy. Maggie was very helpful about giving us suggestions on where to go for great photography outings. It's only about a 15 minute drive into Taos. The views to the west were stunning - we saw hot air balloons flying in the Rio Grande gorge. The night skies are incredible and you can see wildlife if you keep your eyes and ears open. It is a great base for exploring the area and driving the Enchanted Circle. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting the peace and tranquility of being in the country but close enough to Taos for dinner, shopping and entertainment. Pauline and Kevin Simpson.

My husband and I took our first vacation to Taos and we were so impressed with this casita. It had everything we needed and just as described. The casita was very clean and well-maintained. The perfect place to relax and look at the stars at night. We definitely loved that it was outside the city but still close enough where we could be at the shops or a restaurant in 10 minutes. Mary was great to deal with and very professional. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway.

My husband and I decided to take a "leave the city" vacation in Taos and chose Maggie and Mary's casita as our home away from home. It truly was that! It has EVERYTHING you need, it is relaxing, quiet, private and the views were great. It truly makes you appreciate the beauty of the natural surroundings and you will NOT want to leave. The kitchen was well equipped and we never lacked a thing! AWESOME things come in small packages. As we drove away we vowed to return. What a pleasure and honor it was to stay on this property. Thanks to Mary and Maggie for the hospitality!

The Artist Studio was just as described in the listing. Everything was clean and in order upon arrival. It was the perfect place to return to after a day of exploring the Taos area. I would definitely return.

This is the kind of place that sticks in your head and makes you want to go back...and back...and back again. It was spotless, beautifully decorated, peaceful and the views both day and night were killer. The best night's sleep we've had in ages and the best water we've ever drunk. Our hosts were attentive without being intrusive and all I can say is "bravo"! We'll be back.
