Overview
2 (or 3) Bedrooms, historic adobe & casita 3 blocks from the Plaza
Historic and centrally located Casa Rosa has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 sitting rooms, 2 courtyards and 1 kitchen . If you need a 3rd bedroom and bath, Casita de Lilas, across the courtyard is available to rent separately. Inquire for prices and availability of Lilas or search on VRBO for Listing # 693480 for full description.
Located in the very heart of Taos, Casa Rosa is just 3 blocks from the Plaza where, in the warmer months, you can dance to live music on Thursday evenings and browse the farmers market on Saturday. In the winter, leave your car in town and take the shuttle at the Plaza,, to the Ski Valley for a nominal charge. Shops, restaurants, museum and parks are just a few minutes walk from the casa and casita all seasons.
Casa Rosa has plenty of light, unusual for an historic adobe. It has 2 bedrooms, each with a king bed and traditional, beautiful fireplaces that that we fill with candles..
We've been told Casa Rosa works well for 2 couples since each bedroom adjoins a sitting room. If you have a third couple, rent Casita Lilas as well.
The two baths in Casa Rosa have Mexican hand painted tiles. One comes with a spacious shower that easily fits two, and the second has both tub and shower. The bathrooms in this historic, quirky adobe are not adjacent to the bedrooms.
The kitchen is well stocked -- make breakfast, latkes or Christmas cookies or in the summer bake an apricot tart with fresh apricots from the farmers market or cherries or apples (if you time your visit right) from the trees in the patio. Enjoy that tarte--- or breakfast or cocktails--- on one of Casa Rosa's two courtyards planted with flowers and fruit trees.
Off street, private parking for both Lilas and Rosa. One parking space per property.

About Cheryl Gibert
I'm a New Orleanian who fell in love with Taos many years ago. Taos has been our family's second home ever since.
Cheryl Gibert purchased this cottage in 2014
Why Cheryl Gibert chose New Mexico
Casa Rosa on Martyrs Lane is 3 blocks from the plaza, around the corner from Bent Street's shops and restaurants. All of Taos' urban pleasures are right outside the door and Taos's natural wonders are a short car ride away. Casa Rosa is an historic property. It oozes charm with its Mexican tiled bathrooms, thick adobe walls, adjoining courtyards and its custom iron work wrought in a forge in Questa north of Taos. Look for the iron snakes, frogs, and other garden animals on the windows amidst the iron vines twining up the bars. We simply fell in love with this charming, quirky house. We hope you will too.

Map
Because of its amazing light, Taos has always attracted artists. Gorgeous and varied wilderness surround the town, and Taosenos take full advantage by skiing, biking, hiking, fishing, birding or just sitting quietly and enjoying the quiet. Nature is very much why people come to Taos.
In town there is the farmers market and quirky and interesting shopping, museums and galleries that focus on the many artists who have been drawn to Taos as well as on the Pueblo Indians who predated all.
Taos has great antiquing and flea markets.
The festivals are numerous and varied, from the Feast Days at the Pueblo to the Hispanic Fiesta in the summer to the Wool Festival in the Fall to many art and music festivals. And don't miss the July fourth parade in Arroyo Seco. There are writers conferences and Chamber Music and Blue Grass Festivals.
Food is varied and good. Green chili or Red-- you'll have to choose at the many New Mexican restaurants in town. But there are lots of good restaurants in town to satisfy whatever you may be yearning for whether its sushi, Thai, French or Fusion or Mid Eastern, breakfast or a hamburger.
Taosenos, who are Native Americans, Hispanics, and Anglos, celebrate life.

- Casa Rosa's two baths have Mexican hand painted tiles. One comes with a spacious shower that easily fits two, and the second has both tub and shower. The bathrooms in this quirky adobe are not adjacent to the bedrooms; the kitchen and tv room or the living room come between. However, for two couples sharing the casa, there is plenty of privacy. Because the sitting room with the tv is adjacent to the north bedroom and the living room adjoins the south bedroom, each couple has, in effect, a suite. Casita de Lila's simple tiled bathroom has a toilet, shower and sink. Like the rest of the casita it is white and off white. Lilas books separately from Casa Rosa. See VRBO Listing # 693480

Super cute place, right in the middle of all the fun in Taos.
Great place, would be good for two couples, plenty of room and privacy . Would definitely stay there again.
Great place, close to the Plaza, restaurants, park. Clean and comfy.
Enjoyed our stay here.
Perfect place for our girl trip to Taos
Quaint adobe home well appointed and great location near the Plaza. Easy walking distance to farmers market, shops and dining. Two bedrooms and two living areas plus a courtyard allowed lots of room either gather or spread out. Would highly recommend
Lovely home, close to the square, very cozy and comfortable. Highly recommend!!
Incredible house located walking distance to the plaza! Cheryl provides everything you need! Took our two kids and the setup was perfect with the separate bedrooms and living spaces. Will definitely be back!
Location, location, location - and more
Nice comfy place a short walk to the Taos Plaza, but still incredibly quiet.
Plenty of room for two couples or a family - we had lots of elbow room even though there were just the two of us. Would book here again.
Perfect location cozy homey loved it
We loved the cozy homey feel of this lovely casita. We walked everywhere and loved the separate bedrooms and bathrooms for my daughter and I!
