Best Casa: Peaceful Apartment in Historic Hacienda with Private Hot Tub

Best Casa is a hidden jewel only a block from Taos Plaza. It is part of a historical hacienda style adobe, over a century old, that once housed nuns working at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. Newly renovated, the interior features an earthship style kitchen with south facing windows designed allow the sunlight to passively heat the room. The spacious kitchen is fully equipped and includes unique touches: a counter top made from a bowling lane, custom concrete countertops with inset planters, and a built in cherry cutting board. The living space has high ceilings, a plush wool rug and a large smart TV. The high-end sleeper sofa is very comfortable.

The apartment sleeps four people, and if you have more in your group, my other VRBO rental, #462128, is right across the courtyard.

There is a small very private outdoor area with a brick patio and grassy lawn. An outdoor kiva fireplace stands in the corner of the patio, and you might be able to squeeze four people into the 3-person hot tub.

Gas range and a large collection of cooking supplies. Nespresso machine with milk frother, French press, drip coffee maker. Toaster oven. French door refrigerator, microwave. Full size washer and dryer, heated bathroom floor, ceiling fans. Premium linens, a felted wool comforter, and down pillows; a comfortable plush/firm queen mattress. Very comfortable high-end queen sleeper sofa. High speed internet, Smart TV, Blue Ray/DVD player, high quality SONOS sound system, NetFlix, Amazon Prime streaming, and YouTubeTV. Large selection of books and games.

Sorry, but I cannot allow pets.

The apartment is located on a quiet one-way street only one block west of the Taos plaza, and the location of the apartment is one of its greatest assets. From the front door, a five minute walk will reach twelve restaurants, dozens of galleries, the best coffee in town (The World Cup), Manzanita Market, Smith's grocery store, the Bent Street shopping district, Ledoux Street, and of course, the Taos Plaza. Security camera disclosure: There is a doorbell camera on the door that opens onto the courtyard and also one on the door that opens to the private back yard. There is also a motion activated security camera in the parking area and one at the front entrance to the courtyard. Other units on the property also have doorbell cameras.

One of the best places we have stayed at. The entire property feels so welcoming. Everything was clean and well presented. Whenever we return to Taos we will not be searching for another place to stay, this will be your forever get away in the Taos area. Downtown is just a wonderful easy walk down the street and the main roads are easy to access.

Beat expectations.

Great experience. Exceeded expectations. Really the best location in terms of walking to everything. Marcus has good taste and the unit was beautiful, warm, inviting and comfortable. My family and I are clean freaks and have to say this unit was cleaner than our own home and certainly better than most hotel rooms! Couldn’t have asked for more. Todd

Great stay!

We loved our week in Taos at Marcus’s casita. It is located about a block from the plaza in an old, quiet courtyard. There is a completely stocked kitchen, hot tub in a small, shady back yard, washer and dryer, big screen television, comfy bed, everything to feel at home while on vacation. Marcus was a lovely host welcoming us on arrival and giving us great suggestions for Taos food and events. We enjoyed seeing his other two casitas in the complex, including one that is currently being renovated. All his casitas are completely renovated with great taste.

Beautiful Casita in Taos

This is a beautifully remodeled, perfectly located, quiet, clean, and serene getaway just a few blocks from the Taos plaza. It has wonderful southwestern ambiance, with exposed beams, hand plastered walls, lovely Indian rugs, and rustic furniture. There is a well appointed kitchen, lovely decor, nice spacious yard (with spa and grill), easy parking, good Sonos sound system, good internet, nice light, washer, dryer, dishwasher, and nice furnishings. Every aspect of this lovely property has been thoughtfully attended to. We recently spent 5 nights there and would return in a minute. The owner, Marcus Best, is polite and responsive, even coming to try and fix the Dish TV. Highly recommended.

Best in the West

We arrived very late to be greeted a beautiful casita , we loved everything about it from the very modern kitchen , the spacious living room,skylights that brighten up the space, a comfortable bed. The house is surrounded by intriguing and wonderful photographs, reminding you are truly in Taos. We did not have time to use a hot tub and bbq grill in the spacious yard. It is located conveniently two blocks from the town center but because this is an adobe casa, it was completely soundproof. We would definitely reserve this casita again.

Close to the plaza and secluded enough to feel like a true getaway. The apartment is well appointed, comfortable, with a thoroughly relaxing private hot tub. The three of us, two adults and one child, had a wonderful time.

Peaceful retreat

This is our second stay with Best Casa. Marcus has created a welcoming and comfortable retreat. The home is not only beautiful but spotlessly clean. We cooked all of our meals in the updated kitchen - everything appliance & gadget you'll need is provided. It's a *very* short walk to the Main Street but very quiet. The only noise we heard was the pleasant pealing of the church bells during the day. I highly recommend Best Casa when in Taos!
