Log Casita Overlooking Pond and Waterfall near Taos, New Mexico | House in Taos Ski Valley
1 Bedroom House in San Cristobal, Taos Ski Valley
Known hangout for desperadoes, the Pond Casita was once a chicken coop. With some New Mexican cleverness this was transformed into the cottage it is. Dug down into the earth, the cabin stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Gather your fresh ranch eggs from across the yard at the henhouse. Later, find a hammock with a book under the ramada, or just listen to the cluck of our laying hens.
The Pond Casita has a separate bedroom with a queen size bed and a fold out couch in the open living room/kitchen/dining area. The fully equipped kitchen has a microwave, refrigerator and propane stove, and the bathroom has a shower. In the back is a small enclosed yard, and to the front a small fish pond.
The Pond Casita is located on a forty acre farm. Guests have access to the garden and the outside table, chairs, a hammocks (during warm weather) and a barbecue and a fire pit (only to be used with permission of the management due to the fire risk).

There is also an old apple grove in the of large ceremony field (open for wedding) and you are welcome to taste the different apple varieties.
Close to the cabins is an open barn with tables and benches. Guests are welcome to use the barn for meals and its a wonderful place to watch the sun go down over the distant mountains.
