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!

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.

Having Family in Chama we have always stayed with family. This year we tried something different and rented a cabin. This cabin was beautiful and it made our stay more authentic. It had the perfect amount of beds for everyone with us and it was equipped with everything we needed. The host Gail was very responsive and helpful when questions were asked.The only issues were the water would pulsate as if the well was low on water and the microwave had a small crack in it but it did not make any issue. Other then that everything was wonderful and I am sure we will be checking if it is available on our next visit

College Dorm Reunion

Lovely house. Beautiful view. Fabulous stay. We were 8 college dorm mates, graduated in 1976. Since we are all around 70 the bunk bed was not a good choice for us. Better suited to 4 adults & 4 children. Customer service was great and timely. Earlier and more information on the water would have been helpful. Some don't like the taste of the water. Overall we had a really wonderful stay.

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.

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.

Nice dog-friendly property with large gathering living/dining room

We like this property and have stayed twice. The price is reasonable, it's dog friendly, check-out is reasonable, has a nice large living dining room for a small gathering. They provide lots of spices, flour, sugar, basic in the fridge, which is nice. The few things that could be improved -- the towels are a bit low quality. The queen bed in the first bedroom off the dining room is very noisy and squeaky so that when one person tries to get out of bed it wakes the other person. The dinnerware and silverware is low quality compared to other rentals we've stayed in. We left seven martini glasses to donate just for fun.

Family get away!

We were looking for a place to get away and relax in cooler weather. This was perfect for a family of 8. Plenty of room! Clean! Fantastic views! Wildlife! Quiet! Perfect cool temps in the 70's during the day! Communicating with our host was easy. We may make this an annual get away!

Needs Attention

Generally a fine place, BUT 1. Leach field leaking continually at parking. 2. Water pulsated every time it was turned on. 3. The steps at the back deck ARE DANGEROUS. 4. The electrical system (lighting) has issues. Otherwise, it was a pleasant place to stay.
