Casa de Rufina
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Welcome to Casa de Rufina! Extensively remodeled in 2020 and full of your favorite amenities, this beautiful Arroyo Seco home boasts sweeping views of El Salto Mountain and Canyon. Ideal for your next family vacation, this lovely home is located mere minutes away from the quaint town of Arroyo Seco. When you aren't exploring the town's eateries, check out the Millicent Rogers Museum, Kit Carson Park, Taos Country Club, and the Taos Art Museum at Fechin House. Further up the road, winter recreation can be indulged in at Sipapu Ski & Summer Resort, as well as, at Angel Fire Resort.
Uniquely beautiful, the interior of Casa De Rufina features wood finishes, comfortable furnishings, and carefully curated mementos. Stretch out and enjoy your favorite shows on the living room's Smart TV. Or, whip up delicious dishes amidst the kitchen's stainless steel appliances, gleaming countertops, and center island. A gas grill is also available outside if you'd prefer to barbecue.
Your own haven of peace, the primary bedroom has excellent perks like a jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower, and in-room fireplace. The additional rooms are just as cozy with their soft linens and pops of color. Also inside, you'll find a private washer/dryer, board games, and internet access.
As the sun begins to fall over the mountains beyond, head outside, gather around the firepit, and watch the sunset's orange, pink, and yellow hues flood the sky.
