Tony and Janelle were wonderful hosts. The casita was amazing, we had a wonderful time. It was the perfect place for our little weekend get away. The views all around were breathtaking. We got to tour their earth home which was absolutely stunning. Will definitely be going back again.

We had such a nice stay, the hosts are really lovely and the casita is so cosy and lovely situated on the mesa with a great view!

I enjoyed my stay at this casita, and the hosts were very welcoming. Everything was provided that I needed. My only criticism is that I don't recall the description of the property including the fact that it is way out in the desert - 4.3 miles on a dirt road, and quite a ways from Taos. It wasn't really a problem, but I would have liked to have known. When it became obvious that men would be working near the property the entire time I was there, the host made a generous adjustment to my fee.

Our stay was amazing - came out here for a birthday weekend and it was more than we could have expected! Janelle and Tony are so welcoming and, if it wasn't during COVID times, would have been really awesome to have a drink with.Very private casita - the patio is very private as well, with plants separating you from the main house. The casita is also stocked with whatever mugs/glasses/utensils/wine openers you might need (and a griddle!)At night when the sky was clear, the stars were amazing. During the day, the view is beautiful - rolling hills in the foreground, mountains in the distance. Can't beat it.
