About this property

Beautiful log-sided cabin in scenic Chama, New Mexico

PONDEROSA - This nearly-new 3 bedroom home is conveniently located in the Ponderosa area, just 7 minutes to Chama, 4 minutes to Tierra Amarilla and about 15 minutes to Heron Lake, famous for its fishing and water sports. Quality finishing and furnishing throughout. Marvel at the awesome views of the Brazos Cliffs and surrounding mountains from the spacious deck and living rooms. Nicely equipped kitchen. Jetted tub to soak away after an active day of exploring or mountain biking. The tranquil Ponderosa is made up of ranches and large tracts of land. Perfect roads for biking. Centrally located with good paved access, yet peacefully set back behind the hills away from the highway. King bed in the master suite with private bath and satellite TV. Good separation for families and groups with two more bedrooms in north wing of the house. One bedroom has a queen bed and TV for DVDs and tapes. The other has a queen with bunk above and a separate twin. A second bath serves these two guest rooms. All rooms are spacious with high ceilings. Living room has large screen TV with satellite and DVD/VCR combo. Covered parking for 3 cars. Sleeps up to 8 people in comfort and style for about $25 per person! Sorry there’s no WiFi available.

*****Please note there are 6 steep steps to get to the front door. Handicap person will have difficulty getting in as a result Please be advised.*******

This cabin is a great place to stay. Outside of Chama but close enough for easy trips into town. It is spacious and sunny. The view from the front deck is fantastic, never got tired of looking at it.

Location, very quite but not far from Chama and the train. About 10 to 15 min. Would have enjoyed the decks if we'd have visitors in warmer weather, little to cool in the mornings to set out.

Peaceful and Great Views

We had a great stay: good accommodations, excellent views, quiet and peaceful, surrounded by plenty of flora and fauna, and well stocked with kitchen and bathroom amenities. Conveniently located close to Chama, state parks, and a national forest.

The cabin is spacious and well-equipped. We really enjoyed our stay. Don't try to google the address or you'll end up in the Brazos development to the South. I would suggest adding to the property directions to turn off Hwy 64 at County road 341.

Beautiful cabin with big open space that includes kitchen, living room, and dining room. Made it easy for all of us to hangout and visit. Views from front deck are gorgeous. Back deck is comfortable too and has horseshoes nearby. Cabin was clean and well stocked. Cooked all our dinners there and everything we needed was provided. Check in and check out were easy. Communications with owner very efficient. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Cabin

The cabin views were stunning, got to see Turkeys, deer and prairie dogs. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Kitchen was fully equipped and was fortunate to make a couple meals there. We enjoyed our time there.

Christmas Hunting Trip

We really like staying in this cabin. This was our second time booking this cabin and it was just as good as the first time. It works great for our elk hunting trips to add a little luxury to the DIY hunt.
