CASA CARMELITA IS NM SAFE CERTIFIED, TRAINED IN COVID-SAFE PRACTICES

RV’s and Trailers are prohibited.

Casa Carmelita, also known as Casa Encantada #7, has plenty of charm, romance and magnetism that is tucked away in a serene setting. Casa Encantada, a classic adobe compound is situated on what was original Pueblo land. This early 1900’s family compound has been transformed into a charming, intimate collection of eleven individually owned casitas. Located one block off Kit Carson, it is an easy walk to the Plaza, 0.7 miles for shopping, galleries, restaurants, music and museums, and just moments to the El Monte Sagrado Resort and Spa.

Casa Carmelita is a classic adobe casita that opens into a beautifully landscaped, grassy shared common area with beautiful trees and a unique Totem Pole. This one bedroom gem sleeps 2 adults comfortably with a King bed (memory foam) and a Queen, Sleeper Sofa with no bars, no springs, no compromise. Guest will enjoy the large Kiva fireplace with beautiful gas logs for warm cozy nights. French doors open to the spacious private patio showcasing a bistro set with a wood-burning chiminea for a quite happy hour, then top the evening off with a relaxing soak in the hot tub. Additional amenities include, fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, microwave, dishwasher, portable air conditioner, air purifier, Roku/Smart TV with wireless Sony headphones, blu ray DVD, portable Bluetooth jam-box for music in the patio, fiber optic high speed internet, gas grill.

FYI, you will see the adobe/boxelder bugs during the warm summer weather. They are seasonal to Taos and live in the trees. They come every summer and then they leave. They will not hurt you, but can be a nuisance. They are not specific to our place, they are all over Taos. Feel free to research further to see if this is going to be an issue for you.

Dave visited Taos for the first time in 1971 on an art scholarship through his University. We hope you will enjoy his paintings that hang in the casita, some are available for purchase. Carmelita, a Registered Nurse enjoys the culinary experience of New Mexico and the Southwest.

We are excited to share Casa Carmelita with you.

    It’s even more beautiful than the photos! The wonderful neighbors were a bonus! It’s an easy walk to historic downtown Taos, but still felt like we were out in nature. Couldn’t have picked a better place!

    This place was absolutely amazing !! It's enchanting in a way !! Very private and romantic. Everything was of such quality and anything you may have needed, or forgot, this Casita had it!. The bed, the hot-tub, the towels and even bathrobes were over the top!. The art in this Casita was done by the owner and is so beautiful. We have been to Taos many times over the years and this place is, by far, the very best. !!

    Lovely casita #7 with a wonderful bed, terrific hot tub and surprisingly well stocked kitchen! Very quiet, great and private outdoor sitting area, portable chairs to sit out in the bigger yard. Thanks Carmie for being such a responsive host!

    We really enjoyed our stay here! The location was perfect- quiet and secluded but still very close to all the action in town. The patio was wonderful with the hot tub, and was the reason we chose this specific place. The bed was very comfortable. The only thing that was not perfect, was the cleanliness. It definitely was not a deal breaker, and we would still stay here again, but we would have liked to have had the patio furniture wiped down so it didn't dirty our clothes, fresher/newer towels, and less of the owner's belongings around. The storage space is lacking, so having brooms/cleaning supplies etc piled in corners is kind of necessary, but the forethought to remove old boxes from the patio and just try to organize a little more, would go a long way in the presentation and first impression of the casita!

    It was everything a Taos VRBO should be: an adobe home with vibrant decor. Located very close to the historic district it had private parking, a private courtyard, a hot tub, well gas fireplace, good water pressure with plenty of hot water and a well equipped kitchen.

    This cosy home is beautiful. Well appointed and decorated. Fully equipped kitchen and very clean. Nice, walkable neighborhood with access to art, restaurants, and museums. The hot tub, fire pit are so nice. It’s just a lovely place. Carmelita was easy to communicate with and prompt. The neighbors are so nice. And there are 2 wonderful dogs to greet you. But don’t be dissuaded. If you are not a dog person, the owners are very respectful and responsible. Loved Taos. So much to do. We hope to go back and would choose this place again. Thanks so much, Carmelita

    This was probably one of the nicest places we’ve stayed that welcomes dogs. It was spotless, well-stocked, well-appointed, quiet and convenient. The courtyard was perfect and so was the hot tub. This little place checks all the boxes! We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

    Lovely little casita walking distance to the historic district of Taos while still being tucked enough away. Such a cute home and the outdoor area was still so widely used even in winter. We'd gladly return! The art on the walls was all done by the casita owner as well which felt really homey.

    This is the third time that my husband and I have stayed here to enjoy the world class hiking trails in the area. So comfortable. Perfect location. The new hot tub is great. We hope to come back for years to come.
