About this property

Close to Taos but a world away from tourists! Come home to authentic New Mexico

Charming, roomy home in Dixon, one of the last True New Mexico small towns. Relax into small-town life in the comfy one bedroom, one office home. Sleeping arrangements include master bedroom with king-sized Temperpedic, second bedroom with queen bed, and two living room sofas that could be made into beds. Enjoy the deep quiet of this stretch of the Embudo Valley, with its wineries, farms, and Embudo Creek. This home has everything you need. A spacious kitchen with island seating for four; living room with multiple sitting areas; dining room with room for six or more, and a second bedroom you can use as an office. Relax on the deck with outdoor dining seating and grill. The house has views from mesa to mesa with fantastic perspectives on both sunrises and sunsets. Dixon provides small-town living at its best and has everything you need. The famous Dixon Co-op grocery store is fully stocked and there’s a library, second-hand store and radio station. The local elementary school reminds you that real families are still enjoying the best countryside living. You can too! 30 minutes from Taos, 30 minutes to skiing in Sipapu (where the locals go), 50 minutes to both Santa Fe and Los Alamos. Biking, hiking, river rafting on the Rio Grande, artists and studio tours. Under 2 hours from the Albuquerque airport but a world away.

Great little slice of heaven
This property was perfect for our family ski trip to Sipapu. A secluded location but we enjoyed the local shops and the house had everything we needed.

Pleasant, peaceful time in Dixon
Nicely stocked house, easy to find. Stayed about 5 days with my partner. Spacious, well stocked kitchen, fast internet. It had snowed before we arrived - we were fine getting up the driveway hill with an all wheel drive vehicle. we kept warm in the house with the baseboard heat and wood stove

Perfect Getaway
Everything was exactly as described, we found the home stocked with everything we needed! We felt at home immediately and loved the proximity to so many things. Beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked with everything we needed to cook. Rainfall shower head was nice after a day exploring on the trails. Would absolutely stay here again.

Keep this FABULOUS place a secret!
This casa was the ideal for my visit to NM. The wonderful community of Dixon is just down the road - Santa Fe & Taos are close by too. It was so peaceful, I spent one entire day enjoying the deck and view. The place is beautifully appointed & comfortable, I felt immediately at home. This will be my go to accommodations whenever I’m in Dixon. BONUS for me - turns out the host’s hometown is my adopted home of 40 years, we discovered we had MANY friends & acquaintances in common. This is an awesome Vbro!

Okay To Sleep In
The house was extremely dirty and dusty. There were cobwebs with dead spiders in them everywhere, and stains on all the curtains. I couldn’t place the smell when I was there but after returning home I’ve had to wash EVERYTHING including my bag because it all smelled like cigarette smoke. Very odd that there was no TV (although not a deal breaker). We really only used the house to sleep in as we traveled to Santa Fe and Taos during the days. It definitely needs some TLC and renovations but it was pleasant otherwise.
