**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.

- 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.

A premier cabin

Buffalo Run Cabin is a VRBO that truly reflects the photos you see online. It’s impressive and comfy, with everything you need for a great escape. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch in the evening, watching the hummingbirds vie for position on the feeder that we’d filled. In the morning, 3 bucks roamed behind the cabin. This cabin is especially wonderful for people who love the outdoors. As a retired wildlife biologist, I certainly fit into that category.

Great Stay

I was able to pull friends from across the country for this stay in Chama to hunt elk in CO. Austin was fantastic and very easy to contact and provided valuable insight to the local area. I will definitely be booking again.

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.
