Cozy Casa Carmelita features a Brilliant Kiva Fireplace, Unique Patio & Hot Tub!

CASA CARMELITA IS NM SAFE CERTIFIED, TRAINED IN COVID-SAFE PRACTICES

RV’s and Trailers are prohibited.

Casa Carmelita, also known as Casa Encantada #7, has plenty of charm, romance and magnetism that is tucked away in a serene setting. Casa Encantada, a classic adobe compound is situated on what was original Pueblo land. This early 1900’s family compound has been transformed into a charming, intimate collection of eleven individually owned casitas. Located one block off Kit Carson, it is an easy walk to the Plaza, 0.7 miles for shopping, galleries, restaurants, music and museums, and just moments to the El Monte Sagrado Resort and Spa.

Casa Carmelita is a classic adobe casita that opens into a beautifully landscaped, grassy shared common area with beautiful trees and a unique Totem Pole. This one bedroom gem sleeps 2 adults comfortably with a King bed (memory foam) and a Queen, Sleeper Sofa with no bars, no springs, no compromise. Guest will enjoy the large Kiva fireplace with beautiful gas logs for warm cozy nights. French doors open to the spacious private patio showcasing a bistro set with a wood-burning chiminea for a "quite" happy hour, then top the evening off with a relaxing soak in the hot tub. Additional amenities include, fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, microwave, dishwasher, portable air conditioner, air purifier, Roku/Smart TV with wireless Sony headphones, blu ray DVD, portable Bluetooth jam-box for music in the patio, fiber optic high speed internet, gas grill.

Dave visited Taos for the first time in 1971 on an art scholarship through his University. We hope you will enjoy his paintings that hang in the casita, some are available for purchase. Carmelita, a Registered Nurse enjoys the culinary experience of New Mexico and the Southwest.

We are excited to share Casa Carmelita with you.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The location was perfect- quiet and secluded but still very close to all the action in town. The patio was wonderful with the hot tub, and was the reason we chose this specific place. The bed was very comfortable. The only thing that was not perfect, was the cleanliness. It definitely was not a deal breaker, and we would still stay here again, but we would have liked to have had the patio furniture wiped down so it didn't dirty our clothes, fresher/newer towels, and less of the owner's belongings around. The storage space is lacking, so having brooms/cleaning supplies etc piled in corners is kind of necessary, but the forethought to remove old boxes from the patio and just try to organize a little more, would go a long way in the presentation and first impression of the casita!

It was everything a Taos VRBO should be: an adobe home with vibrant decor. Located very close to the historic district it had private parking, a private courtyard, a hot tub, well gas fireplace, good water pressure with plenty of hot water and a well equipped kitchen.

This cosy home is beautiful. Well appointed and decorated. Fully equipped kitchen and very clean. Nice, walkable neighborhood with access to art, restaurants, and museums. The hot tub, fire pit are so nice. It’s just a lovely place. Carmelita was easy to communicate with and prompt. The neighbors are so nice. And there are 2 wonderful dogs to greet you. But don’t be dissuaded. If you are not a dog person, the owners are very respectful and responsible. Loved Taos. So much to do. We hope to go back and would choose this place again. Thanks so much, Carmelita

This was probably one of the nicest places we’ve stayed that welcomes dogs. It was spotless, well-stocked, well-appointed, quiet and convenient. The courtyard was perfect and so was the hot tub. This little place checks all the boxes! We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Wonderful casita in Taos

Lovely little casita walking distance to the historic district of Taos while still being tucked enough away. Such a cute home and the outdoor area was still so widely used even in winter. We'd gladly return! The art on the walls was all done by the casita owner as well which felt really homey.

Fond of property

We’ve stayed here multiple times. We enjoy this property and Carmelita is beyond helpful. I am usually thorough when departing, but this time I left our travel folder. Carmelita went beyond what is expected and will be sending the folder back to us. The property is quiet and relaxing. I’m sure we’ll be back—assuming it’s available when we return. Carmelita is kind and easy to deal with. We follow the outlined rules and leave the property with the respect and with care it deserves.

Great stay

It is small but very efficient use of space. The house had everything we needed; A/C in living room and cool air in bedroom, hot tub, chiminea, laundry detergent, plenty of dishes (although we didn’t cook), there was even coffee for the Kureig. About 2/3 mile from plaza, so we walked everywhere. Would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely the best!

First of all, the communications were excellent and always asap in speed, both with Carmelita and the caretaker (as we called and wanted to check in an hour earlier). And, everything was ready and perfect! The best stocked kitchen with great cookware, utensils, china, on and on. And, the decor was lovely. After being on the road almost a month, the washer and dryer really came in handy. The property was so lovely. Really enjoyed both mornings and evenings out on the relaxing private patio. We wanted to take advantage of the hot tub but never could fit it into our Taos schedule! I cannot say enough about this VRBO spot. We will definitely be returning. Thank you so much for having us!

Such a warm, inviting place with all the things to make a stay complete. The hosts are pleasantly responsive if needed. I have stayed here several times and come back for the special feeling of the casita and the location to town. From starting my morning on the patio with the neighborhood flicker, magpie and crow, to ending with a glass of wine and hot tub, it is extraordinary.
