  • My wife and I stayed in this house for a week in mid-October 2009. The house is ideally located in the sagebrush north of town. It is perhaps five minutes from the plaza and fifteen minutes, or less, from TSV. Though there are other houses nearby it is in a quiet location - I saw only a few people all week. There are great views to the mountains from several rooms - stunning sunrises and sunsets. There are many windows in the house and great light throughout. We did not use it very often but the large kitchen looked well equipped. There is a dining table that will, I think, seat six. A washer and dryer are also present. The house has fast wifi. Both bedrooms are nicely sized as are the bathrooms. There were more than enough towels, etc. The beds are not kings but they are comfortable and of nice size. The living room has a couple of chairs and I think a sleeper sofa though we never pulled it out to check. There is a small television with a DVD player in the living room and another TV in one of the bedrooms, both with satellite service. There is also a sound system which we did not use. There is a large backyard with a grill. The house has a small private side yard, off the bedrooms, with a nice hot tub which we used almost every evening. There are beautiful views of the night sky from the hot tub. The house was clean. The owner was easy to get in touch with and very helpful. Check in and check out are "self serve" as are most properties on VRBO and was easy. A pager number is provided for a local property manager in case of any problems but we had no occasion to use it. We had a great low-key week in Taos staying at this house and plan on staying here again the next time we are in the area.

  • This was our first visit to Casa Del Luz but certainly not the last! Casa del Luz is the perfect home for a comfortable and peaceful get away plus the views from the hot tub are nothing short of spectacular. I also have to add how wonderful the property owners are. We left some items in the home on our departure that I assumed would be gone forever. Instead, the owners really went over and above to see that they were returned to me. Thank you so much! I can't wait for our next visit.

  • It has been my pleasure to stay at Casa de Luz four times during the last three years. Each experience has been both inspiring and healing to the mind and body. I would like to express my appreciation to you for sharing your home with me and others. A vacation that is truly a VACATION. Thanks Again, Frances Hunter

    We had a great time at Casa de Luz. It was a great getaway for the three of us. The fishing was good and helped us relax. We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub every night. The view here is beautiful. We can't wait to return!

    What a great place to ring in the New Year! The snow was awesome but the experience would not have been the same without La Casa de Luz. We loved it! This was my 3rd trip to Taos and by far the best! Thanks so much!
