This is an old fashioned drive up to the door motel with a gravel parking lot. There was no AC but none was needed in the mountains, even in August. It is minutes away from the Cumbres & Toltec train station. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

I’ve driven by this charming log cabin and log motel room resort on the Chama River many times on my way to Santa Fe over the past few years and always wished that I had time to spend a night there. That opportunity finally occurred a couple of days ago and I made a last minute reservation to spend one night. My years of imagining a stay were not disappointed: the office staff at check-in were friendly and helpful - even offering me a bottle of cream from the office refrigerator to use for my early morning coffee, saying “Just leave it in your mini-fridge and we’ll get it in the morning.” - and took the time to suggest a walk down to the path to the river if I had time (I took the time and it was beautiful). My room was spotlessly clean, charmingly rustic but well-appointed, and cozily warm despite freezing temperatures overnight. I hope that I’m able to stop here again for a longer stay and maybe try out one of the cabins. In the meantime, thanks for a lovely overnight stay!

Cabin itself was fine. Dirty old dishes, coffee grounds from the last occupant still in coffee pot, WiFi never worked despite “it will be on in an hour” from staff. Shampoo and soap dispenser in shower both broken. Front desk staff said will bring soap to me… didn’t happen. Room didn’t have microwave, they brought me one. Didn’t work. Generous with two stars.

Check in was easy, staff super nice and easy to contact by text. Bed was super comfy. Ice machine broke 1st day there, not a huge deal. Need more bathroom shelves and small brooms to sweep. Limited tv channels, but not there to watch tv anyway. Another rug would be nice, cold floors. Nice stay overall.

The room was big with a microwave, coffee pot and small refrigerator. The king size bed was very comfortable. I slept soundly. The room was spacious and very clean! The only thing is that the deadbolt did not work in room 34. The carpet going upstairs to our room needs to be replaced or just do a nice wood stairway.
