THE LOCATION

Your Taos getaway offers a quiet setting out of town, giving you a wonderful sense of privacy and plenty of hiking trails to explore. Yet despite the secluded setting, you’re 11 miles from Taos Plaza and 12 miles from the ski area. Located in the center of Taos, this historic plaza is home to galleries, boutiques, and popular local eateries.

Drive 20 minutes to visit the historic adobe settlement of Taos Pueblo. Also within a 20-minute drive, the 900’-deep Rio Grande Gorge is worth a visit for epic views of the canyon and river below. Picnic areas surrounding the gorge offer a perfect spot for lunch. The luxurious Ojo Caliente spa is less than an hours’ drive away.

Great overall stay for the family

The property was very well appointed and clean. The location is private but convenient to the slopes and not a bad drive into town either. We will be back for years to come.

Ski Trip Stay

Beautiful, secluded property that had everything our group needed to enjoy our stay. Less than 30 minutes away from Taos Ski Valley made this location perfect for us. The hot tub was great for relaxing at the end of the day. Overall our whole group was incredibly impressed.

Beautiful home with stunning views

Loved everything about this home. Lovely southwestern style with attractive decor. Beautiful kitchen/family room, comfortable bedrooms with 2 nice bathrooms. Cute Ramada where you can grill and enjoy the outdoors. Nice hot tub. Enjoyed the 360 views and the dark skies for stargazing. We would definitely come back and stay longer next time.

Privacy and seclusion

Situated on a large lot with tons of privacy. The house is a beautiful new build with large open floor plan with great outdoor spaces including a nice grilling structure. The view from the living room is amazing. It was the perfect place to enjoy my morning coffee. The hot tub was also nice and private with great views. Totally relaxing, could want nothing more.

Amazing house!

We've stayed at many houses and this one was the best. It has everything! Clean, modern with everything you might need with an especially well stocked kitchen. Views are amazing and the hot tub was perfect. 20 min to Taos Valley and 20-25 minutes to Taos.

Fabulous! Amazing views and lovely home.

This place was exactly what we needed for a week. Location was great and close to Taos but not too close. House was super clean and they went the extra step to make sure the hot tub was ready and waiting for us! My husband was able to "work remotely" with the solid wifi. And the kitchen was stocked perfectly for a few nights of staying in. Thank you for such a great place to explore Taos, Arroyo Seco and the local sights!

Bama to NM

From the initial arrival after our two day drive from AL to NM with our 2 boxers in tow...you get the immediate sense that you have picked the perfect place to stay to experience this state. This was a great base residence for all of our adventures to experience what NM had to offer! This beautiful adobe style home was an excellent representation of all its surroundings and the culture here. If you love privacy and some remoteness this is the place to unwind and enjoy. It is beautiful inside and out with a hot tub as well. You really never even have to leave Casa Cielo to have a wonderful getaway. This property couldn't have given us a better first experience in NM. No details or provisions for a getaway are lacking here.

Lovely Ski Home

The house was excellent and was 100% as-advertised. If my group of friends/family decides we want to do Taos again, we would absolutely stay here. It was only about 4 turns and 20 minutes to/from the mountain with beautiful scenery the whole way. The only downside was being about 25-30 minutes from the larger grocery stores, but if you just need to pop out for some chips or wine there's a small, well-supplied market just 2 miles from the house. Would definitely recommend this place to Taos Ski Valley visitors!
