Perfection!

We recently spent 4 wonderful nights in Casita de Vistas located in the charming community of Arroyo Seco (not Valdez as some listings incorrectly state). Honestly, we did not want to leave. The Casita had everything we needed (and then some) and its location is both quiet and beautiful. We happened to meet one of the owners on a couple of occasions and she was delightful. We wouldn't hesitate a minute to return to this lovely place if headed back to Taos.
