Casa Carlos Authentic Historic Adobe -Walk to Plaza -Hot Tub- Mini Split A/C

This is a lovely 2 bedroom 1 bath property. Large King bedroom, 2nd bedroom with queen bed, luxurious bath with oversized shower, living room, dining room, kitchen with laundry, outdoor walled garden with hot tub, deck/patios and pond. This property is no longer pet friendly.

200 year old Casa Carlos will feature a 1 ton 12,000 BTU mini split air conditioner beginning in May 2024!

Town – 3 blocks to Taos Plaza, 18 miles to Taos Ski Valley. Easy walk to shops, restaurants and galleries. National Register of Historic Places. Professionally landscaped and enclosed yard.

Casa Carlos, dating to the early 1800s, is one of the few properties in Taos available for rental that is listed in both the National Register of Historic Places (United States Department of Interior) and the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties. The former home and studio of Charles “Carlos” Berninghaus, a noted Taos artist and son of Oscar Berninghaus, who was one of the founders of the Taos art colony in the 1920s. This beautiful example of an adobe casita was authentically restored and beautifully landscaped by its former owner, the founder of Taos’ El Monte Sagrado Resort. The interior, exterior and grounds have been carefully preserved and methodically tended to make this home a treasure for returning guests who call Casa Carlos their “home away from home”. A complete, historically sensitive renovation of all interior spaces was completed in 2020. A rare feature for a Taos vacation rental is the home’s private walled garden, which features a gorgeous pond, trickling water, shade trees, diverse and flowering plant life, visits from many beautiful varieties of birds and butterflies, and a grassy area. A private hot tub, multiple seating areas, an outdoor gas grill, and exterior lighting are also features of the garden. The current owners have refurnished the home in colonial period Mexican, Indian, Indonesian/Dutch, Romanian and California Rancho Monterey antique furnishings, as well as original art and print photography from Mexico and the Southwest.
The home features a beautiful King bedroom, and a 2nd bedroom containing a queen size bed, a mock kiva fireplace and historic charm.

The home is an easy stroll into town and Taos Plaza for meals, or utilize the home’s fully equipped modern kitchen to dine in, or grill outside and dine al fresco in the garden. The home is stocked with games, puzzles, playing cards/ poker chips, books, DVDs/movies, vinyl records and turntable, and cable/Blue Ray entertainment system for family time and relaxation in the beautifully furnished living area, which features coved viga ceilings, a kiva fireplace, and abundant natural light.

Additional architectural features include historically preserved coved and viga ceilings throughout, a gas kiva fireplace, custom ironwork, vintage Spanish Colonial lighting, radiant heated Saltillo tile floors, 3 foot thick 200 year old adobe walls, vintage and historical doors, and custom made cement tilework from San Luis Potosi, Mexico in the kitchen and bathroom.

Casa Carlos will restore your senses and “recharge your batteries” in a gorgeous and authentic home of history, character, and Northern New Mexican charm. “Nuestra casa es su casa/Our home is your home”.

Charming Casita Close to Town
This property has so much character. Lots of local/indigenous art. Very well equipped kitchen. Large comfortable spaces to hang out. The best part for us, though, was the back yard. A hot tub, a beautifully maintained garden with a small pond and waterfall. Several places to sit with tables and chairs. Short walk to town and short drive to many interesting sites and restaurants. Safe neighborhood. We loved it here.

Amazing place and location.
Casa Carlos was the perfect spot for my family of 3. Very easy check in and out process. Close to downtown shops and restaurants. Easy drive to Taos Ski valley. The place is exactly as pictured. Very comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub and everything Casa Carlos had to offer. We are already planning our next trip back to Taos and will definitely stay here again.

Great Location
Easy access to downtown and shopping. Great character and cosy. One issue is the bed in the main bedroom. It slopes to the middle and it is very firm. If that’s your preference, then I would say it is fine. It could use another mattress and topper to make this stay an A+.

Mother & Daughters Getaway
My sister and I take our 92-year-old mother somewhere every year for a getaway, This year we chose Taos, since Mom hadn't been there in over 50 years. We had a lovely time walking the old town squares of Taos and Santa Fe. This home is walkable to several areas and close to a great grocery store. We walked every day, came home for a quick soak in the hot tub, then had a quiet dinner every evening. The home was sparkling clean and well stocked with everything we needed, as well as great instructions for using the amenities (fireplace, hot tub, etc.). We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone traveling to Taos. The charming, authentic decor really got us into the mood to enjoy the area, which a more modern hotel or condo wouldn't have done. Five Stars all the way! Just be prepared to navigate in Taos with it's narrow streets and odd corners, it's great to have a place where you can walk and not drive (or have to park) very much! Don't miss the drive up to the ski valley, it's so beautiful in the mountains!

Charming Casa Carlos
Property was lovely. The location was perfect. The caretakers, Bill and Linda were great. The kitchen and pantry were well stocked. Plenty of towels. The Casa did get a little warm for us during the day but might be fine for others (76 degrees). The indoor seating options were not that comfortable and the bed was too firm for us. But we are older and have arthritis so it might be fine for younger folks.

This place was the best we’ve experienced in all the years we’ve rented houses either with VRBO or AB&B!! Great location near village center, bed was great, everything you needed was available. Coffee maker, utensils, paper products(tp, paper towels) etc. lots of space with 2nd bed room, back yard garden was fantastic. Very quiet for eating ,reading, and just relaxing with the soft sound of the fountain/ pond!!! Definitely recommend this place and we will most likely rent again if we come back this way

Taos Holiday at Casa Carlos
This is the second time we have stayed at Casa Carlos. The house is perfect for us and with the fenced backyard our lab also really enjoys the area. The location is very close to the Taos Plaza and in walking distance to restaurants near the plaza including a number of restaurants that are pet friendly. The kitchen is very well stocked so we usually cook breakfast in the Casa and then go hiking around Taos after which we eat out in the evening. The wifi and TV work very well and the house has a wide range of DVDs so there is no shortage of entertainment. The house keeper, Linda, is very responsive so when we were having a problem with the DVD she came right over and sorted out the issue. As I indicated this is the second time we have stayed in Casa Carlos and we are already making plans for next year.
