About this property

Casa Grande In Downtown Taos

This newly remodeled three bedroom home has it all! Tiled kitchen with new appliances is well equipped and supplied for cooking at home. I always like to say if I don't have it, you won't need it! There is a separate dining room with mountain views. The living room is large-nicely furnished and comfortable. There is a fireplace and plenty of fragrant cedar firewood provided. There are three bedrooms. Front bedroom has a queen, middle bedroom has a double and the master bedroom has a king. Each bedroom has closet space and a dresser . I provide two cozy robes in each bedroom too for lazy mornings or comfy evenings. There are two tiled full baths with soaps, shampoo/conditioner and hair dryer provided.
This home was totally remodeled in early 2016. It was quite an undertaking! All walls and kitchen cabinets were painted a warm cream. All new operable screened windows and stained trim. Tongue and groove ceilings (I stained 1300 feet of tongue and groove. Whew!) New trim tile in the blue bathroom and completely new mango bathroom.
Then the fun part, the furnishing and decorating! I furnish with my antiques and treasures from local consignment stores and estate sales. All my bedding and towels are from my favorite Company Store catalogue so all bright colors and high quality. I love original Taos art so you will find it in every room. I have a penchant for whimsy and it's here and there. I am often asked about my decorating style- I call it "Melissiana". Actually my plumber said it best when he said, "Nothing you do makes any sense, but when you are done, it all works!"
This home is located on a quiet one block dead end street. The only sounds you hear are birds, wind chimes and the church bells from Our Lady of Guadalupe a block away. There is private on site parking. A walled courtyard with big trees, lilacs offer outdoor living spaces for two and four legged guests. I was a professional landscaper in California before I moved to Taos and it is still my passion. In ground flowering plants as well as boxes decorated by me and big ceramic pots full of color are everywhere.
There are two outdoor living areas in front. To the left of the front gate there is a vintage glider and to the right a table and six comfortable chairs as well as a large BBQ grill. There is an additional outdoor living area off the master bedroom in the back.
As with all ten of my properties Casa Grande is pet friendly.
This home is actually part of a fourplex compound. I live in one of the little casitas so am always available to answer any questions. There are also two additional casitas that I rent for short term visits. Casa azul (Vrbo 797997) And Casa Verde (Vrbo 920144). Each have living/dining, tiled baths and queen bedrooms. Each also have private walled courtyards. Often guests rent the compound for large groups. I can sleep up to ten guests on this property..
There is a central laundry room available for all my guests and on site parking.
Casa Grande is located on a quiet, one block dead end street and is only three blocks from Taos Plaza.
This downtown compound was featured on the 2017 Taos Home & Garden Tour where on a Saturday in August 500 tour goers had a chance to check out my style. Too much fun!!!
If this home is booked for your dates please look at Vrbo 482097 another of my downtown homes which also offers three bedrooms and two baths.

Comfortable stay in Taos

The home was comfortable. My friend and I were able to spread out, each had our own bed and bathroom. Being able to do laundry there was a bonus! It was located very close to downtown Taos. I would stay here again.

Really cool place!

We had a great time at Melissa's house! There was plenty of room for us to all hang out, but also have our private space. The fireplace and repository of pinon wood was a very pleasant and welcome surprise, and the courtyard was a great place for two dogs to get their ya-yas out. And downtown is just a few minutes walk away. Thanks for having us!

Cozy Place near Taos Plaza

3 bed / 2 bath / full kitchen. It was wonderful having all the extra space to spread out. It was very close to the thick of things and was able to walk from the house to the square as well as Bent St shops. Highly recommend property and location. Place was clean and furnished well.

Great House For Our Taos Visit

No surprises. It was a clean very comfortable New Mexico style house. Give the hot water a couple of extra minutes to make it to the shower - it will get there and is very nice.Probably should repair that slow leak under the bathroom sink. The catch bowl was really full when we arrived but we dumped it out.

Great spot!

A few friends and I came to Taos to do some hiking. The place was fantastic! Close to downtown Taos and all the restaurants. Nice quiet neighborhood too. The site was great with all the expected amenities. We had a chance to meet Joy, the site manager. She was so pleasant and great to talk to. At check-in, I misplaced my code, but Melissa was so prompt in setting me up with my number. I would recommend this place to anyone who visits Taos and is looking for a top-notch location!

Peaceful base for Taos exploration

We reached out to the owner when we had a key issue and she responded immediately. Kitchen was easy to cook in. Beds comfortable. Enjoyed the decorations. Very quiet and was able to see stars at night :) close to grocery and a walk to the plaza. Quick drive to Taos Pueblo .

Charming, comfortable house in great location

This is a lovely place that’s well set-up for group gatherings. The location is awesome: within easy walking distance to the Taos Plaza and very safe feeling. The place was clean inside. The outdoor area, while a great space, needs a more thorough cleaning. We reported a noisy running toilet that wasn’t fixed during our stay. Overall, though, it’s a great place.

Great Location - Beautiful, Quiet and Comfortable Stay

Location is as described, just a few blocks from the plaza. Colorful, artistic decor creates a homey vibe. My family of 6 enjoyed our stay, and marveled at how quiet it was so close to a lot of activity. Beds were comfortable, interior clean and tidy. We didn't use the kitchen so I can't attest to how stocked it was. Beautiful home.

It’s adequate

The property is spacious and was good for the 6 of us. Location to the plaza was great. However, it needs a deep cleaning. Curtain in dining room falling off wall, kitchen is awkward and could be better supplied. Tubs need to be cleaned and re-caulked. Water pressure comes and goes. Blue bathroom shower curtain needs to be replaced because it’s dirty. Towel rack closest to tub falling off wall. Living room chairs and sofa in need of deep cleaning and repair. The notes left by Melissa were overwhelming and would have been more useful in a renters book (we didn’t find one). Should we take out thrash (we did) should we recycle (we did) don’t use lotion or oil (we didn’t). Should we strip the beds? (We did) we also ran a load of towels after asking what we needed to do before we left. The beds were comfy! Patio chair cushions were ripped. Will we come back? Don’t know.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa /Taos mgr.

Host profile image
I moved to Taos 11 years ago from Marin County California where I was a professional landscaper and raised my three children as a single mom. When they were grown and gone I wanted to move to a more authentic area and chose Taos. I started buying homes and fixing them up and realized I loved doing. I started renting them on VRBO and love everything about it!

Why they chose this property

As they say Location, Location, Location! Three blocks from the Plaza in the Taos Historic District, private walled courtyards and lots of off street parking. Plus I like the challenge of renovating neglected properties and a chance to collect furniture, whimsy and expand my local Taos art collection.

What makes this property unique

Privacy,location and personality. The two small casitas on this property are perfect for one-two guests and this main home Casa Grande sleeps six.
