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.

- 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.

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.

We had a great time and the property was very nice.
Everything about the property was easy and the home was very nice. We were in town to ride the Cumbres & Toltec Train and it was a short drive to the depot. There is also a grocery store a few minutes away that was well stocked which made getting our groceries a breeze.

Great Getaway
The cabin was very comfortable and had everything we needed. There was a beer lid under the couch and we replaced a few light bulbs that were burned out. The cleaning crew should've taken care of this in our opinion. The dumpster was overflowing when we arrived. All in all, though, we had a great time!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. Loved the beautiful mountain views, sounds of nature and seeing the deer/elk around the cabin everyday. My 11 year old son was sad to leave and my 5 year old granddaughter keeps asking when we are going to rent the cabin again. Host was very responsive and friendly. Cabin was very cozy and clean. Will definitely recommend and we will be back again.

This picture perfect cabin is just as it looks. Very beautiful, clean and relaxing. Took my grandparents to the nearby Scenic train ride in Chama and they loved it! We enjoyed the fire pit in the backyard and really felt comfortable. It was a great experience. I would definitely recommend this cabin & train ride to anyone I know! The hosts were great at communicating what to expect upon your arrival and departure! Overall an amazing trip and great hospitality!
