Overview
Stylish 1 bedroom with large living room sleeps 4-13 when combined with #470527
This 1-bedroom casita (small house) has a very large great room, beautiful kitchen and bathroom . The focal point of the great room may be its beautiful kiva style fireplace, but the wood ceilings with their large vigas will impress you! This room is very comfortably furnished with a large leather couch and easy chair. For children or extra guests, the daybed sleeps 2. Guests sitting in the conversation area will enjoy being close to the fire. Dining table has 6 chairs. The kitchen has beautiful marble counters, gas range, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher and is fully equipped for all your baking/dining needs. The bedroom has a queen bed and its own little stove to keep you warm and toasty. The bathroom has a large, marble-walled shower.This unique home is perfectly located for mountain activities. Forest roads give easy access to hiking and biking trails in the summer. In the winter, you can enjoy cross country skiing, sledding and snowshoeing or ski at Sipapu (20 min drive), Taos Ski Valley(45 min drive) or Angel Fire(45 min drive). The house is 10 minutes from the intersection of HWY 518 and HWY 68 so it is an easy drive into either Taos or Ranchos de Taos for shopping and sightseeing. You'll enjoy exploring art galleries, shops, museums and restaurants. The Rio Grande Gorge Bridge offers a bird's eye view of the river far below--but hold the railing if you are afraid of heights! Local companies offer hot air balloon rides and rafting trips along the Rio Grande. Plan on visiting the Taos Pueblo, a World Heritage Site. Casita Santos is located on the scenic high road between Santa Fe and Taos. You will be thrilled by the magnificent vistas unfolding before you as you take this drive. You'll want to stop at the historic adobe churches along the way and you must stop to visit the Sanctuario de Chimayo in Chimayo. Chimayo is also a perfect stop for lunch at the Ranchos de Chimayo Restaurante. Relaxation and peace may be the most wonderful opportunities this home offers. May rent this in combination with our listing #470527

Reviews
Wonderful!
4.8/5 -
(6 traveler reviews)
A great place to relax!! Lots of added touches that make this a great place to escape to!
Clean, extra comfy and well maintained property. Private location and back patio area are perfect in design and a place to unwind.
Everything was exactly what I was told it would be! No hidden surprises!
Very beautiful and clean casita about 6 miles from Taos. The owners made this an easy experience and we were pleasantly surprised how nice the property is! So clean and upkept very well! I would recommend this property to anyone headed to Taos or Santa Fe.
Thank you!!
Great Home!
The casita was great. It has a very open living/dining area and nice furnishings. The kitchen is also well equipped. We had a great weekend skiing and this home is very convenient to Sipapu. It also works well with the main house if you have a larger party. We look forward to staying here again in the future.
Cozy Casita
Our family took a spur of the moment trip to check out the New Mexico skiing. The casita was absolutely lovely. It was built with updated finishes and was just perfect. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything one would need to cook meals. My kids are picky when it comes to food so that was great for us. It is a guest house to a bigger residence on the property which I hadn't realized but wasn't an issue at all. We especially enjoyed the fireplaces and we liked being a little outside of Taos village as it was pretty crowded. It didn't have a washer/dryer which would have been nice but our stay was 4 days so it worked out. Beverly was very helpful with suggestions of what to do and where to eat. We were even able to text her when we had an issue with wifi and she responded immediately. I would definitely recommend the casita.
Excellent!!
Everything was absolutely perfect! We enjoyed coffee in the mornings on the back patio and the hot tub in the evenings. Town was very close by, so we could go shopping and site seeing whenever. This cabin was a perfect get away and very homie!:)
What a Wonderful place
What to say about this Casita? When we were looking at the pics and description it sounded wonderful but no reviews made us a bit leery. Knowing how we felt I think it’s important to write a review.
I can say without a doubt this is a great place. We live in Dallas and the drive out was pretty easy. The Casita itself is right off hwy 518 and just a couple hundred feet past SMU Fort Burgwin (easy to find Fort Burgwin in Google Maps).
The Casita is massive compared to any hotel suite you would ever stay in. The great room is huge with a couple couches, dining table, another sitting table, TV and really cool fire place. The kitchen is well appointed with pretty much everything you have at home. The master bedroom and bath are both nice sized and easy for two people to share. Finally there’s the back private garden area with a couple lounge chairs, table and chairs and most important a private Jacuzzi. The Jacuzzi worked very well and appears to be brand new. There is a 5 ft stone fence surrounding the garden so you have complete privacy.
So that’s the basics. What hasn’t been described is just how beautiful and well done they made this Casita. The fit and finish of the building itself is very nice. Huge wood beams in the family room. Really nice looking granite in the kitchen and bathroom. The furniture throughout appears to be handpicked and each is unique and interesting. Personal tastes and preferences vary but this place just feels like New Mexico to me and I wouldn’t change much if it was my own property.
Beverly the owner was extremely helpful with advice and tips on things to do before the trip. She even answered a few questions while we were there.
There is another Casita a little ways down the property owned by the same people. But other than a shared parking area you have no idea the other unit exists. We never once heard or saw the other guests except in the parking lot.
For the amenities, comfort, location and price I don’t think you will find a better choice in or around Taos! It really was a great place to stay while enjoying the surrounding area. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back.
