You will love it here! Casa Montoya is a very romantic, charming adobe vacation rental house 2 blocks from historic Taos Plaza. The tall cottonwood trees in the backyard keep the house cool in summer and provide a graceful backdrop for the private hot tub. You won’t need to wear a swimsuit when you watch the stars in the hot tub -
there’s a tall fence surrounding it. The new high-end furniture is a suave mixing of old country charm and sophisticated comfortable furnishings designed by an award-winning designer from Paris. Cook a great meal in the big kitchen which is fully equipped, and let the dishwasher do the dishes - or walk to the wonderful restaurants
nearby. The bathroom (tub and shower) has Mexican tile and hand-painted sink. The floors in the house are wood and Saltillo tile. You’ll sleep well in the King bed in the bedroom with four big pillows and three small ones. For more than two guests, there’s a Queen sofa bed in the living room. The brick patio is for outdoor eating or relaxing in summertime.
You can enjoy a romantic weekend or longer vacation and delight in all the amenities of home in this ‘magical, enchanting abode’ (words of a guest.) Bring your laptop: we have DSL and wireless internet connection. Cable TV, HBO & Showtime. VCR & DVD player, CD & stereo, dishwasher, gas grill, humidifier, yoga mat, 8 & 10 lb. weights.
Cooking utensils, linens, towels and firewood provided. Laundry room with washer and dryer. This is a non-smoking rental. And I love
children but it is not appropriate for small children. And sorry, no pets so our guests with allergies can breathe easy.
Considered ’sacred’ by many of the residents, Taos Mountain is a world-class ski resort. Taos has a rich history and cultural heritage, with numerous galleries, museums and festivals you can walk to from Casa Montoya. You’ll love this place - only fabulous people have stayed here!

VIEW CLEAR LAKE AND MOUNT KONOCTI FROM THE TOP OF NICE, CALIFOR
Location - Nice, Clear Lake, North Coast, California, USA

Sacramento - San Francisco - Mendocino Coast - Giant Redwoods
Accommodations - Beautifully furnished 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with 70 foot view shed deck and Garden Room. Sleeps 6 easily - 2 cal king - 1 double
From the large deck you will enjoy exquisite views of Mount Konocti and Clear Lake as well as look down on the village of Nice while enjoying your BBO and liquid refreshments. One side of the deck enjoys the shade while viewing the hillside and the Lake and the other side of the Garden Room on the deck enjoys the sun most of the day for you sun worshipers. This area is also where the electric BBQ and comfortable patio furniture is located. A pass thru window to the kitchen is provided for your convenience.
Our home is said to have the Ambiance of “Quiet Elegance”, decorated in family heirloom antiques and collectibles. The living and dining rooms have vaulted ceilings enhanced by a charming glass doored wood burning fire stove, to make your evening romantic and peaceful summer or winter.
The Master Suite has its own bath with large tub for long bubble bath soaks (we provide the bubble bath) and a separate stall shower. A French door from the bedroom opens onto the deck to enjoy the morning fresh air and music from the birds. A great place for your morning coffee.
Our middle bedroom sports a vintage computer (dial-up with windows 98) should you need to retrieve e-mail or make contact with the real world.
The kitchen is designed for your convenience and ease in food preparation and clean up. Our stove is electric self-cleaning and the refrigerator is side by side doors with ice and water in the door. Frosted vintage beer mugs and ice cream dishes are in the freezer waiting for you. The dishwasher makes clean-up a breeze and the recipe desk is great for copying recipes from the vintage cook books.
If you are looking for bright lights and hot spots down the street - our home is not for you. Conversely, if you are looking to lay back with a good book (lots are there), watch vintage movies (lots are there on CD), play board games (yes, lots are there also), or just get a little close to nature, then our home will fill your bill.
You will feel that you are on top of the world but most any commercial amenity is but minutes away.

New 600 sq ft house in the rear of my very private acreage. So quiet and peaceful, you should see the stars at night! Features a deck overlooking the stunning beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, completely furnished in my artsy style. The area is known for it’s artists and the world known Penland School of Crafts/ Gallery. There is so much to do for the outdoor person that you will never be bored. Relax in the evening with a bottle of wine from the wine bar while grilling tofu and watching the sun set over the mountain. OK, maybe a good ribeye instead.
