This is an exquisite setting on a family ranch formerly run with cattle and bison. Our family has been here for over 300 years, farming, ranching and tending the land. This is not your typical setting. Its bucolic, fresh, open and....green! The casita is a one bedroom, one bath with a balcony to enjoy the valley and mountain views while sipping your tea in the morning. We sit on about 20 acres and a private driveway, but the "jewel of Taos County- Arroyo Seco" is just a 10 minute walk down the road with 2 restaurants, and Taos Cow Ice Cream (voted in the top 10 in the nation!). There is also a grocery store, bar and a local dive to enjoy famous New Mexican chili! If you prefer to walk in the opposite direction, you can walk up to trails that offer the best of wild and natural in Taos County. Walk along the creek to the craggy cliffs, or up to the waterfalls that veil the caves behind them. Or sit among the cottonwoods and enjoy a spectacular sunset! Past guests describe our place as: “Stunning” “AMAZING” “Extraordinarily beautiful” “Hidden gem” “Perfect, perfect, perfect!” We are also a WEDDING VENUE! We’ve hosted several weddings in this idyllic setting. Imagine a big white tent among curated gardens, grassy fields, expansive mountain views and surrounded by exotic animals! Past weddings have included a hot air balloon and a horse-drawn carriage. Take a peek: https://sites.google.com/view/taos-cakes/wedding-venue?authuser=0 Come see for yourself! We pride ourselves in a pet-free and smoke-free setting. Please note that we have cigarette smoke detectors that are checked after every stay. If there is an indication that there was smoking or pets in the guesthouse we will add a $450 cleaning fee so rest assured you will be in a smoke free setting! Finally, the entrance is up one flight of stairs so if you have trouble with stairs, this might not be your best housing option. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport -

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in A Writer’s Cottage outside Arroyo Seco. Location was perfect for us, accessible to what we wanted and needed, but far enough away to feel the solitude! The casita was impeccable, clean and furnished with everything we needed. And the special boost was the friendly greeting of Ollie and Milo, our special cat hosts! Thanks for a perfect birthday celebration getaway! We would love to return when everything is blooming! ##### Gayle S.

Two very friendly cats greeted us along with the property owner. 1BR apt over the garage was perfect for two people. ##### Bronwyn P. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2022 ---
