Casa Carlos Authentic Historic Adobe -Walk to Plaza -Hot Tub- Mini Split A/C

This is a lovely 2 bedroom 1 bath property. Large King bedroom, 2nd bedroom with queen bed, luxurious bath with oversized shower, living room, dining room, kitchen with laundry, outdoor walled garden with hot tub, deck/patios and pond. This property is no longer pet friendly.

200 year old Casa Carlos will feature a 1 ton 12,000 BTU mini split air conditioner beginning in May 2024!

Town – 3 blocks to Taos Plaza, 18 miles to Taos Ski Valley. Easy walk to shops, restaurants and galleries. National Register of Historic Places. Professionally landscaped and enclosed yard.

Casa Carlos, dating to the early 1800s, is one of the few properties in Taos available for rental that is listed in both the National Register of Historic Places (United States Department of Interior) and the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties. The former home and studio of Charles “Carlos” Berninghaus, a noted Taos artist and son of Oscar Berninghaus, who was one of the founders of the Taos art colony in the 1920s. This beautiful example of an adobe casita was authentically restored and beautifully landscaped by its former owner, the founder of Taos’ El Monte Sagrado Resort. The interior, exterior and grounds have been carefully preserved and methodically tended to make this home a treasure for returning guests who call Casa Carlos their “home away from home”. A complete, historically sensitive renovation of all interior spaces was completed in 2020. A rare feature for a Taos vacation rental is the home’s private walled garden, which features a gorgeous pond, trickling water, shade trees, diverse and flowering plant life, visits from many beautiful varieties of birds and butterflies, and a grassy area. A private hot tub, multiple seating areas, an outdoor gas grill, and exterior lighting are also features of the garden. The current owners have refurnished the home in colonial period Mexican, Indian, Indonesian/Dutch, Romanian and California Rancho Monterey antique furnishings, as well as original art and print photography from Mexico and the Southwest.
The home features a beautiful King bedroom, and a 2nd bedroom containing a queen size bed, a mock kiva fireplace and historic charm.

The home is an easy stroll into town and Taos Plaza for meals, or utilize the home’s fully equipped modern kitchen to dine in, or grill outside and dine al fresco in the garden. The home is stocked with games, puzzles, playing cards/ poker chips, books, DVDs/movies, vinyl records and turntable, and cable/Blue Ray entertainment system for family time and relaxation in the beautifully furnished living area, which features coved viga ceilings, a kiva fireplace, and abundant natural light.

Additional architectural features include historically preserved coved and viga ceilings throughout, a gas kiva fireplace, custom ironwork, vintage Spanish Colonial lighting, radiant heated Saltillo tile floors, 3 foot thick 200 year old adobe walls, vintage and historical doors, and custom made cement tilework from San Luis Potosi, Mexico in the kitchen and bathroom.

Casa Carlos will restore your senses and “recharge your batteries” in a gorgeous and authentic home of history, character, and Northern New Mexican charm. “Nuestra casa es su casa/Our home is your home”.

Amazing place and location.
Casa Carlos was the perfect spot for my family of 3. Very easy check in and out process. Close to downtown shops and restaurants. Easy drive to Taos Ski valley. The place is exactly as pictured. Very comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub and everything Casa Carlos had to offer. We are already planning our next trip back to Taos and will definitely stay here again.

This casita is an oasis of style, comfort, and charm. Located within walking distance to all in town amenities, it's also a peaceful place to relax all on its own. Highly recommend for a couple or friends willing to share one bathroom.

Great Location
Easy access to downtown and shopping. Great character and cosy. One issue is the bed in the main bedroom. It slopes to the middle and it is very firm. If that’s your preference, then I would say it is fine. It could use another mattress and topper to make this stay an A+.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our third stay at this Taos Mexican-era adobe was something to look forward to. The proximity to the plaza, chatting with folks strolling La Loma, visiting with the neighbors met from past visits, the lush backyard, hot tub, and the spectacular interior design help make Casa Carlos feel like home in Taos.
