- 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.

- 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.

We had a good stay overall. The home was comfortable and the location was convenient. We appreciated they didn’t charge for each pet, as many stays do. The hosts were responsive and helpful whenever we needed to reach out. One thing to note, while there were two propane tanks for the grill, neither was full. And it appears the bottom of the grill had fallen out.Yard was large, not fenced if that matters for your pets! Aside from the grill, everything was as expected and we had a pleasant visit.

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.
