Another Great stay!

4th time staying at Casa Cielo - it’s our “go to” home when we visit Taos (2-3x per year) Super-clean - the house always feels like new when we arrive. Immaculate!

Beautiful home. Great location.

The lay out of the home was great. We loved the location as it’s central to all of the areas we planned to visit. Loved all the wide open space and views that could be seen from every window and every area outside. Loved the covered patio with grill. Hot tub was so nice! As a pet friendly home, there were clumps of dog hair under the recliners and a little in the freezer. Just a small nit pick, but definitely grossed me out a bit. Lack of AC wasn’t terrible in the summer once we figured out when to open/close windows. We live in Houston where AC is used year round so that was an operator error issue. Would definitely recommend this home.

Beautiful home with stunning views

Loved everything about this home. Lovely southwestern style with attractive decor. Beautiful kitchen/family room, comfortable bedrooms with 2 nice bathrooms. Cute Ramada where you can grill and enjoy the outdoors. Nice hot tub. Enjoyed the 360 views and the dark skies for stargazing. We would definitely come back and stay longer next time.

Privacy and seclusion

Situated on a large lot with tons of privacy. The house is a beautiful new build with large open floor plan with great outdoor spaces including a nice grilling structure. The view from the living room is amazing. It was the perfect place to enjoy my morning coffee. The hot tub was also nice and private with great views. Totally relaxing, could want nothing more.

Bama to NM

From the initial arrival after our two day drive from AL to NM with our 2 boxers in tow...you get the immediate sense that you have picked the perfect place to stay to experience this state. This was a great base residence for all of our adventures to experience what NM had to offer! This beautiful adobe style home was an excellent representation of all its surroundings and the culture here. If you love privacy and some remoteness this is the place to unwind and enjoy. It is beautiful inside and out with a hot tub as well. You really never even have to leave Casa Cielo to have a wonderful getaway. This property couldn't have given us a better first experience in NM. No details or provisions for a getaway are lacking here.

Ski Trip Stay

Beautiful, secluded property that had everything our group needed to enjoy our stay. Less than 30 minutes away from Taos Ski Valley made this location perfect for us. The hot tub was great for relaxing at the end of the day. Overall our whole group was incredibly impressed.

The Taos Vistas You Have Been Dreaming About

This home was so comfortable with a well appointed kitchen and comfortable bedding. We had everything we needed. The picture windows are lovely and the best views! We heard coyotes at night and saw a few jackrabbits. You can actually see the milky way and so many stars at night! Watching the sunset itself was an activity at the house and there are plenty of spaces to relax. A short drive to Taos Plaza or be adventurous with easy access to the Enchanted Circle Drive. We had a great time celebrating my mom’s bday. A perfect private location. Communication with Vacasa staff was easy through text. Can’t wait to return and to recommend!

Peaceful getaway

We enjoyed our time in Taos and our stay at this home. The location is very secluded without any neighbors visible from the house our patio. This made it a very peaceful getaway. But still a short drive to some good restaurants and an easy strive into Taos. Amazing views of the mountains and night sky. The house has no air conditioning, but even on the hot summer days, we were comfortable by opening the windows overnight to cool down the house. A good layout with large open concept and roomy bedrooms and bathrooms.

Fabulous! Amazing views and lovely home.

This place was exactly what we needed for a week. Location was great and close to Taos but not too close. House was super clean and they went the extra step to make sure the hot tub was ready and waiting for us! My husband was able to "work remotely" with the solid wifi. And the kitchen was stocked perfectly for a few nights of staying in. Thank you for such a great place to explore Taos, Arroyo Seco and the local sights!

The property was very well appointed and clean. The location is private but convenient to the slopes and not a bad drive into town either. We will be back for years to come.

Gorgeous views!

Would have given 5 stars but the master bed mattress is worn and needs replaced. Incredible views from every room! Hot tub was much needed after skiing each day. 30 min drive to Taos Ski Valley and 10 minutes from Taos downtown area. We took our Golden Retriever and he loved the space. The property isn’t fenced but is secluded so we never had a leash on our dog. Kitchen is stocked with non-grocery essentials so I was able to cook every day while in the mountains. Pics do not display the majestic Mountain View’s!
