About this house rental
Town - Walk to Taos Plaza 1/2 block - 18 miles to Taos Ski Valley
Welcome to the true feel of 'Old Taos' in the 100 year old 'Historic' private airconditioned compound of 'Blue Elk Casa'. In the owner's words she tells us why this home may be just the one you are searching for to enjoy your valuable vacation time:
'In our mini-hacienda you are one block from the down town central plaza with all the wonderful food, art, shopping and museums you could wish for. At the same time your home base is nestled in a totally contained private home that has been hand-painted and crafted with love and which just 'feels good' to be in. We also offer to those family or friends traveling or celebrating together the choice of staying close but of having separate complete spaces when the need or desire arises. The second story unit (Blue Elk Up) has its own private entrance, private open deck, kitchenette, large living room and full bathroom with tub/shower combo. Blue Elk Down has two master bedrooms one with tub/shower combo & the other with walk in shower only. Both units have large enough living rooms for the entire group to gather for meals and visiting. This unique Up and Down separation is ideal for members needing quiet get-away time and space from the hustle and bustle of group activity. Please note these units do not have an interior flight of stairs connecting one to the other. From the downstairs patio you walk up an exterior flight of stairs to the upper unit.
In the afternoon and evening you are footsteps away from some of the locals favorite restaurants and cafe's. At 'Blue Elk Casa' you will be staying in one of the most authentic historic Taos vacation rentals offered in Taos, New Mexico. Come and experience true Southwest charm and architecture with adobe walls, viga ceilings, kiva fireplaces, bancos and nichos! Most important - you are a two minute walk from Taos Plaza and able to enjoy total and absolute privacy from neighbors or passers-by in this serene adobe walled compound.

The house was comfortable, with everything we needed, and in such a great location for walking to all the wonderful places in Taos. We also really enjoyed the hot tub!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2025
The unit was beautifully decorated and very clean and comfortable inside. The outdoor areas not so much and the windows were all cloudy. The upstairs unit smelled like gas and we discovered a valve on the fireplace was left on a tiny bit. When we opened a window to air out the unit the window fell apart.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
It was very convenient to the square and the delicious restaurants. My family had a great time.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2025
Location was great and Unit A was nice and cozy. Should note that no a/c in bedrooms, just in living room but stayed pretty cool at night. Unit B is upstairs and not so great for older users. Shared bathroom upstairs but nice living room . Lower patio is cute. No problem finding street parking.
