About this property

Beautiful log-sided cabin in scenic Chama, New Mexico

  • PONDEROSA - This nearly-new 3 bedroom home is conveniently located in the Ponderosa area, just 7 minutes to Chama, 4 minutes to Tierra Amarilla and about 15 minutes to Heron Lake, famous for its fishing and water sports. Quality finishing and furnishing throughout. Marvel at the awesome views of the Brazos Cliffs and surrounding mountains from the spacious deck and living rooms. Nicely equipped kitchen. Jetted tub to soak away after an active day of exploring or mountain biking. The tranquil Ponderosa is made up of ranches and large tracts of land. Perfect roads for biking. Centrally located with good paved access, yet peacefully set back behind the hills away from the highway. King bed in the master suite with private bath and satellite TV. Good separation for families and groups with two more bedrooms in north wing of the house. One bedroom has a queen bed and TV for DVDs and tapes. The other has a queen with bunk above and a separate twin. A second bath serves these two guest rooms. All rooms are spacious with high ceilings. Living room has large screen TV with satellite and DVD/VCR combo. Covered parking for 3 cars. Sleeps up to 8 people in comfort and style for about $25 per person! Sorry there’s no WiFi available.

    *****Please note there are 6 steep steps to get to the front door. Handicap person will have difficulty getting in as a result Please be advised.*******

Location, very quite but not far from Chama and the train. About 10 to 15 min. Would have enjoyed the decks if we'd have visitors in warmer weather, little to cool in the mornings to set out.

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!

We have a place just up the road so having this super cute rental nearby really helped to bring all of our big kids together for a weekend!! The grands stayed with us and that was also a treat for their parents :)

Beautiful Cabin

The cabin views were stunning, got to see Turkeys, deer and prairie dogs. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Kitchen was fully equipped and was fortunate to make a couple meals there. We enjoyed our time there.

Christmas Hunting Trip

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.

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!

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.

Cute, cozy, easy access & lovely location

Contact with the host was easy, clear, and direct, and the property is right off the highway but feels like the middle of the country. The cabin was cute, comfy well-heated at need and nicely arranged, with a big front porch for a nice view across the valley as well as a nice sized back porch. Beds and seating were good, everything nice and clean, though starting to get worn. The only real downside is the water- it splutters and spurts and is white. You can take showers and do dishes but should bring your own drinking water. The shared bathroom shower light was out (BTW, we loved having the heat fan in there!), as well as some nightlights, but there is wonderful natural light during the day from the beautiful picture windows.

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.
