Further details for this holiday house rental in Taos, USA

Location & Activities: Since the ½ mile private gravel road on which we are located, can be snowy in winter (we hope it will be anyway!), 4 wheel drive vehicles are preferred during ski season, although front wheel drive is usually just fine. In Summer any vehicle is just fine. Activities: Downhill and cross-country skiing, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, golf. Gallery browsing, shopping, museums, arts & crafts festivals, Native American Dances & ceremonials. Art workshops, Music Festivals, Wine Tastings and best of all: just relaxing! Area: Casa Truchas is located in a very quiet neighborhood as there are only a few neighbors. All the houses around are on 3+ acres and the land is covered in pinon and juniper trees. We are on the slope of the mountains as they rise up, which is why you look out over the trees to the views.

The views are of the Jemez Mountains about 60 miles away (highlighted by the sparkling lights of Los Alamos), of the Truchas Peaks about 45 miles away and of the sweep of the Taos Valley (including the Town of Taos) and the Rio Grande Gorge where the Rio Grande River cuts through this broad expanse. Casa Truchas is at an elevation of 8,000 feet and the town of Taos (about 10 miles away) is at 6,500 feet. As a comparison, the base of Taos Ski Valley is at 9,200 feet, about 10 miles away in the other direction. Because of the slope of the land you drive into the Casa down the main driveway. From there you have your choice of parking in any of the automatic garages.

The Casa can comfortably sleep 7-11 guests; two bedrooms with king and queen size beds, one bedroom with full size bunkbeds and trundle bed, queen size sofa bed in the living room and full size sofa bed in the den. The Casa is equipped with washer & dryer, TV/DVD, telephone with answering machine, and gas BBQ grill on the deck. A selection of chilled beverages and hot drink mixes are available to welcome you to Casa Truchas. All linens, towels, kitchen utensils and crockery are available in abundance. However, please try and call at the local supermarket in Taos for supplies before your arrival as there is no supermarket in Arroyo Seco.

Steve,

We had a great week at Casa Truchas with our college kids and several friends. We loved the skiing, the fire pit, the awesome view from the Casa and the wonderful setting. We hope to come back again soon!

Review Submitted: December 14, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2008
Our family had a wonderful time staying at Casa Truchas during the Thanksgiving holiday. Family members came from Park City, Denver, Chicago, and Saskatoon. The Casa and Casita were very comfortable, the patio and yard were very nice, and all was located in a beautiful setting. The location is great: close enough to town, but secluded. We were able to walk down to Arroyo Seco for meals and hike into the woods from the house. This location was chosen as a continuation of a family Thanksgiving tradition of staying at Taos, and we now plan to continue the tradition at Casa Truchas. Steve, you have a beautiful property and are a wonderful host. Thank you for everything you did to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We look forward to seeing you again.
Owner's Response: Thanks Paula for your very kind words, you have a wonderful family and it was a pleasure meeting you all. We hope to see you next year. P.S. Its snowing hard here now.....!!!

A very nice house, comfortable and well equipped. The views are incredible in all directions and the location secluded. Don't settle for a rental in the flats, get this one at the base of the mountains for an elevated view. Perfect for easy access to all the enchanted circle sights.

Review Submitted: August 11, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
This was the best vacation we've had in many years! Casa Truchas helped make it the most romantic & relaxing trip we could hope for! Steve made sure that our stay was perfect! The house was first class. The view is spectacular no matter what time of the day, sunrise, sunset, and at night. The house is secluded and private! You are close to all the activities of Taos but at 8,000 feet above sea level you are close to nature and the beauty of the enchanted mountains. If you are looking for a vacation full of outdoor activities or a place where you can relax in a peaceful setting, where you can forget about the stress of your everyday life, then Casa Truchas is the place for you!!!
