Vacation Rental Description
Casita des Montes is set in the rural and quiet Arroyo Seco area, north of Taos, on the way to the Taos Ski Valley, renowned for it's challenging and scenic winter activities. As their slogan says, "Taos - another word for Steep!" The Casita is perfect for a couple or a small family with a big great room that houses the kitchen, dining and living areas. Check out the line up for Taos Solar Fest this June 30/July 1 - Lyle Lovett! July 4 weekend still available for your booking. Views from the property are magnificent, both to the east towards the rising sun and the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and to the west towards spectacular and brilliant sunsets with views of Georgia O'Keefe's recognizable Pedernal. You will see rabbits cavorting and coyotes in the open fields surrounding this fenced property. Sit on one of two "portals" to watch either the sun rise or set. Listen to the birds or to the silence. Bring the kids! And bring the pooch! Walk the dog on 5 fenced acres. We welcome you and your entire family to our charming Casita filled with original art and antique furnishings from local arists and from around the world. We keep our rates low but offer full amentities to make it affordable, comfortable and inviting for the whole family, yet provide an intimate, quiet and peacful setting for one or two. The Casita provides easy access to Taos with it's many wonderful galleries, museums, shops and restaurants, but away from the hustle,bustle, noise and traffic jams you often find in Taos. Walk to the charming and historic town of Arroyo Seco for breakfast, lunch or dinner, or to visit it's quaint shops that rival the art and crafts offered in Taos. Nightly and monthly rates available. The on site caretaker is there to welcome you, answer questions and take care of any needs that arise. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Review Submitted: 2/12/2012

We stayed a month in sept and while we were looking for something more permanent just decided we werent gonna find anything any better in such a great location that we ended up leasing it the next five months. there is a beautiful view of the mountains from the living room window and little back patio where we grilled out alot and sat around and just checked out the scenery. this location is so serene--it has a really nice rustic but charming and quaint feel about it--very cosy. the casita was perfectly workable for the two of us during our stay--everything we needed was here, from hair dryer to soap to even a little storage out back for storing the few things we brought with us that we didnt want to clutter up the house with. this is a perfect location and space for single, couples, singles with kids or a couple with up to two kids to spend a weekend or longer --whether skiing (ten minutes to the ski valley--we didnt ski much but went up the to bavarian lodge many times for a stein of beer and some pretzels), hiking (lots of great trails and hikes nearby or just hoof it up to the little town of seco to eat like we did on numerous occasions--i spent a lot of nights up at Sabrosa's by the fire listening to live music on thursday and sundays, then enjoying the stroll back to the farm and casita) or just hanging out around the property and writing letters and playing games and cooking and watching movies. Linda, the caretaker of the property and homes, was a delight to deal with and informative (she turned us onto the williams lake hike which was great) and took very good care of us--very considerate and there when we needed her but otherwise not in our hair at all. We really appreciated the fact that after every snow our little walkway and door stoop was always clear! Within walking distance to seco town with a little grocery store, ABE's cantina and bar, another little bar and restaurant, taos cow ice cream shop, several shops and art galleries, and sabrosa's restaurant. 10 minutes to Taos and 10 to ski valley although we found after a while we hung out in seco more often than not. The entire property is fenced and entry is gated so if you have a dog then really works to let them out to run around a little. We were here six months and we never saw any other property or location where we said "oh, i wish we had rented that instead." this was really a great place for us and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for your interest in my guest house. I hope you take the opportunity to visit beautiful and enchanting Northern New Mexico and will choose Casita des Montes as your home away from home. I have enjoyed New Mexico and the Taos area since the mid '70's, coming here with my parents. I received ownership from my dad in 1997 and have shared Casita des Montes with those wanting a quiet and stunning setting for their visit to the area since then.
I live with my two boys, 10 and 3, in Portland, Oregon, and share the city with many other family members. We come to visit New Mexico for rejuvenation as often as we can. Our favorite activities are to raft the Rio Grande River, hike down into the Rio Grande Gorge, eat at Orlando's, Love Apple and Taos Outback Pizza. We also enjoy the toys and activities offered for the kids at Twirl.
I am a licensed massage therapist specializing in Maya abdominal massage. I enjoy hiking, play bass guitar and cello and am currently in a band called Hungry Ghost.
We have an additional home for short term vacation rental which you can see at vrbo.com. It is a straw bale home, built with "green technology". Thank you again, and I hope you enjoy New Mexico and much as we do and that we will see you soon!
