About this property

Welcome to Pinon Paradise Casita, our serene mountain retreat! Located between Taos (10 miles) and the Ski Valley (9 miles), it is perfect for summer and winter activities. Shops and restaurants in Arroyo Seco are only 3 miles away.

This home is unique in ways that only exist in Taos! The casita has high Vigas ceilings and radiant heat through the custom slate floor. Beneath a bank of windows with mountain views is a one of a kind sandbox- it can be used as a zen sand meditation garden, or hours of play for young and old alike!

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would need to prepare meals. There is one king bedroom and a queen sleeper sofa (that is actually comfortable! It is a platform pull out with a gel mattress). There is one full bathroom. Outside, there is a private hot tub with overhead string lights.

The extensively landscaped grounds are shared with the main house. Guests are encouraged to pick and eat seasonal herbs and vegetables as well as cuttings from the wildflower garden. Depending on the time of year, you may be able to enjoy herbs, fresh vegetables, apples and grapes! The fire pit is surrounded by four large Adirondack chairs and encourages you to sit and relax (blankets are provided for the cool desert evenings).

Please note there is a second home on the same property, situated with maximum privacy for each home. The homes are about 20 yards apart. Each home has it's own driveway and hot tub, but the grounds (fire pit, garden) are shared by both properties. If you have a larger group, please see the listing for reserving both properties as a "compound."

While this is a new listing, this property has been rented for years with numerous five star reviews. We have decided to rent without a management company because we want to know you, our guests, better!

If you are travelling with small children, there is a pack and play available.

4 wheel drive or chains required during snow.

My husband and I spent a week here and LOVED it! The casita felt so remote and peaceful, even though it’s very close to town (about 15 minutes from Taos). We felt very comfortable during our stay and enjoyed the amenities offered. The decor and furniture were perfect for the area, and I believe the art was painted by the hosts, which added a special element! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and eat our meals which was super convenient! We were fortunate that during our stay there wasn’t other guests staying in the front property, so we truly had the whole place to ourselves. We are so happy we found this place and look forward to our next stay there!

Wonderful getaway

Very nice casita. It was perfectly located to be remote, but also close enough to Taos. The heated floors were lovely.

Peaceful Adobe Casita between Taos/TSV

We enjoyed a wonderful retreat for a week, October 15-22, in the Pinon Paradise Casita. The casita is in a quiet, peaceful setting nestled in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The numerous Aspen and Cottonwood trees with their leaves in their golden autumn hues accentuated the lovely-terraced landscaping producing a magically serene atmosphere. The fire pit area offers a comfortable spot for reading, enjoying the view of Taos Mountain which is scared to the Taos Puebloan Indigenous People, gazing at the cosmic spectacle of countless stars at night, or just sitting there, shutting the brain down, and just enjoying the vibe! The adobe casita is picturesque without and wonderfully appointed with in. The view out the window wall offers one the opportunity to enjoy the colorful morning sunrises and the equally beautiful evening sunsets. The sitting room furniture is comfortable making reading a delight. The casita, surrounding grounds and the mountains are magical. If you are looking to enjoy a restful, renewing experience with all the beauty that North Central New Mexico offers, then you have no further took than the magical Pinon Paradise Casita!

About the host

Hosted by Amy Rabalais

We purchased this property in 2017 after a ski trip to Taos that winter reminded us how much we loved this special corner of the world.

Why they chose this property

From the first time we set foot on the property, we knew that it was "our place." We wanted a home where our children could play and where we felt at peace. It has become our haven in this crazy and busy world, now more than ever.
