Casita Bella -clubhous pool tennis hot tub internet stream deck patio privacy
Arroyo Seco - Los Altos - Half way between Taos, NM village and Taos Ski Valley - 8 miles either direction
Casa Bella Casita / Cabin / Guest House can be rented with or without the main house. The two Taos vacation rental homes are well separated and offer a good sense of privacy from one another. Casita Bella's tree shaded deck offers a private hot tub, outdoor dining, gas grill and is perched above the "Acequia" (a stream which is part of the famous New Mexico irrigation system - recall the novel "The Milagro Beanfield War"). In addition to the shaded and private deck is a raised flagstone patio offering extended outdoor shaded living space. Although small and cozy, Casita Bella is big on value and has become "home away from home" to many repeat guests.

Excellent casita! Great location - 10 minute drive to the ski valley, 10 minute drive to town. The hot tub was very much loved by my husband and teen boys after full days of skiing. One murphy bed and two large couches. It ended up being plenty of room for the four of us, even with one bathroom.
Small space but all we needed. Enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings and appreciated the washer/dryer.The murphy bed was comfortable.Located a short drive from Rio Grande Gorge.
Nice little Casita perfect for 2. Murphy bed was very comfortable. Hot tub was great, but cooled off quick and struggled to recover. Great location if you are skiing at Taos Ski Valley.

Great location, off-the highway and minutes from skiing. We had an issue when we arrived, that was immediately resolved by the caretaker. Kudos to them for a phenomenal response. The house was generally clean and in good order; however, it could definitely use a deep clean.

We loved the cosiness of the place and the fact that it's close to the taos ski valley. We tried both the clubhouse pool and the hot tub and loved it. Our son loved the pool especially.The place was clean and as described - small kitchen and even a small dining table was a big plus.

This casita was located in a lovely neighborhood with gorgeous views of the Taos Mountains. This was a perfect place for 2 people. It was a great location for access to the trails of the mountains. After a strenuous hike to Wheeler Peak tramping through snow, the HOT TUB felt fabulous!

Dear Kathleen, It is a pleasure to work with appreciative guests. Thank you for taking the time to let others know of your satisfaction. If you have the time, it would be of great help to be informed as to the score of 3 (C) for cleanliness and 4 (B) for property condition. Our caretakers appreciate being informed as this enables them to improve quality control. We appreciate your business and your thoughtfulness. All the best to you! Sincerely, Paulette and Heather Premiere Properties Vacation Rentals and Management, LLC
We loved the rugs in the casita and the full-sized stove and fridge in the kitchenette. The washer and dryer came in handy and the gas stove made for cozy evenings. Everything we needed was there. The best part is the little deck over the stream under the beautiful trees. The neighbors are friendly and the subdivision is very quiet. The caretaker is super nice and very responsive. If you're a skier the casita is only a short drive from the ski mountain. We needed a place that took dogs and this was perfect.

The place should be clean if you charge a cleaning fee
Rough start. The couch hadn't been cleaned in months (took pics and sent to housekeeper) and I told her the hot tub looked yellow. She said she shocked it and after i sent pics she changed her tune. The property manager had her come and clean the food that had accumulated in the couch for months and reshock/replace the hot tub filter. Location is good for skiing and its quite. I would not use this property if you have over 3 people, 1 on couch and 2 in the queen bed.

Dear Carol, It is a pleasure to work with appreciative guests. Thank you for taking the time to let others know of your satisfaction and your comment about the sofa. There is a brand new wonderful sectional sofa waiting to be delivered November 10. I learned that normal sized guests prefer a sofa that is not so low and contemporary. Being short, I always found it to be a rare and comfortable sofa. So, majority wins. Come back and enjoy this new real life size wonderful sofa soon to be delivered. We appreciate your business and your thoughtfulness. All the best to you! Sincerely, Paulette and Heather Premiere Properties Vacation Rentals and Management, LLC

Reviewer Comments:
I was not able to connect to the provided internet connection throughout my stay--very disappointing. Maybe I missed it in the property description, but the bed folds out of the wall, I was expecting an actual bed. Also, a few basics like a kettle and spatula weren't to be found. Location does not provide a view of the mountains, but is nestled next to a cute stream. This is a good place to stay if you're not planning to spend much time at the house, but are rather out and about exploring Taos.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Mar 2020
Dear Jennifer, My apoligies for your disappointment with Casita Bella. The web page shows the Murphy Bed closet doors closed and the Murphy bed closet doors open. " Murphy bed" is mentioned in numerous places throughout the property amenities and narrative description. The mattress is a standard Beauty Rest pillow top Queen. There should have been a kettle for your use. A common condition with properties having a main house and a guest house in that often guests transport equipment and supplies back and forth making it difficult to keep an accurate inventory. A phone call to our office or the caretaker would have brought immediate assistance to tend to the internet issue and the missing kettle. On our web site, properties that have mountain views state the existence of a mountain view. Those that do not have mountain views are not mentioned as having mountain views. Premiere is extremely conscientious to not misrepresent amenities. I am so sorry that you were anticipating more than was offered on the web site. Should you call on Premiere for future lodging, please ask all the questions you may have or be specific regarding your wants and needs. Our highly trained staff is here to listen to your specifics and they will do all that they can to place you in your dream spot. Sincerely, Heather and Paulette

Needs bare basic updates
Stayed here nearly 12 years ago murphy bed mattress was old and rough couch was outdated and you sink in, not in a good way the rugs on the walls and especially the floors were gross but we enjoyed the area so much we decided to make back for our 30th anniversary booked 7 days for over 200 a night Thinking SURELY since so many years have gone by some updates had been made and NO update has been made, same broken down mattress same dirty sinking couch, same filthy rugs. This time nothing was stocked we had A roll of toilet paper for a 7 day stay , the dish cabinet hasn't been cleaned out in awhile there was a very ancient bottle of chili tabasco that smelled so bad and stuck in the wood we cleaned it out but the smell is there. We scoured the garage for supplies and found a locked cabinet that was unlocked thank goodness. We used the toilet paper I brought from home and town isn't across the street. The hot tub was filthy and yellow we had to amend that for two days before we could use it. Thank goodness I found those supplies in the garage for that. This stay really bummed us out. We could not sleep one single night in the same bed..we switched back and forth thats a drag on your 30th anniversary vaca week you saved a year for. Sure we are a decade older and 50 but I honestly don't see how any couple of any age could get a solid night sleep in that thing. Anyway we were hoping to re-book in a couple months unfortunately we will not be returning a 3rd time. Nice area though
