Nice lower unit

Location was great and Unit A was nice and cozy. Should note that no a/c in bedrooms, just in living room but stayed pretty cool at night. Unit B is upstairs and not so great for older users. Shared bathroom upstairs but nice living room . Lower patio is cute. No problem finding street parking.

TAOS Family Getaway

We all flew in for a long weekend get together. Some skied, some went to galleries and shopped. Restaurants in the area were excellent from Tex-Mex, to fine dining to brew pub pizza. We all enjoyed being together at the Blue Elk Casa. Star gazing was really good from the upstairs outdoors patio.

Total Gem!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family stayed for a reunion - first text, “what a great space, perfect location. Everything is so beautiful.” Throughout their stay, I got photos of happy people. Last text from my NY City based nieces, this place is magnificent. We were surprised at the beauty of the house, it’s so clean and well kept. Everyone made memories here..” thanks! For a great stay.

February Ski Trip

Overall a nice property, the property manager (Cherry) was great. Close to the plaza and restaurants. The description is misleading and is not 4br/3ba house. It is 2 units with small living areas and kitchens, and separate entrances (1 unit is upstairs). Not ideal for a medium/large group. Enough parking on the street for 1 vehicle, others park offsite and walk.

We enjoyed out stay very much. House was clean and quiet. In the Upstairs Apartment, the Ceiling Fan doesn't work, Kitchen light didn't work, and more than one wash cloth is needed in the bathroom. Downstairs the coffee pot must need cleaning, takes an hour to perk, and the ground fault in the kitchen didn't work.

This home was very comfortable, clean. nicely decorated, and in a perfect location close to plaza but in a quiet neighborhood. It made my first trip to Taos quite enjoyable, and I would definitely stay here again!

Lovely property, great location and wonderful support!

Four friends stayed in the two apartments and we really enjoyed our week. The location was close to the town centre but also very quiet. The caretaker was very responsive with all of our questions. Would recommend this house!

Fun Taos Visit

Our family rented the upstairs and downstairs property which worked very well for us. We loved the location. We were able to walk to shopping, restaurants, and music. The host was very friendly and helpful while we were there. The property has all of the uniqueness of Taos architecture and ambiance which we very much enjoyed.

Girls trip

This was a perfect place to stay for our girls trip. Location was great and the home was so perfect. The only problem we had was unlocking and locking the doors. Perhaps they could change the door locks to make it easier.

Beautiful Taos Plaza Vacation Rental

We had a wonderful time at the Blue Elk Casa! Our group consisted of five adults, four kids, one baby, and one small dog, and the multi-level units made it easy to be together while still allowing space for everyone. As a multi-generational group, we very much appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, accessible extra towels and bedding, and closeness to the Plaza. We very much enjoyed our stay and hope to book again for our next Taos getaway!

Wonderful, perfect stay

We loved every single thing about this property, from the location, to the little outdoor patio, to the hot tub, to the beautifully decorated interior. Two sweet casitas with everything. You could need and all kinds of extra amenities, like soft blankets and great art. The property manager was repsonaive and kind.

Family Vacation

Overall we were pleased with the rental and its proximity to the plaza and restaurants. The house was clean and spacious. Our only issue was the parking. We were aware ahead of time that it was possible no street parking would be available but parking passes would be provided. Unfortunately, only two parking passes are provided. We rented both the up and down for our large party and had 3 cars. I reached out to the caretaker with no solution other than “watch for a car to leave” which never happened the first day. We had to park our car 2 streets over in a parking lot hoping it didn’t get towed. We spent our time the next day stalking the street parking and had to leave one of ours cars parked the remainder of our visit to secure safe parking.

Our Favorite Taos Home

This is our second time to stay in the Blue Elk Casa and again we are incredibly happy with our experience. 1. The location is superb, 2. The double unit is perfect for traveling with family as you can have your own spaces, and 3. The hosts are very communicative, helpful, kind, and go above and beyond to accommodate your needs.
