Casita de Alfrero is the perfect romantic getaway for couples who enjoy the desert climate and want to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This quaint stucco home is located in El Prado, New Mexico—a small town nestled in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. This area is known for its beautiful scenery and mild weather, and has long been a popular destination for artists and nature lovers. This "Casita," or little home, offers stunning desert mountain views and is surrounded by cacti and other desert plants. Less than 20 minutes from the historic town of Taos, this is the perfect home base for exploring the surrounding area.

Taos is known for its vibrant art scene, as well as its diverse array of shops and restaurants. Home to a number of different sites and attractions, such as the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, this small town pays homage to the famed artist and the beautiful work she created while in town. You can also check out other historical sites like Taos Pueblo, Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, and more.

Visitors to Taos enjoy hiking, biking, golfing, whitewater rafting, and horseback riding in the summer. In the winter, Taos becomes a ski haven for skiers and snowboarders alike—as this area offers world-class terrain, significant snowfall, and an abundance of après-ski opportunities. Less than 30 minutes from the ski areas, you and your guest can quickly find your way onto the mountain tops.

As you enter this 1-bedroom, 1-bath home-away-from-home, you'll admire the simplicity of its design, which requires less energy in the summer and winter months. You and your guest will feel at home on the cozy couch or oversized armchair as you reminisce about old times or quietly watch television to unwind after a long adventurous day. The large windows and natural lighting flooding into the room give it a nice glow at sunrise and sunset.

When making a romantic home-cooked meal for two, you'll find the size of the kitchen in Casita de Alfrero perfect. With wood cabinets and plenty of tile counter space, you can prepare meals or enjoy a cocktail while the chef finishes. You'll appreciate the gas range oven, microwave, coffee maker, and toaster in the morning when you need a quick meal before heading out for the day.

If you're more interested in grilling out, step out onto the patio dining area that includes a table, four chairs, and a fire pit. Use the outdoor gas grill to make BBQ or steaks. Don't forget to take advantage of the evenings in New Mexico! Enjoy unobstructed views of the night sky with little to no light pollution.
