Located in the center of Taos, this historic plaza is home to galleries, boutiques, and popular local eateries.

Drive 20 minutes to visit the historic adobe settlement of Taos Pueblo. Also within a 20-minute drive, the 900’-deep Rio Grande Gorge is worth a visit for epic views of the canyon and river below. Picnic areas surrounding the gorge offer a perfect spot for lunch. The luxurious Ojo Caliente spa is less than an hours’ drive away.

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.

Great overall stay for the family
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.

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.

Amazing house!
We've stayed at many houses and this one was the best. It has everything! Clean, modern with everything you might need with an especially well stocked kitchen. Views are amazing and the hot tub was perfect. 20 min to Taos Valley and 20-25 minutes to Taos.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Lovely Ski Home
The house was excellent and was 100% as-advertised. If my group of friends/family decides we want to do Taos again, we would absolutely stay here. It was only about 4 turns and 20 minutes to/from the mountain with beautiful scenery the whole way. The only downside was being about 25-30 minutes from the larger grocery stores, but if you just need to pop out for some chips or wine there's a small, well-supplied market just 2 miles from the house. Would definitely recommend this place to Taos Ski Valley visitors!

Perfect secluded getaway
We had the best experience at this house. The pictures are beautiful, but it’s even lovelier in person. We spent the majority of our vacation enjoying the scenery from the house. It’s well equipped for cooking and if everything we needed. My only recommendation would be to bring speakers if you’d like to listen to music. Fortunately we did, so it wasn’t an issue. The hot tub was great and the manager of the property was very helpful. Can’t say enough good things about the house. We’ll definitely be back!

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!

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!
