Such a cute and cozy adobe! We loved the layout, the beam ceilings, the extra space heaters for the bunk room really came in handy. We would certainly chose this location again, and the property manager checked in with us often to be sure we were able to access, comfortable, and then jumped right on a tiny maintenance problem. It was fantastic!

Great Place to Stay in Taos

We four active Seniors stayed here in early November. The location was perfect- within walking distance of the Plaza, but away from tourist areas so that it felt like a real neighborhood. The house is in the typical Taos style with a small enclosed yard/patio which was great for our dog.

Wonderful Stay!

We had a magical time staying at Casa Loma- there was an area on the property for every mood, time of day and type of experience - whether it was coffee in the sun in the patio or a glass of wine by the fireplace or fire pit in the the evening! Communication with the property manager was excellent and we had everything we needed for a girl’s getaway. Would definitely stay again.

Unique Properties Convenient to Taos Plaza and Large Enough for Families

Taos plaza is only about a half-mile walk from this stay. My family stayed here and the house is very unique and well-equipped. The hot tub was a fun extra. The property manager was very communicative, and check-in was easy. We would definitely stay here again.

Art & Authenticity in Taos

Wonderful art filled the home, and the layout was perfect for our family of five. Close enough to the plaza to walk in 8 minutes, and just a few minutes to a good grocery store. Property manager was personable and gave great locals’ tips to guide our five night stay.

2025 Snowboard Trip

The house was extremely comfortable and cozy. Plenty of room in the house to not be tripping over one another. We were very happy with the cleanliness of the house and property as well. Communication on checking in was top notch and made the whole process much smoother for us with no worries. Being within walking distance of the Plaza with plenty of shopping and dining options was definitely nice as well.

Best Stay in Taos

This place is a gem. Casa Joya is among my favorite vacation rentals. Location is perfect, an easy walk to the plaza and restaurants. Designed beautifully, you immediately feel welcome, the house is spacious and clean. It comes with everything you need to enjoy your stay in Taos, a fully stocked kitchen for all needs, plenty of towels and a laundry. We really loved the 2 outdoor areas in the back and the front (hottub!). We were greeted by Yavanne, who was wonderful and had great recommendations for what to do in and around Taos. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful visit to Taos!

A friend and myself came to Taos to visit a friend that lives here. The home worked out perfect for us. Plenty of room for the 2 of us and still plenty when friend came over. Although we didn't do much cooking, the kitchen is well stocked for anything you would need. Main tv area was comfy plus, there was an addition tv/den room with a sleeper sofa. Went to Santa Fe, museums, Taos plaza and had a great time. Yavanne checked in with us to make sure we got in ok and was great to work with!

About the host

Hosted by YAVANNE JARAMILLO

Host profile image
We - a family from Austria with Border Collies (dogs are welcome in the Casa) who were finding themselves in flat South Texas due to work - were dearly missing the mountains from our home country. Having read the story of Ernie Blake - the Swiss/German founder of the Taos Ski Valley, who was flying for years over Rockies to find a location which reminded him of his loved Alps - we fell in love with Taos over a few ski vacations. The combination of world class alpine skiing, excellent restaurants (Taos features among the top ski locations for foodies) and the vivid art scene became too hard to resist (that Taos is in driving distance - for our dogs - from our Texas home sealed the deal).

Why they chose this property

The house in the historic center was previously owned by an artist and writer. A lot of the art has been retained and extended by alpine touches - creating an eclectic mix of Taos history and art combined with modern comfort. The location in town and the mentioned alpine touches will make for a perfect vacation in Taos.

What makes this property unique

Whether you come here in winter and want to enjoy the hot-tub under the star filled winter sky after a long day of skiing or you enjoy the Taos spring, summer and autumn art festivals, hiking and world class food the quiet & private (fully walled-in) courtyard will provide relaxation after your adventures.
