Overview
Casa Cielo is a 2,500 sq ft adobe retreat set in a quiet, secluded spot just north of Taos, where privacy, hiking, and incredible mountain and high-desert views come together. Expansive outdoor spaces surround the home, creating plenty of room to relax, dine, and take in the famously colorful Taos sunsets. Gorgeous custom details fill the home, from the traditional kiva fireplace and viga ceilings to the work of local artists displayed throughout, including striking photographs of Taos architecture, people, and landscapes. Large windows bring in abundant natural light and frame the views, while expansive patios, a covered grill and dining area, and a hot tub make it easy to linger outside from sunrise coffee to late-night stargazing.

Casa Cielo was perfect for our family of six! The house was spacious and the kitchen was stocked with everything you could ever need. The hot tub was relaxing and we could see so many stars at night. The location was great. In between the city of Taos and the Taos Ski Valley. The property is large and the kids enjoyed playing outside. The views of mountains all around were beautiful. The house had a good selection of board games and we enjoyed playing them at the large kitchen table. The beds were very comfortable.
Great for ski vacations or just to get away from hustle and bustle. Perfect layout for a family trip, gorgeous scenery and awesome grill area. Sitting in hot tub looking at snow capped peaks, in shade of the Juniper Pinons, need I say more?!
This was our second stay at Casa Cielo and it was even better than we remembered! The location is convenient to skiing but allows for a relaxing apres experience. The home is beautifully decorated and maintained with all amenities you’d want. We had a minor issue when we arrived but it was quickly resolved with efficient communication, greatly appreciated! We highly recommend and will be back again!
The house itself has a wonderful layout. High quality construction in a warm and inviting home. The views of the mountains and seeing wildlife made it feel like we were in a private sanctuary. The quality of the home and amenities provided are excellent. The kitchen is a delight to work in. A night in the hot tub under the stars was an added bonus. Thank you for creating such a wonderful place to enjoy nearby Taos, New Mexico James, our contact person, provided excellent and prompt response when needed.
Warmth, wilderness and welcoming. Three words to describe the deeply relaxing and peaceful experience at Casa Cielo. The resident deer visited us every morning and evening. The full moon provided the perfect spotlight for a night under the stars while soaking in the hot tub.
This house is comfortable, beautiful, and situated in a gorgeous location. We have family in Taos, and it was the ideal place for us to stay while visiting them. We were close enough for easy get-togethers, and even hosted dinners a couple of times. We will definitely rent again !
