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.
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!
We have a place just up the road so having this super cute rental nearby really helped to bring all of our big kids together for a weekend!! The grands stayed with us and that was also a treat for their parents :)
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.
Beautiful quiet property that was very clean. Gayle was quick to respond with all questions. We saw a lot of wildlife and the sunsets and sunrises are spectacular.
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.
