**ALERT**
- The "master bedroom" is upstairs and is technically a loft.

The inside of the cabin really makes guests feel like they are visiting the mountains with fish, wildlife, and wood accents presented throughout the cabin. The two decks with outdoor seating have to be the best part of the cabin, allowing guests a place to sit and watch both the sunrise and sunset. To up the experience sit in the backyard swapping stories around the fire pit! There is also plenty of parking for trailers for those hauling horses or ATV's. There are board games and playing cards in the cabin to enjoy with your family instead of all the electronics. Guests are also just a 10 minute walk from access to the Rio Chama. The Buffalo Run is the perfect cabin for those wanting to enjoy a mountain getaway but yet have all of the modern conveniences of internet, TV, and a close location to town.

- The surrounding areas in and around Chama, NM offer some of the best views, UTV/ATV trails, fly fishing, multiple famous trout rivers, snow skiing, snowmobiling, top shelf hunting, brewery’s, restaurants, and tons of history as you get out to explore the majesty of Gods creations.
- If you are a UTV/ATV advocate there are many nearby Forest service roads to trailer to for the day of UTV/ATV serenity in the mountains. There are many National Forest access points for your UTV/ATV in the near surrounding areas in lieu of being on the New Mexico & Colorado border.
- Both El Vado and Heron Lakes in New Mexico are a nice 15-30 minute drive from the property to hike, bike, fish, kayak, or boat. Trujillo Meadows Reservoir is a 30 minute drive across the border into Colorado for great views and trout fishing.
- Pagosa Springs, CO is a stunning tranquil 50 minute gentle mountain drive from Chama to experience the best natural hot springs resort and some awesome restaurants. Pagosa Springs also has many shops for shopping including, Tractor Supply, Wal-Mart, Groceries, River Rafting, UTV/ATV rentals, shopping centers, and a tremendous amount more to see and experience.
- Wolf Creek Ski resort is only a pinch over an hour from Buffalo Run!!

Nice spot

Nice, quiet spot with lovely views from front and back porches. Great communication from the hosts, easy check in and out. Located 2 minutes from Chama, and 2 minutes from the Log River Ranch wedding venue, so great location for our stay. A little worn, but comfortable overall. We'd stay again.

Outstanding Mountain Getaway

The Buffalo Run cabin in Chama New Mexico was the perfect getaway for the family. The location was easy to find and access and was only a short drive from town. The Chama location provided easy access to northern New Mexico, along with quick access to Pagosa Springs, Creede, and Durango in southern Colorado. Great fishing opportunties near by, along with restaurants, grocery store, gas station, and the Cumbres and Toltec scenic railway made for a great family getaway.

We took our annual trip to the mountains. Grandkids were in awe of the spaciousness. Sent pictures to their friends and they were all jealous of the beautiful cabin. All made memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks again.

Enjoyable stay

Great cabin/house, clean and well decorated in a quiet neighborhood. Nicely supplied with household items for an extended stay. Layout of the house is well suited for 2 couples traveling together with full baths upstairs and downstairs. Would definitely recommend the property for couples and families needing to be close to town( Chama). Walter H.
