The Nora Dixon Place serves the Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Corrales, Bernalillo, and Taylor Ranch metro area. Built in 1960, the Nora Dixon Place represents New Mexico's unique Greek Revival-Territorial era architecture. The house is adobe brick with sawn pine trim painted white, and pedimental, divided-light windows. Set on an acre and a half of woods by the Rio Grande, guests adore the rural peacefulness of surrounding cottonwood trees, Russian olive trees, fruit trees, native plants and vegetable gardens. Accommodations feature three guest rooms, each with a private bath, refrigerator, television, telephone, and microwave.
All rooms open onto an enclosed courtyard.
Fresh fruits, baguettes, cheeses, granola, jams, French toast, yogurt, fresh ground coffee and brewed teas are some of the offerings. Fiestas and harvest celebrations, wine tasting, traditional Hispanic and Native American dances and religious observances take place throughout the year. Day-trips to the Indian Pueblos, Santa Fe Taos, the Bosque del Apache Bird Sanctuary and several national monuments and forests are an easy drive. Horseback riding, shopping, river rafting, golf, fishing, galleries, museums are close by. The Cultural Arts Council and the Corrales Historic Society provide concerts, lectures, dramatic performances and local art shows.
