Our family rented both the main house and the small detached "Casita" on the same property. The house was exactly as described online and was very nicely furnished and most essentials were provided. The back patio had a grill and hot tub, which was also very nice. The small Casita was also quaint and also exactly as described online. The location was wonderful--close to town but still had a nice mountain view in backyard. Overall things were great, but we felt there were a few minor issues that need improvement. Due to the type of septic system they have, there were strict instructions on the type of soap, toilet paper that should be used. We understood and respected that (I've lived with a septic system myself) but you need to bring your own soap (NOT anti-bacterial) because the small silver-dollar sized thin disks of soap they provided break easily, left a slimy film on the sink and were terrible for bathing! The kitchen only had one or two dish/hand towels, and when staying for several days and cooking, that's simply not enough. The bathroom in the main house had a heated floor, which was nice, but the room itself was cold. The same was true in the Casita--there were not enough hand towels, the soap was terrible and the bathroom was extremely cold--and what we thought was a ceiling heater turned out to be an exhaust fan. Also be aware that the "full" bed is really not made for two people and the duvet was cumbersome and heavy and the pillows were terrible--bring your own! The Casita also needs a porch light for security at night (you have to step over rocks to get to the door. Another disappointment was that when you're staying over the Christmas Holidays, it would be nice to have a few Christmas decorations in the house just to be able to fully enjoy the Christmas season, but no decorations were provided so we had to pack and bring a few of our own--which seemed ridiculous! It wasn't a huge issue, but we were also asked to remove our sheets and put them in the washer--supposedly for health issues--but we were charged for cleaning services and if they are worried about health issues perhaps they should supply their cleaning staff with a mask and gloves. These things probably wouldn't be an issue at all if staying we were staying for just a couple of nights, but when staying for 5 nights, they become an issue. Little things can make a big difference!

Casitas Encantadas exceeded our expectations. For our family it was the perfect in town retreat, convenient while also feeling very secluded. Rustic aesthetic, yet very well appointed and nicely maintained. We were thrilled to stay there!

Great place to stay

Very cute house, great location. Everything went smoothly with check in. I would definitely recommend!

Property very attractive and clean.

This is an eclectic old Mexican casita that has been semi remodeled, but still retains the Mexican charm. The a/c is only in the den and there are multiple fans in the rest of the home. The furniture and decor was a unique mix, but we really enjoyed it and fit the house. Cons: The lighting in the updated bath is very dim and you have to shower in almost complete darkness. The rug in the bedroom belongs outside to remove mud from your shoes. It is rough and hurts your feet to walk on it. Not for the mobility challenged. There are multiple levels of floors due to remodeling and there are stairs to the bathroom. Pros: Off-street parking is great. The house was clean and quiet (barking dogs at times) Comfy bed with plenty of extra linens Great WiFi and TV programming The patio is very large and is covered with a nice pergola and has a huge yard that was perfect for our dog. Thanks to our property manager, Wendy, for her quick response to a couple of issues.

Photos out of date. Air conditioning only in 1 room. No light in bathroom shower. Landscaping poorly cared for. Needs update for water .

Great place to stay. The house is so cute and adorable and very well maintained. The back patio has a hot tub and great views of the mountains. So many different types of birds come to the back yard. There was a cute little bunny rabbit.

Everything we needed for a restful stay in Taos. Close enough to town center but removed from the traffic. Lovely New Mexico art throughout the home.

The feeling of old New Mexico…the house is very comfortable and cozy, the property and surrounding area quiet and feels fairly secluded in spite of the proximity to the plaza. Amazing place to spend a quiet few days to relax and explore Taos. Would love to return soon!

We (2 adults and a dog) really enjoyed our stay here- the house is very comfortable for 2-4 people. Beds were comfy, and this was one of the better equipped rentals I have stayed in. We had everything we needed and then some to cook meals, plenty of towels, etc. The property was also great for our dog, given that there was a yard for her to roam in. The place is close enough to town, but private. Enjoyed our brief visit!

This was a cozy and comfortable rental. There are many charming touches and lots of reading material! This rental is a close ride to the Plaza and hiking trails. We had a spectacular stay! With a few updates this could be a five star rental!

We had a wonderful time during our stay at the Casita. It was a great, central location for exploring the town of Taos as well as going up into the mountains to visit our friends. One thing to note was the multiple steps in this historic home. Two steps up/down for the bathroom; step up for the bedroom. For folks with some mobility challenges, it was something we had to stay aware of-- steps between the various rooms. But the thick walls and beautiful beams reminded us that we were in a unique, historic place. The hot tub was fun and a real treat for us at the end of long days. Wendy, the property manager, was wonderful, flexible and accommodating. A real blessing as the primary purpose of our trip was a memorial service for our friends' son. This house was a welcome place of respite for our time there.

We enjoyed our stay. The place was clean, charming and as advertised.

We really enjoyed staying here - the house is beautiful and in Southwest style. There is a huge yard that my dog loved, and my 11 yo spent so much time in the hot tub! It was really clean and very comfortable. We have stayed in a lot of Vacation rentals and we all agreed this was in the top 5, if not the top.

Traditional old adobe that had been tastefully redone with great features. Great location, great yard for our dogs. Simply a great property to visit.

Very comfortable space for our group of 6. Decent hot tub and large fenced yard for dogs was key for us

Had a wonderful time, enjoyed the hot tub and fireplace. The home is lovely. Thank you!

Cute house, small & cozy feel, lots of character. Loved the hot tub

Very comfortable accommodations in a house with tremendous character and beautiful decor. Lots of room and a beautiful backyard with views of the mountains. Communications with property manager was excellent. We were very sad to leave and hope to come back again.

Very cool place! Had everything we needed and more!

My husband, pup, and I stayed in this lovely Taos casita for four nights. The location is fantastic - a short drive to the heart of Taos and felt very private with the fenced yard. The furniture and decorations made it feel like a home away from home. The kitchen had all the appliances we needed and the washer + dryer were great to have. The large bathroom worked really well for us - we enjoyed both the soaking tub and shower! look forward to going back with a small group of friends.
