We currently live in this, our home, and are building two new houses. We plan on putting this property up for sale Spring of 2026. This is available for three-five month rental for a family of two-five people OR up to three roommates. There are just three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Maximum of three cars allowed at this rental. No parties allowed. We are convinced you will love our home as much as we do and not care to leave the premises often, yet you could choose to do so with ease. Our hot tub, den-bar area, art studio, and game/movie and book library will provide lots of entertainment. Sit by one of the fireplaces to dream stories, tell stories or write stories. Wood-beamed ceilings, wood and saltillo tiles throughout add to the warmth and tenderness of Casa de Cuentos. There is a separate recreation room area with additional living room and Kiva if one needs space from others while visiting. Our kitchen has just been remodeled and new pictures with knotty alder cabinets and granite countertops will be posted soon. Hallway bathroom is currently undergoing a partial remodel, also. CASA de Cuentos: The main house has 3 bedrooms (a KING bed in master and a King bed in the den bedroom and a single bed in the hallway bedroom--there is a living area upstairs with 360 views. There are 2 bathrooms (one with a large shower and the master bathroom has a deep, soaking tub with handheld shower attachment) and a HUGE den with a BAR and beer fridge. There are four living areas and three bedrooms : King(2) and twin (1). You have fabulous views of the mountains out the north-side: large windows frame the mountains perfectly and let them into the living/dining area. To the south - you have expansive views of the valley and hot air balloons can be viewed floating eye-level or below in the distance. Daytime: Taos-turquoise blue skies during the day and STARS in the night-sky are so close you can touch them while sitting in the hot tub in the courtyard. (I just got out of the hot tub and I need to report there are more stars here than I ever knew existed...it is 'plum' full of stars--as my Grandma used to say.) The views from the second-story art-studio-living-area are THEE best in Taos--360 degrees of turquoise skies and mountains and sunrises and sunsets. Watch the moon rise, watch the sun rise and sun set..from the art studio-heaven! (Dave designed this 1000-square foot addition and has done all of the remodeling.) Pinons and sagebrush are the native plants that blanket the grounds of Casa de Cuentos and their sweet smells are all of the aromatherapy you will need while at this tranquil adobe. Two outdoor living areas: a deck with a hot tub in N.E. courtyard with new flagstone patio with a built-in firepit facing the mountains and a new patio on the South-side facing the valley. The NorthEast courtyard has a huge fenced in area (fence is 6-ft. tall) for one dog’s pleasure and well-being. We will consider two well - behaved dogs. Please ask. The Northwest yard (where we parked our camper) also has it's own patio and a huge fenced in area for pets and play. Casa de Cuentos - the perfect place for a few people to have solitude and/or for a small family. We have a fabulous fenced in courtyard for a dog. Pet fee for one dog for a long stay: $350. We may accept two well-behaved dogs. Please contact us before booking to ask. We would need to know breed ahead of rental agreement. Furnishings-decorations may be a bit different than the pictures; alas, they will be clean, attractive and cozy. 40 minutes from Red River/55 minutes from Angel Fire/1 hour from Ojo Caliente/1.5 hours from Santa Fe/2.5 hours from Albuquerque/3.5 hours from Colorado Springs/4.5 hours from Denver/Right next to your heart! Casa de Cuentos - House of Stories - Live your story! Exterior camera for security on driveway and parking area. You will love our home: Casa de Cuentos in Taos, New Mexico Guest comment : My husband and I, our two grown daughters, son-in-law and grandson had the best vacation ever at Casa de Cuentos! The home is cozy and warm -- very relaxing and peaceful, comfortably furnished and well maintained. Our family could not have been made to feel more at home. The views from the living room and dining room windows are spectacular. The location is secluded but also convenient to both town and the ski valley. We will absolutely stay here again. Guest Comment: A magical place! The photos do not do it justice -- it is serene, romantic, beautiful, peaceful, idyllic... My boyfriend and I were so inspired we decided to get married while we were there! My Mom and brother were so inspired at what we did, they mended relations after years! The magic continues....Thanks to Tammi and Dave! We live in a neighborhood with a dead-end dirt-graveled shared easement-driveway. Two other neighbors share our long, dirt driveway; and, our house is very private with lots of trees, open space and a tall, privacy fence. 10 MPH is max. speed on our driveway. Exterior camera on Driveway-Parking area. We provide floors and bathroom cleaning every two weeks. We provide hot tub maintenance and cleaning, as well, every few days. Dave will pick up your trash from the garage once a week and take it to the dump. Our property also houses a casita that is a short-term rental--which we will be taking care of while you rent this home...the "big" house. We will be moving into the NEW casita that Dave is currently finishing building. From there, he will start our new BIG house...after we sell this property next summer. Casita Ave Maria is a totally separate property across the driveway...with its own patio, hot tub and parking area that cannot be seen from the "big" house. Both houses have lots of privacy.

Wonderful place to stay! ##### Caroline S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erika B. 23 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for families! This house was perfect for our family of 6. My parents, my kids and my husband and I each had our own room and living room. We had everything we needed and the location was perfect for skiing at Red River, Angel Fire and close to Taos. I would definitely recommend this property. ##### Erika B. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### AJ H. 4 Jan 2019 #### Best view! We had 3 families that shared this cozy home for a week. The home is beautifully decorated and well stocked. There was plenty of room for us all, but the bathroom situation was a bit of an issue. The are 2 bathrooms, but only one shower. Getting all 11 of us ready in the morning was really challenging, but overall, our stay was great! ##### AJ H. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary P. 2 Jan 2019 #### Outstanding property...! The photos don't do this place justice. Very comfortable and relaxing. We have two kids in college at Texas Tech. One in his 2nd year of Law School and a daughter who is a Junior. We wanted a place for them to relax after completing final exams. This house was PERFECT for that. Not in town... but close enough if you need to go there. Quiet... comfortable... roomy and pet friendly for our rotten schnauzer that has to go with us! I would highly recommend this property! ##### Gary P. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jan & Randy W. 29 Dec 2017 #### A beautiful home for a large group, stocked with everything you could possibly need. Tammi and Dave were wonderful and accommodating hosts for our family Christmas ski trip. Tammi added a high chair for our grandson and Dave kept the hot tub running perfectly for our enjoyment. The home is great for large groups or families. Lots of space to spread out. Casa de Quentos was a great home away from home for our Christmas holiday. The only thing they they didn’t provide this year was snow! Maybe next time. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Jan & Randy W. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Priscilla P. 13 Jul 2018 #### Very nice and private This home had almost everything you could need. Well stocked and beautiful. A lot of space for our group of 10 and 2 dogs. The only reason for a 4 and not 5 is the lack of curtains. The views were beautiful from the art studio during the day but the sun woke my kids up as sun rise. I would recommend not advertising this as a sleep area but rather an area to enjoy the lovely views the property has to offer. ##### Priscilla P. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### CONSTANCE R., Fort Worth, TX 27 Oct 2011 #### Nights Under the Stars at Casa de Cuentos My husband and I enjoyed 4 weeks at the comfortable Casa de Cuentos in August - a wonderful relief from the Texas heat. We never missed the A/C! Casa de Cuentos is perfect for a family gathering with the 2 living areas and pool table which was really enjoyed by all. The caretakers of the property were so very helpful - anything you needed or had a question about they were right there for you. The Love Apple Restaurant proved to be one of our very favorite dining spots! There were humming birds all month long out on the deck and if you were up early you could see the hot air balloons off the back patio. We would recommend Casa de Cuentos as a true Taos experience! ##### CONSTANCE R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Geoff S. 28 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent stay in the Enchanted Land This was a perfect stay for our group of seven skiing and exploring in Taos. The house is spectacular and sprawling with multiple living spaces and bed areas. The views from the artist studio are exceptional and the house is well situated into this stunning environment. We made good use of the outdoor fire circle, hot tub, guitar, and multiple indoor entertainment spaces. The kitchen and the bar were well appointed and the host communication was excellent. Only wanted addition might be another bathroom/shower if we had more people - but was not a hindrance to the experience. Enchanting indeed. Thank you Tammi and Dave - I hope to have the opportunity to return! ##### Geoff S.

This was my dream home - I absolutely LOVED it! Our family met at Casa de Cuentus for a family vacation coming from Kansas City, California and NYC. It was our first VRBO experience, and what a wonderful experience! It was beautiful, peaceful and oh so relaxing. We enjoyed all the comfortable living spaces, and I especially loved the art studio with the 360 degree views. I just kept sitting in different places to enjoy all the relaxing locations in this house! We also loved being able to bring our dogs and they loved the fenced outdoors and the deck. Tammi and Dave have wonderful decorating taste and every room had so many special touches that made a huge house feel warm and cozy! We will definitely be back, and we'll recommend this house to our friends. Thank you, Tammi and Dave! ##### Nancy D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adriane S., Murphy , TX 14 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful oasis! Although the property was a bit "out of the way", it was by far, the most beautiful VRBO we have ever been to (and we tend to pick REALLY great ones)! We were honestly impressed and the kids asked if we could move in....lol!! The master bed was crazy comfy. The upstairs add-on room got a bit warm in the sun but has views that cannot be matched. Literally the most incredible, panoramic views I've seen of the mountains. Only recommendation I have would be converting the closet in the living area/bar into a full bath. The property sleeps so many, that we'd love to come back with another family... but 2 baths can be restricting with several people. Overall, one of the top properties we've ever rented. VERY impressed. ##### Adriane S. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2020 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie P., San Antonio, TX 21 Mar 2012 #### Great home! We just returned from a 4-night stay at this lovely home. There were two families, 4 adults and 3 children and we had room for probably a whole other family! The house is nice than the pictures, so much room, well taken care of, and the views from every angle are gorgeous. We ski'd Taos while we were there, and it was an easy 20 minute drive or so to the moutain, and about 15 minutes to town. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful, even offering recommendations for restaurants for us to visit that were good for small children (Michaels Kitchen and Pizanos were both great!) and preferred grocery stores to stock up and cook in the roomy kitchen. Our only complaint and tip for the owners would be to replace the mattress in the 2nd bedroom (across from hall bathroom) as it is completely worn out and angled so that you constantly fall down towards the foot of the bed. We actually played musical beds with the other couple several nights so that we could each get a good night's sleep in the very comfortable master king bed. Twice the adults ended up on the futon in the living room as it was more comfortable than the second bed. The queen in the 3rd bedroom was comfortable, and all the bedding was very soft and high quality. Thank you for a great stay! ##### Julie P. ### 8/10 Good #### Malachi B. 18 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Lovely Home! But be careful of messaging before booking. Great place to stay. Tammi & Dave were very responsive. Sometimes the amount of content in their messages can come off as a little aggressive, but one can understand why they do that with being in that industry and most likely them being burned before. While they give you a lot of rules and even upped the price on us last minute which was cold but I guess part of the business for them, overall it was pleasant trip and even with the last second price hike it was the only option that worked for the size of my family and we'd stay again. Only one shower was not a problem for us, but it could be with some. Especially since they require you take a shower before getting in the hot tub. We just opted for not using the hot tub because of this which wasn't a bummer as we still utilized the fireplace and enjoyed the scenic views. If you're kind and courtesy to Tammi & Dave and respectful of their home as if it was your own, I doubt you will have any problem. Just make sure you book the home when you see it available and do not message them first as this will result in a price increase. We give it five stars for everything but the accuracy of the price of the home as they changed it on us as we were messaging them to book it. If you don't mind that then you will love this place. Five stars for everything else. ##### Malachi B.

Charming property with all amenities one could want. Location is about as close as one can get without renting a condo in Ski Valley itself. Perfect spot to get away from it all for our first time in years. Prime shopping is as close as the ski slopes if you aren't a ski buff. Excellent communications with our hosts before and during the stay with written guidance and suggestions on everything involved with the stay. Certainly would see about staying there again. ##### Mark E.

We had a fantastic stay at the House of Stories. Firepit and hot tub favorites of mine. This house is so large you could get lost. It was beautifully decorated and very clean. 10 stars for the people and views. Sue & Greg Milewski ##### Susan M.

Casa de Cuentos is a beautiful home with incredible views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Taos Plateau. The house looks at least as good -- if not better -- than the photos posted by Tammi and Dave. It is quiet, peaceful and comfortable. Loved using the hot tub after a day of hiking. Made s'more on the outside firepit. The 360-degree views from the second-floor bedroom are amazing -- our son loved sleeping up there. All the beds were comfortable. Lots of living space for a six-person group like ours to spread out. Tammi was always prompt in response to questions we would ask her. It is clear that she and Dave have spent a lot of time keeping the property in top shape. I would definitely recommend Casa de Cuentos for families and friends looking for an awesome Taos base camp. ##### Dan A.

The views of the surrounding mountains are phenomenal and the addition of the upper story studio completes the package! Plenty of room for families or friends to gather (inside and out) and the kitchen is well-stocked. We definitely plan on returning! ##### Wendy S.

Tanmi and Dave are clearly experienced and professional. The house was clean, well appointed and comfortable. The design was fun which allowed for 4 young girls to have a very enjoyable loft experience together. There are multiple areas to relax and the mountain views from the main living area are spectacular. It was the perfect base for us to have for all the snow adventures that we did. The only complaint is that the week went by too quickly! We would love to come back. ##### Mark S.

The location really can’t be beat. We were able to easily access Red River, the gorge, Taos Ski Valley and Taos. The house was immaculately clean and very well appointed. Seriously have all the comforts of home here. The outside living space is perfect for a relaxing evening. The upstairs art room kept our littles busy for hours throughout the trip. The kitchen is easy to prepare home cooked meals in which made eating-in much more enjoyable. We did need assistance at one point In our trip and the owners answered and assisted on the first ring. They were kind and prompt and provided excellent communication from the beginning of the booking until the end. Will absolutely return. ##### Ashley S.

We enjoyed out stay at Casa De Cuentos immensely. Tammi and David take great care of the home. The property offers a number of really nice amenities and special spaces. We struggled making up our minds where we wanted to hang out, Shaded patio? Hot Tub? Artist's nook? Cushy Comfy couch in the bar/living area? Fire Pit? After a long day of sight seeing, it was such a pleasure to come home to Casa de Cuentos! We now plan for Casa de Cuentos to be our staging waypoint for trips to the west. We also enjoyed the day trips out of Arroyo Hondo; Enchanted Circle, Santa Fe, John Dunn Bridge and the Rio Grande Gorge, D H Lawrence's Ranch, Taos Ski Valley. This property is highly recommended! ##### Steve G.

Tammy and Dave were excellent hosts, curating a host of recommendations for dining and adventure and always replied quickly to our questions. We cannot wait to return! ##### Jeff H.
