Steam Shower Hot Tub-Fabulous Views! In & Out Fireplaces-Free Wood-444+ reviews!

Casita Ave Maria is everyone's favorite. She is a 900-square foot, OPEN designed casita that was created and built by the Clancys. Casita Ave Maria has over 444 positive reviews. NEW MEXICO SAFE CERTIFIED.

Casita Ave Maria showcases a radiused front wall that opens up the floor space and makes the large kiva fireplace a focal point. David Clancy sculpted the incredible kiva and colored it with the perfect hue to offset it on the adobe-colored plaster that adorns all the walls. Natural wood cabinets shaped and built by David, knotty pine doors and tongue and groove ceilings wrap their warmth around you as you sit in this spiritual space and gaze out the Southern windows at the canyon, the Southwestern windows at the valley below and amazing sun sets or the mountains from the Eastern patio. Our casita is private and you have the entire patio and hot tub for your use only.

The original design of this casita boasts a HUGE patio on the Southern side, a serpentine-paved patio edged with decorative block piers with lighting insets. The Southwestern side hosts a large patio which can be accessed out the bedroom door. A 6-person hot tub and grand, outdoor fireplace await your arrival on this side and you can sit in the hot tub and marvel at the valley and canyon views, watch the sun rise and set, or count the shooting stars at night.

Talavera-tile adorns the kitchen cupboards and kitchen island. Brick-paved flooring with RADIANT FLOOR HEATING warm every step you take in this precious space. All NEW, stainless steel appliances await your use. Large, stackable washer and dryer is in its own closet.

The bedroom area is in the OPEN area of the entire casita but tucked away in the SouthWest side of the open space. Air-conditioning added July 2022.

A door to the SouthWest patio is off of the bedroom area making quick visits to and from the hot tub or the outdoor fireplace delightfully easy!! Pets are welcome with a pet fee. $150.00 minimum for one pet for a maximum of a week. We strongly prefer only one pet--there is no fenced in yard. Please let us know the breed of your dog when booking.

Spirit-soothing STEAM shower is stunningly slate-tiled with a glass door that encloses you in what we call the ''Enchanted Cave'' shower. Steam and dream away!

Starting supplies of wood are supplied for your use in both the indoor and outdoor fireplaces, basic start-ups of some spices, laundry and dish soap and paper products are supplied for your pleasure. Exterior camera on driveway/parking area.

Dog/Pet Fee-$150 minimum pet fee for one dog up to one week.

Everyone loves Casita Ave Maria! You will, too!

We highly recommend Travel Insurance-we don't travel without it. #HO-25-2018-Permit number. Also of note-Winter 2025 we had little moisture. As a result, we often have red flag warnings as it is extremely dry-high fire danger. If the weather conditions are dry during your stay, indoor and outdoor fires will not be allowed. However, if we get sufficient moisture before and during your stay… They may be possible. Since we can’t predict the weather, this changes day to day.

Amazing Place

It was one of my favorite places I have ever stayed. Loved the outdoor space as well. The only 2 things that were not perfect is the barking dogs and some of the dishes/silverware had to be washed before using. Clean, all items for our use were in good condition. Bed was very comfortable. I would stay here again I. A heartbeat

Absolutely stunning place!

The casita was exactly as described, and even better! It had beautiful views, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, a fine hot tub that was good and warm at 20 degrees, and a snow event. The owner answered every text and message promptly and even volunteered to find us some help when our vehicle broke down! The location is perfectly between Taos and Red River, with no city lights or traffic. Taos-proper is only 10-15 minutes away, and there is a decent convenience store/restaurant 5 minutes down the road for items you forgot. We will definitely recommend this great place and will return when possible.

A magical slice of heaven, with a view!

This is by far the most wonderful place we’ve ever stayed! The attention to detail- and to beauty and coziness was just perfect. It’s a special place, made with such love and intention. We especially appreciated the fully stocked kitchen, plethora of interesting books, the steam shower, hand painted rocks with messages of inspiration - and of course the hot tub with a stunning view!

I can’t say enough great things about this property, from the views to the amenities. We felt at home and had all our little luxuries needed for a fabulous stay. The owner was quick to communicate with and provided great local ideas for dinners, groceries, etc. if you are in the Taos area this is a must stay place for a quiet remote stay. The stars and silence around is amazing. Thanks again

Nice place but restrictions

Hot tub was well maintained along with the premises. We were told not to use the outside fireplace in a communication from the owner but after the time we could cancel the reservation. That was not a big problem but probably should have given us notice or allowed cancellation. But After first night we were not allowed to use the indoor fireplace due to red flag warning. I would not recommend this property when taking the cost and the location but that’s just my opinion.

Canyon dream vacation

The house was more beautiful than the pictures had portrayed. It was stocked with all the comforts of home. The view was spectacular. Sunrise and sunsets were special events.. The property is only a few miles from Taos Ski Resort, downtown Taos and shopping, The Rio Grande Gorge, also Arroyo Seco. Tammi was so attentive to our needs. It was the perfect place to celebrate our 30th anniversary! We hope to return someday soon.

Away From Everything

We just wanted peace during the election results and to cook a nice meal, relax, enjoy nature, and prepare for reentry. This place was fantastic for that. Other than a few cobwebs, and dishes being washed by the last tenants (always a little creepy and not so effective) the place was very clean. When they say starter wood - we thought they meant kindling but really, they provide a lot of wood for the fireplace. The linens - both the towels and the sheets were very high quality.

We really enjoyed our stay at Casita Ave Maria. The place was exactly as described. Beautiful views from the deck and hot tub. Lots of windows so lots of natural light into the casita. Kitchen was stocked with all of the essentials. The shower was AMAZING as everyone else has said. Great location as it’s not directly in the town but also a short drive from TSV if that’s why you’re visiting. Can’t wait to come back and stay again.

Spectacular!

This is the perfect place to stay if visiting the Taos area. The place is close to everything and yet secluded and private so you feel you are by yourselves. The view is stunning and the amenities (the steam shower, hot tub, fireplaces - with wood provided) give you all the luxury you could want. The Casita itself is thoughtfully decorated with care and a love of the area. The hosts are great and provided much information in advance of our trip to help us plan. Communication was superb and they will help with anything. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone coming to the area!
