About Nora Dvosin & Jeffrey Karoff
We were renters ourselves for a few years in a row -- our friends Jonathan and Carolyn ran the vacation rental and we'd said back then, if you ever want to sell... Sure enough, when they were ready we were their first call, and we bought the property immediately.
Nora Dvosin & Jeffrey Karoff purchased this house in 1999
Why Nora Dvosin & Jeffrey Karoff chose New Mexico
We think we offer the best vacation rental property in Dixon. We are at the end of the road, with only wilderness beyond us. So we have this vast, protected, BLM natural preserve as our side and backyards. You can see our neighbors down the road about 100 yards, but that's about it. Otherwise, it's untouched.
What makes this house unique
We love going there ourselves - we are in Dixon 3-4 times a year. Somehow, we never tire of the intoxicating landscape, the air, the quiet, the extraordinary New Mexican skies, and the light. The banco under the ramada is one of the most magical spots. The ramada's pillars provide framed views of the landscape that remind us of Maxfield Parrish's idyllic worlds.

A great place!
We had a wonderful stay at the Adobe Home at the Edge of the Wilderness and are happy to give the home the highest rating. It is a beautiful house and is well situated for exploring the region. The house was very comfortable for two adults and three teenagers for a week. It was very clean and was furnished with everything we needed. We cooked several meals at the house, and the renovated kitchen was great. The land around the house is spectacular with hiking right out the door. The outdoor living spaces add to the experience and are a great way to enjoy the gorgeous scenery. Skiing is close, and it is easy to make day trips to nearby cities. The owners are easy to work with and responsive as was the local contact. We very much enjoyed our time at the Adobe Home and hope to visit it again!
A gem of a place
We stayed a month and wished it had been longer. Full of character and charm, this house is for people who love the beauty of the wild with all the comfort of civilisation! Loved the log fire, the chill out areas outside, the intense silence and the amazing stars at night. We cooked in the well-equipped kitchen, sampled the local artisan beers, hiked and skiied. Manager Candace was great too.
Tranquil Spot
It was everything we expected, a quaint adobe home on the edge of the winderness in a tranquil, quiet spot with wonderful amenities. The outdoor porches are a perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening while viewing the natural desert landscape. While there we visited the Valle Grande above Los Alamos, and did the beautiful loop from Taos to Eagles Nest and Red River. The local grocery in Dixon was convenient as we cooked meals in the wonderful kitchen. We took a short hike on the surrounding hills to get a perspective of the beauty of the setting. We enjoyed our stay very much and will be back.
quaint, quiet, quality
We have stayed at this property once a year for the past six years, a week at a time. We are always wowed by the outdoors, as we love the desert and the opportunity to exercise. The property abuts an arroyo (dry river bed) right next to government land. This means the house is at the end of the road, leaving the adjoining landscape serene and beautiful. The house is in great shape with just the right amount of furnishings and artwork. The kitchen is new. The beds, couches and chairs are comfortable. There is a dining table that seats six. Overall, if you are looking for a quiet, restful, rural New Mexico experience, then this place is for you.
Perfect Family Destination
From the moment we arrived at the house we realized that we had found the perfect location. Whether it was catching sun on the back patio, watching the stars in the hammock, or mountain biking right out the front door..everything was relaxing. The owners have done an excellent job decorating the house and giving it a real sense of southwest charm. We had a blast visiting the areas around northern NM but looked forward every evening to coming home and enjoy a glass of wine under the stars. Our kids had a blast as well. The owners were super helpful along the way and answered any questions that we had. We have rented houses throughout Europe and the US and this definitely ranks near the top of our favorite destinations. The pictures don't do the house justice. It is rustic with modern comforts. If you enjoy nature, stars, fresh air, beauty and sunshine book your trip. our only regret is that we didnt stay two weeks.
Absolutely loved everything about the adobe house
We have been back home for well over a month and we keep saying to each other "I miss the adobe house". My husband, 12-yr old son and I spent a wonderful week at the 'edge of the wilderness'. We felt comfortable and relaxed from the minute we walked in the door. The house is very clean and inviting with nice furniture, comfy beds and really nice artwork. The newly remodeled kitchen is set up very nicely and had everything we needed for preparing meals to eat on the cute little patio. Besides the patio, there is an awesome porch outside the bedroom and a covered ramada. We all spent a lot of time sitting in all of those spots enjoying the view and the wildlife. We had 4 different species of hummingbirds coming to the feeder, 7 species of birds at the bird feeder, butterflies, lizards and were serenaded by coyotes at night. It really was a magical place and the three of us are very anxious to return.
