“Fabulous House” Casa Betita is a wonderful, conveniently located home -- carefully thought-out with meticulous attention to detail. We were there with my teenage son and his friend -- both avid snowboarders. The mountain is about a twenty or thirty-minute drive away, and downtown Taos is only a five minute drive. Cid's Market -- the local equivalent of Whole Foods is close by, as is Love Apple, which was our favorite restaurant in town. The house itself is perfectly outfitted -- the kitchen is fully equipped for preparing meals. The art and decoration are tasteful and welcoming without being fussy. While it's only two bedrooms, they're very private and the house feels spacious. The bath in the master suite has a large soaking tub and opens to a patio and private yard with a garden. The beds are comfortable with plenty of extra bedding -- blankets, pillows, etc. There's a washer and dryer, a dishwasher -- everything you need for a wonderful vacation. In short, the house is ideal and the owner is very accommodating and prompt and thorough in her replies to emails. We're looking forward to returning to Taos and Casa Betita.

“Great place to relax and explore” I just stayed here with my wife for the weekend, we loved it, and we will definitely return. The casita is situated about 2 miles from the center of Taos in a secluded rural area. Lots of privacy and quiet. The house has all the amenities you would need for a short or long stay, and the owner was fantastic and very accommodating.

“Cozy little adobe on the mesa” The house was perfectly located for a 20 minute drive up to Taos Ski Valley and only a few minutes drive into town. It is a little secluded in a rural area but that didn't bother us a bit. Underfloor radiant heart kept us toasty after a long day of skiing. While not exactly luxurious, this little house has been well maintained and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay.

“Enjoying the Morning Sunrises While Still in Bed!” Located on the mesa in arroyo Hondo not far from the Gorge Bridge, Farview House was perfectly located for our needs. Close enough to Taos to go shopping and wandering about, and near the road that took us up past Red River for our days of snowshoeing. We arrived to a cozy and warm little home, spotlessly clean that included all items necessary for our weeklong stay. Plus, the dining room table was decked out with treats from the homeowner and the rental agent as well as various magazines and information about the surrounding area. The weather the entire week was spectacular so we were treated to glorious sunrises over the mountains every morning, viewed from the warmth of the bed in the upstairs loft! Other rooms also contained views of the mountains as well as the surrounding mesa. Though there are not many houses yet in this development, we took several very nice walks along the roads, sometimes accompanied by friendly dogs. And, despite the narrow and steep spiral staircase, we managed, after several trips, to transport our clothes to the loft, allowing us to get even more exercise! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Farview, would highly recommend it and plan to return for another wonderful stay!

“Great stay!” We stayed at adobe retreat for four nights before Christmas in 2011, it was a great stay. The house is beautiful and locates at a very quiet street, while also convenient to restaurants and stores. Kids love the house with heating floor, make it very comfortable. Spacious and nice decorations. Thanks for the cookies, what a nice greeting! Will definitely come back.

“A Must Stay!” If you are looking at the Taos area for a get away for either in season or out of season, this property is a must. It truly has it all. A large gourmet kitchen with all of the features you would want plus fantastic views. A great room that is extremely spacious and comfortable which flows right into a family/media room to relax in. There are three well appointed bedrooms with two adjacent baths that have large, walk in showers. The master has his and hers baths and a large adjustable-angle, wall-mounted, flat screen TV along with a walk out patio to a Jacuzzi tub & sauna to relax your weary bones in! Extras include a laundry room, a game room with ping pong and pool tables, an outdoor gas range, a very large landscaped lot that sits off the road, a zen garden that is located in the center of the home in middle courtyard covered by a motorized skylight roof that opens and closes at the push of a button! We did not have a chance to use it as we were there in the summer season, but there is in-floor radiant heat throughout the home. All rooms are tastefully decorated and set with comfortable furniture. The home is located in an upscale neighborhood just outside of the town of Taos and is mere minutes away from shopping and dining anywhere in Taos. The views of the mountains and of the town are great and the night skies are stunning. Drives to Santa Fe, Taos Ski Resort, Casinos, the Rio Grande River Gorge, etc. are easy day trips and well worth the drive. We really enjoyed shopping in Taos and Santa Fe along with sampling the delicious cuisine of the area. All in all, we had a wonderful time at this property (we use Vrbo often) which was just what we needed for a relaxing and fun get away. This is definitely a case where the professionally done pictures are indicative of the quality of this home. Enjoy! ~ Mark & Erika

“Great Place to Stay!” My wife and I have stayed in this house on two different vacation trips to Taos. It's a great house in a great location. The house is big, but cozy and inviting at the same time. It has a great backyard with a wonderful deck. We love sitting on the deck in the late afternoon, sipping a drink and ignoring the real world. It's located in a quiet neighborhood that's within walking distance of the Plaza. Terry is wonderful to work with. She is our first choice when looking for a place to rent in Taos.
