Welcome to Casa de Rufina! Extensively remodeled in 2020 and full of your favorite amenities, this beautiful Arroyo Seco home boasts sweeping views of El Salto Mountain and Canyon. Ideal for your next family vacation, this lovely home is located mere minutes away from the quaint town of Arroyo Seco. When you aren't exploring the town's eateries, check out the Millicent Rogers Museum, Kit Carson Park, Taos Country Club, and the Taos Art Museum at Fechin House. Further up the road, winter recreation can be indulged in at Sipapu Ski & Summer Resort, as well as, at Angel Fire Resort.
Uniquely beautiful, the interior of Casa De Rufina features wood finishes, comfortable furnishings, and carefully curated mementos.

A gas grill is also available outside if you'd prefer to barbecue.
Your own haven of peace, the primary bedroom has excellent perks like a jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower, and in-room fireplace. The additional rooms are just as cozy with their soft linens and pops of color. Also inside, you'll find a private washer/dryer, board games, and internet access.
As the sun begins to fall over the mountains beyond, head outside, gather around the firepit, and watch the sunset's orange, pink, and yellow hues flood the sky.

Fun in Taos
Overall this was a great spot for our family of 4. We had plenty of space and the house was comfortable. It would have been nice if there were some humidifiers provided and we did find a couple of dirty dishes in the cabinet. But nothing that wasn't easily fixed. Would rent this spot again.

Beautiful Property
House / property is immaculate, well stocked with everything but food.
One of the top cleanest homes we have stayed in over the last 20 years of coming to the area. We would love to rent this house again.
