A good place to land for a couple of days. We stayed in a room, which was a decent size. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. We did not experience any problems during our stay. Beautiful Chama River behind the lodge.

Bed was comfortable but room had no cups for drinking and no hair dryer. First hotel room we’ve stayed in that didn’t have drinking cups and a hair dryer. It was also more expensive then most rooms we book.

This is an old fashioned drive up to the door motel with a gravel parking lot. There was no AC but none was needed in the mountains, even in August. It is minutes away from the Cumbres & Toltec train station. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

I’ve driven by this charming log cabin and log motel room resort on the Chama River many times on my way to Santa Fe over the past few years and always wished that I had time to spend a night there. That opportunity finally occurred a couple of days ago and I made a last minute reservation to spend one night. My years of imagining a stay were not disappointed: the office staff at check-in were friendly and helpful - even offering me a bottle of cream from the office refrigerator to use for my early morning coffee, saying “Just leave it in your mini-fridge and we’ll get it in the morning.” - and took the time to suggest a walk down to the path to the river if I had time (I took the time and it was beautiful). My room was spotlessly clean, charmingly rustic but well-appointed, and cozily warm despite freezing temperatures overnight. I hope that I’m able to stop here again for a longer stay and maybe try out one of the cabins. In the meantime, thanks for a lovely overnight stay!
