About Maura Rae
I've lived in many states and even lived abroad, but the beauty and magic of Northern New Mexico keeps drawing me back. I'm currently writing my first novel and I'm inspired by the diverse community of artists and writers here. I enjoy hiking, museums, film, dining, live music, dancing, cooking and gardening. I hope to make your stay relaxing and memorable.
Maura Rae purchased this Apartment in 2015
Why Maura Rae chose El Prado
This newly remodeled apartment is close to town and Taos Ski Valley, yet off the beaten path in a retreat like setting. You’ll love my place because of the location, the outdoors space, and the ambiance. The property borders Pueblo Indian Land offering stunning panoramic views of the entire Taos Valley. My place is ideal for couples, solo adventurers, artists and writers. Taos is a destination rich in culture and also great for recreation like skiing, hiking, biking, and rafting.

We had a very enjoyable stay at this cozy studio. We even managed to make a small meal on the two burner stove. Loved the large bathroom and comfy bed. The decor is way above average, which is always a nice surprise. Location is great for those who like being a bit away from the crowds. We would definitely stay again if we make it back to Taos.

The apartment was perfectly located, close to town, yet, quiet and peaceful. The outside pergola was a perfect place to enjoy morning coffee and evening sunsets. The apartment was impeccably clean and well stocked. We hated to leave!

It was everything we had hoped for. This place is very comfortable. It is a couple of miles from town but that was one of the things we liked most. No traffic, no noise, just peace and quiet. Beautifully done. Look forward to staying at this property again.

A wonderful place to relax after vacationing all day. A very special setting-peaceful, with a beautiful garden and expansive views. The casita itself is very well furnished and decorated. Sparkling clean. Truely a home away from home.

Loved the beam ceilings and skylight in the bathroom. Loved sleeping with windows open. The bed was so comfortable! The outdoor sitting area overlooks the mountains and the town of Taos. The first night we watched a rain storm with lightning pass through the mountains. We drank our coffee in the morning and just enjoyed the peace.
Maura Rae was lovely and available if necessary but we didn’t need anything.
I would highly recommend this for a romantic getaway!
