Casita Rael has its own two car parking lot. View the most beautiful sunsets from the comfort of the Dining area. Feel like taking a walk? Casita Rael is built on a two acre field of orchard grass which lends itself to walks or sometimes, making friends with a horse or cows which may pasture at the field in mid summer.

About the host
Hosted by Petra or David Rael
David and Petra are both locals to Taos. They owned a business in Taos "Dave's Custom Cycles", for over 30 years and have since closed the business. David is semi-retired, he still teaches Mathematics at the local University and Petra works with the El Prado Water and Sanitation District. Both have been and continue to be active in the Taos and surrounding communities.
Why they chose this property
Peralta Lane originally was owned by David's Grandpa and over the years he gave parts away to his children. This particular Casita sits on its own fenced property, so it is secluded yet has an open field in the back where you can see the occasional horse, cow, cat lazily eat, hunt or what not.
