55th Wedding Anniversary

Inger’s Casita was the perfect location to celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary. The Casita was beautiful, comfortable and felt like home. The location was great and within walking distance to the Taos plaza, restaurants and a fine wine bar. Inger took great care of us and provided special treats to celebrate our anniversary. If you go to Taos this is the place to stay!

Perfect Taos casita

We were so pleased with our choice of this property--it felt so "authentic", spacious, very well equipped and stocked, great location--check in was seamless--property manager called to check in with us before we arrived! They made our 50th anniversary memorable! We would definitely recommend to others!

Charming Get-away spot!

My husband and I enjoyed the artistic flavor of this guest house, with it's wonderful artworks on display throughout the property. A very short walk to the Taos Plaza made for easy wanderings to specially shops, restaurants and bars. We enjoyed having a full kitchen to cook a few of our meals at home. We will definitely be back!

Nice place, good location

Nice place, good location. Beware of narrow stairs to loft bed and light in the early morning from skylights. And thermostat locked - set at 69/70 which was fine except when it got cold outside and we would have liked to turn it down at night to sleep.

Great introduction to Taos

Perfect escape getaway for two within walking distance of the heart of town. We enjoyed the faux fireplaces that looked and sounded so real (didn't mind missing real wood & smoke smell) and the layout had a unique coziness that made us feel right at home. Inger's gallery was right next door and she honored us with a private tour on our first full day (even offered up eggnog while we chatted). All in all, we'd stay again in a heartbeat!

The location was great - close to the Taos central plaza which had restaurants & shopping and was very scenic. The building is historic and very quaint. The artist owner and the manager were very nice and helpful. The beds were comfortable. However, the weather was warm and the air conditioning unit did not seem to be able to keep up with the size of the casita. Also, the sky light windows did not have shades to block the morning sun.

Convenient and close to many places in Taos

This property is well-maintained and clean, a very short walk to the plaza. We always had parking right in front, which was great. The place was really large for the two of us - bedroom, large living room, kitchen - and it could sleep more people pretty easily. A few (minor) quibbles - the place was dimly lit, which made reading in the evening a challenge. There were very, very few basics in the kitchen. It would be nice to have a little oil, salt, sugar available. We also found that the lack of any ability to regulate the temperature meant that we were too hot every night, but it was still too cold out (this was March) to open the windows. Maybe guests could have some limited access to turn down the heat? Overall, we really liked Taos and liked our stay in this very nice VRBO.

Wonderful Stay!

We had a bit of a hiccup checking in to the property when we were told we were staying in one unit but received the code for the other, which is actually where we were supposed to be. We got lucky and figured it out on our own in the middle of the night but we never did end up hearing back from the property manager when we reached out asking for help. Other than that our stay was wonderful! It’s such a fun place, close to the plaza. We really enjoyed it so much and would certainly recommend it to anyone coming to visit.

Great stay in Taos

My friend and I enjoyed staying at Inger Jirby’s casitas. It is located right in the heart of Taos yet it is secluded and very quiet. Check in was a breeze with the keys available in the lockbox. The casitas is beautifully decorated including prints of Inger’s paintings, it was homey , roomy and charming . The winding staircase was a bit tight to for my friend to navigate but I didn’t have trouble getting up or down. With that being said, I decided to unpack my packing cubes and carry them up rather than try to schlep my suitcase up. The upstairs bed was very comfortable. My friend rested well on the trundle bed in the living room. I would certainly stay there again and recommend it as a great getaway spot

About the host

Hosted by Inger Jirby

Inger Jirby's life has been as rich, dramatic and exotic as her art. She was born in the far north of Sweden, above the Artic Circle in Lapland, a place of blazing autumnal colors and great cultural traditions. "I prefer to work outdoors on location. I love to interact with nature and Taos is a perfect place to do what I love the most," she says. "Taos, New Mexico has been a cultural center over a hundred years. New Mexico is the perfect place for a landscape painter and I am first and foremost a landscape painter."

Why they chose this property

The location is absolutely charming, on the quiet, quaint and conveniently-located Historic Ledoux Street. People are always telling me that they love to stay here, and wish that they could stay longer! It's a wonderful arrangement; guests of our casitas can also check out my gallery, and collectors of my paintings can also be put up in comfort while they are in town.

What makes this property unique

My guest houses, besides their location on a historic street next to a world-famous art gallery, are also the most centrally located lodgings in town, within walking distance to Taos Plaza and its array of restaurants, galleries, museums, studios and shops.
