The central location is a mere 8-minute drive from the famous Taos Plaza and a short drive to multiple area ski resorts.
**Casita Romantica is conveniently located in a beautiful area right off the main road into town. Due to the central location, some traffic noise can be present. For light sleepers, a white noise machine and a fan are provided.**
Inside: Step inside this sweet casita to reveal a spacious open floorplan. Revel in the expansive panoramic views from the living space and bedroom.

The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to stay-in and cook at home.
Enjoy Dish cable and complimentary access to the owner’s HBO Max and Prime Video accounts from the 50” TV in the living space.

Other Things to Note: There are NO PARTIES OR EVENTS ALLOWED. Registered guests only please.
The water used for your stay is sourced from a private well on the property. Due to high drought conditions, we ask for your consideration in conserving water when possible.
As with most homes in Taos, Casita Romantica is NOT equipped with A/C. The materials used to build adobe homes tend to naturally regulate temperatures, reducing the need for air cooling. Please use provided fans and open windows at night to cool the home down. Close windows and shades during the day to keep the home cool.
We are a dog friendly rental. We charge a non-refundable pet fee of $75. You can select the pet option in the same area you select guest count. If you have missed the option to add a pet to your reservation, please reach out to pay your pet fee.
Guest understands that no special efforts have been made to “childproof” the home and accepts the risk of harm to any children/infants on the property.
We highly recommend buying travel insurance. We are unable to provide a refund for anything that falls outside of our cancellation policy and the dates that correspond with the policy.
Homes in El Prado are located on large lots in the high desert. Although we hire professionals to provide pest control for insects and mice, this is a reality of the New Mexico environment. Although rare, critters occasionally find their way into homes.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Taos Overnight
This little place is a gem. It’s in a quiet location but very close to Taos plaza and shopping. Information book was helpful, very organized and thoughtful. The place is wonderfully decorated with a relaxing decor. Importantly, the mattress on the bed was great. Firm but with a soft topper. We only stayed overnight but would definitely choose this place to stay in again for a long weekend or if we are vacationing.
