Casitas Encantadas - Charming home with Hot Tub in Taos

The utterly charming, light-filled, double adobe walled house has been updated with hard-troweled plaster throughout, a modern kitchen, gas fireplace, refinished wood floors, air conditioning, high-speed WiFi and a wonderful flagstone patio facing Taos Mountain and the incomparable Sangre de Cristo cordillera.

The property sits on nearly .5 acres, is walled/fenced for privacy offering plenty of room for family barbecues/games, and borders the Rio Fernando, which flows magically during Spring run-off and into the summer and an historic acequia (irrigation ditch) winding through the property that flows intermittently during spring/summer. Experience a classic Taos property in a fantastic location!

Quiet and Cozy Stay

Casitas Encantadas exceeded our expectations. For our family it was the perfect in town retreat, convenient while also feeling very secluded. Rustic aesthetic, yet very well appointed and nicely maintained. We were thrilled to stay there!

Lovely home and casita

Private and cozy with plenty of space. Well appointed with nice furnishings. The hot tub on the back deck was amazing. Master bed was too soft for our liking. Property manager was responsive and kind.

Everything we needed for a restful stay in Taos. Close enough to town center but removed from the traffic. Lovely New Mexico art throughout the home.

Nice house close to Taos and trails

We had a nice time visiting Taos. We enjoyed the town, restaurants, and especially the trails. There were great trails 1.5 miles down the road. And Wendy was great to deal with!

Lovely place

The feeling of old New Mexico…the house is very comfortable and cozy, the property and surrounding area quiet and feels fairly secluded in spite of the proximity to the plaza. Amazing place to spend a quiet few days to relax and explore Taos. Would love to return soon!

Enchanting Abode - Needs New Mattress

This wonderful casita sits in a quiet area with easy access to main travel routes and "downtown" Taos. The house holds many unique artistic touches, and the view of Pueblo Peak from the hot tub is marvelous. While the home is charming, the master bedroom mattress is decrepit and in desperate need of replacement.

Historic Casita

The house lived up to it's name. We enjoyed the decor and ambiance. It was comfortable and had all of the necessities for an enjoyable stay. The hot tub was a special bonus. It was great!!! A very relaxing way to end a day of hiking.

April Taos Trip

The house was very charming and cozy, we enjoyed the backyard and hot tub. The mattress may need to be replaced, it was not very supportive, in my opinion. Great location, quiet neighborhood and the gas fireplaces heated the house nicely.

Good Stay

This is an eclectic old Mexican casita that has been semi remodeled, but still retains the Mexican charm. The a/c is only in the den and there are multiple fans in the rest of the home. The furniture and decor was a unique mix, but we really enjoyed it and fit the house. Cons: The lighting in the updated bath is very dim and you have to shower in almost complete darkness. The rug in the bedroom belongs outside to remove mud from your shoes. It is rough and hurts your feet to walk on it. Not for the mobility challenged. There are multiple levels of floors due to remodeling and there are stairs to the bathroom. Pros: Off-street parking is great. The house was clean and quiet (barking dogs at times) Comfy bed with plenty of extra linens Great WiFi and TV programming The patio is very large and is covered with a nice pergola and has a huge yard that was perfect for our dog. Thanks to our property manager, Wendy, for her quick response to a couple of issues.
