La Casita - a writer's cottage

Lovely private coachhouse/casita in a beautiful setting. Peaceful and quiet with only the occasional bray from a local donkey that added some late-afternoon charm. The unit has nice amenities - very comfortable bed and a well stocked kitchen. Great morning an afternoon light with a pleasant little walk around the property and a in-depth guide to local hikes. Convenient to both Taos, Arroyo Seco and the ski area.

I’ve stayed here before. Very nice property. Really like the location. Notes are nice. Property has everything I would need. Can’t think of anything that wasn’t great.

Our original hotel overbooked even though we had a reservation on a trip to go skiing in Taos. We needed a quick pivot for our stay and my husband found this. The property and casita was well kept with easy access and lovely views. Communication with the host was excellent and timely. I will say one of the most unique and awesome parts of our stay was seeing and meeting the animals that live in the pasture. My kids and I sat at the fence edge the first day for a full 20 minutes just watching them in the pasture. We even got to meet Ceasar the Yak the second day! If you are looking for a quiet spot that has easy access to the mountain or downtown its a great option. You are also very close to Taos Cow which has amazing ice cream and breakfast.

What a great place! Very private and clean cottage. I was very happy with my choice to stay in this serene and peaceful setting.My host was wonderful. He was responsive and prompt in our communications.

I stayed for six nights and David and Kris’s delightful, nicely equipped little apartment above their garage. The location is idyllic and so peaceful. I loved sitting on the balcony and watching the sun rise over Taos Mountain and then set down in the valley. The views are magnificent. It’s an easy rural walk down to Arroyo Seco. And an equally convenient drive into Taos. I loved every moment.

We stayed 3 nights for a Presidents' day wkd ski trip. Very easty to get to and convenient arroyo seco location. Well appointed garage apartment with everything we needed for a comfortable stay conveniently located to both the town and the ski valley. We will likely be back.

The property is beautiful with the animals and the extremely friendly cats. I would recommend this for a couple or couple with a small child. It was crowded with our teenager.

Enjoyed our stay - beautiful property with so many amazing animals! David was very kind and responsive. We will be back!

As a whole “excellent”. Property and overall location was beautiful and very accessible to other areas for enjoyment. We would definitely stay here again.

La Casita is a fabulous gem of a property located just outside of Taos. Everything about this property was perfect for us. It was meticulously clean and I loved sitting on the balcony in the cool mornings. Next time I’m in Taos, I hope La Casita is available!

Beautiful secluded property within a short driving distance to all that Taos has to offer. The guest house was clean and lovely and the grounds were wonderful to stroll around and see the horses, yaks, donkeys, lamas and the two very friendly barn cats. We had a wonderful time.
