Casita Bella -clubhous pool tennis hot tub internet stream deck patio privacy

Arroyo Seco - Los Altos - Half way between Taos, NM village and Taos Ski Valley - 8 miles either direction

Casa Bella Casita / Cabin / Guest House can be rented with or without the main house. The two Taos vacation rental homes are well separated and offer a good sense of privacy from one another. Casita Bella's tree shaded deck offers a private hot tub, outdoor dining, gas grill and is perched above the "Acequia" (a stream which is part of the famous New Mexico irrigation system - recall the novel "The Milagro Beanfield War"). In addition to the shaded and private deck is a raised flagstone patio offering extended outdoor shaded living space. Although small and cozy, Casita Bella is big on value and has become "home away from home" to many repeat guests.

Great little place near TSV
Nice little Casita perfect for 2. Murphy bed was very comfortable. Hot tub was great, but cooled off quick and struggled to recover. Great location if you are skiing at Taos Ski Valley.

Romantic Casa Bella
We were happy with our stay at Casa Bella, The community was very warm and inviting with a beautiful tub and a tennis court. Each night we had a romantic soak in the hot tub. The garage gave us a convenient way to pack for our outings.. The manager was very helpful.

Relaxing Streamside Stay
We loved the rugs in the casita and the full-sized stove and fridge in the kitchenette. The washer and dryer came in handy and the gas stove made for cozy evenings. Everything we needed was there. The best part is the little deck over the stream under the beautiful trees. The neighbors are friendly and the subdivision is very quiet. The caretaker is super nice and very responsive. If you're a skier the casita is only a short drive from the ski mountain. We needed a place that took dogs and this was perfect.

It was a great location for access to the trails of the mountains. After a strenuous hike to Wheeler Peak tramping through snow, the HOT TUB felt fabulous!

Clean, Convenient Location
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was not able to connect to the provided internet connection throughout my stay--very disappointing. Maybe I missed it in the property description, but the bed folds out of the wall, I was expecting an actual bed. Also, a few basics like a kettle and spatula weren't to be found. Location does not provide a view of the mountains, but is nestled next to a cute stream. This is a good place to stay if you're not planning to spend much time at the house, but are rather out and about exploring Taos.

Review of Casita Bella
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is beautiful and is in a quiet neighborhood. There are no good restaurants in Arroyo Seco which means one must drive 20 minutes to Taos. This vacation rental needs some maintenance i.e. painting, window seals, etc. The refrigerator is very old and runs all night and often with a loud click. The only window in the studio cannot be opened as there is no screen so getting some fresh air was not possible. One of the floor lamps is broken as is one of the kitchen chairs.We slept on the couch after the first night as the Murphy bed left us both with sore backs and neither of us typically have back problems. The front door (French doors) has no latch in the bottom door jam so one swift kick would open the doors unlocked or not. Past the foyer where the laundry facilities are has another set of French doors leading to the studio apartment. Those doors do not lock and have the same problem as the outer French doors as far as anything to secure them at the threshold.Finally the TV would not work. We called the caretaker and she came right over with a handyman but he was unable to figure out what was wrong. We were there for 4 nights with no TV. Additionally the TV remote control was so crusted with food (I hope) that the buttons would not register when pushed.I would like to add that the casita also needs a good cleaning. The inside window sills had dead bugs and dirt as well as chipped paint.
