Wonderful home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this very comfortable and lovely home. Everything we needed was there - this was the best-stocked VRBO we've ever stayed in. Thank you to the owners! 10 minute walk to the Plaza, llama farm down the road, very cute. Private garden and pretty yard, though the patio space was due for some gardening and dusting. We would definitely stay here again!

Had a great time

The property was gorgeous. We had a great stay. Met Bill. Super friendly. House was fully stocked with toiletry items and kitchen supplies. Fireplace was amazing. And the courtyard was stunning. We had a fantastic time walking into town, as the house was super close to the shopping area of town. Overall great time.

Lovely place for small family

My husband, 2 year old daughter and I stayed for a long weekend trip. The host was so nice, and the place was perfect for us. We loved having the dining area and cute backyard. It is close enough to town to make trips feel easy and accessible, and we loved seeing the llamas next door!

Taos Jewel

This architect-designed guesthouse exceeded our expectations and was well-appointed. I greatly appreciated all the detail and character of the house. We have stayed at a number of properties with VRBO over the years and this one was one of the best! I enjoy cooking and our stay was over Thanksgiving break. All that was needed to prepare a Thanksgiving meal was provided in the kitchen. The comfortably sized Dining Room with surrounding large windows made for a cheerful and comfortable place to eat, gather, work puzzles and play board games. Added comforts included the Kiva fireplace, the collection of colorful artwork throughout the house, the reading niche, stereo system, bedroom desk/workspace and book collection. I'm an architect in Texas and grew up in New Mexico, so I thoroughly enjoyed some downtime perusing many of the southwestern subject matter books. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, privacy, solace and sunny patio during the day. At night, my husband enjoyed the clear night skies and amazing stargazing opportunities. His only observation was that the bright motion sensor-security lighting on the patio was distracting. We would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again. Just lovely.

Cozy and beautiful guest house.

What a lovely experience to be so close to town and still see the stars gleaming brightly in the night sky. The architectural details of this Adobe guest house were beautifully welcoming and calming. The in-floor heating was sheer delight as my visit occurred during a cold spell. Excursions were easy from this location. And yet, just staying in to make a good meal and explore the offerings of the guest house library was also a delight. I felt I had a real taste of Taos, only to want more. I hope this property might also be available for my next visit.

Excellent - we will return

My wife and I fell in love with this beautiful adobe casita. The floor plan is ideal for New Mexico weather, with the house wrapping around the courtyard with french doors in the master bedroom, living room, and dining room that all open to the courtyard to merge indoor and outdoor spaces into a single indoor/outdoor living space. The thick walls, high-end wood casement windows and doors, smooth curving surfaces, and quirky local artwork combine to give the house a very homey feel. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped and laid out for the serious home chef. It's location on a very quiet street combined with in-floor radiant heating and thick adobe walls made for a very quiet and cozy, relaxing environment. It is less than a 10-minute walk to the Taos Plaza with its shops, restaurants, and art galleries. We wish we could magically lift this house to our property in Colorado and make it permanently ours.

Great Vacation Property

This was a very nice property to stay in for a few days in Taos. It was actually designed by a well-known local architect, who still lives in the main house on the property. It was interesting to meet him and hear a bit about the place. The house is very nicely furnished and had absolutely everything we needed including a very well equipped kitchen. This was really important to us as we like to cook our own breakfast before we go out venturing in a new city. The collection of board games and movies was also very nice and much enjoyed by our eight year-old son. It's a nice, quiet street and the llama farm down the road was a huge hit with our son! The llamas actually came up and ate grass out of his hand! The location was extremely convenient - I don't think we ever drove more than 10 or 15 minutes to get anywhere. All in all, a very nice place to stay during our short visit to Taos. I would highly recommend this property.

Beautiful architecture, great location, and fully supplied

I highly recommend this house for those visiting Taos. The house is even nicer than in the pictures. It was very clean and you will find everything you would ever need in the kitchen. We stayed with a 5 yo and the little nook worked very well for her. We stayed in June and although the house is a short walk from the Taos square, we drove most of the time (too hot - I believe unusually hot). But we noticed that most people would walk early in the morning. The hosts are super responsive and communicate very well. Internet was down when we arrived and they were immediately on the phone with the provider and solved it promptly.

About the host

Hosted by Page Rosenberg

The Casa is my 2nd home. I live in Los Angeles and Bill and Nancy live in the "Big House" on the property year round. Bill moved to Taos from Marin County 20+ years ago and is the architect who designed both the homes. The Guest House was built to host our family and grandchildren, hence its name Casa de Las Abuelas - House of the Grandmothers. We have spent many years convening at the Casa to enjoy Taos, surrounding by its comforting abobe walls. The Casa is a special place!
