We loved everything about our stay! The house was cute and lovingly decorated. We felt right at home. Helen thought of everything!
The location was perfect. We loved staying on Historic Ledoux street, we were able to walk to shopping and restaurants. We appreciated the off-street parking.
Helen was also very responsive to any questions we had.

Beautiful accommodations just steps from the plaza. Comfortable furniture where you can actually relax like home. Well furnished kitchens. Great little patio where you can listen to chimes and gaze at a slice of the New Mexico sky.

We loved our week in this charming house, thoughtfully decorated with Taos art pieces.
Located on a quiet, yet historic street. Easy walking distance to the plaza, galleries, museums, Kit Carson house, restaurants, etc.
Clean, spacious bedroom w/bath (upstairs). Well-equipped kitchen w/colorful dishes. Peaceful front porch for morning coffee.
Highly recommended for a couple spending time in Taos.

This home was super clean and well equipped. We were very comfortable. The only challenge was operating the television, which we never mastered during that week in spite of all the written directions. But lovely place.
5.0 / 5.0
The property was exactly as described in the listing! Wonderfully restored pueblo construction. Beautifully decorated, charming, and comfortable. Well stocked kitchen appliances, dishware, and cookware. Steps from the Taos Plaza made for excellent access to shops, restaurants, and museums during our 5-day stay.
Neighborhood did have some noise during evening hours & overnight - seemed to be isolated incidents. Property manager did not send information for check-in until 2 days prior to arrival date, but information was complete.
Bring your own toiletries!

Just beautiful! Great casita with every amenity, upscale finishes, wonderful decor and art. The king bed had great bedding and was super comfortable. Location couldn’t have been better. Off street parking and just a few steps to everything! The property manger was super responsive and helpful.

Was in a great location (3 min walk to the square) with many shops and restaurants. House itself was a beautiful old adobe style but all modern updated amenities inside. Would stay again if going back.

We really enjoyed our stay her for a ski trip to Taos. It is really clean and just as described in the listing. The location is great for walking the plaza and grabbing something to eat. Also an easy drive to Taos Ski Valley. We will definitely look to stay here again if we visit the area.

This is a lovely little cottage in a great location! Our host was wonderful at communicating with us and making sure we had everything we needed for a nice getaway. The home is very well appointed including a fully functional kitchen complete with cookware and dishes which is so often overstated! I would stay here again!

I loved this little adobe place. It is right near the plaza downtown, and was perfect for me. Parking is a little tight, so I don’t advise renting this if you have a giant vehicle or a trailer. But for me with one vehicle it was just right

We’ve stayed in lot of VRBOs. Stayed here for a week.
This is by far and away the best in terms of space, location, and quietness. Place was very clean and nice.

We had a wonderful time in Taos. The Casa de Flores Navajo Casita was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. We spent lots of time enjoying the outside deck.
Helen Tracy emailed us to make sure we had all the necessary information for our stay. We felt welcomed and felt lucky to have stayed in such an authentic casita on a charming and historical street.
5.0 / 5.0
Because that's what it FELT like - like nobody had EVER been there before US! The property was immaculate, diverse kitchen tools (EVERYTHING I needed, including coffee that 1st morning!!), and less than a 5 minute walk to the Plaza, galleries, and museums. The ONLY thing I would recommend is a hand-held shower attachment to the cute-tiled bathroom. Property manager Helen was awesome, Wi-Fi was consistent, TV was perfect, and our first VRBO experience was 5-star!! Thank you very much!! We really enjoyed it!

Rental was super clean and had everything we needed to stay two weeks. Nicely Renovated adobe house which I have always wanted to live in! Wonderful features inside like wooden beam ceilings so very authentic. Houses are close to each other in this historic district but it is very quiet just sitting out on the porch and reading and enjoying the New Mexico blue sky

5.0 / 5.0
I am a repeat guest at Casa de Flores and the Navajo Casita. I have stayed at many VRBO properties in and around Taos over the years, and very few make my short list of places I would always choose to stay at if they matched my dates. Casa de Flores and the casita made that list on my first stay and have remained there ever since.
The property is meticulously cared for and always very clean (including a spotless and polished stainless steel sink, trust me a rare thing to see in Taos! props to the housekeeper). It is a very comfortable place to come back to at the end of your day, and the kitchen is nice and well equipped. You are in easy walking distance of the Plaza, and you can’t beat being surrounded by the history of Ledoux Street.
Helen is extremely efficient and the kind of caretaker everyone would be lucky to have looking after their property. I had some personal complications affecting my last trip and she was very gracious in dealing with them, and I appreciated that very much.
I know everyone will have their own personal preferences as to what specific things make a property appeal to them, but to me this property is five stars all the way.

We had an amazing stay at the Casa de Flores. The home is charming with thoughtful touches throughout. It's located on a beautiful historic street right off the main plaza, making it an easy walk to shops and restaurants throughout town. We hope to come back soon!

The property is great - very charming. Located less than a block from the plaza, but very quiet. Within walking distance of almost everything.

Such a wonderful home and loved being so close to restaurants and the plaza. We loved the decor in the home, as it is inviting and comfortable. We will definitely return to Taos and this casita!

We enjoyed our stay in this charming little place which was also in a perfect location. We were able to walk to restaurants and shops within a few minutes. The only drawback is there is no AC, just fans and it is quite warm this time of year.

We could not have imagined a better place to stay during our time in Taos. The Casita was spotless and very well maintained. You get the best of both worlds with this Casita...authentic structure with both modern renovations mixed with the original...very tasteful. Being first time visitors to Taos, the location was perfect. We could walk to museums, restaurants and Plaza without the hassle of having to find parking. Grocery shopping is nearby as well. We shopped at Smith’s. The owner had provided their discount tag with our key to the house, which was a nice touch. The neighborhood, a historic district, was just charming. Evenings were quiet and mornings very pleasant with coffee outside taking in the sweet aroma of the flowered bushes and listening to the wind chimes. You won’t be disappointed with your stay at Casa de Flores. The owner pays close attention to detail and was found to be very accommodating and accessible. We hope to return again! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
5.0 / 5.0
If you want to stay close to all the attractions, restaurants and shopping this home is a beautiful choice. The home is lovely, Loved the off street parking, the ambiance of the home and the quietness of the neighborhood. The location was also super convenient to get on Paseo Del Pueblo Norte (the main street of Taos), or even better, to avoid getting in the traffic jams on the main street. We would highly recommend renting Casa de Flores and hopefully we'll stay there again next time we're in the Taos area.
5.0 / 5.0
We loved our stay here at this casita in Taos! Fabulous location, right in the heart of art galleries and only a few blocks to all the shops and restaurants. The property itself was updated and impeccably clean. The bed was super comfortable. It was the ideal size for two adults. It was decorated beautifully in a modern yet Southwestern fusion style, which I appreciated. I highly recommend it!
