Excellent, friendly, charming, contemporary and well-decorated base for explorign the surrounding desert, reservations, and Chaco Canyon. Gorgeous, fun, short trail wanders straight onto the top of the small mesa behind the property, which offers a great view and a wondrous world of eroded sandstone.

Peaceful and quiet, close to Chaco Canyon

The hogan had everything needed for a 5 night stay. The bed was comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook all of our meals. Clean and modern. My wife and I loved the peace and quiet here, and visited Chaco Canyon every day. We also took daily walks around the property, with some beautiful views from on top of the mesa a short walk away. Great birding and wildflowers here too.

Perfect

Spring break with my kids in the four corner area and this was a perfect place to stay on our way to Chaco National Historic Park. Easy communication with owner, clean and well stocked Hogan. My kids loved the adventure and the surrounding area is beautiful. The king size bed was comfortable, my son enjoyed sleeping on convertible couch and my daughter slept on a pallet on the floor. Would stay again.

Perfect for us

We wanted to visit Chaco Canyon but had to be in Albuquerque. This location put us close enough to both to work well for us. The Hogan was very clean, quiet, and comfortable. The bed was a king size bed and very comfortable, it didn't feel like I was sleeping away from home. Everything was very clean and seemed quite new. The area is very quiet and easy to access from 550.

Perfect for My Family

A perfect spot. My wife, son, and I could have spent the entirety of our four-day stay just walking on the mesa and playing around the grounds. The location of the Hogan lent itself to visiting Chaco Canyon where my wife, who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis, could not have otherwise traveled to. We tried to be respectful and aware that this is a place where many people live without water and electricity. The sunsets are shocking and the sky is everywhere.

The hogan was very clean and well appointed. It is adjacent to a larger residential camp - dorms, kitchens, staff cabins - which was totally empty the night of our stay. Consequently, the stay was very, very quiet. We went up onto the ridge in back of the hogan at dusk after a rainstorm. The sunset was beautiful. Two things that future guest might want to know... bring food and drinking water - you're a ways from any restaurant or convenience store, and the tap water smells slightly of sulfur, which is common to the area.

A Very Private Glamping Gem!

My wife and I were looking for a place to stay that was close to Chaco Canyon. This part of New Mexico is fairly remote, and services are few and far between. We were so lucky to have found this rental! The location is quiet, peaceful and picturesque. The hogan sits right next to a small mesa with interesting rock formations, which you are able to hike up and enjoy the view. The hogan has a kitchen and laundry facilities, and enough amenities to prepare meals. Definitely a must - the closest restaurants are over 30 miles away. Groceries are even further, so bring all the food you’re going to need. AC / Heating worked great. Bed was on the softer side but comfortable. Great wifi (Starlink). Highly recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay in this unique location while visiting Chaco Canyon The location is within the property of a Christian mission and seemed very safe. The property/room is as described and pictured. We found it immaculately clean and very comfortable. The bed is comfortable but bring your own feather pillows if you don't prefer foam. The kitchen facility and supplies are quite adequate. Plenty of coffee pods are supplied with the Keurig. The small gas grill was perfect for grilling a small meal. The host and caretaker were immediately responsive and will supply ice for drinks and cooler if requested. Check-in and out was simple and straightforward. One highlight of this property is the stargazing from the mesa just a few yards above and behind the Hogan. On a clear night, especially in new moon phase, this should not be missed! Highly recommended!

The hogan was perfect for my adventure in the Chaco Cayon and the Bisti Band lands. Both are very remote locations and are difficult and time consuming to see. Study the pictures of the Hogan and determine for your self and if it is perfect for your adventure into a absolutly unbelievable part of United States.

Chaco Canyon Starry Nights

A friend and I spent 2 nights in a hogan in Counselor NM. We were there to tour Chaco Canyon, world heritage site. The dark skies were perfect for star gazing and the tour very interesting. Would recommend the trip 100%!

Amazing views!

We really enjoyed staying here for two nights on our trip to see Chaco Canyon. The Hogan was clean and comfortable and the hosts were wonderful. We worked through them to get the Navajo fry bread making session on-site and it was wonderful. But the best part was the amazing views, especially at sunrise and sunset. We will stay here again! Note you need to bring everything you'll need. There are no stores or restaurants close by.

About the host

Hosted by Leah Bedgood

Host profile image
My mother started this mission over thirty years ago to help the local Native American people. After my mom's retirement I took over as President of the mission. I love to travel to unique places and try different foods. I love sunsets, stargazing and hikes. My favorite time is spent with family.

Why they chose this property

This property is a replica of a traditional Navajo Native American home. It is modernized with all of todays needs. Once you step inside of our Hogan you can picture what it would be like to live in a traditional Hogan. A Hogan is a hexagon building with no indoor plumbing or electricity. It would have a wood burning stove in the center of the room used for cooking and heating. Lucky for yo,u we have indoor plumbing as well as heat and air and a kitchenette furnished with a range, small refrigerator and microwave. Our hogan also has a washer and dryer inside the unit.
If you like stars than this is the place for you! The stars at night come out large and bright and just last week we saw the milky way in full glow. At night you will hear the sounds of coyotes and more than likely you will see a jack rabbit hopping around. We have elk that roam our property as well. Bring your hiking shoes and take a hike up our prayer rock where you can see views for miles. You can also look at our Sand Stone formations. We are a quick 30 minute drive to Chaco Canyon National Park.
