Casita Bella -clubhous pool tennis hot tub internet stream deck patio privacy
Arroyo Seco - Los Altos - Half way between Taos, NM village and Taos Ski Valley - 8 miles either direction
Casa Bella Casita / Cabin / Guest House can be rented with or without the main house. The two Taos vacation rental homes are well separated and offer a good sense of privacy from one another. Casita Bella's tree shaded deck offers a private hot tub, outdoor dining, gas grill and is perched above the "Acequia" (a stream which is part of the famous New Mexico irrigation system - recall the novel "The Milagro Beanfield War"). In addition to the shaded and private deck is a raised flagstone patio offering extended outdoor shaded living space. Although small and cozy, Casita Bella is big on value and has become "home away from home" to many repeat guests.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy the recreation opportunities such as a hot tub or make use of other amenities including barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

The place should be clean if you charge a cleaning fee
Rough start. The couch hadn't been cleaned in months (took pics and sent to housekeeper) and I told her the hot tub looked yellow. She said she shocked it and after i sent pics she changed her tune. The property manager had her come and clean the food that had accumulated in the couch for months and reshock/replace the hot tub filter. Location is good for skiing and its quite. I would not use this property if you have over 3 people, 1 on couch and 2 in the queen bed.

Relaxing Streamside Stay
We loved the rugs in the casita and the full-sized stove and fridge in the kitchenette. The washer and dryer came in handy and the gas stove made for cozy evenings. Everything we needed was there. The best part is the little deck over the stream under the beautiful trees. The neighbors are friendly and the subdivision is very quiet. The caretaker is super nice and very responsive. If you're a skier the casita is only a short drive from the ski mountain. We needed a place that took dogs and this was perfect.

Romantic Casa Bella
We were happy with our stay at Casa Bella, The community was very warm and inviting with a beautiful tub and a tennis court. Each night we had a romantic soak in the hot tub. The garage gave us a convenient way to pack for our outings.. The manager was very helpful.

Hidden Gem
We loved staying here! The apartment was tastefully decorated and had everything we needed. Very clean and well kept. The stream running off the porch made us feel like we were in our own oasis. We brought our dogs along, and the neighborhood is a beautiful, safe place to go on a morning and evening walks (bonus is that Taos itself is super pet friendly).
We hope to be back in the future with friends to rent out the main house as well!

Never wanted to leave this Casita!
Our group of four friends found this place perfect for a weekend ski trip! 2 slept on the couches which were fine for adults as long as you’re comfortable with one another :) The Murphy bed was comfy and the hot tub superb. Highly recommend!

Perfect getaway!
From the time we booked until checkout, we had a seamless experience. They do have a contract you’re required to sign ahead of time, which was new for me but comforting.
The property is excellent! Gas fireplace, full kitchen, washer and dryer- PRIVATE HOT TUB! That was definitely our highlight after skiing Taos all day. It was so refreshing knowing it was available when we wanted to use it. The Murphy bed is comfortable enough- and not in the way of the space so we left it down our entire stay. WiFi works but is spotty, and tv has basic cable. It’s a smart tv, but because the WiFi isn’t great, patience is required…
We had a wonderful time there and will definitely book it again on our next trip to Taos!

Perfect for a trip to Ski Valley!
Excellent location to Taos Ski Valley. The Casita is small, perfect for two people. It's an older house with some expected quirks but very clean and comfortable. The private hot tub was nice. Had most of what we needed in the kitchen. We enjoyed our stay in this very quiet neighborhood.

What an oasis in the desert. Great shaded patio with gurgling stream at the side. Nice to play guitar there. Good outside grill.
Clean as a whistle and well maintained. No need for AC in this Adobe. Very constant cool inside temp. In August.
Walkable to A Seco, maybe a mile. Slept like a baby on the Murphy bed.
I’ll be back.

Not so little casita
What a lovely casita. Right by a small stream in a very safe community but feels secluded. Hot tub was wonderful. Spacious bathroom. Large mud room type area with full washer and dryer. Nice open living room and kitchen with Murphy bed which is super comfortable and easy to take down and retract each day. It was a bonus to be able to park in the two car garage. We cooked every night in the well equipped kitchen. Nice area for hiking but you’ll need to drive when touring stuff in the area. We went to Red River and Taos and Santa Fe during our 5 day stay. It seemed to be close to all. We did not use the indoor pool or tennis courts but all seemed really nice. Would definitely stay longer next time. Highly recommend.
