The inside of the cabin really makes guests feel like they are visiting the mountains with fish, wildlife, and wood accents presented throughout the cabin. The two decks with outdoor seating have to be the best part of the cabin, allowing guests a place to sit and watch both the sunrise and sunset. To up the experience sit in the backyard swapping stories around the fire pit! There is also plenty of parking for trailers for those hauling horses or ATV's. There are board games and playing cards in the cabin to enjoy with your family instead of all the electronics. Guests are also just a 10 minute walk from access to the Rio Chama.

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.
