Beautiful sanctuary to relax by the sounds of a river. Our hosts were communicative, as well as hospitable. The cabin was clean with comfortable furnishings. We also loved the wilderness setting, yet close to Taos & Santa Fe. Hope to return again someday!

The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Kris took great care to make us feel at home and make our stay easy and enjoyable. The location was great for exploring northern New Mexico. We will definitely stay again if we are back in the area.

Relaxing Week

This is one of the best vacation rentals we have stayed in. The cottage is even nicer than the pictures, with vaulted ceilings. It has a lovely deck with chairs next to the river that we enjoyed every day. The location is great for wine tasting at local wineries, and easy to get to Taos for museums, galleries, and restaurants. Our hosts were easy to communicate and have a house book with lots of great suggestions for local walks. We hope to return next year.

Spring break getaway

Away from the business of the towns in a beautiful canyon setting, close to the highway and all kinds of hiking and local eateries and wineries. House was clean, comfortable, with nice personable touches that made it feel welcoming. The hosts are wonderful, interesting folks who genuinely do give you complete privacy. We would totally go there again.

Gorgeous Get-a-way

My wife and I had a little get-a-way from the heat and hustle of ABQ at beautiful place in Dixon. The home was very comfortable and the artistic touches were very thoughtful. The property was such a wonderful escape with the running creek, the view of the starry sky, and the close proximity to the cute town of Dixon and fantastic hiking at the Santa Barbara campground. We would definitely book this property again!

When we encountered some unexpected news from home, they were so kind at accommodating and extending themselves. We would definitely recommend others stay here if they are in the Dixon area!

Perfect Spot for our New Mexico Vacation

We stayed in several places during our NM vacation and this one was the best by far. It exceeded our expectations and was even nicer in person. Our hosts were there to greet us and they couldn’t have been more friendly and responsive. Our only regret was not staying longer and heading for Taos for two nights. We could have easily explored all Taos had to offer from Dixon. Highly recommend this property and would love to return one day.

The perfect river hideaway!

This was the perfect, peaceful, River hideaway to relax & retreat after exploring the area all around. If you want a middle ground to explore many parts of the area including Taos, Santa Fe area this is your spot. Our host were friendly & wanted to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay! The sound of the River was amazing & the property is beautiful! Love the outside deck area.
