About this apartment rental
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.
FYI, you will see the adobe/boxelder bugs during the warm summer weather. They are seasonal to Taos and live in the trees. They come every summer and then they leave. They will not hurt you, but can be a nuisance. They are not specific to our place, they are all over Taos. Feel free to research further to see if this is going to be an issue for you.
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.

Lovely casita #7 with a wonderful bed, terrific hot tub and surprisingly well stocked kitchen! Very quiet, great and private outdoor sitting area, portable chairs to sit out in the bigger yard. Thanks Carmie for being such a responsive host!

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.

While we found the casita well decorated and in a nice location, there were hundreds of bugs in it. I contacted the property manager when we checked in and she told me it was adobe elderbug season and while they were a nuisance, they would not hurt us. They were everywhere! I filled the Dustbuster with several hundred bugs from the casita. In my opinion, it needs some major extermination, because we did not notice these bags in any of the other places we were in Taos.
