?The beautiful Burch Street Casitas, or little homes, are nestled under towering 200 year old Cottonwood trees on private property.
The Casitas may be only four-years old but are loaded with Old World charm. They are light and airy with lots of windows to let in the New Mexico light and dramatic shadows. A separate door leads to a
spacious-covered patio and the shady yard, perfect for morning coffee or settling in with a book.
The hosts, Jim and Nancy, are former city folks and such a nice couple. Jim, a chef by trade, told us they designed the Casitas to be “What we like when we travel.”
The Casitas are very comfortable - more like a little home. They are on a quiet residential street three easy blocks from town. Almost like being in the country - no traffic noise or lights at night. Clean, up to date, relaxed. Each has a fully-equipped kitchen, stacked washer/dryer, cable TV,
and comfortable bed and bedding. The kitchen was perfect because we like fixing breakfast in rather than going out every morning. A couple of nights after long museum and gallery treks, we
heated up our restaurant leftovers and kicked back to watch a movie.
The good-looking rough hewn fence separating the Casitas from the owners’ property gave us complete privacy and seclusion. (If you need something, however, Jim or Nancy would be there
in a minute.) Santa Fe is a scenic hour and a half away, so we took a couple of day trips. It was nice to get back to Taos after the tourist chaos that is Santa Fe. The Burch Street Casitas are on our permanent Must-Stay List. |
