Fun house close to town
I thought the house might be noisy being so close to town, but it wasn't! We all slept well in comfy beds, and the blackout shades kept rooms as dark as we wanted in the mornings. We liked the ample towels, plenty of dinnerware, nice pots and pans, and interesting artwork. We could walk to a nice coffee shop in the morning. Bear droppings in the yard got us excited, but we never did see one. Very interesting art work.

Wonderful historic home!
We loved everything about our stay and only wished we had booked another night, especially when the train was cancelled due to snow! It would have been the PERFECT place to hang out all day in the rain/snow! Someone might want to go through the games, as many have missing pieces and cannot be played😅

Birthday Celebration
Property was very dusty, baseboards are dirty. No hand soap or shampoo (we were not told to bring our own), we were given the wrong internet sign on. Thankfully, someone had left a handwritten note stuck on the side of the refrigerator. We were 5 siblings, with 3 spouses and 2 birthday women. Our goal was to spend the day on the train, which made this location very convenient.

Nice house, plenty of room for everyone, nice to come back from a long day of hunting and have a warm shower and a bed to sleep in. Someone needs to correct the gps location, when we are our friends search for location of the house it to be at Terrace and Fifth Street. Thank you

Great house - very roomy
We really enjoyed having this as a home base! Great house with all the amenities and extras. We rode the train and spent some time in town too. If you are coming to Chama - totally stay here. You might need a place with a kitchen as restaurants being open is hit or miss.

What I hoped for
Facilities, decor, and design showed a great deal of thought. There was some communication confusion about internet, clean up, and telephone. Not biggies, but the "white sheet and stickies" might either be included in contract email, or at least a reference to say "LOOK AT THE STICKIES AND THE WHITE PAPER INSTRUCTIONS!" This place made our stay foundational. Thanks.

First time in Chama
Visted Chama for the Cumbres Train. This house was a great location, close to the train station, and restaurants near by. The house was super cute and overall fairly clean. The beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious. We loved the balcony upstairs to hang out and star gaze. All the rooms were upstairs and the stairs were pretty narrow to go up and down with luggage. There was a total of 4 of us and we were very comfortable.

Chama delight
The property was conveniently located so that we could walk to the train and to town. It was full of artifacts, art and history as well as everything you might need for your stay. Communication with the owner was easy and informative. The Chama train was spectacular with the fall foliage. We enjoyed our 2 night stay very much.

Chama House
Interior of the house was very nice and clean. The exterior could use some work. The front porch looks like it's ready for Holloween with all the cobwebs on it. Thanks for the extra pillows and comfortable beds. The shower in the master bedroom is starting to show wear and could be upgraded.

Will go back again
This is a beautiful home with beautiful furnishings. Felt right at home when we got there. Could use a little cleaning out of the refrigerator/kitchen drawers. I usually like the house very cool and had a hard time getting the house to cool down. Good thing the weather was cool and it helped to have the windows open at night. Wouldn't be comfortable in hotter weather. Will definitely consider staying here again.
