About this property

An ideal quiet getaway perfectly located between downtown and Taos Ski Valley

The Chattadoe House (formerly known as the Can-Tina la Casa) sits on over an acre of land off of the prestigious Blueberry Hill. This unique Taos getaway is the perfect quiet vacation setting for all four seasons, ideally situated between downtown Taos and the Taos Ski Valley. With 360-degree panoramic views of open mesa lands and the Sangre De Cristo Mountains, you’ll feel like you’re surrounded by a famous painted landscape.

We consider this our second home and hope you feel the same peace and warmth here that we do. Upon entering, discover a gorgeous interior defined by southwestern wood elements, from the viga ceilings and wood flooring to the arches that separate the main gathering areas. Admire the postcard vistas as you relax in the living room or share meals and play games in the chandelier-lit dining area.

THE PRIMARY BEDROOM (Bedroom 1) offers a king bed with an in-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, Kiva fireplace (candles only for ease, convenience & safety).

THE GUEST ROOM (Bedroom 2) has a king bed that can be transformed into 2 twin beds if requested.

THE FRONT BEDROOM (Bedroom 3) hosts a daybed and trundle offering 2 twin beds. This room is best suited for children or adults who are happy to bunk up in a small space.

ADDITIONAL SLEEPING arrangements can be made with 2 pull out queen sofas located in the living room as well as the sunroom/office located off of the primary bedroom (complete with its own AC). Please note that there is no door to close off of the primary bedroom and this room will share the primary bath.

All bedrooms are complete with high-quality linens, thoughtful art and a calming atmosphere.

**Please note that the living room was designed to be a mini “sunken living room” and consequently there is a step down/up from the living room to the entry way, dining area, bedrooms and out the backdoor. Not ideal for anyone with mobility issues.

Watch the sunrise with your morning coffee on the back covered patio and enjoy al fresco dinners near the wood-burning outdoor kiva fireplace on the patio off of the dining room. Don’t miss the clear starry night view from the hot tub, it’s something you won’t want to miss!

The Chattadoe welcomes you in and asks you to stay a while. You’ll instantly feel that warm welcome as you walk through the door. It’s homey, clean, minimal… everything about it just feels right. It’s a place to recharge, relax, gather, laugh, breathe, sit, listen. A place you’ll instantly feel at home. it’s calm and inviting. It’s the slow you didn’t know you were craving. It’s not showy or needy. It’s bright and unruffled. It’s still and untroubled. It’s thoughtful and warm.

**If more space is needed, there is an optional guest house next door which is a studio with 2 queen beds. You may look for our listings Chattadoe Casita which is the guest house or Chattadoe Compound which is the combination of the main and guest house.**

While we might look like a new listing, that's actually not the case! After working with a property management company for the last year, we've decided to manage the property ourselves. Here's what past travelers have said (*listings were under prior management company and property manager during review*):

"We’ve stayed at a lot of VRBOs and this was the best experience we’ve had. The house is lovely and well appointed, with little features (like a bluetooth speaker) that make things even more comfortable. The two outdoor fire pits and hot tub were definitely positives, it was amazing to sit in the hot tub and watch the stars. Almost every night was clear enough to see the Milky Way and half a dozen shooting stars. The master bedroom was enormous and had a private entrance/exit to the back patio, which was nice, and the property manager was responsive and polite. The house is a little off the beaten path from Taos, it was maybe 10-15 minutes to the plaza, but the quietness of the neighborhood was great and we didn’t mind being a little closer to Taos Ski Village where we spent a day. All in all we had a great stay, we’d come back here in a heartbeat."
5 Stars from Allen F. July 12, 2023

"Great property with gorgeous views and outdoor patios. We’ll be back!"
5 Stars from Abraham M. Sep 19, 2023

"House is as described. Great location, quiet and comfortable!"

Once you're booked and ready to go, we'll put you in touch with our Caretaker (or as we like to say, our extended Taos family member) who will be your go-to during your stay.

Check-in is 4PM and Check-out is 10AM. Please let us know if alternative arrangements are needed and we will try to accommodate to the best of our ability. The House is equipped with electronic deadbolts that will issue a fresh code for each new booking. For the security of our guests and the safety of the property, an external security camera is located on the front porch, parking pad and backyard.

Please note that the property does not allow pets and if this is violated, an additional $500 will be charged to cover the cost of a deep clean to allow the space to be an allergy-friendly listing.

Beautiful quiet area & a home w excellent kitchen!

We came to NM to ski and relax. This home was very close to the slopes. The kitchen was well-appointed— which was important as we cook a lot of meals at home!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Originally from Austin, TX, we've lived all over the United States and hold a deep love for the Mountains. Travel means so much to our family and it means the world to us to be able to share our home away from home with you.

Why they chose this property

The Chattadoe property allows you to feel far away from the tourist scene, but close enough to be a part of the action if you'd like. You're 10 minutes from downtown Taos and an easy 20 minutes from Taos Ski Valley.

What makes this property unique

The property still holds its Southwest charm, but we've updated a few things to make it a bit brighter and lighter. We hope you feel the love we've put into it. It's really something special.
