vacation rental description

Casita Montoya is a romantic, in-town cozy adobe. Enjoy a walk
(3 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. It is small, but certainly larger than a motel room and has a large fenced-in backyard. Parking in the driveway.


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 with 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 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, water purifier pitcher, toaster-oven, microwave and coffeemaker. If you don’t feel like cooking, there are excellent
restaurants within walking distance.

Bring your laptop (we have wireless internet as well as DSL) 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. 

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!

traveler reviews for this taos cottage rental

Cozy & Comfortable Casita!

claireinco (Denver)
Review submitted: May 1, 2013   Date of arrival: April 27, 2013

We had the most wonderful time at Casita Montoya this weekend!! Taos was gorgeous, and we really felt that we'd come on a perfect weekend... the weather was so nice!! The little backyard area was excellent - we ate almost every meal at the little cast iron table and chairs, and enjoyed hearing all the various birds in the trees!! We saw many ravens, and didn't know until this weekend how common they are in New Mexico! What amazing and graceful birds!! The only reason this review gets a 4 instead of a 5 is that the bathroom was tiny - the shower stall was very narrow, and the sink area didn't allow much room for primping. Not a ton of 'elbow room'. However, the rest of the casita afforded excellent space for relaxation. Much thanks to Ellen - we'll be sure to pass along information about this wonderful casita to our family and friends!!
Sincerely,
L. & C.

Recommended for: pet-friendly, tourists without a car, romantic getaway

Owners response: Ah, we're so blessed. We get wonderful people staying at our casa and casita. They're right - the bathroom is tiny. A full length mirror in the bedroom has more space around it for primping than the mirrors in the bathroom.

Wonderful week in Taos

Liz and Dallas (Cape Cod, MA)
Review submitted: March 15, 2013   Date of arrival: March 4, 2013

We enjoyed our week in Taos so much, and the casita was perfect for our needs. (That shower stall would be a bit of a challenge for a larger person, though!) We met some lovely people and had some wonderful hikes and meals. Your casita was a great base of operations, easy walking distance to a good grocery store, the main Plaza, and restaurants, including Doc Martin's.
Sorry we left socks!! Thank you for offering to send them on. Very kind of you.
On our way to Arizona today.... thanks again for your thoughtfully-furnished, quiet, comfortable casita. We will recommend it to friends. Best, Liz and Dallas

Cozy, charming, and everything needed

sgtraveler (Clovis, NM)
Review submitted: March 13, 2013   Date of arrival: March 1, 2013

Casita Montoya provided a cozy stay for my small family for three nights. We were able to accomodate our infant daughter sleeping in her pack n play. The kitchenette provided everything we could possibly need to cook our meals, the bed was comfortable, and the entire place was spotlessly clean. We hope to stay here again, and we highly recommend it!
