About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Escape to the Extraordinary in NM!

The Stick Casita, (casita means "little house"), has one bedroom with a full bed and a twin bed, and then a twin daybed (not sofa bed) in the living room. There is also a full bathroom and kitchenette in this casita. Additionally, the camper nearby has 2 small beds and no amenities, so check with me to be sure it's available as there is no heat in there.

All this is set in an old juniper and piñon pine forest. You'll have access to the double loop walking trail, (about 1.5 miles), that's shared with my adjacent properties. It's all really quite magical and not far from Ojo Caliente Spa and Springs asa well as the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, to name a few amazing things to visit.

I created this place for you to connect with the land and connect with your heart. Relax and unwind in nature, go out on adventure, or enjoy music and art in Taos. Stay as long as you can! This is an excellent getaway for singles, couples, and small families.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop.

Stars were amazing

It’s a pretty isolated property. Lots of peace and serenity. The kids did dogs and s’mores after building a campfire. If you have a Tesla this probably isn’t the best place. Taos does not have a supercharger and the closest one is in Sante Fe. Actually I would stay away from Taos all together if you have a Tesla. Other than that ( it’s not the property fault) the place was great. Had a neat hiking trail, fire pit, some neat art work in the typical New Mexico vibe. If you love nature this is a great place!
