About this house rental

Nestled in Taos, this charming house for $460 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. Town - Walk to Taos Plaza 1/2 block - 18 miles to Taos Ski Valley Welcome to the true feel of 'Old Taos' in the 100 year old 'Historic' private airconditioned compound of 'Blue Elk Casa'. In the owner's words she tells us why this home may be just the one you are searching for to enjoy your valuable vacation time: 'In our mini-hacienda you are one block from the down town central plaza with all the wonderful food, art, shopping and museums you could wish for. At the same time your home base is nestled in a totally contained private home that has been hand-painted and crafted with love and which just 'feels good' to be in. We also offer to those family or friends traveling or celebrating together the choice of staying close but of having separate complete spaces when the need or desire arises. The second story unit (Blue Elk Up) has its own private entrance, private open deck, kitchenette, large living room and full bathroom with tub/shower combo. Blue Elk Down has two master bedrooms one with tub/shower combo & the other with walk in shower only. Both units have large enough living rooms for the entire group to gather for meals and visiting. This unique Up and Down separation is ideal for members needing quiet get-away time and space from the hustle and bustle of group activity. Please note these units do not have an interior flight of stairs connecting one to the other. From the downstairs patio you walk up an exterior flight of stairs to the upper unit. In the afternoon and evening you are footsteps away from some of the locals favorite restaurants and cafe's. At 'Blue Elk Casa' you will be staying in one of the most authentic historic Taos vacation rentals offered in Taos, New Mexico. Come and experience true Southwest charm and architecture with adobe walls, viga ceilings, kiva fireplaces, bancos and nichos! Most important - you are a two minute walk from Taos Plaza and able to enjoy total and absolute privacy from neighbors or passers-by in this serene adobe walled compound.

The property was well maintained. The only reason I wouldn't give a five star review is because of the following issues: 1. The key was difficult to use. It was badly cut. 2. They didn't have enough wine glasses. Some glasses were plastic. 3. My bed needs new mattresses. I didn't hear similar comments from the others, so it was probably just my bed.. 4. The parking lot wasn't perfect. We had to park on the street, which wasn't always available. They had extra parking at a church which wasn't very convenient. However, I consider these problems to be minor. We had a lovely time there.

We rented both the upstairs and downstairs of Blue Elk Casa, and in general found the property to be great for our family Thanksgiving vacation. There were a few issues: 1. the downstairs TV could not connect to the house wi-if, so we were limited to the upstairs one. The tech is pretty out of date. 2. My son and his partner found the sheets in their downstairs bedroom either had not been cleaned or were not cleaned very well. 3. The charm of New Mexico fireplaces was not available to us. The downstairs one worked for a day, the upstairs one never did. To be fair, the property manager did get someone in to try to fix the upstairs fireplace, but when he left neither upstairs or downstairs worked. Also in fairness, though, this happened the day before Thanksgiving…. Other than these fixable issues, be advised that the only full kitchen is in the downstairs unit, and it is really too small for a party of 8!

Chose this property as it was very close to downtown Taos Plaza with shops and restaurants. Closest highly rated Mexican restaurant was just around the corner of our street! We missed the detail that this is actually a duplex with separate entrances, so our group split between the two at night and met in the lower unit during the daily gathering. That all worked out fine. Unit had a couple minor problems with a gas fireplace malfunction and a persistent dripping kitchen faucet. There was also notable ceiling mold in the upstairs unit bathroom (no ventilation to remove moisture). The property manager was communicative and attended to these quickly and said they will have an exhaust fan installed to mitigate the mold. Otherwise, all in all, an very enjoyable stay

This home was very comfortable, clean. nicely decorated, and in a perfect location close to plaza but in a quiet neighborhood. It made my first trip to Taos quite enjoyable, and I would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful time at the Blue Elk Casa! Our group consisted of five adults, four kids, one baby, and one small dog, and the multi-level units made it easy to be together while still allowing space for everyone. As a multi-generational group, we very much appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, accessible extra towels and bedding, and closeness to the Plaza. We very much enjoyed our stay and hope to book again for our next Taos getaway!

Our family rented the upstairs and downstairs property which worked very well for us. We loved the location. We were able to walk to shopping, restaurants, and music. The host was very friendly and helpful while we were there. The property has all of the uniqueness of Taos architecture and ambiance which we very much enjoyed.
