About this property

Peaceful New Mexican Charm, Jacuzzi, Walk To Arroyo Seco, Pets Welcome

This special property has a lot to offer, steps from the many shops, galleries and restaurants of Arroyo Seco Village, yet in a park-like setting with tranquil gardens. Enjoy a nap or a good book in the lazy hammock hanging in the shady apple orchard, or take a walk to our local tavern, pottery shops or farm-fresh restaurants.

Our two-story territorial style home is quite cozy with both a gas and wood fireplace, and plenty of pinion, aspen and cedar firewood to choose from. Furnished in true Southwest New Mexican charm, our guests love the sunset views from the hot tub on the upper deck. This house features a comfy king-sized bed in the upstairs bedroom, as well as a full-sized Murphy bed in the downstairs living room. We keep the cupboards stocked with some food, condiments and coffee to make you stay home-like. We welcome well behaved pets.

One thing to note, the spiral staircase to the upstairs is a bit steep and spiral. A couple guests with disabilities have suggested that I note this here as a caution to those who find steep spiral staircases challenging. The vast majority of our guests have no issue with the staircase and enjoy the charm.

Arroyo Seco is a picturesque village perfectly located in the mountains half-way between the Taos ski Valley (10 minutes) and Taos (7 minutes). The village has everything needed for a relaxing and comfortable vacation, with inspired restaurants, artsy shops, and a forested, mountain setting with fruit trees and some of the most interesting people to spend some time with. Arroyo Seco offers some of the best locally made art, pottery, wool and crafts in the area, as well as, world-class skiing, gorgeous hiking, biking and cross-country trails, hot springs, streams, waterfalls, fishing, and plenty of recreational opportunities in the close area. The vibe and location cannot be beat.
Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a fireplace, and a patio.

Wonderful location, great for retreat

The property is in the heart of the village, but feels like a forest retreat.Just enough people around to not feel secluded, and to still have peace & quiet. The surroundings are peaceful, with amazing views of the sunrise, sunset, mountains, and dark night skies for star gazing on the deck, in the hot tub

Super cute casita in the heart of Arroyo Seco

This was our first time staying in Arroyo Seco and the place is as charming as the town itself! Walking distance to cute restaurants and galleries, and a short drive to Taos ski valley. The casita was clean and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay, and would definitely book here again.

Arroyo Seco had two wonderful restaurants in walking distance that we tried. Brian was a very gracious host. This place is cute, and I could see it being very nice for a family--kids downstairs and adults with a space of their own in the loft.

We really enjoyed our weekend stay. Very short walk to the stores and restaurants in Arroyo Seco and just a short drive to Taos or the ski valley. Check-in was easy and the owner, Brian, was very responsive. The home was very clean and well stocked. We appreciated being able to bring our pet along. Hope to come back again.

The Royal Bear Lodge was charming and perfect for our needs. We enjoyed our time here, especially as the snow fell.Highlights: -Hot tub was amazing after a day of snowboarding. We turned off all the lights and were able to see tons of stars at night.-Very quiet and peaceful. Though there are neighbors nearby, we still had privacy and never felt intruded on. -The host was kind and responsive. I appreciated the guide left in the living room and the note cards indicating lighting and use instructions.- If you need to go to the store or get something to eat, there's an organic market/cafe 2 doors down. -While we did not make full use of the kitchen, it was nice that there was a toaster oven/air fryer to use.-Multiple heat sources including the gas heater, wood stove, and space heaters so we were cozy. Things to consider:-The WiFi is a little spotty. I had online homework to do and had to use my husband's hotspot to finish it, so would recommend either bringing a hotspot/using your phone as a hotspot if you need to access WiFi, or plan to do work/homework somewhere else.-A small thing, but bath towels were on the shabbier side. Thankfully we had brought our own and used them primarily.- This place allows pets which is a nice perk, but we did find some tufts of animal hair in the creases of the couch and dried up dog poop on the deck, so something to consider if you have allergies or aren't fond of pets.

Charming architecture, comfortable stay!

This house is unique, cozy, charming and in an amazing location! The bed was comfy and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook a lovely dinner. After dinner we enjoyed the sunset soaking in the hot tub on the rooftop deck. In the morning, we walked literally two minutes to a delicious breakfast café with great food. We loved the property and look forward to staying here again.
