Epic Vacation

Kitty's Casitas was absolutely perfect for us. Close to the ski area but off the beaten path which made it nice and quiet. The layout was wonderful, the place was clean, cozy and had everything we needed. Especially the hot tub! Our aching muscles really needed it after a day on the mountain. We are planning our next trip as I type this. I'd give 10 stars if they were there to give. Thank you so much for allowing us yo enjoy your place in paradise.

Perfect location

Loved being slightly down the mountain and close to the charming town of Arroyo Seco for a dinner or grocery trip. Hot tub was a great perk after a day on the slopes, and the home is lovingly tended to. Glad we had 4 wheel drive on a wet day as the road gets a bit boggy but was perfect spot for us to ski by day and relax by night!

The most adorable Casita

The house was perfect! The location was great, so close to the ski slopes and to the cute little town Arroyo Seco! The Hot tub was a perfect way to end a long day on the slopes! The Dogs Guido and Ellie were SO sweet, my son looked forward to seeing them everyday when they came for a visit. Kitty was super sweet and so helpful, replied to my questions so quickly. We will be coming back next year! ❤️

Great romantic getaway just minutes from Taos and Skiing

Kitty’s place was cozy and very well stocked with supplies...blankets, toiletries, kitchen utensils, etc. We loved the hot tub out on the deck and used it every day. Our 2 small dogs had a great time exploring the fenced yard. What a beautiful house it is and so remote- feeling yet just minutes away from tons of restaurants, bars, Taos and the Taos Ski Valley. The house has a sleeper sofa as well as a loft bed upstairs. The stairs were fine for us but a little steep for the dogs. I think if older folks were staying here it might be good to have some anti-slip backing or paint on them. Lots of windows and great natural light through the whole house. Internet was fine for checking email and surfing Web. Had a wonderful time!

Peaceful and pastoral

We had a great week staying at Kitty's, enjoying the beautiful location and cozy ambiance of the casita. Loved stargazing from the hot tub after a long hike and too much dinner! Also had fun playing fetch with Guido, the resident Lab. (as former lab owners) Great spot and very attentive hostess! Enjoy!

Perfect Stay

From the welcome visit by Guido, the black lab ambassador, to the split of Gruet sparkling wine from Kitty, our arrival after a long day of driving was a delight. The casita has a carport to protect your vehicle, a hot tub, and all of the items you need to have a relaxing stay. Our dog, Tucker, especially liked the fenced-in, grassy casita yard, surrounded by an even larger fenced-in, grassy main yard. The loft bedroom is cozy and charming. A great place to stay near Taos.

Great dog friendly adobe in Arroyo Seco

Rented Kitty's casita from Aug. 5th - 8th of this year. The pictures looked great and the actual rental, even better. The adobe casita sits on the back of Kitty's property and is very private. Large fenced in yard for our dogs, they loved it. The hot tub was a great way to chill and relax after a long day. The main level consists of the living area and kitchen with the bathroom around the side hallway where there is a large closet for hanging clothing as well as shelves. The stairs up to the bedroom area are rather steep, and the dogs did not want to venture up. The bedroom , which is a loft is very comfortable with plenty of storage in the dresser. The area surrounding the adobe is very quiet and peaceful. It is just a short 2 mile drive into Arroyo Seco, and Taos is just another easy 9 mile drive down the road. We thought we had made a mistake staying so far out of Taos, but it ended up being the main reason we will return again. Thank you Kitty for letting stay in your casita, we will be returning soon.

Paradise in Arroyo Seco

The nine days I spent at Kitty's Casita in Arroyo Seco (5 miles outside of Taos) were thoroughly delightful---everything I'd hoped for in a 'retreat' and base for reconnecting with the magic of Taos after 22 years away. Kitty was a wonderful host; I especially appreciated her thoughtfulness in checking to see whether I was home before mowing the lawn or bringing in a service person. She was both friendly and respectful of my privacy. The Casita itself is darling and lovingly tended. Clean, comfortable, well- appointed, and with cooling shade trees in the backyard. The new hot tub was great--though I will say it would have been preferred had the heating element not run nearly perpetually; personally, I much prefer the lovely quiet of the surrounding area, sans hot tub noise! Just my preference. The only other 'heads up' to an otherwise glowing and appreciative stay ( and review) is that the steps to the sleeping loft are very (!) steep; wise to hold both of those hand rails and not to try to carry too many things up/ down at a given time. All-in-all, I HIGHLY recommend Kitty's Casita; it was tough to leave and I look forward to returning!

Very Cozy! Very Lovely! I didn't want to LEAVE.

I loved this property. Very private. Though I stayed in the Winter I could tell the grounds must be quite special in the growing season given the number of planting beds. Kitty even gave us a jar of homemade peach jam!!! for her yard. The place was perfect in every way. If something needed attention it was done right away!!! The pilot blew out on the water heater and within a few minutes it was re-lit for us. Will stay again. Thanks Kitty!

We keep coming back!

This was the 4th or 5th time we've stayed at Kitty's. The location is excellent. The casita is cozy and warm. Our dogs love the stay as much as we do and have become friends with Kitty's Labs. Kitty is always very helpful if we need anything. The view from the bedroom window is awesome....less than a half mile from the base of El Salto, with Taos Mountain directly south. Arroyo Seco, the little village a mile a way looks like something you might see in the Alps, and there's ALWAYS something to do in Taos. Every year I attend at least 2 or 3 concerts.

Gorgeous Views, Quiet and Peaceful!!

This rental is so charming. We were there in late October when the Aspens and Cottonwoods turn golden/yellow glowing wonderful. Waking to the golden light was so magical. There is a great gas grill and we had some of our meals out on the deck looking at the mountains which already had some snow on them. Great place! We plan on returning.

Great Anniversary Get Away

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Kitty's Casita, and we will treasure our memories there! Her rental is brimming with charm; it's a cozy adobe casita filled with tasteful southwestern decor and everything you need for a great stay. For those who want to cook in, the kitchen is stocked with coffee filters, spices, oil, and plenty of cooking utensils. The yard is a fantastic escape with mountain views and a hot tub. The bedroom is a cozy loft with great views. Just note that the stairs up to it are quite steep. But if that isn't an issue for you, this is truly the perfect vacation spot. We adored it!

Beautiful property!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Kitty's Casita! :) The property is beautiful! We didn't want to leave! It is located outside of downtown Taos, and we loved the proximity to the mountains. So peaceful and such gorgeous views! We also appreciated the fenced in yard; our dog loved it! There are great local restaurants, and plenty of things to do in the area (shop, hike, sight-see, explore the culture)! We would definitely return to Kitty's Casita. :)

Cozy and Beautiful

My partner and I come to Taos every May and this rental is the best place we've ever stayed. It's just perfect: Quiet and beautiful and very private and cozy. We loved sipping coffee in the hottub in the morning and listening to birds. The back yard is spacious and tranquil and the view of the mountain from the loft bedroom is really something to wake up to! We really didn't want to leave to "do" anything in Taos. Plus, Arroyo Seco is simply charming and close by. We managed to stop by Sol Natural Food Market once a day for supplies--healthy things and gourmet items. And if we felt like eating out, there's Aceq. Wonderful place. Thank you.

Can't Wait to Come Back!

I absolutely loved staying in Kitty's Casita. It was exactly was I was looking for, quiet, private, removed, but still a very close drive to anything we could possibly need. Great for a romantic getaway and some R & R, was so glad we could bring our four legged friend too. Kitty is very accommodating and provided some great suggestions. Some of my favorites are the Chow Shack for a quick and easy morning breakfast burrito, and Orlando's for dinner. Also if you are into breweries, you MUST check out Taos Mesa Brewing. Great beer and great views. We loved every minute of our stay here, and I do hope to return soon. Thank you Kitty, for sharing your lovely home.

Kitty, Guido, and Luigi's Casita

This casita near the small village of Arroyo Seco and close to Taos is a lovely getaway. It's peaceful, quiet, and perfect for enjoying the night sky. The casita has a privacy fence which makes it seem even more secluded. The casita is well-maintained and has been carefully decorated with unique items that have a southwest flavor--many of which appear to be from local artists. The casita is comfortable and homey. While the loft bedroom takes a couple of trips up and down to get used to, eventually it becomes a part of the casita that it special. The home owner is gracious and welcoming--a bottle of wine and fresh flowers were unexpected touches. And, of course, there are Guido and Luigi, the wonderful black Labs that are very "people friendly." The next time we plan to be in the Taos area, we'll arrange our schedule so that we can stay here. We highly recommend it.

Great for Star Viewing

We had a great time at the Casita. The Hot tub and deck chairs were great for viewing the Perseid meteor shower. Very quiet and private with our own fenced yard. We also enjoyed meeting Kitty's dogs, they were super friendly. We also recommend ACEQ for dinner, and Taos Cow is great for sandwiches and Ice cream.

5 Stars are NOT enough!!! We give it 10!!!!

My husband and I just got home (back to NYC) from Kitty's Casita and we are already thinking about going back next month! This casita is MAGICAL!!! If you are looking to check into a dream and leave inspired, transformed and blissed out….look no further. This TOTALLY private dream like dwelling has everything you need. Breaktaking views from all windows, well maintained outdoor hot tub, beautiful outdoor flowers, bbq, authentic stone floors and rugs, full kitchen (with all you need to cook up a great meal), cozy couch TV watching area and very very clean!!! The casita is close enough to walk into the unique, whimsical town of Arroyo Seco (which I did every morning to get my coffee at the Taos Cow or a green juice at the Natural Food Market.) Our plan was only to stay for one night and after spending one hour at the casita we entended our trip to stay 4 more days…and that was too short! On top of all the magical beauty and comfort that fills the home, Kitty and Joe are THE BEST hosts, starting with their welcoming bouquet of flowers, suggesting the best local spots to eat and their authentic love of their property is purley contagious! The home is perfect to expereince the magic of Arroyo Seco and only 10 minutes to the heart of Tao's town center. We hiked (so many amazing hikes nearby) or white water rafted during the days, took late afternoon hot tubs/naps and then headed out to delicious restaurants (ACEQ was our favorite located less than 5 minutes from the casita..we actually ate there twice it was so good!). Although, we traveled as a couple, I would also recommend this for a single traveler (a great place to finish your novel, work of your painting or find yourself again). While Kitty and Joe allow you maximum privacy, it feels nice to know they are down the driveway in their lovely home. As a couple who travels to some of the top hotels around the world, we give this the highest raves for an authentic, dream-like vacation!

Place to relax

This is a great place to stay if you want to relax, if you want to go to town or if you want to engage in several different sports activities. We chose to relax, and it worked great. The casita is far enough from town to feel open, but close enough to town to go shopping or eat at any of the myriad of restaurants.
