Another great visit at Casa Nido!
What a treat - always great to visit this sweet spot in Taos and had our best ski days of the season nearby at Taos Ski Valley. The hot tub apres ski & restaurants nearby make life easy. We will definitely be back!

Perfect mountain getaway
Nice tucked away mountain home for rest and relaxation. We enjoyed the hot tub and roasting s'mores on the chiminea after hiking. This is exactly what we needed to recharge!

Wonderful getaway
What a lovely house for a getaway. We needed a few days out of the city and had the most enjoyable stay at this house. The kitchen was very well appointed, the house was very comfortable and the hot tub was perfect! I would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful, Private Home!
We loved our stay at Casa Nido! The home and yard were both beautiful and the space was very comfortable. Loved the amount of spaces to relax and hang out around the home. We watched an incredible lightning storm in the mountains from the patio. The location was perfect!

Great outdoor space
The inside is nice too but the outdoor areas are the best part -- shaded seating and dining table, fireplace with seating, hot tub, and the view of the mountains. Sited at the foot of Blueberry Hill, the location is quiet and yet convenient to town and also to Arroyo Seco. This was our 5th visit to Taos in the past 8 yrs and we would rate this house first of the 4 houses we have rented.

Taos Ski Getaway
Home was very well appointed, clean and modern. Perfect size for two couples and an incredible mountain view from the hot tub after a day on the slopes. Great El Prado location just north and convenient to Taos and a 30 minute drive to the Ski Valley. The ski valley is nice but small and we prefer to stay closer to town where there are more food options. Casa Nido was a great find and we would definitely stay there again.

Perfect getaway
This rental exceeded our expectations. It was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The decor was beautiful but also very comfortable. Hot tub was great after a day of exploring with nice mountain views and lots of stars out on clear nights. Only about 20 mins to the ski valley and very close to all Taos activities. We loved how dog friendly the house and town was. Entire yard is fenced for pups. We would recommend this rental and hope to return ourselves one day!

Beautiful property near Taos
This was a great place for our family to stay. It has lots of natural light with a great view of the mountains. Lots of outdoor seating areas to take in the views. The hot tub and chimenea were easy to use. The kitchen is small and not really set up for real cooking, but nicely equipped otherwise. The house is just a few minutes from Taos proper and a short drive to the ski valley and Rio Grande Gorge. We would definitely stay here again.

Insta Worthy Stay
The atmosphere, decor & over all vibe of this property was absolutely 5 stars. It made me feel like we were in a private casita in an upscale resort hotel. Tons of natural light and had a very open/airy feel to the whole home. The kitchenware was top notch - it was really nice cooking with solid pots and pans and having very nice cutlery, glasses and plates to use during our stay. The outside area was well equipped with places to lounge around drink coffee, read a book or watch the sunset. Enjoyed seeing little friends like bunnies hop around at dusk. I liked that this was located a little outside of town so we were not caught in the traffic from town center but not too far away that it felt like a pain to drive to get coffee. One thing that made this stay frustrating was the lack of air conditioning. There is a stand alone mobile unit that’s connected to the entry room to move out the hot air & blow in some cool air but that only cooled the living area. They unit that can be plugged into the master bedroom just blew out air like a fan and did very little to cool the area down. Obviously we traveled in the height of summer but leaving the windows open at night in an area that my husband and I do not know very well did make us very uncomfortable. It was over all a nice stay & I did like the turn table that we could connect our Bluetooth to and listen to music throughout the day.

Casa Nido is hands down my favorite VRBO home.
Casa Nido is hands down my favorite VRBO home. The property is beautiful, inside and out, with every necessity taking care of, and so many thoughtful benefits like the turntable with vinyl, the skylight in the main bedroom, the KitchenAid mixer, the brand new washer and dryer, bathrobes and flip-flops for the hot tub, and a wine refrigerator. The exterior grounds are spacious, quiet, and beautifully landscaped. The interior is new and has many tasteful touches. Then there are the main attractions: a wonderful view of the Taos mountains, sitting by a chimnea fire and watching the stars, and sitting in a wonderful hot tub and looking at the mountains or the stars. I highly recommend Casa Nido and would go back in a heartbeat. I can think of only two very minor complaints. First, the electric fireplace is the only heat source for the house and it is on the opposite side of the main bedroom. There is a space heater right by the main bed to address that which we didn't use, however there is an easier solution if you are willing to keep the bedroom door open to let the heat in. Second, the price advertised was artificially low and the final cost at checkout was much higher because of the highest fees I have ever seen. That was very annoying and stopped me from immediately reserving the property, but in the end the total cost was close to other comparable properties in the area.

Lovely home in El Prado near Taos
This is one of the most well-appointed VRBOs I’ve stayed in. Thoughtful touches and amenities, comfy beds, washer/dryer, hot tub stargazing, pantry staples, ample space, and a fenced yard for your pooch. Beautiful desert and Mountain views!

Loved Casa Nido!
Great modern and stylish adobe home with amazing mountain views. Less than a half hour drive to the ski valley and a short drive to the plaza and awesome local restaurants. We loved sitting by the fire in the evening watching the sunset and the hot tub was so relaxing after a day on the slopes. The kitchen was great and the studio/work space was a great bonus for my remote work day. Truly a gem with the best New Mexico vibes. We’ll be back!
