About this property
Red Cat House Vacation Apartment
Red Cat House is a one of a kind vacation rental apartment in Taos. When inquiring about vacation accommodations in town, an often asked question is 'Are you walking distance from the Plaza?' Red Cat House is unique in that it across the street from the Historic Taos Plaza. In fact there are Plaza, town and mountain views from every window. This apartment offers convenience combined with a peaceful and quiet, spacious yet cozy, home away from home for one or two guests.
Red Cat House is located on Dona Luz Lane, 'The Garden Street of Taos' (landscaped by me, a professional landscaper) This street boasts a wonderful variety of shops and restaurants. It was once the 'Red Light District' in town and La Dona Luz was a madame. Entry is down a little brick pathway surrounded by blooming plants with original outdoor art on all walls and an outdoor seating area. Upstairs is Red Cat House-a wonderful intimate world of its own. You will discover antiques, color and light, original art and whimsical touches in your own private little world. The sunny eat in kitchen is well equipped for morning coffee, a gourmet breakfast or a romantic dinner for two. The living room is a perfect spot for lounging with a comfortable couch, lamps, a flat screen TV, DVD's, books and a selection of music for just that right mood. Enjoy dinner at an 18th century walnut tilt top table for two looking out over the Plaza with a view of Taos Mountain in the distance. If you need to do a little work (not too much I hope), there is high speed internet available and a desk where you can write about your wonderful Taos adventures or even compose a spontaneous love poem if so inclined. Many of my guests enjoy my record player and collection of albums. The sunlight bathroom has a large shower, lots of towels, robes for two and some fun touches to discover. The bedroom is so very special with an antique queen size, pillow top, four post teak canopy bed, down comforter, fine linens and lots of pillows. I even have an electric mattress pad for chilly Taos nights. So nice to climb into a warm bed.Hang your clothes in a tall mirrored English oak armoire. The bedroom is cozy with a gas log stove. The multi paned windows are screened to allow you to enjoy our wonderful mountain air that just invites snuggling-so cozy and romantic. Summer visitors will enjoy window air conditioners in bedroom, kitchen and living room. There are also ceiling fans in living room and bedroom. If you can tear yourselves away from the comforts of Red Cat House, all of Taos is just outside your door. You are within easy walking distance of all Historic District shops, restaurants, galleries and museums. Ask me where to go for live music and special events during your stay so you can meet folks who enjoy life and all the richness Taos has to offer. I enjoy sharing the charms and stories of our town with visitors. Although this apartment is right downtown evenings are quiet; an advantage of these old Taos buildings with thick adobe walls. Red Cat House has so much to offer. This is a little slice of Paradise in Taos-the perfect vacation spot you will always remember. p.s. No significant other at the moment? Red Cat House is a perfect solo vacation spot too. As with all of my properties I am dog friendly. $10 per night per dog. You may leave on dining table upon departure or added to booking fee. I provide dog sheets for sofa and bed. Please use. I offer a generous 50% discount for stays over 30 days as well as a $100 per stay per pet fee. PLEASE NOTE: Even if my calendar shows a reservation for your dates take a look at Vrbo 513557 or Vrbo 598600. Both are similar apartments on the same street..Although the town has begun to charge for downtown parking the church lot on the corner is only $5 per day. Town lots are free after 6 and Sunday.

Very convenient location, super cute decor, nice comfy space.Owner was responsive to my questions. I'm glad that things worked out and she was able to honor my reservation that was made months earlier.
We were so happy to have found the Red Cat House to rent out for the week! Super cute and comfortable, a block to the plaza and so many shops and restaurants within walking distance. This is our first VRBO experience and we will definitely use it again!
Very eclectic apartment that we loved! Overlooking the Taos plaza. We were blessed with beautiful weather and had a good time even though we had to leave a day early.
While traveling cross country from the east coast, staying at Red Cat House in Taos, NM was absolutely the best stay ever. When first entering the apartment, one finds it clean, beautifully decorated with well thought out with useful and quality provisions. Melissa has gone a step above to make the apartment comfortable and inviting. Great location for leisurely walking, restaurants, dog park, shopping and hiking. Directions are clear and Melissa is easy to communicate with and always responds quickly. Thank you for an outstanding accommodation.
The apartment is a nicely decorated apartment in the heart of historic Taos. The central location made it easy to walk in the downtown area. There was a full kitchen with everything you needed to cook meals and a grocery store was just around rhe corner. The large living room window allowed wonderful morning sunlight in each day. I would definitely stay there again.
Very nice, spacious condo with typical Tasos adobe style . Location could not be better, right off the main plaza and walking distance to several museums and interesting restaurants. We particularly recommend Lamberts where we had our 40th anniversary dinner. The food, the wine, and the service was excellent, as was the tree-shaded patio.

Loved staying here and would totally do so again. Right across the street from Taos square and within walking distance to everything. Easy access and parking as well.
The property itself was very cool with excellent New Mexican decor and funky vibes - everything you want in a Taos bungalow! This is an historic building dating way back so the charm is abundant. Also, an excellent garden space for taking in the morning/evening with coffee/drinks.
Will be coming back for sure.
The location is great - in the heart of the action. At times it can be noisy (sirens) because it is so centrally located but that didn’t really bother us. The stairs are a bit steep but it is what it is - an old brothel (so Interesting and quirky). Loved the eclectic decor. I would lock away those albums!! We would definitely stay there again.
Wish we could have stayed longer! This was just a stopping off place on way back home! Definitely need to spend longer in area. Was in a good location close to shopping and eating. Thanks Melissa!
