Gorgeous views

I had the most relaxing stay here. The views are spectacular anytime of day, but i especially loved the sunrise/sunset and the night sky was amazing. Great walks that smell of sage from the property. The bed was comfy and the hosts were lovely. I wholeheartedly recommend.

Wonderful stay!

We stayed at the property for 4 nights. Tony and Janelle make the property very welcoming. Beautiful surroundings, wife love it. Enjoyed looking at the sky at night time and having a cup of coffee in the mornings outside in the patio. Would definitely use again when in Taos.

Favorite stay we’ve ever had!!

my mom and I were in Taos for the weekend and got to stay at Janelle and Tony’s sweet Casita. It was one of the best stays we’ve ever had with VRBO! The space was perfect, clean and airy and so much room for the two of us. It was the most quiet location we could have asked for while still being close to town, incredible views of the mountains and lots of outdoor seating for us to sit in the sunshine and read or drink our morning coffee. The bed was super comfortable and the unit was well supplied with everything we needed. Janelle and Tony were incredible hosts and so welcoming — I am already planning my stay to go visit them again! Absolutely loved everything about this experience, if you’re considering staying here… do it!!
