Great house near Taos!!!
We have stayed in many VRBOs and this on ranks near the top. It was easy to see that the owner has put a lot of thought into the decor, stocking and maintenance of the home. Everything was perfect. The location afforded scenic views and total privacy and quiet. If you are looking for the perfect Taos getaway spot, this is it!!

Family reunion in Taos
Casa De Luz is a beautiful home located in a great location of El Prado/Taos. It was a great place for a family reunion. The house was very clean and provided all the amenities. It was very easy to enter. Sharon as the host was available by phone and email to answer any questions. Also, she had provided lots of information about the area. All the decorations and touches made it very homey. The hot tub was a hit and in a perfect location to gaze at the endless sky at night. Will definitely rent again when back in the area!

House of light
Casa de Luz is aptly named, given the natural light throughout the house, which is highlighted by the wonderful views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, also aptly named centuries ago. The house is very comfortable with a nice entertainment center and well equipped Kitchen. Easy access to the ski valley and downtown Taos. A great place to enjoy the magic of Taos.

Perfect getaway!
This property did not disappoint! Sharon was so easy to work with and the house is close enough to go snowboarding but far enough away from the hustle bustle of a ski valley. The hot tub was so enjoyable! It was amazing to be able to come back from a day on the mountain and relax in the hot tub! The house was fully stocked and the kitchen is equipped with all your cooking needs! Sharon went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were accommodated as well! Such a nice place to get away with the family! Looking forward to staying again!

Fantastic value for a little oasis.
Stayed here for a week with my boyfriend and dog. The house was perfectly appointed making us feel at home. They have thought of everything (literally everything: dog bowl and dog linens, every kitchen appliance imaginable, cable and Smart TV, WFH desk, the list goes on)! Sharon, Joseph and Emily were incredibly accommodating. We are grateful for their hospitality. Highly recommended for those working from home and in search of plenty of outdoor recreation at your doorstep.
