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.

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!
