Casa Grande In Downtown Taos

This newly remodeled three bedroom home has it all! Tiled kitchen with new appliances is well equipped and supplied for cooking at home. I always like to say if I don't have it, you won't need it! It also has a dishwasher. Nice for larger groups or longer stays. There is a separate dining room with mountain views. The living room is large-nicely furnished and comfortable. There is a fireplace and plenty of fragrant cedar firewood provided. There are three bedrooms. Front bedroom has a queen, middle bedroom is also a queen and the master bedroom has a king. Each bedroom has closet space and a dresser . I provide two cozy robes in each bedroom too for lazy mornings or comfy evenings. There are two tiled full baths with soaps, shampoo/conditioner and hair dryer provided.
This home was totally remodeled in early 2016. It was quite an undertaking! All walls and kitchen cabinets were painted a warm cream. All new operable screened windows and stained trim. Tongue and groove ceilings (I stained 1300 feet of tongue and groove. Whew!) New trim tile in the blue bathroom and completely new mango bathroom.
Then the fun part, the furnishing and decorating! I furnish with my antiques and treasures from local consignment stores and estate sales. All my bedding and towels are from my favorite Company Store catalogue so all bright colors and high quality. I love original Taos art so you will find it in every room. I have a penchant for whimsy and it's here and there. I am often asked about my decorating style- I call it "Melissiana". Actually my plumber said it best when he said, "Nothing you do makes any sense, but when you are done, it all works!"
This home is located on a quiet one block dead end street. The only sounds you hear are birds, wind chimes and the church bells from Our Lady of Guadalupe Church a block away. There is private on site parking. A walled courtyard with big trees, lilacs and plants offer outdoor living spaces for two and four legged guests. I was a professional landscaper in California before I moved to Taos and it is still my passion. In ground flowering plants as well as boxes decorated by me and big ceramic pots full of color are everywhere.
There are two outdoor living areas in front. To the left of the front gate there is a vintage glider and to the right a table and six comfortable chairs as well as a large charcoal BBQ grill. There is an additional outdoor living area off the master bedroom in the back.
As with all ten of my properties Casa Grande is pet friendly. I only ask for $10 per night per pet to be added when booking. I provide dog sheets to cover sofa and beds and ask guests to pick up after dog.
This home is actually part of a fourplex compound. I live in one of the little casitas so am always available to answer any questions. There are also two additional casitas that I rent for short term visits. Casa azul (Vrbo 797997) And Casa Verde (Vrbo 920144). Each have living/dining, tiled baths and queen bedrooms. Each also have private walled courtyards. Often guests rent the compound for large groups. I can sleep up to ten guests on this property..
There is a central laundry room available for all my guests and on site parking.
Casa Grande is located on a quiet, one block dead end street and is only three blocks from Taos Plaza.
This downtown compound was featured on the 2017 Taos Home & Garden Tour where on a Saturday in August 500 tour goers had a chance to check out my style. Too much fun!!!
If this home is booked for your dates please look at Vrbo 482097 another of my downtown homes which also offers three bedrooms and two baths. I offer guests who stay more than 30 days a generous 50% discount and a pet fee of $100 per pet per stay.

Great if you don’t want to shower or bathe

Stained textiles, pillows, bedspreads, etc. The rug in the bathroom was so dirty, it felt like it had been dipped in motor oil. The towels were gross like I wasn’t sure if they’d actually been washed before the last person used it. She sent us the directions, but when we arrived, the gate was locked. We called her and she said there is no lock on the gate. How do you not know that there’s a lock on the gate? There was most definitely a lock on the bottom of the gate. We had to jump over the wall to open the gate before we could get into the house.
Bathroom rug filthy.
Lock at the bottom of gate that “does not exist”
Wall we had to jump over to get the gate unlocked. Good thing my son is not too fat.

Such a great location, we love staying here!

This was the 3rd (maybe 4th) time we have stayed at this location. The house is perfectly located and walking distance to the Taos town square which we love. Pet friendly and the closed in courtyard is the perfect for the fur babies. This was the first time to use the BBQ outside and we fired it up multiple times.Excellent stay as usual. We will be back for sure.

What a great property

I wanted a place to stay with my extended family including my elderly mother within walking distance to the plaza for a few nights and it was more than adequate. My mother, who lives in Arizona, hasn’t sat in front of the fireplace in quite some time. We had some cool weather and she couldn’t have been happier. The kitchen and dining areas were quite roomy and the beds very comfortable. We will stay again

Comfortable stay in Taos

The home was comfortable. My friend and I were able to spread out, each had our own bed and bathroom. Being able to do laundry there was a bonus! It was located very close to downtown Taos. I would stay here again.

Really cool place!

We had a great time at Melissa's house! There was plenty of room for us to all hang out, but also have our private space. The fireplace and repository of pinon wood was a very pleasant and welcome surprise, and the courtyard was a great place for two dogs to get their ya-yas out. And downtown is just a few minutes walk away. Thanks for having us!

Cozy Place near Taos Plaza

3 bed / 2 bath / full kitchen. It was wonderful having all the extra space to spread out. It was very close to the thick of things and was able to walk from the house to the square as well as Bent St shops. Highly recommend property and location. Place was clean and furnished well.

Great House For Our Taos Visit

No surprises. It was a clean very comfortable New Mexico style house. Give the hot water a couple of extra minutes to make it to the shower - it will get there and is very nice.Probably should repair that slow leak under the bathroom sink. The catch bowl was really full when we arrived but we dumped it out.

Great spot!

A few friends and I came to Taos to do some hiking. The place was fantastic! Close to downtown Taos and all the restaurants. Nice quiet neighborhood too. The site was great with all the expected amenities. We had a chance to meet Joy, the site manager. She was so pleasant and great to talk to. At check-in, I misplaced my code, but Melissa was so prompt in setting me up with my number. I would recommend this place to anyone who visits Taos and is looking for a top-notch location!
