We loved the big house! Lots of room both inside and out. Good location and a comfortable walk to the Taos Plaza. For 4 years we have booked various properties owned by Melissa and will continue to book them when in Taos.

Thanks so much. Always a pleasure to host you in my homes
We really enjoyed Casa Madre. Our family felt very comfortable. There are wonderful details everywhere, very personal and Taos-esque! Great neighborhood.
Traveling for the weekend to see two concerts with dogs.Peaceful space with a great outdoor spaces for coffee and a side yard for the dogs. Numerous pieces of charm and art throughout with all of the essentials you will need. Easy checkin and great communication.
A group of 6 friends just spent one night at Casa Madre and now we daydream about living there full time! ha. It was incredibly comfortable, convenient, well stocked, clean, and totally beautiful! Thanks so much! We will definitely be back!
We had a wonderful time celebrating with our family for Christmas! The home was well stocked with everything we needed to cook multiple meals at home. Easy walk into town
We loved our stay at Casa Madre, even during the extreme weather this season, the house stayed comfortable. Plenty of room, good parking, fantastic location. This place is a treasure!
Great space that had all of the amenities we needed and was very comfortable. Tastefully decorated and was within walking distance to town and a 30 minute drive to the ski mountain. Would highly recommend.
Property is just what you would hope for in an eclectic community like Taos.

About the host
Hosted by Melissa /Taos mgr.
Some women collect shoes. Some collect husbands. I seem to collect houses!
I have 11 vacation Rentals in Taos. Everything from one bedroom apartments and casitas to two and three bedroom homes.
I so enjoy buying old adobes, remodeling and reviving and then furnishing them and renting them to visitors. My houses are always booked and I get great reviews.
I moved to Taos 14 years ago from the San Francisco Bay area after raising my three children as a successful landscaper. I wanted a small town with lots to do, real mountains and four seasons. I got all this and more. I can't imagine living anywhere else and love sharing my town with my guests.
Why they chose this property
I've known this home for years. A friend of mine owned it and I often went to garage sales at the house. It had a nice feel to it and I liked the location. It went into foreclosure and I honestly forgot about it. I had enough else going on. A real estate friend of mine mentioned it to me and we went to see it. I immediately saw the incredible potential as a wonderful vacation rental, but no longer had my 'California money or California mentality'
My mom was 96 and talked about wanting to do something for me while she was still alive to enjoy it. She wrote a check and I had another house.
I bought it in March and it was quite the challenge, but 4 months later I have an amazing showcase vacation rental!
Thanks mom! I've named it 'Casa Madre' for you!!!
What makes this property unique
This home has a wonderful feeling to it. Ok, part of it is my style and taste I know, but it is inviting and friendly with a spacious, yet cozy feeling.
Floors are wood or mexican tile, there are lots of windows, screened doors and it has a welcoming feel.
The house is constructed of 'cross ties' which are railroad ties, but not treated with creosote so the walls are thick and it is cool on the warmest days. I splurged on two gas log stoves for that fireplace feel without the firewood chore. All rooms now have heat. It must have been quite chilly in the past, but will now be warm in the winter. Please ONLY operate gas log stoves from wall thermostats and NEVER turn off main gas lines.
The house has a nice layout and will be comfortable for one to three couples in the three bedrooms.
The neighborhood is great. Nice homes, peaceful and quiet. Birdsong in the day, crickets at night and occasionally the intriguing sound of someone's peacock! (A peacock in Taos? I swear it is...)
There are two homes on the property, but each have their own parking area, are separated by gardens and a fence so everyone maintains a sense of privacy.
This is a very special home and I am proud to offer it as a vacation rental.
