This wonderful 300 yr old adobe home has been recently renovated and is connected by a private courtyard. Adjoining Casa de Flores, the Gallery Casita is located on picturesque Ledoux St. just minutes from the Taos Plaza and Bent Street Shops. Attractions on the street include restaurants, art galleries, the Harwood and Blumenschein Museums.
Originally the barn, the front Casita of the Gallery Casitas has beautiful wood vigas, and a cozy gas fireplace. This 250 sf front bedroom has a queen sized bed, gas fireplace, cable tv and bathroom with shower.
Across the courtyard, the back part of the casita has beautiful vaulted ceilings, original adzed beams and paint splatters on the floor from years of use as Bill Rane's artist studio. Measuring 900 sf, it has a beautiful new kitchen with stainless steel appliances, new bath shower with colorful talavera tiles, queen size sofabed, and a wonderful bright living area with cable TV and a king sized bed. The back Casita is an open area with the living/dining/sleeping areas adjoining each other. The back Casita has its' own separate entrance from the street, via a covered passageway.
There is a wonderful private courtyard for relaxing and enjoying the cool Taos evenings.
The front and back casitas can be rented separately for smaller groups or rented with Casa de Flores #61210 next door together for larger groups. Please note - the two bedrooms are in separate buildings - which makes the Casitas perfect for two couples or families with older children.
Pets welcome on approval. Please read our House Rules.
The entrance to Ledoux St is very small and narrow and will not accommodate RV's or campers. Parking is sometimes limited during weekdays and may not be available right in front of the house, but it is always plentiful at night and on weekends.
This is a 100% non smoking property - both inside the home, on the patios and outside in the courtyard or driveway.
