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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Charming in Chama
This is a sweet cabin in a quiet area. Our stay was nice and cozy. However, there are a few things to know if you are going to stay here. The heating system was out when we went but we were given space heaters and there is a beautiful wood burning stove so we were plenty warm. Also, November is fly season and there were dozens of flies (both alive and dead) on the living room and laundry room floor at all times. They were easily vacuumed up but be prepared. This property is on well water so the water pressure is funky, the water is super hard and it smells of sulfer. This too is totally fine, as long as you know ahead of time. Lastly, the listing says there is satellite t.v., dvd's and VHS tapes. However, when we attempted to put dvd's in the player none of the dvd's were in the correct box and many were missing so make sure to bring your own dvd's with you to watch. The hosts were great and made check-in and check-out very easy! All in all, this was a clean, quiet place with a nice view. I would recommend staying here.
