Nice spot
Nice, quiet spot with lovely views from front and back porches. Great communication from the hosts, easy check in and out. Located 2 minutes from Chama, and 2 minutes from the Log River Ranch wedding venue, so great location for our stay. A little worn, but comfortable overall. We'd stay again.

Outstanding Mountain Getaway
The Buffalo Run cabin in Chama New Mexico was the perfect getaway for the family. The location was easy to find and access and was only a short drive from town. The Chama location provided easy access to northern New Mexico, along with quick access to Pagosa Springs, Creede, and Durango in southern Colorado. Great fishing opportunties near by, along with restaurants, grocery store, gas station, and the Cumbres and Toltec scenic railway made for a great family getaway.

Great cabin/house, clean and well decorated in a quiet neighborhood. Nicely supplied with household items for an extended stay. Layout of the house is well suited for 2 couples traveling together with full baths upstairs and downstairs. Would definitely recommend the property for couples and families needing to be close to town( Chama). Walter H.

We had a great time and the property was very nice.
Everything about the property was easy and the home was very nice. We were in town to ride the Cumbres & Toltec Train and it was a short drive to the depot. There is also a grocery store a few minutes away that was well stocked which made getting our groceries a breeze.
