Casa Verde, the Casita Center

This casita is located on a quiet one block dead end street just three blocks from the Plaza. It has a living / dining room combination. The dining table seats four and looks out at the rear courtyard garden. The living room area has a loveseat sofa sleeper with all bedding available. Good gel foam mattress. There is a wood burning kiva fireplace in the corner of the living room. Fragrant cedar firewood is provided for guests. Screened operable windows throughout the casita provide nice ventilation in summer. Each of the three exterior doors are screened. The living room and bedroom have ceiling fans. Enjoy a mountain view from the front living room window and a garden view from the dining area. The well equipped kitchen has everything you might need for meals at home. The tiled counter tops are just plain fun! The full bathroom with tub/shower combination is also newly tiled and well equipped. There is a queen bedroom with good reading lights, dresser and closet space with robes provided. This casita has total privacy since it is surrounded by a tall stucco wall.The courtyard is landscaped with in ground plants and also big ceramic pots with seasonal color. Large trees shade this area nicely in the summer and the shade structure provides long season outdoor living. The patio has table and chairs and a BBQ. There is also a cushioned bench under an elm tree for relaxing. A large number of my whimsical recycled garden art pieces are displayed throughout the courtyard. As with all my properties Casa Verde is dog friendly and when the front gate is closed your dog has a nice outdoor space. I provide dog sheets for sofa and bed as well as mutt mitts for clean up. I do charge $10 per dog per night which may be left behind at departure.
Casa Verde is part of a compound. Each of the three units may be rented separately of course or the entire compound may be rented and will sleep up to twelve guests.
There is off street parking for each unit. On the property is also a laundry room for guest use.
This downtown compound was featured on the 2017 Taos Home & Garden Tour. On a Saturday in August 500 tour goers had a chance to check out my style. A fun day indeed!
If Casa Verde is booked for your dates please look at Casa Azul on the same property Vrbo 797997.

Would Stay Here Again

This very nice and comfortable casita is only a few blocks from the historic plaza. We were able to walk to most places around the center of town. The bed was comfortable and had a mattress warmer which was nice since we were here in February. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much.

A Treat of a Retreat

I loved the bright interior due to large windows and skylights. The well stocked kitchen meant I didn't have to eat meals out. All-in-all a comfortable stay.

I loved this place! So cozy. It was just what we wanted. The casa is a short walk to the plaza. I loved that it was dog friendly and the little yard is so great! Thank you for a great stay.

Cute Property

The property was super well located - close to town or to get out of town. Liked the casa - nothing fancy, just simple decor. Price was right. Worked for my husband and I for a quick Denver getaway!

Melissa has an amazing property that is centrally located, so day trips by foot are a snap. We spent ample times soaking up the sun in the back garden, while enjoying Taos. We will be back.

A gem

This property is exactly as advertised and even more lovely than the pictures suggest. We stayed during the winter when it was cold and snowy and loved it. I bet the private yard area is absolutely stunning during the warm months!

We loved this little casita! It is very functional and charming. Melissa made sure that our every need was met! We will definitely be back. As my husband state, "I could live here!" It's a short walk to the plaza but very quiet. We loved it!

We loved the casita and would use it again. lt’s well decorated and equipped with a surprisingly large living room, kitchen and bedroom. The casita also has a private backyard and patio. The casita would be very comfortable for longer stays. We’ll be back

Casa verde

The property manager was amazing to work with and this place is super cute and in a great location… We actually loved it. The only feedback I would have is it needs some pretty updated cleaning. There was lots of dust, bunnies spiderwebs hair on the floor… But I would definitely stay there again it just needs to be cleaned.

Spring Break 2023

Property was great for us (myself and adult daughter). Walking distance to lots of shopping and activities. It was cold (temps in the 20s and 30s), but the unit was warm and cozy. We will return for a longer visit in the summer/fall.
