She runs the place and works from morning to night. She even went above and beyond to help us after a change of plans and had everything ready when we arrived. The Lodge is a great place to stay. It is right on the river and the facilities are Clean and in great shape. Our cabin had a porch with a BBQ grill and picnic table that we used every night. They have a great lake for fishing on the premises where we caught several rainbows when not out on the river. Bring food and supplies because it is far from town. This is the type of place anyone would like to make a destination for an annual family vacation.

There are no TV'S in the cabins but plenty to do to keep you busy all day. They have a nice pool that is nestled in the woods with a nice relaxing view. The fishing pond is stocked, it's a fishing pond not a catching pond. Even though it's stocked you still need to fish for them. Very nice size of fish too! If you want to head into town the train is a nice ride into Colorado for a nice lunch. Will I go back? Yes of course this place is not easy to reserve either so if you get it, take it and have fun!

Wow - just WOW!!!…read more Where do I begin? The meandering (and perfectly groomed) drive winding its way up to the lodge? The stunning architecture and solid feel of a finely constructed lodge with the proper scale and furnishings ... featuring leather, post & beams, and soaring granite fireplaces. A nice change from traditional NM architecture. Upon arrival, the staff pamper you starting with a warm greeting, and a sense of humor while attending to your every whim. This is an old time hunting lodge concept executed beautifully in this immaculately maintained high end structure. If you hate hunting, or taxidermy, leave your preconceived notions at home - come enjoy this luxurious retreat. It's not a spa, but the 36,000 acres of land surrounding the property are spectacular. I loved my brief visit. My guests for this impromptu NM motorcycle tour LOVED the lodge experience. In fact, all of us are "finagling" a way to come back soon, and stay longer to enjoy more of what the lodge has to offer. Cost might have been a tad-bit over $300/night ... which includes three terrific meals. A very fair price for this relaxing and high quality experience. Also, with so many activities to enjoy nearby like the train, trails and lodge activities offered, you can be as busy as you'd like to be. Today, I'm sending out personal notes today to staff with cash gratuities for each of them... That's how grateful I am for my experience... I still can feel the Glow. Note: personally, when I need to get away... I just want to hear "yes, of course, no problem!" I can promise you I only saw staff smiling, and eager to please and enhance the guests experience. Finally, apologies, my iPhone 11pro camera is on the fritz again... So I'm going to include some blurry images with apologies in advance. Come visit thus magical spot, you'll depart more relaxed and enriched PS - Thank you and a shout to Colleen in reservations - she's great!

Brought in a group of 5 RV Sites, friends from all over NM who get together to enjoy each others company and plan our next adventure. The lady was so rude to the group individually, talks bad about her partner in Texas. I was embarrassed that I choose this place due to the treatment we received. There are great businesses in Chama that will be glad to be hospitable and be grateful for your business. When looking to stay in beautiful Chama, trust me pass this place not worth the headache. Speaking to people more professionally and treating them equally will go along way!

We've stayed in several Chama lodging spots, but this one is by far the best we've tried so far…read more The rooms are a bit on the small side when it comes to the bathroom and vanity space, but they are comfortable and spotless. Most of the motels are along the Chama River, so you have the option of strolling along the water or exploring easy trails, and this one has a large "backyard" space with covered picnic locations, a gas grill for guest use, and some fun statues of deer. (Live deer wander through all the time, joining the magpies, ravens, squirrels, and other critters well used to human traffic.) The breakfast that is included with the room is several cuts above the usual bland and packaged fare at chain motels, and it's served in a charming country-style kitchen/breakfast nook. Keurig coffeemakers give you multiple options for flavor, there's actual fruit juice, yogurt, bagels, pastries, muffins, and hot water for tea. The front side of the building, facing the road, features a dozen or so hummingbird feeders that keep the little fliers happy and swooping around. The housekeeping staff seems to be mostly male, which is uncommon, but they do a great job on both the rooms and the grounds. Oh, and the WiFi is super-fast and free. Highly recommended.

In February, I booked our room for two nights for mid-September to stay at Vista Del Rio Lodge…read more The visit to Chama was to take the Cumbres & Toltec train in celebration of my 70th birthday. The lodge is located two miles south of the train station. I am retired but for 27 years I was Director of Housekeeping for luxury properties throughout the US. Consequently, I have high cleaning and service expectations for hotels where I stay. The price has to reflect the quality of the property. Vista del Rio is a simple very clean charming hotel with rustic New Mexico accents. I booked a two-queen bed room to share it with my wife and son. The beds are firm, the two pillows on each bed were too flat for my taste. The beds also have two sham pillows with the same design of the Southwestern pattern bedspread. The layout of the room is motel style. One thing that differs from other motels, is that the rooms have a ceiling fan, love it! The bathtub/ shower and toilet are enclosed but the bathroom vanity and closet are not. The room has a microwave, mini refrigerator and a single coffee maker. The TV remote control is difficult to use, even with the instructions in the room. It got to a point that we couldn't figure it out and we didn't call the front desk for help so we turned it off. The ice machine is located next to the hotel office. Included in the room rate continental breakfast is offered. For breakfast they offer different types of store bought danish, cereal, fresh fruit, bagels and sliced bread to toast, yogurt, selection of juices, coffee and tea. The staff is very pleasant and cordial. The one story building has rooms on both sides. Our room faced the highway and I thought it was going to be noisy but it was not. The back rooms face a very large grass field with a bbq grill and a covered picnic area. The river is behind the hotel property is blocked by large trees but since it had rained heavily before arriving it was too muddy to explore. We live in Las Cruces, NM and we have lots of friends wanting to visit Chama and take the train so I will be recommending it.

There were a few hotels listed on yelp, but this was the only one with a review. Once again yelp didn't let me down. Keeping in mind that this is a small inn in Chama NM, and not a big city, we got a kick out of some of the quirks. When I first tried booking the room, I got an answering machine because the keeper (Terrie) was picking her son up from school. However, I got a call back a little later and we reserved a room. We said we would be rolling in a little late and she assured us that she'd leave the back porch light on for us and the room would be waiting. The room we stayed in was in the main house and was wonderful. It was as clean and spacious as you would expect from a B&B. Along with the comfy beds, it had a small kitchen/sink area and some other furniture to lounge around on. It was warm and cozy, felt like staying at a relative's house. The only downside was there was only a very limited continental breakfast. For us this wasn't a big deal as we were in a bit of a hurry to hit the road. But don't plan on a big breakfast here. We would definitely stay here again if we were passing through.
