This beautiful little abode is set in an old juniper and piñon pine forest. It's really quite magical, and you don't see this type of forest with such tall trees normally. This was home to Native Americans for many years, and you can still feel their spirits. I created this place for you to connect with the land and connect with your heart. Relax and unwind in nature, go out on adventure, or enjoy music and art in Taos. Stay as long as you can! The space: This compound is enchanting. The Stick Casita, (casita means "little house"), has one bedroom with a full bed and a twin bed, and then a twin daybed in the living room. There is also a full bathroom and kitchenette in this casita. Nearby is a camper trailer- no bath or kitchen but great for being outside but in a bed. There are also 5 tent sites nearby- be sure to bring your own gear! Good fiberoptic WiFi. Guest access: You'll have access to the double loop walking trail, (about 1.5 miles), that's shared with the adjacent property. Other things to note Whether or not you want local art, active adventure, indigenous culture, or a relaxing soak, every evening you will find yourself in the peaceful quietude of the surrounding forest and its natural inhabitants. This is an excellent getaway for couples, small families, close friends, or harried individuals in search of peace. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Massage ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee - Chef service - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Stereo - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Porch/lanai ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the mountains - On a river ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rafting nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,200 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/88000000/87820000/87819500/87819465/0f4c767f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### At Home in the Enchanted Forest of Carson between Taos & Ojo Caliente!

Mar 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stars were amazing It’s a pretty isolated property. Lots of peace and serenity. The kids did dogs and s’mores after building a campfire. If you have a Tesla this probably isn’t the best place. Taos does not have a supercharger and the closest one is in Sante Fe. Actually I would stay away from Taos all together if you have a Tesla. Other than that ( it’s not the property fault) the place was great. Had a neat hiking trail, fire pit, some neat art work in the typical New Mexico vibe. If you love nature this is a great place! ##### Kurt S.
