Casita Blanca - Work from home close to adventure

This place is perfect for a couple or family hoping to spend time in the peaceful, inspiring landscape of Taos, New Mexico. A beautiful queen bedroom with mountain views and ensuite bath will invite you for a relaxing night's sleep after a day enjoying all that Taos has to offer. A roomy open concept kitchen, dining and living space will make your crew cozy and keep entertaining fun for everyone. The livingroom has huge picture windowswhich can be shaded for privacy, or open to the full splendor of the view, and a 40 Smart TV with sound system, Roku, DVD player. Home is on 2 acres, with permanently protected Pueblo land to the north, and just a few lovely neighbors on either side with plenty of buffer. The second bedroom offers sleeping accomodation for two more adults or children on twin beds, or can be used as a work space separate from the living space. The second Bedroom has close acces to the other full bath. Full size washer and dryer are located inside the home. The interior is perfectly sized for a party of 4, but it is the outdoor spaces that make this home feel palacial. Back patio, accessed from the kithchen opens to a fenced yard, offers seating and table space, outdoor grill, and the sounds of songbirds and windchimes to accompany the beautiful views. Front courtyard offers blossoming spring fruit trees and bulb garden and yet another private space. There is no road sound here, and very little light polution, expect pitch darkness here on moonless nights. There are mature shade trees on the property which is a huge plus. If you have furry family members, we welcome them here for an additional pet cleaning fee, and they will enjoy the safety and freedom of a fully fenced area where you can throw the ball for them while enjoying the back patio.

Situated about 15 minutes from the town center and Taos Pueblo, and about 25 minutes from Taos Ski Valley, you're close enough to enjoy town conveniences and cultural excursions, but far enough away to enjoy the iconic peaceful quiet setting Taos is known for. This home has all the views, the back patio faces the Sangre de Cristo mountains north of Taos, while the living room faces Picuris peak and the town of Taos, and to the west you can see the volcanic formations of the Taos Plateau. Both the Sunrise and Sunset shows are not-to-be-missed from this location. You're just minutes from the famous Rio Grande Gorge Bridge and Rio Grande Gorge area recreation opportunities.

Although this location is a little outside the town center, there is a gas station at the junction of 522/64, and an amazing little Mexican restaurant called Toribios. Just up Ski Valley Road (Highway 150 at that same main junction) there is a brand New Ace Hardware going in, and a fantastic local pizza joint called Pizaños. Great dining, bar, and package liquor is available at Medley restaurant and wine shop just a few yards further north of Pizaños. The Village of Arroyo Seco, about 10 minutes from the home, offers Sol Food natural food market, and café/bakery options, Wake + Take Vegan Café (even if you're not vegan this is GREAT food and fresh juice/smoothies), Aceq restaurant and Sabroso restaurant plus some tremendous locally owned shops and galleries. Check out http://secolive.org for info on this quaint and charming little mountain village and everything it has to offer. If you head the other direction back to the west on HWY64, you will find the Taos Mesa Brewing Mothership where they serve great house made beer and food and have live music nightly most of the year and offer a great outdoor space for large parties and events. 

Visitors flock to Taos for many reasons, but none quite so alluring these days as the incredible recreational opportunities. Multiple points of access for world class hiking, fishing, skiing, biking, etc. exist throughout Taos, Taos Ski Valley, and the Taos Plateau. There are countless places to explore within an hour's drive making this a wonderful point to come home to work in comfort and embark on day or weekend trips to some of the most amazing, pristine places in the Southwest. If you're an adventurer please get in touch with our team to help plan your trip with a local expert. We can connect you with all the local resources you need to have the trip of a lifetime.

    We will be back. There is no way photos can do this property justice. It was heaven and exactly the quiet with dramatic views that we needed. The proximity to the best Taos has to offer was perfect. Clean, our dog loved it and the kitchen was so well stocked with anything we needed for a gourmet meal at home. My husband said this was the best stay ever. Thank you!

    Very relaxing and the location was great for us. Needs a little work in the bathroom. The faucets were loose. The house could have a little more curb appeal. That big crack in the floor was a surprise and I wondered if I payed more than it is worth. But the location was beautiful.

    The host/managers were great! Very communicative! The location/view is awesome! The neighborhood is very quiet - I was able to walk the dogs 2x/day down the road and hardly ever saw anybody. Just very very quiet out there, beautiful. The house itself could use a little upkeep - missing an outlet cover, the door to the backyard had its trim piece fallen off, dragging on the tile floor (we had to duct tape it back in place), just some little things like that. Generally really good condition, though. The gas grill worked great, the views are STUNNING, and again, just really quiet and a relaxing time. Highly recommend.

    This casita is located a little further out than we expected but well worth the views, privacy and quiet. 2.19 miles off of the pavement. The heating and cooling is natural, fire place in living room and bedroom, plenty of wood provided. fans are available, We were comfortable the whole time, May 15th. Might be a little warm in July and cold in January. Do your best to protect the furniture and pick up after your pet so as not to spoil the experience for others.We did have one lock out issue because of a weak battery, Kat, the manager solved our problem immediately and was very kind. Thank you!

    Beautiful home with tranquility. Very private back porch/yard with a stunning Mountain View. Comfortable beds with spacious bedrooms. The solitude was exactly what we were looking for in this location. Easy to walk our dog along the gravel road.

    Nice property. Well decorated. Great views!We did lose our small dog a couple of times, in the sage brush, in the back yard. Luckily, the yard is fully fenced so we eventually found her.The property managers stayed on top of things during our entire visit by texting/emailing us once/twice daily with rental-rule reminders, check-out reminders and notice of when they would enter the property to replace a previously broken television.A few housekeeping instructions before check-out included washing dishes, emptying trash cans, starting laundry and taking large trash bin to curb for weekly pick up. Additionally, a couple of cleanliness issues were mentioned to the property management company. Though we have not heard back from them, we hope all of these steps will at lease make the visit for the next renters a little more comfortable!

    We absolutely loved this property. It was a beautiful home with everything you could need as a home base or just hanging around the house to relax or watch the gorgeous sunsets. The views were amazing from both inside and out.
