About this house rental

Town - Walk to Taos Plaza 1/2 block - 18 miles to Taos Ski Valley

Welcome to the true feel of 'Old Taos' in the 100 year old 'Historic' private airconditioned compound of 'Blue Elk Casa'. In the owner's words she tells us why this home may be just the one you are searching for to enjoy your valuable vacation time:

'In our mini-hacienda you are one block from the down town central plaza with all the wonderful food, art, shopping and museums you could wish for. At the same time your home base is nestled in a totally contained private home that has been hand-painted and crafted with love and which just 'feels good' to be in. We also offer to those family or friends traveling or celebrating together the choice of staying close but of having separate complete spaces when the need or desire arises. The second story unit (Blue Elk Up) has its own private entrance, private open deck, kitchenette, large living room and full bathroom with tub/shower combo. Blue Elk Down has two master bedrooms one with tub/shower combo & the other with walk in shower only. Both units have large enough living rooms for the entire group to gather for meals and visiting. This unique Up and Down separation is ideal for members needing quiet get-away time and space from the hustle and bustle of group activity. Please note these units do not have an interior flight of stairs connecting one to the other. From the downstairs patio you walk up an exterior flight of stairs to the upper unit.

In the afternoon and evening you are footsteps away from some of the locals favorite restaurants and cafe's. At 'Blue Elk Casa' you will be staying in one of the most authentic historic Taos vacation rentals offered in Taos, New Mexico. Come and experience true Southwest charm and architecture with adobe walls, viga ceilings, kiva fireplaces, bancos and nichos! Most important - you are a two minute walk from Taos Plaza and able to enjoy total and absolute privacy from neighbors or passers-by in this serene adobe walled compound.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We couldn't ask for a better location or a more friendly host. The hot tub was a wonderful amenity and we appreciated the privacy of it. When the garbage disposal broke, maintenance was there the same day to get it fixed. The downside is that we did not know that the property we rented didn't connect on the interior, which made our 4 bdrm 3 bth rental a 2 bdrm, 1 bth and a 2 bdrm 2 bth - not ideal for a family. The units were well appointed, but lacked in cleanliness. The dust and dander left behind made for some miserable allergies during our stay, and I would encourage your cleaning crew to also look in drawers and cupboards as every dish we took out to use were put away dirty (presumably by a previous guests) and needed washed before we could use them - not the host's fault, but still an inconvenience.

We were 4 couples and the space was perfect for our needs. It was nice to have the separation of the units so we weren't on top of each other the whole stay, and plenty of room for us all to hang out together on either patio when we wanted to. Cutely decorated. The upstairs kitchen area is way smaller which we weren't expecting but made work. Very small fridge so we were happy to be able to put extra food in the downstairs unit. The location to town can't be beat. During our stay the lower level AC was not working which was a bit of a bummer, it did get pretty warm. But the pros made that easier to overlook and deal with. We would all come back and stay here again if we travel back to the area.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at the Blue Elk. The location was prime to walk around the plaza and go to a concert at the park. Definitely would stay again. Only downside was the kitchen utensils and dishware seemed to be a bit old and dirty.

I rented the up and down for my two sisters, their husbands, my wife, and my mom. The location is just off the Taos square where there are plenty of shops and restaurants to choose from. The bedrooms were roomy and comfortable. The kitchen/living area is not huge, so having all 7 of us there at once was a little tight, but not too bad. We enjoyed taking in the sights around Taos, travelling to Santa Fe, the Taos Pueblo, the Gorge, and Red River. Parking for more than 2 vehicles can be a challenge. There was a parking pass for a nearby church which could have used a little explaining from the host. Overall, a very nice stay.

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.

Enjoyed having the extended family in the two units. There was plenty of room. We liked the outdoor patios.

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!
