Our second visit. Beautiful historic home and town, great hosts. The best place for a relaxing getaway with pristine views and quietude We ll be back, many thanks to the hosts.
This beautifully restored adobe is perfect for a peaceful, quiet getaway. We loved taking long walks in the cool clean air and resting in the lovely patio with a gorgeous view of the mountain scenery. When we could tear ourselves away from our comfortable nest, it wa a short trip to Chimayo and its sacred and culinary attractions. The road to Taos is longer but scenic and interesting. Owners Annette and Ben are the best hosts!
The property is absolutely beautiful and it was very calming and comfortable. Ben was very responsive to our communication. The property was beautifully furnished and the owner shared fresh eggs with us. Everything was just as it was listed and check- in was simple. We will love to stay here again.
very peaceful and relaxing. This is a hidden gem. No road noise. Absolutely quiet. So many bright stars. You don't see that in the city. Loved the backyard view of the mountains and the morning sunrise.
We wanted to find a place that was close to Taos, Santa Fe and Abiquiu and Truchas seemed like the perfect place. I had never heard of Truchas before, but immediately fell in love with the place and the Casita when I saw it on Vrbo. Usually we stay in town, either Taos or Santa Fe so this was different as it is very secluded in a good way. We live outside a small town in Texas so we were used to having to drive a bit for groceries or restaurants. 30 minutes for both. The casita is a work of art! The furniture and woodwork in the house is amazing, as well as the smooth, calming adobe walls. Extremely peaceful and perfect as our landing place after exploring Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu, Taos and Santa Fe.
Property is out of the way providing the privacy we wanted! Super nice and clean inside. Beautiful views of the mountains. Owner is super nice and helpful. Would definitely stay again!!!
Pictures don’t do justice to how beautiful inside & out!
This is a beautiful casita with a great Mountain View! The owners were always quick to respond to any questions we had, and everything we needed was provided, such as paper products, cleaners & coffee. The place was really clean and comfortable. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay!
We love coming back to this lovely casita to soak in the peacefulness, the beautiful views and the calming sounds of nature just being herself! Mornings on the patio are a little slice of heaven.
Pictures do not due it justice! A perfect gem in northern New Mexico. Nearby lakes for kayaking/fishing, walking distance to art galleries and historic town. Hosts were delightful and very accommodating! Making this an annual stay!
The house was gorgeous including the furniture; a New Mexican palace! The location in Truchas was beautiful and the views of the mountains from the back porch were stunning! It was beautifully quiet and the air was clean and sweet. We would love to visit again!
Lovely natural setting with views. The restored adobe house is spacious, beautifully decorated with Southwest flair. Well-functioning kitchen, nice living room and comfortable bedroom. It was quiet, private, and tranquil!
This property is just full of southwest style details that will not cease to keep your interest. Beautfully done! Everything one would need for a weekend, week or month! Five Stars!
This was my second stay at the Casita. If you love open space, mountain views and absolute quiet, you'll love this place. Very tasteful Southwestern decor inside and a large and fully functional kitchen. I go to write and hike, and the Truchas mountains, which you can see from the bedroom, are full of beautiful trails. I look forward to returning.
We wanted a place to recharge and escape from our hectic life. This place is off the beaten path and lovely. The stars at night are glorious. A short trek through beautiful country to either Santa Fe or Taos. Quiet, peaceful, comfy! The hooting owl and light snow made it picture perfect. Our hosts were helpful and accommodating. We will definitely stay there again next time we head that way.
The house is better than the pictures on line. It is beautiful and spacious with a wonderful patio that we used in the mornings and when we returned in the evening. The location is remote but easy to get to Taos or Santa Fe and the drive both ways is beautiful. We found that at the end of the day we preferred to head back to the house and just hang out for the evening. It was hard to leave!
Lovingly restored to perfection. Large bedroom living area and kitchen. Perfect setting with patio for breakfast and dinner watching the fields change color with the sun.
Owners were friendly helpful And went out of their way to share history of the area along with great recommendations for restaurants and hiking spots . Plus a bottle of wine coffee abs fresh eggs!
We loved Truchas and surrounding area with the landscape hiking history and arts.
Loved everything about our stay.

About the host
Hosted by Ben Smiley or Annette Vigil
The house was originally built in the late 1800's by my wife's family. It originally started as a one room adobe, then over the years rooms were added on. When we purchased it 10 years ago it was a three bedroom one bathroom home with last family having 6 kids raised.
We remodeled it into a one bedroom guest house - it is a totally detached home (roughly 150 yards from our house) on an acequia (dating to the 1750's). Attached are pastures where the family has bailed alfalfa for many years.
What makes this property unique
An ideal location for a romantic getaway for two with quiet mountain solitude.
