Quiet cozy getaway

Quiet and cozy getaway in a perfectly appointed casita. The house was clean with plenty of space for the two of us. A lovely place to come back to and relax after a long day of skiing. Would absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful private retreat.

Not easy to find but once you do you’ll love it. Cozy and well maintained this out of the way adobe house was a beautiful private retreat. Surrounded by trees and farmland, the quiet and stars at night were amazing all the time being minuets from the plaza and stores. Loved the hot tub. We will definitely stay here again if in Taos.

So Peaceful

We enjoyed our stay at this casita. You drive down a dirt road that can stay snowy and icy after other roads have cleared because it is shaded. It is the last house down the small drive after you pass an adobe looking house on the right. The hot tub was clean, the bed is on the soft side and the bedding was all cotton and light and airy. We slept great and it was very quiet. We put the futon out and kept it out in the living room which made it very cozy. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and the Super Save in town had the best and cheapest produce and food. Very short drive to Cids and to town. Highly recommend this quaint home. The walk in tiled shower is amazing and all the floors are concrete and heated throughout the house. Quite the find and very private. Saw a shooting star while in the hot tub so great experience.

About the host

Hosted by Tara and Jean Jacques Danon

We enjoy a simple life here in Taos. We love the outdoors and spend a lot of time working in our organic veggie and flower garden. Cooking the food we grow and feeding our friends is our happiness. We have travelled all over the globe and truly understand what it takes to be a gracious host and a grateful guest. We believe its the small details that make a difference.

Why they chose this property

Taos is such a special place. A small town that has so much variety, so much to see and do, interesting mix of people and a unique quality of life that makes Taos a perfect and memorable vacation spot. Experience the big sky, the colors and light, stunning mountain views and the pueblo architecture that defines this part of the country. .

What makes this property unique

We live on the property in the main house, a 1938 original adobe nestled on a one acre property at the end of a private road. The casita is private and at the back. Every window boasts a pastoral view. Located just minutes to town but we feel miles away from everything. A rare lush, tree filled valley, with an ancient irrigation "acequia madre" running along the perimeter. We built the casita so our children and grandchildren will come and stay in comfort. And we also wish to offer the casita to vacationers to enjoy the many wonderful activities that Taos has to offer. The architecture of Taos is so interesting and unique. All the lovely and unusual interior accents, like 15 inch thick walls, soft archways and pigment colored plaster walls along with radiant floor heat - make your stay all the more pleasant. An extra generous covered porch ( called a portal in New Mexico) allows you to enjoy the outdoors in style. Our casita is oriented to receive solar gain and intentionally built to be cool in the summer and cozy warm in winter.
