In the owner's words she tells us why this home may be just the one you are searching for to enjoy your valuable vacation time: 'In our mini-hacienda you are one block from the down town central plaza with all the wonderful food, art, shopping and museums you could wish for. At the same time your home base is nestled in a totally contained private home that has been hand-painted and crafted with love and which just 'feels good' to be in. We also offer to those family or friends traveling or celebrating together the choice of staying close but of having separate complete spaces when the need or desire arises. The second story unit (Blue Elk Up) has its own private entrance, private open deck, kitchenette, large living room and full bathroom with tub/shower combo. Blue Elk Down has two master bedrooms one with tub/shower combo & the other with walk in shower only. Both units have large enough living rooms for the entire group to gather for meals and visiting. This unique Up and Down separation is ideal for members needing quiet get-away time and space from the hustle and bustle of group activity. Please note these units do not have an interior flight of stairs connecting one to the other. From the downstairs patio you walk up an exterior flight of stairs to the upper unit. In the afternoon and evening you are footsteps away from some of the locals favorite restaurants and cafe's. At 'Blue Elk Casa' you will be staying in one of the most authentic historic Taos vacation rentals offered in Taos, New Mexico. Come and experience true Southwest charm and architecture with adobe walls, viga ceilings, kiva fireplaces, bancos and nichos! Most important - you are a two minute walk from Taos Plaza and able to enjoy total and absolute privacy from neighbors or passers-by in this serene adobe walled compound.

We loved our stay at the Blue Elk Casa! There were 7 of us in our group, we rented the upstairs and downstairs units. Plenty of room but super cozy. It's right in town so we were able to walk everywhere. Kitchen is fully stocked, beds are comfortable, hot tub was amazing after a snowfall. Communication with property manager was easy and helpful. Can't say enough good things about this place! Highly recommend! ##### Anna K. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### David S. 9 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy and convenient I rented the up and down for my two sisters, their husbands, my wife, and my mom. The location is just off the Taos square where there are plenty of shops and restaurants to choose from. The bedrooms were roomy and comfortable. The kitchen/living area is not huge, so having all 7 of us there at once was a little tight, but not too bad. We enjoyed taking in the sights around Taos, travelling to Santa Fe, the Taos Pueblo, the Gorge, and Red River. Parking for more than 2 vehicles can be a challenge. There was a parking pass for a nearby church which could have used a little explaining from the host. Overall, a very nice stay. ##### David S. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim O. 6 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect We were 4 couples and the space was perfect for our needs. It was nice to have the separation of the units so we weren't on top of each other the whole stay, and plenty of room for us all to hang out together on either patio when we wanted to. Cutely decorated. The upstairs kitchen area is way smaller which we weren't expecting but made work. Very small fridge so we were happy to be able to put extra food in the downstairs unit. The location to town can't be beat. During our stay the lower level AC was not working which was a bit of a bummer, it did get pretty warm. But the pros made that easier to overlook and deal with. We would all come back and stay here again if we travel back to the area. ##### Kim O. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Von W. 1 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Walking Distance to Downtown Taos Chose this property as it was very close to downtown Taos Plaza with shops and restaurants. Closest highly rated Mexican restaurant was just around the corner of our street! We missed the detail that this is actually a duplex with separate entrances, so our group split between the two at night and met in the lower unit during the daily gathering. That all worked out fine. Unit had a couple minor problems with a gas fireplace malfunction and a persistent dripping kitchen faucet. There was also notable ceiling mold in the upstairs unit bathroom (no ventilation to remove moisture). The property manager was communicative and attended to these quickly and said they will have an exhaust fan installed to mitigate the mold. Otherwise, all in all, an very enjoyable stay ##### Von W. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Amanda S. 8 Oct 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Girls Trip 2024 My girlfriends and I travel once a year and this year we chose Taos, NM. The location of the property was perfect! Walking distance from the plaza, local shops, and restaurants. We didn't realize the property was two separate apartments. When traveling with your life long friends the last thing you want is too be separated. With that being said it would be great for 2 families. We felt that the place needed a very good deep clean. The patios were full of leaves, it is fall time but we had to brush off all the furniture to sit, nothing had been swept or made to look inviting. There were several cobwebs and the vents were dusty. The upstairs toilet runs and runs if you don't push the handle back up. Some items are just very used and old. Rugs, pillows, blankets, sheets could use replacing. The guidebook for the property was dated 2014\. For the cost of this stay we expected more, and unfortunately would not return. ##### Amanda S.

The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We couldn't ask for a better location or a more friendly host. The hot tub was a wonderful amenity and we appreciated the privacy of it. When the garbage disposal broke, maintenance was there the same day to get it fixed. The downside is that we did not know that the property we rented didn't connect on the interior, which made our 4 bdrm 3 bth rental a 2 bdrm, 1 bth and a 2 bdrm 2 bth - not ideal for a family. The units were well appointed, but lacked in cleanliness. The dust and dander left behind made for some miserable allergies during our stay, and I would encourage your cleaning crew to also look in drawers and cupboards as every dish we took out to use were put away dirty (presumably by a previous guests) and needed washed before we could use them - not the host's fault, but still an inconvenience. ##### L R.

I worried that the up and down units would split my group up too much but the downstairs living space is large enough for everyone to hang out, which was great. And being a 1-block walk to town was wonderful. ##### Andy r.
