Joanne was a wonderful host and made our house feel like home! Perfect setup for our family of four over the winter holidays. I would happily come again.

Joanne and Micheal have provided a fantastic place to stay! The Christmas decorations made it feel like home for the holidays and the live plants were beautiful. The house is clean, warm and filled with things that make it one of the nicest places we have stayed at! Lots of local info and books to read by the fireplace, and a great, quiet location for trips to the plaza or Taos Pueblo.

The owners were so gracious and made sure we had everything we needed. The casita was warm and comfortable and close by to shops, TSV, and only an hour to Santa Fe. Our daughter loved watching the birds and we really did feel like we were coming home and not just a rental. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!

If ever coming back to Taos and we need a place stay this will be it. Joanne and Michael met us both at the beginning of the stay and at the end to make sure we had all we needed. They were wonderful host. The house of a very well kept, clean, and perfectly furnished home. We enjoyed mornings on the patio watching the birds and little ground squirrel eat. Also the home is located so that you are a quick drive to all the main attractions. Loved our stay!

The owners are so kind and considerate! They truly care about providing the client with all the amenities of home. The home was pristine and inviting! We absolutely love the courtyard! The views are amazing! Could not have asked for anything more from our stay! Thank you Joanne and Michael. We look forward to seeing y’all again!

Owner prepared everything you may need in this rental home- garlic presser, herb tea bag. Quite impressive. Room is quite spacious. Washer and dryer is very helpful on our ski trip with two young kids. We will sure come back visit again :)

A private courtyard with beautiful views for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The interior is decorated nicely and the corner fireplace was wonderful. This little casita had everything we could have wanted. Quiet location with the owners nearby if we needed anything. I would rent here again and recommend to friends and family visiting the area.

The owners were very friendly and available for any problems. The property and house were very well maintained and the bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was very well supplied with the needed dishes and cooking utensils including a side by side refrigerator with through the door icemaker. The property is on a paved road and not far from grocery stores, gas stations and the Taos Plaza. The flat screen high definition tv is rather small and you are limited to streaming Netflix and local channels. The local channels did not appear to be in high definition.

Had a great time in this well appointed home. It had all we needed to fix breakfast in the mornings and dinner in the evenings. Our hosts were gracious and accommodating.

Staying in this house was relaxing and easy. Joanne and Michael make sure you have everything you need to be comfortable. I loved my time here and look forward to next August! Can't wait to see these beautiful mountains and sunsets.

The two of us enjoyed staying here for 6 days. First, the owners met us there and walked us through everything to make sure we were comfortable. They were always available to help/answer questions/make suggestions. Even on vacation we like to cook in a lot of time. The kitchen was very functional. It has all the appropriate dishes, cook ware, etc. It would've been nice to have a few extra items like oil and more seasonings but those are nice-to-haves. The weather was great so we kept the windows open - including at night. - making for great sleeping. The beds were comfortable. The little Bluetooth speaker was a nice add. The tv is small but we weren't there to watch tv. Loved the patio both for enjoying coffee in the morning as well as eating outside in the evening. The price is fair for what you get - I recommend

We enjoyed our stay at this location for 4 days. The place is very nice right in town but no noise to bother you during your stay. The couple were very nice and available if needed. We didn't use the fireplace as it was in the 90's the whole time we were there. I would certainly stay there again should I return to Taos.

The Birdhouse was exactly the comfortable, quiet, clean home we were looking for during our short stay in Taos. Michael and Joanne were welcoming and communicative, and even brought us a newspaper and let us know about local events we may be interested in. Best part: the courtyard is fragrant and serene--the perfect place to end the evening. I will recommend this place to my friends!

Beautiful home with lovely courtyard catching early morning sun. Well equipped kitchen. Short drive to downtown. Peaceful, owner very helpful.

The very welcoming owners greeted us upon our arrival to their perfect home away from home in the gorgeous Taos area. The extremely clean home had everything we needed for our week long stay. The home is perfect for a family of 4 with 2 very comfy queen beds, cozy bedding and even gorgeous views from each room. I will forever miss the courtyard area where I spent every morning enjoying my coffee or breakfast and the magical sunsets sipping the perfect cocktail. We were in town for hockey tournament, with the home being less than a 2-minute drive to rink - this was a huge plus. Had we not had the hockey tournament bring us to Taos, I would still choose to stay at this lovely home for any return visit. It is in a very quiet, safe neighborhood away from the traffic of the plaza area. I was able to take walks in the neighborhood, with the beautiful mountains in every direction I looked. Had the fortune of seeing a hot air balloon on one of my morning walks, breathtaking... The home was very warm with radiant heating. We had some cold nights and never felt cold in the home. Very cozy and warm. We loved opening up the window blinds and being able to see the clear views of the surrounding area homes and mountains in the near distance from all rooms of the home. The kitchen was well stocked for meal preparation (I cook many meals while on vacation, so this was very much appreciated). The home was very close to many stores for groceries (Albertson's, Smith's, Walgreen’s, Wal-Mart). A bit of a further drive (10 minutes or so) will put you to a couple of the wonderful natural grocers on the north end of Taos (Cids and Taos Market, which we loved!) The plaza/shopping all within a 5-10 min drive. The home is perfectly situated for taking many day trips, which we thoroughly enjoyed while we were there: *Driving the Enchanted Circle (Taos to Questa, then Red River, over to Eagle's Nest Lake and down to Angel Fire and back to Taos). This was around a 6-hour trip with the stops we made. Headed out around noon and made it back to the home just in time for sunset. Very scenic drive going in and around the mountain ranges. *Ojo Caliente Mineral Spa - around an hour drive from the home. $20 for a day pass to spa and you will love it, so relaxing. *Hike down the side of the Rio Grande Gorge to Manby Hotsprings (also called Black Rock) - 30-minute drive from the home. So much to do and explore. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Joanne! :)

Spotless and cozy! The views, the kiva, the well stocked kitchen, great linens, and great hosts all made for a great stay in Taos. We will definitely keep this place on our top list. Thanks for offering such a warm and inviting home away from home.

The property was very clean and had everything you would need for a quick stay or a long stay. The owners are nearby and very accommodating. The small kiva fireplace was a huge hit with us and plenty of firewood. I would stay there again without hesitation

My family really enjoyed staying at Casa Del Pajaro. We mainly were in Taos for skiing but really got to enjoy the town and Pueblo as well. It was only about a 35 minute drive to Taos Ski Valley or Angel FIre. Joanne and Mike had the place nicely decorated with a small Christmas Tree and lights. The kitchen was well stocked as we like to eat-in most nights when on ski trips. However, We were minutes from downtown Taos and enjoyed a few evenings out. Kiva fireplace was nice with well seasoned firewood provided with the unit. Highly recommend staying here if you decide to visit Taos. Joanne and Mike know the area well and can provide advice on many things to do and see. John and Anjela

We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed this great property. The house is located on the edge of town with fantastic mountain views and covered parking. The owners had everything ready and the house was spotless. We appreciated the comfy beds, laundry room and a fully equipped kitchen. I would highly recommend staying here and plan to return.

My husband and I spent a lovely weekend in Taos at Cada de Pajaro. The Casa is well situated very close to town, yet I you are also in the land of big New Mexico sky. The stars are brilliant at night and it's so peaceful and quiet. JoAnne has anticipated every need in setting up the Casa. It's comfortable, charming, and spotless. Highly recommended!
