Vacation Rental Description
This cozy apartment is located just a few minutes walk from historic Taos Plaza. A cool and colorful central courtyard with splashing fountain has earned this complex the name of 'Oasis of Taos.' Step inside and you'll find a comfortable retreat where you will quickly slip into the relaxed rhythm of this very special town. In the winter, build a fire in the fireplace or soak in the outdoor hot tub; in the spring and summer linger in your private patio area and enjoy the famous light of northern New Mexico.
