About this house rental

Casita Ave Maria is everyone's favorite. She is a 900-square foot, OPEN designed casita that was created and built by the Clancys. Casita Ave Maria has over 444 positive reviews. NEW MEXICO SAFE CERTIFIED.

Casita Ave Maria showcases a radiused front wall that opens up the floor space and makes the large kiva fireplace a focal point. David Clancy sculpted the incredible kiva and colored it with the perfect hue to offset it on the adobe-colored plaster that adorns all the walls. Natural wood cabinets shaped and built by David, knotty pine doors and tongue and groove ceilings wrap their warmth around you as you sit in this spiritual space and gaze out the Southern windows at the canyon, the Southwestern windows at the valley below and amazing sun sets or the mountains from the Eastern patio. Our casita is private and you have the entire patio and hot tub for your use only.

The original design of this casita boasts a HUGE patio on the Southern side, a serpentine-paved patio edged with decorative block piers with lighting insets. The Southwestern side hosts a large patio which can be accessed out the bedroom door. A 6-person hot tub and grand, outdoor fireplace await your arrival on this side and you can sit in the hot tub and marvel at the valley and canyon views, watch the sun rise and set, or count the shooting stars at night.

Talavera-tile adorns the kitchen cupboards and kitchen island. Brick-paved flooring with RADIANT FLOOR HEATING warm every step you take in this precious space. All NEW, stainless steel appliances await your use. Large, stackable washer and dryer is in its own closet.

The bedroom area is in the OPEN area of the entire casita but tucked away in the SouthWest side of the open space. Air-conditioning added July 2022.

A door to the SouthWest patio is off of the bedroom area making quick visits to and from the hot tub or the outdoor fireplace delightfully easy!! Pets are welcome with a pet fee. $150.00 minimum for one pet for a maximum of a week. We strongly prefer only one pet--there is no fenced in yard. Please let us know the breed of your dog when booking.

Spirit-soothing STEAM shower is stunningly slate-tiled with a glass door that encloses you in what we call the ''Enchanted Cave'' shower. Steam and dream away!

Starting supplies of wood are supplied for your use in both the indoor and outdoor fireplaces, basic start-ups of some spices, laundry and dish soap and paper products are supplied for your pleasure. Exterior camera on driveway/parking area.

Dog/Pet Fee-$150 minimum pet fee for one dog up to one week.

Everyone loves Casita Ave Maria! You will, too!

We highly recommend Travel Insurance-we don't travel without it. #HO-25-2018-Permit number. Also of note-Winter 2025 we had little moisture. As a result, we often have red flag warnings as it is extremely dry-high fire danger. If the weather conditions are dry during your stay, indoor and outdoor fires will not be allowed. However, if we get sufficient moisture before and during your stay… They may be possible. Since we can’t predict the weather, this changes day to day.

All aspects of our experience were exceptional. This is a first class accommodation in a beautiful and “enchanting”location. The owners treat you like a friend.

This home is so special all the right ways: warm, serene, comfortable in all the right ways. We spent our evenings soaking in the hot tub under a star-filled sky. We ended a couple of our evenings by a crackling fire in the kiva fireplace. When we weren't out exploring Tais, we found great comfort lounging and unwinding in the casita. Dave and Tammi created something truly restorative here. We're already talking about coming back.Specific notes about the property: The property is clean and beautifully decorated. The hot tub was very clean and warm, and the steam shower was relaxing. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the cookware and utensils you'll need for some home-cooked meals in the casita. Lots and lots of towels and extra blankets for chilly nights. We were supplied with enough firewood for 3-4 evenings worth of fires in the kiva.
6 / 10Average·Apr 2025
Hot tub was well maintained along with the premises. We were told not to use the outside fireplace in a communication from the owner but after the time we could cancel the reservation. That was not a big problem but probably should have given us notice or allowed cancellation. But After first night we were not allowed to use the indoor fireplace due to red flag warning. I would not recommend this property when taking the cost and the location but that’s just my opinion.
