Nestled in a quiet corner of Taos, a 10 minute stroll from galleries, dining, shopping, live music and the historic plaza, Casa Encantada #3’s location along a beautiful tree lined street is considered one of the most desirable. Situated on what was original Pueblo land, this early 1900’s family compound has been transformed into a charming, intimate collection of individually owned casitas. It is the perfect escape for friends, couples and small families.
Casa Encantada is a classic adobe compound and our casita offers a stylish, art filled space. We have gathered furnishings, textiles and artifacts from our travels and proudly display art from our family collection. The Casita sleeps 2-4 people comfortably with a Queen bed including a newly purchased Serta mattress (hybrid foam/spring) and an American Leather Queen sleeper sofa (Tempur-Pedic mattress) for overflow. We offer a family-friendly unit and allow children of all ages. We are also serious dog lovers and understand the joy of traveling with your companion but prefer only 1 dog, no cats.
Guests will enjoy our casita’s authentic kiva wood-burning fireplace. You will also find two private outdoor areas, front and back. The front courtyard is perfect for a quiet breakfast or evening happy hour. The back patio provides a secluded space to soak in the hot tub and watch the stars at night. Additional amenities include a new washer and dryer, a fully equipped kitchen, Smart TV and high speed internet. In additional to the casita's close proximity to town, just around the corner is El Monte Sagrado. This 5 star resort offers a wonderful spot for fine or casual dining. A fantastic bar. And a full service spa. The grounds are spectacular. Yet another special bonus when choosing Luna Rosa at Casa Encantada!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We couldn't have been happier with this beautiful oasis in Taos. Totally quiet yet walking distance to town, the casita was immaculate and nicely furnished, with enclosed front courtyard and back patio outfitted with a hot tub! Even though the unit was a studio it felt spacious, with a well appointed kitchen, full bathroom, private bedroom area and living area with sofa and tv. Our only issues were that we couldn't get the kiva fireplace to vent properly (set off smoke detectors twice!) and ultimately gave up trying. The bathroom sink also didn't drain properly. Both easy fixes. All in all, 5 stars across the board including an outstanding management company. Thanks so much.
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The casita had a lovely location, quiet and private. It was well appointed with equipment and amount of furniture, but my problem was with the bed. The first night, my husband and I rolled to the center. We are neither one exceptionally large people and have not had this problem in other rooms. When we removed the 4 inch mattress pad the next night to try and improve sleeping, we found dried blood on the mattress--pretty gross. Furniture surfaces were mostly hard, no really comfortable lounging, inside or out. I enjoy taking a cup of coffee out to the patio and reading. No really good place to do that. The place was clean, other than aforementioned mattress, and roomy enough for 2, but I wouldn't have wanted to accommodate more than that for anything but sleeping. We only spoke to management twice and she was very nice, though we couldn't find her when we checked out and left the key under the mat. Most storage was in use for supplies, not much room for our stuff. That said, we would stay here again if we were assured a new mattress had been placed and some softer chairs were provided. If you are a big reader, bring your own book light unless you plan to read in bed or like to sit outside, as lighting is not conducive for long sessions of reading. I would recommend this place with the above reservations.

The cottage, the neighborhood, hot tub and beautiful grounds took us away from the stress of our busy lives while at the same time all conveniences were nearby. I see this place as a wonderful escape to return to over and over.
My daughter and I (and our pup) enjoyed our three day girl’s get away to Taos. Lola is a very responsive and kind host. The house was clean and cheery and the landscaping and flowers beautiful. We loved having breakfast on the front porch and watching all the beautiful birds. Overall a lovely place to stay in Taos.
This little VRBO cabin is wonderful! All the necessities in a small space - but let’s face it, only sleeping with the great outdoors and all the beauty of he area- what more do you need. The only negative and why I can’t give the full 5 stars- The hot tub (which was the #1 reason we wanted this place) never heated above 85..... meaning, our muscles from all day on the slopes- never got the relief we had hoped for?. For sure, other accommodates at the local fitness club were offered - but again, that was not really what we wanted. We will rent again- and hope for a better hot tub experience next time- otherwise PERfeCt place!
A little hard to find in the dark, but everything is as advertised.
Luna Rosa was perfect. Great location and a really comfortable space. We would definitely recommend it.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed for 3 nights - first visit to Taos. Lovely small unit, most suitable for one person. My only concern is that the property manager never made contact with me the entire time. I reached out to her later than directed (4pm when I arrived instead of by 12noon - I had no cell reception during my travel) and so never met her and never received a key to the unit. It was unlocked when I arrived. I tried to reach out again and never received any call or text. I was somewhat disturbed that I couldn't lock the unit each day, but had no other choice than to go about my day and hope everything would be there when I got home -- not good. No contact on my departure either, so I had to leave the unit unlocked. You might also want to mention that the unit doesn't have a hair dryer in its stock. Thank goodness I had brought one for other parts of my travels. Also worth mentioning that it IS a walkable distance into downtown Taos -- daytime. After dark, bring a flashlight. Other than that, lovely little casita. Just the right intro to Taos.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stay in Taos every Christmas and rented this unit last minute because the home we usually rent was sold. There were four of us (two adults and two kids) this unit is best for two people. The fold out couch was very comfortable unlike most and was great for the kids. The radiant heat is great and the unit stays the perfect temp. The kitchen was great and stocked well, perfect for cooking for two. It's too tight for four and there is not room at the small table for more than two. It's a great place to stay for two people but I would not recommend it for more. It's a classic Taos condo and I would stay there again. The bathroom sink did not drain well but that is an easy fix and the door was very difficult to lock and should be addressed. If you are staying in Taos for a few days this is a great place to stay over a hotel. I would stay there again.
