Description of the Taos vacation house rental

Pilar Casita is located in the canyon of the Rio Grande at the base of Picuris Mountains. This rural village is 20 minutes south of Taos and an hour’s drive from Santa Fe. We are an hour’s drive from 4 popular New Mexican ski areas. Pilar is also a destination site for birders, rock climbers, kayakers, and other outdoor enthusiasts. Archaeologists and geologists regularly visit the area to explore cultural sites and rock formations. Artists set up their easels along the riverbanks trying to capture the rich colors and dramatic landscapes of Pilar. Our casita is a small adobe house with a screened veranda overlooking the river. The casita features an open living/dining area, modern kitchen, 1½ bathrooms, a gear/utility room with washer and dryer, and two comfortable bedrooms. Brick floors, kiva fireplace, hand-crafted furniture, and artistic touches give our casita a cozy, New Mexican appeal. We are adjacent to the Rio Grande Orilla Verde Recreation Area.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Taos, New Mexico

Spring/Summer Conditions: Spring /Summer in Pilar can be the best time to visit. The spring snow runoff is very good this year. There is daily river rafting on two nearby river runs with class 1 to 4 rapids. Pilar is the site of the 'Race Course River Run' which runs along highway 68. Later in the summer, the Rio Grande and nearby mountain creeks offer some of the best fly fishing in the state. There are numerous hiking and mountain bike trails in the Taos/Pilar area that allow you to experience high altitude desert to mountain alpine environments.

Location Details: The casita is located at the end of a private cul-de-sac about 600 feet from the river. It is bordered by BLM land on two sides and is surrounded by mixed conifer trees that offer peace and privacy. This is a rental by owner. We live next door, 200 feet away, and we are happy to assist visitors with any details regarding their trip to the Taos area.

Guest Book: A short email we received from a guest family... Hello Bruce! We wouldn’t like to miss the opportunity to communicate how happy we have been spending a week at your great place. Your rental property is just perfect for a quiet family vacation in a very appealing environment. Although a bit outside Taos, it is still so easy to reach the attractions of the area! You are a great host and all of us very much appreciated your hospitality! We found a well equipped, clean and tastefully furnished house, which provides a pleasant living space in- and outside. We couldn’t have found a better place anywhere! Bruce, don’t hesitate to pass on our email address, if visitors like to get an unbiased view of your place. We just can only say the best as it is just fact! We wish you many more glad visitors, and successful business for your wonderful place! Best regards, Vern and Barbara tinyworld3@gmail.com
