Hogan Stay

We were impressed with the Hogan, it’s furnishings, spaciousness and well equipped kitchen. We wished we could have stayed longer than our quick overnight. Our host was also helpful in finding us a good restaurant in nearby Cuba. Thank you!

Chaco Canyon Starry Nights

A friend and I spent 2 nights in a hogan in Counselor NM. We were there to tour Chaco Canyon, world heritage site. The dark skies were perfect for star gazing and the tour very interesting. Would recommend the trip 100%!

The hogan was perfect for my adventure in the Chaco Cayon and the Bisti Band lands. Both are very remote locations and are difficult and time consuming to see. Study the pictures of the Hogan and determine for your self and if it is perfect for your adventure into a absolutly unbelievable part of United States.

Amazing views!

We really enjoyed staying here for two nights on our trip to see Chaco Canyon. The Hogan was clean and comfortable and the hosts were wonderful. We worked through them to get the Navajo fry bread making session on-site and it was wonderful. But the best part was the amazing views, especially at sunrise and sunset. We will stay here again! Note you need to bring everything you'll need. There are no stores or restaurants close by.

About the host

Hosted by Leah Bedgood

Host profile image
My mother started this mission over thirty years ago to help the local Native American people. After my mom's retirement I took over as President of the mission. I love to travel to unique places and try different foods. I love sunsets, stargazing and hikes. My favorite time is spent with family.

Why they chose this property

This property is a replica of a traditional Navajo Native American home. It is modernized with all of todays needs. Once you step inside of our Hogan you can picture what it would be like to live in a traditional Hogan. A Hogan is a hexagon building with no indoor plumbing or electricity. It would have a wood burning stove in the center of the room used for cooking and heating. Lucky for yo,u we have indoor plumbing as well as heat and air and a kitchenette furnished with a range, small refrigerator and microwave. Our hogan also has a washer and dryer inside the unit.
If you like stars than this is the place for you! The stars at night come out large and bright and just last week we saw the milky way in full glow. At night you will hear the sounds of coyotes and more than likely you will see a jack rabbit hopping around. We have elk that roam our property as well. Bring your hiking shoes and take a hike up our prayer rock where you can see views for miles. You can also look at our Sand Stone formations. We are a quick 30 minute drive to Chaco Canyon National Park.
