In-town romantic, cozy adobe. Ski nearby. Wireless. in Taos

Casita Montoya is a romantic, in-town cozy adobe. Enjoy a short walk
(just 2 blocks) to historic Taos Plaza, or ski nearby at world-class
Taos Ski Valley. The street it's on has 3 speed bumps, so there's very
little traffic. It’s the perfect place for romance and doesn’t cost an
arm and a leg.

If you're drawn to Taos, you're probably a skier (it's excellent at
nearby Taos Mountain) or you’re spiritual (our upstairs loft even has
a meditation bench) or you’re into health and fitness (yoga mat and
weights supplied and my friend will bring her massage table to soothe
your muscles after skiing. Just $70 for a one-hour massage.)


Wood floors and ceilings in both rooms add a special charm and the
hand-plastered walls in the bedroom are tinted a salmon color that
makes your skin look fantastic. Look up at the stars through the
skylight in the bedroom, but close the skylight shade if you want to
sleep late. The bedroom was just recently constructed and has a
King-size bed.

The tall cottonwood trees in the backyard keep the casita cool, but if
there’s a heat spell, just turn on the a/c. The backyard has a small
wrought-iron table with umbrella and 2 chairs and is completely fenced
in, but sorry, the enclosed hot tub in the backyard is for guests of
Casa Montoya, (property #28784) the larger property in front that
sleeps 2 to 4 people and features a large, fully-equipped kitchen, hot
tub, King bed, TiVo, DSL and wireless, and wood fireplace. This
casita has a kitchenette in the living room with 2-burner gas cooktop,
under-counter refrigerator, deep stainless steel sink with water
filter on the faucet, toaster-oven, electric kettle, microwave and
coffeemaker. If you don’t feel like cooking, there are excellent
restaurants within walking distance.

Bring your laptop (we have wireless internet) and your cell phone (we
don’t have a telephone). A gas stove in the living room has a
thermostat so you can be as toasty as you want. The bedroom has
baseboard electric heat. The bathroom is small (no tub) with Mexican
tiles and hand-painted sink, and a Saltillo floor. Enjoy the thick
L.L. Bean towels after your shower.

Considered 'sacred' by many of the residents, Taos Mountain is a
world-class ski resort. Taos has a rich history and cultural
heritage, with numerous galleries, museums and festivals you can walk
to from Casita Montoya. You'll love this place!

Tall cottonwoods keep the casita cool, but there's also an air
conditioner in the bedroom. Enjoy satellite TV with HBO and Starz,
DVD and CD players, DVD library. King bed.

Kitchenette in the living room has 2-burner stovetop, under-counter
refrigerator, deep stainless steel sink with water filter on the
faucet, toaster-oven, electric kettle, microwave, blender,
coffeemaker, pots and pans and all kinds of utensils. Check before you
grocery shop since we provide teas, mayo, ketchup, salt, sugar, etc.

This casita is just 2 rooms plus small bath (shower, yes; tub, no) but
does have a curved stairway to a charming loft for meditation,
relaxing, enjoying private space, gazing out the window, looking down
on your partner preparing dinner (or looking down at your partner
looking up at you wondering when you're going to make dinner), storing
your luggage. You can't stand up in it (unless you're really, really
short) but there's a meditation bench and a table with short legs, a
rug and pillows for lounging. The yoga mat and weights are in the
bedroom closet downstairs, along with the iron and ironing board and
extra pillows.

Ski at world-famous Taos Mountain at Taos Ski Valley nearby. Fishing,
golf, swimming, rafting, hiking and lots more to do. Walk to museums,
galleries, restaurants, shops.
