Ski, Walk to Plaza, Romantic Adobe, Fenced in Backyard, KING Bed, HD TV, Netflix

Save money on this cozy adobe casita with a private backyard 3 blocks from historic Taos Plaza. It’s the perfect place for romance and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Minimum stay is TWO NIGHTS (except holidays). The KING bed is very comfy. Two nights to two or three weeks, but we do not offer monthly rentals since our cleaning crew needs steady work - and they're the best. This casita is well appointed with basic supplies and very clean! 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.) Wood floors and tongue-in-groove wood 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. The bedroom has a comfortable king-sized bed, adorned with four king size pillows, 400 thread count 100% cotton sheets, as many blankets as you want and, of course, a reading lamp on each side. Guests say it is very clean and comfortable. There's a full-length mirror plus an iron and a full size ironing board. The tall shade trees in the backyard keep the casita cool, but if there’s a heat spell, just turn on the a/c. The private backyard is yours alone and has a charcoal grill and a small wrought-iron table with chairs. It is completely fenced in, but sorry, the enclosed hot tub is for guests of Casa Montoya (VRBO #67696), the larger property in front that sleeps 2 to 4 people, is 650 sf and features a large, fully-equipped kitchen, kiva gas fireplace, king bed and queen sofabed. This casita has a kitchenette in the living room with 2-burner gas cook top, under-counter refrigerator, stainless steel sink, filtered water pitcher, toaster-oven, electric griddle, microwave and coffee maker. We regularly supply and refill condiments, cooking oils and spices and even some basic food items like coffee, tea, cereal, peanut butter and jelly, pasta and pasta sauce if you come in late and want a bite to eat, it's here! 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). If your favorite TV show is on while you'll be gone, just record it. We have a flat screen TV, Dish Hi Definition TV with DVR. And Netflix! A gas stove in the living room has a thermostat so you can be as toasty as you want. The bedroom has a/c, baseboard electric heat and there's a separate electric heater in the bathroom. The bathroom is small (no tub) with Mexican tiles, a hand-painted sink, and a Saltillo tile floor - plus a hair dryer and stocked medicine cabinet. Casita Montoya is less expensive than our other vacation rental in Taos, but it’s quite charming and comfortable. It's small, but larger than a motel room and has a large backyard, approximately 30' x 30'. In the summer it’s always cool, (we have a/c) and toasty warm in winter! It’s a half-mile walk to the historic Plaza with lots of charming stores and galleries along the way on Kit Carson Road. The large fenced-in backyard has tall shade trees which keep it shady for you. This is a non-smoking rental. One well-behaved dog allowed (well… maybe two). Private parking in the driveway. 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! Keywords: casita
