Steam Shower Hot Tub-Fabulous Views! In & Out Fireplaces-Free Wood-444+ reviews!
About this house rental
Nestled in New Mexico, this attractive house for $169 per night is a great option for your next break. Casita Ave Maria is everyone's favorite. She is a 900-square foot, OPEN designed casita that was created and built by the Clancys. Casita Ave Maria has over 444 positive reviews. NEW MEXICO SAFE CERTIFIED. Casita Ave Maria showcases a radiused front wall that opens up the floor space and makes the large kiva fireplace a focal point. David Clancy sculpted the incredible kiva and colored it with the perfect hue to offset it on the adobe-colored plaster that adorns all the walls. Natural wood cabinets shaped and built by David, knotty pine doors and tongue and groove ceilings wrap their warmth around you as you sit in this spiritual space and gaze out the Southern windows at the canyon, the Southwestern windows at the valley below and amazing sun sets or the mountains from the Eastern patio. Our casita is private and you have the entire patio and hot tub for your use only. The original design of this casita boasts a HUGE patio on the Southern side, a serpentine-paved patio edged with decorative block piers with lighting insets. The Southwestern side hosts a large patio which can be accessed out the bedroom door. A 6-person hot tub and grand, outdoor fireplace await your arrival on this side and you can sit in the hot tub and marvel at the valley and canyon views, watch the sun rise and set, or count the shooting stars at night. Talavera-tile adorns the kitchen cupboards and kitchen island. Brick-paved flooring with RADIANT FLOOR HEATING warm every step you take in this precious space. All NEW, stainless steel appliances await your use. Large, stackable washer and dryer is in its own closet. The bedroom area is in the OPEN area of the entire casita but tucked away in the SouthWest side of the open space. Air-conditioning added July 2022. A door to the SouthWest patio is off of the bedroom area making quick visits to and from the hot tub or the outdoor fireplace delightfully easy!! Pets are welcome with a pet fee. $150.00 minimum for one pet for a maximum of a week. We strongly prefer only one pet--there is no fenced in yard. Please let us know the breed of your dog when booking. Spirit-soothing STEAM shower is stunningly slate-tiled with a glass door that encloses you in what we call the ''Enchanted Cave'' shower. Steam and dream away! Starting supplies of wood are supplied for your use in both the indoor and outdoor fireplaces, basic start-ups of some spices, laundry and dish soap and paper products are supplied for your pleasure. Exterior camera on driveway/parking area. Dog/Pet Fee-$150 minimum pet fee for one dog up to one week. Everyone loves Casita Ave Maria! You will, too! We highly recommend Travel Insurance-we don't travel without it.

Great hosts with a lovely home. This is our 3rd time and we absolutely love it!! We always try to stay here but this place books fast. Lovely views and extraordinary home. It’s stocked with everything you need. The hot tub is amazing. Again, there are no worlds to explain on how thoughtful the owners are in making sure we or anyone that stays here has the best experience!!

We brought our 2 year old, well behaved Boston Terrier. The house was very nice and well appointed with one king bed. The outdoor space was great with the fireplace and hot tub and nice view. The only real negative is the neighborhood is not people or pet friendly. We were not even allowed to walk down the driveway with or without our dog. So we had to drive just to get away from the property. Overall it was very nice.

Out of all the places that my wife and I have stayed within the Enchanted Circle, this is hands down the best, From the location of the casita, the surroundings and the overall pleasantness of our host we would not trade it for a hotel in town. We plan to stay again next year.

This casita was the perfect stay. From the moment I booked the owner was in perfect communication. Everything I needed she answered very quickly. The casita is as good in person as the pictures posted. The wrap around porch made it where you could sit outside anytime of the day. The hummingbirds were so fun to watch. The temperature was too warm for the spa and steamy shower so I can’t speak to those. There were so many books, art supplies, and plenty of tv if you wanted to take advantage of those. The location was great where you felt like you were the only one there, but yet only about 10 minutes to Arroyo Seco and about 15 minutes to Taos. The inside is immaculate. Clean, fully stocked, and plenty of places to sit. The bed was plenty comfortable and a really good nights rest and /or nap. I visited most of the places the owners had told me to go eat and they were right. Orlando’s ended up being my most favorite. Overall and excellent place to get away. I wish I could’ve stayed longer.

We enjoyed watching the hummingbirds on the patio, the hot tub, and the beautiful sunsets. Lovely home.

The Casita lies nestled between the mountains and the Rio Grande Gorge (which is visible from the patio). It's so quiet, one can hear the hum of hummingbird wings as they relax outside.
The owners have stocked the kitchen with everything you need to make your start enjoyable. Cookware, utensils, spices, even Tupperware to keep leftovers for later.
The town of Taos is a short 20 minutes away and has anything you could need; good food, shopping, groceries, you make it.
It was well worth 9 hours of driving to simply exist in the peace and comfort the Casita afforded.

This is the perfect place to stay if visiting the Taos area. The place is close to everything and yet secluded and private so you feel you are by yourselves. The view is stunning and the amenities (the steam shower, hot tub, fireplaces - with wood provided) give you all the luxury you could want. The Casita itself is thoughtfully decorated with care and a love of the area. The hosts are great and provided much information in advance of our trip to help us plan. Communication was superb and they will help with anything. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone coming to the area!

We have a new favorite! The views, the comfort of the casita, and the peace and quiet were amazing! Although this casita had some neighbors, the layout was very private and afforded some of the best views of the valley we've seen. The hot tub was well maintained and so relaxing. We loved our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at Casita Ave Maria. The place was exactly as described. Beautiful views from the deck and hot tub. Lots of windows so lots of natural light into the casita. Kitchen was stocked with all of the essentials. The shower was AMAZING as everyone else has said. Great location as it’s not directly in the town but also a short drive from TSV if that’s why you’re visiting. Can’t wait to come back and stay again.

The Casita Ave Maria was perfect for a getaway. The views are amazing from the patio, and soaking in the hot tub on a cold night while enjoying the stars can't be beat! We also enjoyed our morning coffee by the outdoor fire. The accommodations on the inside are good, with a comfortable bed, a well stocked kitchen, and an indoor fireplace. The hosts were great as well. We would definitely return to this property!

This home is located such that you can see so many stars and the Milky Way while soaking away the days adventures in the hot tub. It has all the amenities of home with extras like a steam shower and indoor/outdoor fireplaces. This was our second time staying here and it was as great as we had remembered.

This is the perfect VRBO for your Northern New Mexico getaway. Every detail such as the provided robes to the delicious bottle of wine provided, to the feeders that brought some humming bird friends to hang out with made this the perfect stay for my partner and I. We especially enjoyed having a fire outside while soaking in the hot tub! We will be back soon!

My husband and I stayed at this adorable little casita for 2 nights but could’ve stayed forever. It was soo cute, clean, cozy, private and stocked so well that it felt like home!- literally the best stocked place I’ve stayed. We just couldn’t get over how unique it was. The ONLY con is the roof noise which was explained in the check in/out notes. We have a two story house and our kiddo that sleeps above us falls out of bed from time to time ha! So the creaking startled me every time… probably not a typical situation! We had a lovely stay. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing place and fantastic info and recommendations!

We came here for a getaway and and loved it the place, has everything you need and more! My husband loved having coffee on the patio watching the hot air balloons every morning. The steam shower was amazing also!! The owners had great reviews on where to eat and whay to visit. We will be back.!!

We spent almost 3 weeks in the casita after a family reunion in Angel Fire. The location was perfect as a home base for the many day trip miles we spent touring northern NM. The Casita was beautifully decorated and equipped with anything we needed for stay at home meals or just hanging out enjoying the sunsets and stars. Arroyo Secco is a great alternative to staying in Taos. The local restaurants were great and the host gave terrific recommendations for dining, hiking and shopping. I would highly recommend this property and host

Casita Ave Maria was a beautiful place to stay. Enjoyed the sunsets from the patio and the beautiful views. The bed was super comfortable! Kitchen was awesome to cook in.

Amazing views at a very special casita!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this property! It is probably the best place we have ever stayed away from home. We went here for our 10th anniversary and it was a very romantic setting. The pictures (even though they are good) do not do it justice. The views were incredible, the bed was very comfortable, and the casita was stocked with everything we could have needed for our stay. The area is magical and the sunsets, sunrises, and view of the night sky from the deck and hot tub cannot be beat! We loved that they provided wood for the fireplaces and the nearby towns of Arroyo Seco and Taos were wonderful to explore. Even though it is a bit of a drive we went to Ghost Ranch while we were there as well and it is very worth the drive! Especially when paired with a relaxing night soak at Ojo Caliente on the way back. Tammi was a very communicative host who responded promptly and went the extra mile to welcome us for our anniversary :) We will never forget our magical stay here and hope to return some day. Highly recommend staying here if you get the chance!

Casita was well equipped. View was beautiful. Bedding was very soft and comfortable. Suggest a small step stool. At 5 feet tall and 60 years old it was a tough climb to get into the bed.

This casita was amazing! Upon arrival, we were mesmerized by the beautiful views from the huge deck. The deck has a hot tub, fireplace, grill and tons of space to hang out. The inside was much larger than the pictures online appear! So even though it is all in one room, we did not feel crowded at all. The casita is equipped with everything you will need. The indoor kiva was so nice with supplied wood and other materials to have a nice fire. The steam shower is an added bonus! The location is outside of Taos about 15-20 minutes but just a few minutes from the little village of Arroya Seco where there are plenty of cafes and restaurants to get coffee and meals. Tammi was so helpful in providing recommendations for restaurants and other things to do and was particularly gracious is helping me ensure the casita would work for my husband who is in a wheelchair. You will love this place. We cannot wait to go back!

A little piece of heaven
It was like a little piece of heaven. The view is magnificent. If you're looking for a place to decompress then This is a place for you. Dave and Tammy we're available to answer any questions responded so quickly. The steam shower was amazing and the hot tub is exceptionally clean and well taken care of.

We love this place. Quiet, peaceful and the view of the Milky Way from the hot tub is amazing. PERFECT! Check out Abe’s in Arroyo Seco; very local and delicious. Also, new owner at what used to be Francesca’s but is now Marigold in Arroyo Seco. The owner is friendly, her dog is A-dorable and the clothes aren’t bad either. Also, if you are looking for one- of-a-kind jewelry go to Claireworks in Arroyo Seco.
