The main area hosts a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and living and lounging spaces, including a cozy window seat The living room area has an L shaped couch that converts to a very comfy double bed. The bedroom features a queen-sized bed and french patio doors to view Taos mountain and morning sunrise.
The interior is contemporary and sophisticated, accented with a bit of 'Taos Zen.' Soft muted colors, carpets and artifacts from our travels around the world meets the flavor of Taos whimsy. The decor features original works from local Taos artists.

Casa Maravilla is the perfect peaceful spot for relaxing while watching the brilliant New Mexico sunsets and the millions of stars that appear in the night sky.

The setting is wonderful and the casita has a very spacious feel in the living room and kitchen for a nice little one bedroom, but again has a great rural field, and you get a nice little view of the mountains from the hot tub and even a little alpaca sightings!

Loved our stay at Casa Maravilla! Charming, warm and comfortable casita equipped with everything we needed. Location was absolutely perfect - peaceful surroundings, easy 15-20 min walk to restaurants/shops. Especially enjoyed the secluded, super clean hot tub (steps from bedroom door). Looking forward to booking again next time we visit Taos.

Great place to stay!

We loved our stay at Casa Maravilla! The hosts were very helpful and provided everything that we needed. Check in and check out was a breeze. The location is perfect to walk to and explore the Plaza, and yet far enough away to give a wonderful sense of privacy. The accommodations were as described and so very comfortable. We plan to make return trips to Taos and Casa Maravilla will be top of our list for a place to stay!

About the host

Hosted by Tara and Jean Jacques Danon

Host profile image
We enjoy a simple life here in Taos. We love the outdoors and spend a lot of time working in our organic veggie and flower garden. Cooking the food we grow and feeding our friends is our happiness. We have travelled all over the globe and truly understand what it takes to be a gracious host and a grateful guest. We believe its the small details that make a difference.

Why they chose this property

Taos is such a special place. A small town that has so much variety, so much to see and do, interesting mix of people and a unique quality of life that makes Taos a perfect and memorable vacation spot. Experience the big sky, the colors and light, stunning mountain views and the pueblo architecture that defines this part of the country. .

What makes this property unique

We live on the property in the main house, a 1938 original adobe nestled on a one acre property at the end of a private road. The casita is private and at the back. Every window boasts a pastoral view. Located just minutes to town but we feel miles away from everything. A rare lush, tree filled valley, with an ancient irrigation "acequia madre" running along the perimeter. We built the casita so our children and grandchildren will come and stay in comfort. And we also wish to offer the casita to vacationers to enjoy the many wonderful activities that Taos has to offer. The architecture of Taos is so interesting and unique. All the lovely and unusual interior accents, like 15 inch thick walls, soft archways and pigment colored plaster walls along with radiant floor heat - make your stay all the more pleasant. An extra generous covered porch ( called a portal in New Mexico) allows you to enjoy the outdoors in style. Our casita is oriented to receive solar gain and intentionally built to be cool in the summer and cozy warm in winter.
