In the owner's words she tells us why this home may be just the one you are searching for to enjoy your valuable vacation time: 'In our mini-hacienda you are one block from the down town central plaza with all the wonderful food, art, shopping and museums you could wish for. At the same time your home base is nestled in a totally contained private home that has been hand-painted and crafted with love and which just 'feels good' to be in. We also offer to those family or friends traveling or celebrating together the choice of staying close but of having separate complete spaces when the need or desire arises. The second story unit (Blue Elk Up) has its own private entrance, private open deck, kitchenette, large living room and full bathroom with tub/shower combo. Blue Elk Down has two master bedrooms one with tub/shower combo & the other with walk in shower only. Both units have large enough living rooms for the entire group to gather for meals and visiting. This unique Up and Down separation is ideal for members needing quiet get-away time and space from the hustle and bustle of group activity. Please note these units do not have an interior flight of stairs connecting one to the other. From the downstairs patio you walk up an exterior flight of stairs to the upper unit. In the afternoon and evening you are footsteps away from some of the locals favorite restaurants and cafe's. At 'Blue Elk Casa' you will be staying in one of the most authentic historic Taos vacation rentals offered in Taos, New Mexico. Come and experience true Southwest charm and architecture with adobe walls, viga ceilings, kiva fireplaces, bancos and nichos!

Close to the plaza and restaurants. The description is misleading and is not 4br/3ba house. It is 2 units with small living areas and kitchens, and separate entrances (1 unit is upstairs). Not ideal for a medium/large group. Enough parking on the street for 1 vehicle, others park offsite and walk. ##### Damian R. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda N.

The house was clean and spacious. Our only issue was the parking. We were aware ahead of time that it was possible no street parking would be available but parking passes would be provided. Unfortunately, only two parking passes are provided. We rented both the up and down for our large party and had 3 cars. I reached out to the caretaker with no solution other than “watch for a car to leave” which never happened the first day. We had to park our car 2 streets over in a parking lot hoping it didn’t get towed. We spent our time the next day stalking the street parking and had to leave one of ours cars parked the remainder of our visit to secure safe parking. ##### Michele B.

Great location just a block from the plaza and a quick 30 min drive to Taos Ski Valley. They had everything we needed. One room ran a bit cold but there was a portable heater so that solved that issue. Beds could be a bit comfier, but I feel like every rental’s beds aren’t the best. Only other heads up is the book units key is particular, so you have to get to know it’s temperament. 😆 We had a great stay! The jacuzzi was clean and hot for us. We’d stay here again! ##### erin G.

This home made one feel a part of the community and local culture one would expect to experience in New Mexico. The grounds and interior were spacious, comfortable, and decorated in true southwest style. I would recommend Premiere Properties to anyone vacationing in the Taos area. ##### Rick B.

Reviewer Comments: The Blue Elk is in a wonderful location; the house is very close to the plaza. The upstairs gets pretty warm in the afternoon. If you are only renting half of the house I would suggest the lower half because there is only one bathroom upstairs. ### 10/10 Excellent #### David S. Jul 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy and convenient I rented the up and down for my two sisters, their husbands, my wife, and my mom. The location is just off the Taos square where there are plenty of shops and restaurants to choose from. The bedrooms were roomy and comfortable. The kitchen/living area is not huge, so having all 7 of us there at once was a little tight, but not too bad. We enjoyed taking in the sights around Taos, travelling to Santa Fe, the Taos Pueblo, the Gorge, and Red River. Parking for more than 2 vehicles can be a challenge. There was a parking pass for a nearby church which could have used a little explaining from the host. Overall, a very nice stay. ##### David S.
