We stayed in a cabin because we had a dog. Nice and private, place to walk the dog. There was only 2 of us but there was also a loft with a mattress if we had more people/kids. Kitchen area was stocked with silverware, dishes and microwave/oven/stove. Cabin was very clean. I would stay there again.

The retro look cabins with modern conveniences. Our room was very quiet, the bed was one of the most comfortable we had during our 10 day vacation The staff was outstanding with a wonderful knowledge of their town and the dining options available at what times The gazebo by the Chama River was so peaceful and a wonderful spot to look for the comet. If you are looking for a nice peaceful place to stay, This is it
