Steam Shower Hot Tub-Fabulous Views! In & Out Fireplaces-Free Wood-444+ reviews!

Casita Ave Maria was truly magical. The views, the hot tub, the indoor fireplace.. it was all amazing and we can't wait to come back!

All aspects of our experience were exceptional. This is a first class accommodation in a beautiful and “enchanting”location. The owners treat you like a friend.

This home is so special all the right ways: warm, serene, comfortable in all the right ways. We spent our evenings soaking in the hot tub under a star-filled sky. We ended a couple of our evenings by a crackling fire in the kiva fireplace. When we weren't out exploring Tais, we found great comfort lounging and unwinding in the casita. Dave and Tammi created something truly restorative here. We're already talking about coming back.Specific notes about the property: The property is clean and beautifully decorated. The hot tub was very clean and warm, and the steam shower was relaxing. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the cookware and utensils you'll need for some home-cooked meals in the casita. Lots and lots of towels and extra blankets for chilly nights. We were supplied with enough firewood for 3-4 evenings worth of fires in the kiva.

Everything here was even better than described. It was so welcoming and relaxing with an amazing location with the beauty of nature everywhere you looked. Absolutely recommend.

Such a lovely place. Everything was perfect. We’ll be back!

Hot tub was great, very clean

We had a fabulous time at the top of the canyon in our very homey New Mexico lodge It was close to all of our hikes and even had great books to help us find the next adventure. The fireplaces outside and inside were put to use each night and plenty of firewood to keep is warm. That warmth let us view the sunset each night. We took our dog and it was perfect because he was in our “yard” when we closed the gate. Thank you for such a nice setting. I expect us returning to this place to see another season.

The place is amazing!

The home was wonderful, very clean. The huge outdoor area and hot tub were amazing. Very calming!

This property is beautiful, inside and out! The views are spectacular, including the many hummingbirds that hang around. The casita has everything you need and more. A really wonderful experience!

This beautiful little property exceeded our expectations. The views from the property are breathtaking, we enjoyed watching the hummingbirds all day & the colorful sunsets at night.We relaxed in the massive hot tub & the steam shower was a bonus pleasure.Tammi & Dave are the perfect hosts showcasing their gem of a property.

The property was absolutely stunning! The view was fantastic, and it felt very private. It rained the evenings we were there, so we did not get to enjoy the hot tub or get a good look at the stars, but I have no doubt it would have been incredible. The host was great! I wanted to enjoy some hot coffee on the cool porch my first morning, but there was no creamer provided with the coffee supplies, but they saved the day and brought over some half n half. The communication leading up to the stay felt a little overwhelming. The same (quite lengthy) message was sent 4 times the day before our stay, detailing rules. I wish that were a little streamlined. Overall, it was a very pleasant and peaceful stay, and I would absolutely stay there again!

Had an EXCELLENT experience in Taos. Views and lodging were amazing. The bird in the picture is a hummingbird! There were several that made their presence known during our stay. Could not recommend this place enough.

We stayed at this beautiful casita for 9 nights in May. Listened to new birds, saw new stars and satellites and tripped into Taos and Arroyo Seco for great art and food. This casita was full of interesting and unusual art and relevant books. Also the kitchen was a cooks dream. The pantry even contained most of the basic supplies and spices we needed to make green pozole! Our hosts were extremely responsive to the few questions we had. Although we didn't use the hot tub it did look supremely inviting! Our only issue was the altitude, making us huff and puff with the slightest exertion (we normally live at 900' above sea level, as well we are in our late 60's). Clearly our hosts couldn't remedy these issues! We especially loved the semi-isolation of this house! While the grocery market was only about 10 minutes away and Arroyo Seco maybe 15, the stars were clear, birds interesting and coyotes melodious! Next time we're in Taos we will try to stay here again!!

Definitely recommend. Private, safe, great views, comfortable bed, nice amenities, and awesome layout. We had to motivate to leave the place each day to explore the area. Dog loved hanging out on the deck, she never barked because it's so private and peaceful. Immediate responses from owners throughout. Overall a great weekend spent celebrating our Anniversary.

This is a very cozy place that is perfect for a couple on an extended stay. It had the best appointed kitchen of any VRBO that I have ever stayed. The bathroom is modern and in excellent condition. The hot tub is lovely with views overlooking the mesa, and with hummingbirds flittering about. The space was big enough to not feel cramped, but still small enough to feel intimate. And the location is great, about two miles off the main road. So it was quiet, but still very accessible (about 15 minutes north of town).

Loved the deck, the hot tiub and steam shower. Everything was so cozy and clean. Bed was super comfortable!

Hot tub was well maintained along with the premises. We were told not to use the outside fireplace in a communication from the owner but after the time we could cancel the reservation. That was not a big problem but probably should have given us notice or allowed cancellation. But After first night we were not allowed to use the indoor fireplace due to red flag warning. I would not recommend this property when taking the cost and the location but that’s just my opinion.

I cannot say enough about our stay at the casita. Tammi has outfitted it with everything you would need. She is extremely responsive and genuinely wants her guests to enjoy their stay. This is our 2nd time staying here and we did not hesitate. Thank you again for incredible memories.

The casita was exactly as described, and even better! It had beautiful views, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, a fine hot tub that was good and warm at 20 degrees, and a snow event. The owner answered every text and message promptly and even volunteered to find us some help when our vehicle broke down! The location is perfectly between Taos and Red River, with no city lights or traffic. Taos-proper is only 10-15 minutes away, and there is a decent convenience store/restaurant 5 minutes down the road for items you forgot. We will definitely recommend this great place and will return when possible.

My husband and I had a lovely two-night stay at Casita Ave Maria. The space was warm and welcoming. Well-appointed with many comforts and luxuries. We enjoyed the hot tub and great views.

It was one of my favorite places I have ever stayed. Loved the outdoor space as well. The only 2 things that were not perfect is the barking dogs and some of the dishes/silverware had to be washed before using. Clean, all items for our use were in good condition. Bed was very comfortable. I would stay here again I. A heartbeat

We just wanted peace during the election results and to cook a nice meal, relax, enjoy nature, and prepare for reentry. This place was fantastic for that. Other than a few cobwebs, and dishes being washed by the last tenants (always a little creepy and not so effective) the place was very clean. When they say starter wood - we thought they meant kindling but really, they provide a lot of wood for the fireplace. The linens - both the towels and the sheets were very high quality.

The house was more beautiful than the pictures had portrayed. It was stocked with all the comforts of home. The view was spectacular. Sunrise and sunsets were special events.. The property is only a few miles from Taos Ski Resort, downtown Taos and shopping, The Rio Grande Gorge, also Arroyo Seco. Tammi was so attentive to our needs. It was the perfect place to celebrate our 30th anniversary! We hope to return someday soon.

I can’t say enough great things about this property, from the views to the amenities. We felt at home and had all our little luxuries needed for a fabulous stay. The owner was quick to communicate with and provided great local ideas for dinners, groceries, etc. if you are in the Taos area this is a must stay place for a quiet remote stay. The stars and silence around is amazing. Thanks again

This rental is wonderful. Everything was just as described and pictured. It was very clean and well stocked with essentials, towels, etc. Communication with the host was excellent before, during and after. They gave wonderful directions and recommendations. The rental is private with wonderful views and sunsets. The hot tub and hummingbirds were a treat. We highly recommend it and would not hesitate to rent it again.

This is by far the most wonderful place we’ve ever stayed! The attention to detail- and to beauty and coziness was just perfect. It’s a special place, made with such love and intention. We especially appreciated the fully stocked kitchen, plethora of interesting books, the steam shower, hand painted rocks with messages of inspiration - and of course the hot tub with a stunning view!
