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.

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.

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 :)

Very quiet and in an excellent location. If issues with the water were fixed, it would be the perfect place. Will definitely rent again.

It was a beautiful location with lots of space. Everything was as listed on the site. Nice and clean. It was a great home base to sleep, shower, and nap at as we ventured out in the Chama area.

Nice isolated property.
Had a good week-end. Only thing is that the water probably needs better treatment.

Property was clean and exactly as listed. The only suggestion I have is to have a property info sheet (where are things on the property) and a departure checklist.

Great cabin with amazing views!
The cabin was very well kept and was very clean! The kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable as well as the sofa! We spent every sunrise and sunset on the porches watching the storms roll in or the elk/deer wildlife in the front yard. We would love to go back!

We were very impressed with the property and wish that we could have stayed longer. The house is wonderful as is Gail. She called to check that we were okay one week before the stay and during our stay. I highly recommend this property for your next vacation.

Peaceful Stay
My family and I really enjoyed our stay. We were able to see deer outside the cabin. The cabin is very beautiful and spacious! Also love the view it has. There were lots of dead flies and wasps so I think they were sprayed before we arrived, thankfully there was a vacuum and I was able to vacuum them up!

Everything was great, but the water. It smelled very bad, and the flow was not good when taking a shower or washing dishes. Enjoyed the stay, and the view.

Uncomfortable in hot weather
It was very hot when we stayed in Chama. Check in was late in the day, so although we opened up the house right away, it stayed very warm inside all night making it difficult to sleep. Otherwise our stay was great.

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.

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.

Wonderful views
Cabin was wonderful! Plenty of space. Very clean. The hosts were available to ask questions through the site and called me prior to ensure i had no questions. Beds were very comfortable. We had plenty of bedding, towels, etc. Kitchen fully equiped to make any meal. View from front and back patio was amazing and we drank coffee there in the morning and snacks in the afternoon. Bathrooms good size but water pressure was strange and spit out the water as if air was in the lines the entire shower- guest bath more than master. Not really a problem and you could bathe fine, but scared my children so bathtime was a struggle. This was the only thing that wasnt perfect. I would stay again and hope its available again when i visit family next year!

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.

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.
