About this property

Casita Rael, an Art lovers get-a-way

This Casita is within walking distance to the Historical Taos Town Plaza. Sits on its own fenced yard, plenty of privacy. Tired of the hustle, noise, traffic, this Casita is located on a quiet dead end street. It is perfect for a single or couple who relishes in beautiful surroundings, both landscape wise and art wise. Within walking distance to the Harwood Museum, Kit Carson Museum, Popular Bent Street and areas of plenty shops, galleries, Pubs, restaurants and much more. Casita Rael has its own two car parking lot. View the most beautiful sunsets from the comfort of the Dining area. Feel like taking a walk? Casita Rael is built on a two acre field of orchard grass which lends itself to walks or sometimes, making friends with a horse or cows which may pasture at the field in mid summer.
Casita Rael is fully furnished including art-work, Taos Pueblo Pottery, and a book shelf full of books about Taos‘ rich Cultural Heritage and other books which together will surely inspire the imagination. Compared to other short term rentals in the Taos town limits, Casita Rael’s rates are reasonable and the tenant has the option and rates for renting Casita Rael by the month if so desired.

My month-long stay at Casita Rael
I rented this property for just over a month to enjoy the skiing and art scene in Taos. It was everything I wanted. Close to all the locations I was interested in, but also secluded & private.

Quite and comfortable house
A fantastic place to stay while in Taos. The house is in a very quite street and is in easy walking distance to Taos Plaza. The house has everything that you need as is a very relaxing home. If we come back to Taos, we will definitely stay here again.

Peaceful Stay
The casita is quiet and feels like you are staying in the country even though it is very close to the plaza. I loved my walk every morning down the dead end road. The casita is clean and decorated nicely. Thanks to the owners for a comfortable stay!

About the host

Hosted by Petra or David Rael

Host profile image
David and Petra are both locals to Taos. They owned a business in Taos "Dave's Custom Cycles", for over 30 years and have since closed the business. David is semi-retired, he still teaches Mathematics at the local University and Petra works with the El Prado Water and Sanitation District. Both have been and continue to be active in the Taos and surrounding communities.

Why they chose this property

Peralta Lane originally was owned by David's Grandpa and over the years he gave parts away to his children. This particular Casita sits on its own fenced property, so it is secluded yet has an open field in the back where you can see the occasional horse, cow, cat lazily eat, hunt or what not.
