About Marci Kinney-Kadle

Hello! I am Marci, the owner of La Casita de Chocolate en Abiquiu. I am a retired school teacher having taught at TISA, Taos Integrated School for the Arts, in 2011, Abiquiu Elemmentary and various other schools in Arizona, California and New Mexico. I am a member and former secretary of RASA, the Rio Arriba Stuntmen Association, which is a small group of people inerested in promoting and maintaining the cultural and historical significance of Northern New Mexico in the Old West 1880's -1900's.

I am a mother of two sons who are in their twenties. My kids are both in college. One has just receieved his AA in Businessis and one is studying Renewable Energy, specicifically Wind Energy. Both are taking classes from the North American Wind Energy Program in Tucumcari, New Mexico. Both are artists.

I love horses and dogs, and at the moment, have a five month old puppy.

I live in Taos, but like to stay at the casita and visit my friends in Abiquiu, when it is not rented. I like to ski and ride, swim, travel, music and films. I learned how to water ski at the lake in Abiuqui.

I like to browse the library in Abiquiu and talk with the neighbors and locals, for they have so much history to share about their familes and culture.

Abiquiu is another world from Taos. They are both special, beautiful places, but the Casita in Abiquiu is estra special.

Marci Kinney-Kadle purchased this house in 2000
Why Marci Kinney-Kadle chose Abiquiu

Stepping into the kitchen of this old adobe in 1996 literally took my breath away. It smelled sweet. It looked like a wreck, 'a ruin with a roof,' but I could see major possibilities. The fact that it was in the village on a dirt road directy across form Miss O'Keeffe's intrigued me. I'm very happy to have it. Fate brought it to me.

What makes this house unique

You will get to live in the heart of Abiquiu, right on the plaza, across from Miss O'Keeffe's, the church and the library. You can experience the birds and the coolness of the yard by sitting on the outside bancos or the table and chairs. The view of Miss O'Keeffe's yard is beautiful; the space is peaceful and serene. You can see into her yard in the wintertime, but the large trees block much of the view in the summertimes. Located on Old Stage Coach Road right downtown in Abiquiu. One of the best times I ever had was running around the Plaza on horses with Guests.

A Truly Special Place of Light

Submitted: November 8, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
Dear Marci,
After years of visiting Abiquiu area , staying at different locations, I knew I wanted to find one special place to "come home" to. I've looked at your website for two years and then it was "time" to come. Thank you so much for having the "home" available for us on our own "time" to once more enjoy this truly special place of light. Miss O'Keeffe's spirit visited me several times while here ~ in a way I can't explain, but know was just right for me ~ a sister soul and spirit of the white rose. Thank you for allowing us to share this wonderful Casita.

Magical Light ~ Perfect Weekend

Submitted: November 8, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
Dear Marci: Thanks for sharing your beautiful Casita. Hope you don;t mind but we added to your collection of kitchen appliances. We brought an electric egg beater to make waffles, and the mixer decided it liked living in your house. Leaving here means I wil be able to use it when I come back again. Magical light, cozy house, perfect weekend. Thanks again! Emma, Denver

La Casita De Chocolate is located in the historical village of Abiquiu, New Mexico, right in the town center and located directly across from Georgia O'Keefe's home and studio. Not only did Marci do a beautiful restoration of this adobe home, it is tastefully well furnished, clean and very charming as Marci is herself. I had a wonderful stay and enjoyed visiting many places in the area, including Ghost Ranch, Monastery of Christ In The Desert, Plaza Blanca, Echo Amphitheater, as well as many great places to hike and enjoy the scenic views. Santa Fe is an hour drive and I enjoyed spending the day there as well. I was looking to get away from the busy crowds and find time to relax and enjoy the outdoors, and Marci's lovely home fit the bill perfectly. I look forward to coming back again.

It's extraordinarily beautiful on the inside. It's tastefully furnished with antiques and folk art. The location in the village of Abiquiu offered a glimpse of what life must have been like in the olden days. It's peaceful, quiet and private. The pure spring feed water was delicious. I highly recommend this property.
