Casa Verde, the Casita Center

This casita is located on a quiet one block dead end street just three blocks from the Plaza. It has a living / dining room combination. The dining table seats four and looks out at the rear courtyard garden. The living room area has a loveseat sofa sleeper with all bedding available. Good gel foam mattress. There is a wood burning kiva fireplace in the corner of the living room. Fragrant cedar firewood is provided for guests. Screened operable windows throughout the casita provide nice ventilation in summer. Each of the three exterior doors are screened. The living room and bedroom have ceiling fans. Enjoy a mountain view from the front living room window and a garden view from the dining area. The well equipped kitchen has everything you might need for meals at home. The tiled counter tops are just plain fun! The full bathroom with tub/shower combination is also newly tiled and well equipped. There is a queen bedroom with good reading lights, dresser and closet space with robes provided. This casita has total privacy since it is surrounded by a tall stucco wall.The courtyard is landscaped with in ground plants and also big ceramic pots with seasonal color. Large trees shade this area nicely in the summer and the shade structure provides long season outdoor living. The patio has table and chairs and a BBQ. There is also a cushioned bench under an elm tree for relaxing. A large number of my whimsical recycled garden art pieces are displayed throughout the courtyard. As with all my properties Casa Verde is dog friendly and when the front gate is closed your dog has a nice outdoor space. I provide dog sheets for sofa and bed as well as mutt mitts for clean up. I do charge $10 per dog per night which may be left behind at departure.
Casa Verde is part of a compound. Each of the three units may be rented separately of course or the entire compound may be rented and will sleep up to twelve guests.
There is off street parking for each unit. On the property is also a laundry room for guest use.
This downtown compound was featured on the 2017 Taos Home & Garden Tour. On a Saturday in August 500 tour goers had a chance to check out my style. A fun day indeed!
If Casa Verde is booked for your dates please look at Casa Azul on the same property Vrbo 797997.
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Great Location
This is a great place with the perfect location, a short walk away from the plaza. The Casita was actually bigger than we expected. We really enjoyed the outdoor space - it was nice to sit out, enjoy the great weather and grill up some steaks. Also appreciated the free laundry on site. Would stay here again for sure!

Casa Verde
Casa Verde was a quiet place with many areas to foster art, I brought water colors and knitting. I also brought books and a journal. The outside spaces were charming and comfortable. The kitchen was equipped and the bed was comfortable. The town and restaurants were in walking distance. I enjoyed walking the neighborhood and felt safe. Melissa would respond quickly when I needed something. I hope to return and stay longer. Margaret

We will go back!
Casa Verde was the perfect place for my adult daughter and I to stay. We were delighted with the authentic New Mexico Casa. Lots of fun original art and Talvera accent tiles throughout. It was spotless with a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable bed. My daughter brought her dog and it was so nice that the property was pet friendly. The patio and courtyard was very pleasant and we enjoyed having coffee out back every morning. The host was personable and easy to communicate with. We highly recommend Casa Verde and plan on returning for our next visit to Taos.

Short stay in Taos
Stopping in Taos for a few days,coming back to Texas from Colorado. Casa Verde very close to town square and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Home in quiet neighborhood and nicely decorated. We came with our 2 pups and home had a fenced in yard with a covered back porch. Melissa provided sheets for couch and bed to protect from pups.

Ideal location with a artistic vibe
Melissa’s Casa is beautiful. The accommodations provide an ideal indoor/outdoor experience. We loved her decor. We walked all around the Taos Plaza. We did day trips out to the Taos Pueblo and Earthships as well as Red River. We had an amazing trip. Thanks for sharing your place.

Casa verde
The property manager was amazing to work with and this place is super cute and in a great location… We actually loved it. The only feedback I would have is it needs some pretty updated cleaning. There was lots of dust, bunnies spiderwebs hair on the floor… But I would definitely stay there again it just needs to be cleaned.

Walking distance to town, clean we both wished there was better more comfortable furniture in the main room it was just a loveseat to sit on for the 2 of us unless you wanted to sit at the dinning room table. Bedroom and bathroom was nice
