We enjoyed our stay at this casita. You drive down a dirt road that can stay snowy and icy after other roads have cleared because it is shaded. It is the last house down the small drive after you pass an adobe looking house on the right. The hot tub was clean, the bed is on the soft side and the bedding was all cotton and light and airy. We slept great and it was very quiet. We put the futon out and kept it out in the living room which made it very cozy. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and the Super Save in town had the best and cheapest produce and food. Very short drive to Cids and to town. Highly recommend this quaint home. The walk in tiled shower is amazing and all the floors are concrete and heated throughout the house. Quite the find and very private. Saw a shooting star while in the hot tub so great experience.

We really liked this rental! The owners are friendly and the rural setting is very relaxing. We enjoyed being able to walk to the plaza area.
The casita has everything you need and many special touches. We definitely felt like we experienced the beauty and vibe of Taos by staying here. Thank you Tara and Jean!

My husband and I are frequent visitors to Taos, and had tried to get a reservation here several times. It’s a popular choice for good reason. It’s a welcoming, peaceful place with friendly owners nearby should anything questions arise. It has all the necessities one needs and is just well done all around.

The property is charming, exactly as shown in the photos. It was lovely to be welcomed by a plate of fresh homemade scones which we ate on the sunlit patio with a view of irises and a green field. It was a perfect respite from city life. The home was well appointed and comfortable. The location was ideal, very close to the center of town as well as sights such as the Taos Pueblo and the Rio Grande Gorge, where we saw many big horn sheep grazing at sunset. Thank you Tara and Jean Jacques for a wonderful lodging experience!

Great little casita tucked away in a rural corner of town, well constructed and nicely furnished. The super comfortable bed and quiet surroundings made for a restful stay. The kitchen is very well stocked and communication with the host was outstanding, we would definitely stay here again.

My boyfriend, another couple, and I spent a birthday weekend in Taos. This was the perfect place to stay between Taos Ski Valley and downtown. We enjoyed the fireplace and hot tub after skiing!
The host took extra steps to have scones and milk for coffee waiting in the fridge. They also provided extra towels when we asked for some. Very comfortable stay.

This was our fourth trip to Toas and this was our favorite of all the places we have stayed. The Casita was wonderful and we loved that we could walk to town.

Casa Maravilla was the perfect retreat for an autumn Taos getaway. Close to hiking trails, the ski valley (JUST missed the Aspens!), rock climbing areas and all the amenities you would need downtown. The space was super cozy and clean and even though the temps dropped into the 20s, we weren't ever chilled. Great communication with Tara and Jean. They have clearly put a lot of love and care into this place!

This spot, and the hosts, are a gift. Every detail of the indoor and outdoor space is tended with care and is a perfect place to rest, rejuvenate, and from which to access the beauty of Taos and the land around it. We are grateful.

This charming casita feels like it's worlds away rural Northern New Mexico, but it's walking distance to Taos Plaza, an easy drive to other must-do area attractions, and convenient to all the modern necessities (grocery, gas station, etc.). Superb communication with hosts.

The property was as advertised and really enjoyed the hot tub. Follow owners instructions to get to the property as GPS take you around a much longer trip. Owner provided many items in refrigerator and kitchen had everything you might need for cooking.

Perfect summer escape
We had a very peaceful stay at this beautiful casita. The size was perfect for our family of 4 including two small kids. This was one of the better supplied VRBO’s we have stayed in, everything from soap for the washing machine to a mixer in the kitchen was right where we needed it. The shady porch was perfect for enjoying breakfast or reading in the afternoon, and the hot tub was piping hot every time we used it. We loved our stay and our expectations were exceeded!

This is a very nice house and easy to relax in. The owners were available and accommodating, yet offered privacy at the same time. The house is in a very quiet area, but within a short walk to the plaza.
The kitchen was perfect for cooking meals and the outside grill and patio seating made for a memorable experience.
The living room was nice and cool during the hot afternoon, and the tv had all the apps needed to watch and show and relax until the temps cooled in the evening.
We will definitely stay again!

We only had two nights at this beautiful property, but wished for more. Morning coffee on the porch with the sun coming up was especially memorable. Tara & Jean Jacques are wonderful hosts and the house is well equipped with a very comfortable bed. The hot tub was a nice plus after a day of hiking.

I think this was the best place we have ever stayed on a vacation. The property is so beautiful, and peaceful - at the end of a gravel road, we spent so much time on the front covered porch relaxing and watching nature. The inside of the casita is just perfection as well, everything you could need, beautifully decorated and designed, but clean and simple as well. We really wanted to stay forever!!
