About this property

Casita Juliet in Taos, New Mexico

Casita Juliet has it all for the single traveler or couple. Located on a quiet, downtown street and short walk to Taos Plaza. It is a one bedroom (Queen) little home with a well equipped kitchen, separate eating area, large living room. It is decorated in my style of antiques, art and whimsy.
Casita Juliet has all appliances, dishes and kitchenware, towels and bedding in a charming intimate yet roomy little house. Ceiling fans in bedroom and living room as well as screened windows and door for summer visits. Electric baseboard heaters in all rooms insure cozy winter stays. It has two outdoor living areas and of course a ridiculous number of plants--a signature of mine...Washer/dryer in utility room.
Although there are two homes on this property, both have a feeling of privacy with separate off street parking, garden and outdoor living spaces.
Casita Juliet can also be combined with the main house 'Casa Madre' as a family compound for a larger group of up to 10.
As with all of my properties Casita Juliet is pet friendly. $100 per stay per dog to add at time of booking. Dog sheets provided for sofa and bed. Mutt mitts for clean up. Front area is fenced so your small dog can spend time with you on front patio/portal. I offer a generous 30% discount for stays over 30 days.
If Casita Juliet is booked for your dates, please look at vrbo 797997 (Casa Azul) or Vrbo 920144 (Casa Verde) which are also downtown one bedroom casitas.
Please note Casita Juliet can be booked with Vrbo 482097 on the same property for larger groups.

We enjoyed our stay at Casita Juliet. We appreciate the location, close to the plaza and the Taos Mesa Brewery. Also, we were able to go to Bandelier National Monument which is only 1 1/2 hours from Taos.The water pressure was great in the shower, but be aware that the hot water runs out if not careful.The space at the casita was great with a well stocked kitchen.

We enjoyed our stay at Casita Juliet. The location was great for us. We could easily walk to the plaza and also, a favorite brewery, Taos Mesa Brewery. Also, we went to Bandelier National Monument which is only an hour and a half from Taos.Onsite parking was a plus. We liked having the space in the casita and a well stocked kitchen. Great water pressure in the bathroom, but be careful because the hot water can run out.Overall, a great place to stay.

Excellent location central to everything and close to the plaza. Quiet at night. Host was very responsive and flexible about allowing pets traveling with me. The tiny yard was great for quick doggy potty breaks. Great to have laundry in-unit and the heated mattress pad was a nice touch in winter.

About the host

Host profile image
Some women collect shoes or husbands. I seem to collect houses! I love buying old adobes, renovating them, furnishing and decorating then turn them into hugely popular vacation rentals

Casita Juliet is my fifth home and has a wonderful story. This casita is part of a downtown compound and like the big house on the property (VRBO #482097) was in foreclosure for two years. I saw the potential of this property and am lucky enough to have a mother who at age 96 wanted to do something for me while she was still here to be part of it. I bought the two houses on this property in February 2013 and got to work. Casa Madre (the bigger house) was finished in June and has proven to be a very popular rental.

Casita Juliet while on the same property has a wonderful sense of privacy. It is separated from Casa Madre by two over the top garden areas, a latilla fence and has it's own private parking area. It is named for my dear friend Juliet who once lived there and is my garden helper and housekeeper.

I love all five of my properties, but Casita Juliet is very special to me.

Why they chose this property

As I said earlier I do love buying old adobes, bringing them back to life and making improvements along the way.

I fell in love with this property long before I bought it. I was friends with the owner and a fellow yard sale fanatic. When it came up for sale in a foreclosure I told my mom about it and as they say, the rest is history.

What makes this property unique

Casita Juliet is a 1000 sq. ft. complete little house for one person or a couple The remodel was fairly gruesome since it entailed removing the roof and raising the ceilings. The original ceilings were only a little over 6' and I'm 5'11' myself. Now the rooms are open and inviting, cozy, but not crowded, decorated with my antiques, art and sense of whimsy throughout. I saved what was charming and unique and repaired or replaced what was just not right or did not appeal to me.

The kitchen is small, but well equipped. There is a separate eating area, and a utility room with a washer/dryer.

There are two delightful, private outdoor areas under portals for dining or just relaxing. AND this property is just, a short walk to the downtown Plaza through a nice, historic neighborhood.

I am a plant lover and in summer Casita Juliet is a garden wonderland with in ground plants and flowering pots everywhere.

Another advantage to Casita Juliet is that combined with the main house Casa Madre and the Bunk House (so much fun!) this property can be a family compound and sleep 12.

It is also fenced and pet friendly for small dogs. $10 per night per dog to leave at departure. Dog sheets provided for sofa and bed and I ask guests to clean up outside.

Please note: even if my calendar shows a reservation for your requested dates, contact me. I have 11 listings on Vrbo a Everything from one and two bedroom apartments to one, two and three bedroom homes, condos and even family compounds. I can find a rental for you!!!
