Casa de Flores - Gallery Casitas 2 Bed, 2 Bath on Ledoux St

Charming Old Adobe Home 2 Bed, 2 Bath Casita
*Due to COVID 19, we are currently only accepting 30 + night stays.
If you are a health care provider, traveling to NM in need of a shorter stay, please contact us for exceptions and rates.*

This wonderful 300 yr old adobe home has been recently renovated and is connected by a private courtyard. Adjoining Casa de Flores, the Gallery Casita is located on picturesque Ledoux St. just minutes from the Taos Plaza and Bent Street Shops. Attractions on the street include restaurants, art galleries, the Harwood and Blumenschein Museums.

Originally the barn, the front Casita of the Gallery Casitas has beautiful wood vigas, and a cozy gas fireplace. This 250 sf front bedroom has a queen sized bed, gas fireplace, cable tv and bathroom with shower.

Across the courtyard, the back part of the casita has beautiful vaulted ceilings, original adzed beams and paint splatters on the floor from years of use as Bill Rane's artist studio. Measuring 900 sf, it has a beautiful new kitchen with stainless steel appliances, new bath shower with colorful talavera tiles, queen size sofabed, and a wonderful bright living area with cable TV and a king sized bed. The back Casita is an open area with the living/dining/sleeping areas adjoining each other. The back Casita has its' own separate entrance from the street, via a covered passageway.

There is a wonderful private courtyard for relaxing and enjoying the cool Taos evenings.

The front and back casitas can be rented separately for smaller groups or rented with Casa de Flores #61210 next door together for larger groups. Please note - the two bedrooms are in separate buildings - which makes the Casitas perfect for two couples or families with older children.
Pets welcome on approval. Please read our House Rules.

The entrance to Ledoux St is very small and narrow and will not accommodate RV's or campers. Parking is sometimes limited during weekdays and may not be available right in front of the house, but it is always plentiful at night and on weekends.

This is a 100% non smoking property - both inside the home, on the patios and outside in the courtyard or driveway.

Unique experience

Unique place with all normal amenities. The courtyard and solo fire was a welcome break after a long day of skiing. Parking is a challenge. Neighbors were great. They all stopped by to say high as we we're loading/unloading the car. Definitely stay there again is we get a chance.

Authentic New Mexico charm and close to everything.

Location is great, the unit is clean, spacious and had everything we needed. Depending on the day of the week and time of day, parking can take a bit of effort but the place is worth the minor inconvenience.

The property is very comfortable and so close to the Plaza, we love it!!

So nice to have a comfortable place to come back to after a long walk around the plaza and park and shopping. We kept saying how nice it was to have the courtyard to hang out in during our stay. I would definitely recommend this casita to my family and friends. Thanks for another great stay!!

This property is amazing, pretty as shown

Taos was not our kind of place. We hit a very hot, very dry time. There is only so much shopping one can do. We rafted but since so dry, the water was very low. The whole area looked depressed. This unit is very cozy, great bed, bedding, towels, shower, kitchen, couch... etc, all 1st rate. We enjoyed the little front bedroom since we don't get up at the same time. Set up the coffee maker over there. It was hot while we where there and neither unit has a/c. It does cool down at night and by 3am I could use a sheet. But, sleeping at 76 degrees and 15% humidity was not hot in the back big room. There are 2 fans. Window in the bathroom helped create a cross breeze. It would of been too hot in the front little room, but we didnt sleep there. They do have a swamp cooler you can use. We did not need it. 1 fan in there. Window cross breeze available. Place safe. Slept with doors open to courtyard with screens closed for more air to get into the place. only doors to street where kept locked. IF I went back to Taos, I'd stay there again.

Wonderful Taos Casitas!

The casitas are beautiful and comfortable. The pictures on VRBO are spot-on. The location is perfect- one quick walk from the plaza. There are so many thoughtful touches, such as a really well-equipped kitchen and lighting with so much variability. I hope I can stay here again soon.

Ruby p., sugar land

so cozy !

Rented out both Casitas for 4 persons.Historic significance appreciated.Location very central and very private, never had parking issue. The main Casita is a large size studio with a king bed, plus sofa bed, fully equipped renovated kitchen and cute shower. Stackable W/D with detergent and softner. It is accessed via the courtyard only. The front unit is a hotel like room with Queen bed and en suite, it can be accessed from the street as well as courtyard.It also has a functioning fire place which keeps it warm. There are two more units with doors leading to the court yard, not sure who owns them but they did not access the yard. The fully enclosed cute little court yard is definitely a plus where a family can hang out with their furry friends. Mattresses and Linen were excellent quality. Recliner was awesome.Enough hot water in shower for all of us. Casa Flores was decorated tastefully The only suggestions I can provide would be fixing the floor so it would stop creaking with each step ,Fix the light in the tunnel entrance to the courtyard, also a Chiminea in the yard would be a nice touch to complete the experience. Helen was helpful and quick to answer her phone for any questions I had.

Great Property!

This was our second stay at the Casa de Flores casitas. No matter which one we book they never disappoint. The location is great. Walking distance to the Plaza, restaurants, and shops. We have never had an issue while renting but if one occurred Helen is just a phone call away. She is very helpful and pleasant to work with. Will definitely return.

Perfect in every way!

We've stayed at Casa de Flores before and were going to book that but Helen suggested we stay at the Gallery Casita because we brought our 2 small dogs with us. She was so right! The dogs loved the outdoor courtyard (so did we). We were there the beginning of May and the whole town seemed to just be waking up from a long winter. We all settled in like it was our own home. There was lots of space and it had everything we needed. The location is perfect; the street is quiet and 1 block from the town square. We love going to the Black Mesa Winery and Stella's. We're already talking about a return trip next May.

We could live here!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay in the Flores Gallery Casitas. Our son was able to join us and have his own space in the front Casita and my husband and I had the larger back Casita. It is in a great location, easy walking distance to galleries, wine tasting, museums, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. The Casitas were clean, comfortable, quiet and being that they're in a historical building a little quirky. Beautifully decorated, great kitchen space with everything we needed, huge lovely shower, washer and dryer - all our needs were met. Oh, and the courtyard is wonderfully charming and a great place to sit with an afternoon beer or your morning coffee and a book. Would highly recommend the Gallery Casitas.

This Is an outstanding property!

The furnishings and amenities are top of the line. The location is one of the best in Taos. The plaza, very good restaurants, nice galleries and a grocery store are all within an easy walk. The place is well cared for and very clean and the staff is readily available yet never intrusive. You will be very happy if you rent this property.

Lovely LeDoux Street Casitas -- Perfection!

First of all, I don't think there is a more picturesque street in America than lovely Le Doux street with its narrow winding way, surrounded by earthen adobe structures with bright blue doors and windows, flowers, art galleries and two of the most noted museums of Taos right on the street. It is a very short stroll to the Plaza and all the restaurants, shops and garlleries of downtown Taos. The location cannot be beat. Then there are the casitas themselves. Impeccably clean, beautifully decorated with local arts, super comfie bedding, gorgeous kitchenware. We've been on a cross country trek, and have stayed in a lot of generic hotels, so to be in these two great houses, with a full kitchen and laundry and a serene patio felt like being at home again -- I really loved it and would stay here again in a heartbeat!!!
