Photos and Description of the Taos Ski Valley vacation chalet rental
Chalet, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-3)

This little home is beautifully furnished and the best kept secret get away in Taos. The house has a latilla fenced yard with lovely gardens and private parking, on a dead end road in one of the quietest areas in Arroyo Seco. Centrally located between Taos Plaza and Taos Ski Valley, it is a great home base for all the sights and activities in our beautiful area.

The Casita has a gourmet kitchen furnished with lots of spices and basics plus all the accoutrements including French press, blender, microwave, and both gas and charcoal grills. The living area is attached with a comfy daybed and lots of pillows plus a trundle for sleeping downstairs if you don't feel like going up to the queen loft with gorgeous views of the mountains and even a waterfall! The little sundeck off the bedroom is always the best place to catch some rays, and the beds are bamboo and 600 count cotton sheets with down comforters and pillows. There are 2 TV's, one in the bedroom and a large screen in the living area, plus a stereo-CD-tape player and free WI-FI. There is a big deck with a hot tub, and a few reading nooks under the shade trees in your quiet fenced yard.

There are lovely roads to walk or bike ride from your door, and its only 2 or 3 miles into the charming village of Arroyo Seco with great coffee shops, dining and shopping and even a little grocery store. For bookings over 2 weeks we provide maid service after the 14th day. The serenity and privacy make this an exceptional place to relax and rejuvenate.

About The Owner

My husband Joe and I have lived in Taos for over 30 years and love it!

The Owner purchased this chalet in 1991
Why The Owner chose Taos Ski Valley

I built this little casita in Taos just before my mother died in 1991. I wanted a small private cozy house that was easy to maintain in a quiet area, its really a dream come true!

What makes this chalet unique

One of the best qualities of this property is the views and the quiet of the area. The property sits on 1 and a half acres, and because we are in a very rural area the stars at night are unimaginable, and really wonderful to enjoy from the warmth of the hot tub, even on very chilly nights (as long as you don't get your hair wet!)

Wonderful and reviving experience in the high desert

We spent a week in the casita just as ski sason was winding down and spring was beginning. It was absolutely perfect. Kitty is a womderful host who is there when you need her and provides very useful local information. We especially enjoyed the beauty and quiet of the casita itself, nestled in the mountains as well as the proximity to Arroyo Seco. The walk on the backroads to town was wonderful. The casita and its surrounds are even more beautiful than indicated in the photos. The proximity to hiking, downhill, and cross country skiing as well as to the wonders of Taos are additional assets. We cannot wait to return.

Kitty's Casita was a wonderful little weekend getaway for us. Kitty was very accomadating and friendly. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood with our labradoodle and she loved the fenced in yard, especially the bird feeder corner. The hot tub was in a perfect location and relaxing. We enjoyed some wonderful meals indoors and out. Even though it is still winter the south facing deck was warm and the views fantastic. The interior is nice and comfortable with just about everything you need to have a nice time. The upstaris bedroom was cool to view the moon thru the window while lying in bed, then watch the sun come up over the mountain... perfect. The only thing I would change is the gas grill. It was outdated and very unusual. We hope to come back for a longer stay. We did see the waterfall too! Thank you Kitty and Co.

Owner's Response: Thanks for your thoughtful review, Cindi and Andrew. We enjoyed having you and hope you will remember us for your next visit to Taos.
As I told you when I mailed back your lost items ( including Maya's favorite toy! ) we are looking at new gas grills as well.
Take care!

When we heard there was a great snow fall my husband knew we had to get to Taos, his favorite ski mountain. I remembered seeing Kitty's Casita on VRBO and suggested we see if it was available for us and our dog Joe. It was! Kitty was a doll to work with. We booked her adorable place for a 4 day family get away. When we arrived we were met by Elizabeth at near by Arroyo Seco. She guided us to Kitty's. Elizabeth was extremely friendly and helpful in getting us all set up. The Casita is even cuter than the pictures. Our dog, Joe was in heaven in the fully enclosed snow covered yard. We loved being so close to the ski resort and small town of Arroyo Seco yet still out in the peace, privacy and quiet of this special property. The casita has everything you could want for a cozy retreat. The design elements, light streaming through the windows, and spectacular views make this one of our favorite Taos discoveries. We ventured over to the Millicent Rogers Museum one afternoon. It is a mere 10 min. drive from the casita and well worth the visit. We enjoyed it and would recommend it for others to experience. After a full day in the powder on the slopes my husband really enjoyed the hot tub. This is a jewel of a place. We highly recommend it and hope to be back. Thanks Kitty for sharing your special little home with all of us travelers. The only ingredient one needs to be aware of are the steps leading to the loft bedroom. They are safe but very steep so hang on to the sturdy railings and enjoy the comfy bed and looking at the stars. There is an extremely comfortable bed in the living area too. It is discretely hidden in the cozy big couch. Kitty's is a great example of why we love Taos; friendly, beautiful and unique!
