Notes: Basically you may use the fishing poles to fish. There is usually bait at the Heron Store or in Tierra Amarilla at Henry's Hardware or at the Stone Lake Lodge. I have found orange powerbait to be great for trout. Also corn works well. I can also give you the location of a great fishing spot. Children and elderly must be careful on the deck. Although there is a good solid railing there is a 15' drop to the ground. Extreme caution is urged. We do not have a wheelchair ramp to the deck. BECAUSE OF HIGH DEMAND PLEASE NOTE: Dates are reserved on a first come first served basis for checks. If you want a specific date and must have that date you will want to reserve by credit card. This will insure your dates 100%. If dates are reserved by check it is first come first served. In other words if someone elses check arrives before your check they will have the dates reserved. To insure your dates 100% reserved with a Visa or a Mastercard.Thank you.

Excellent cabin. For the past 4 years my wife, two dogs and I have stayed from 2 to 3 weeks in this superb cabin in the mountains of New Mexico. Peace and solitude abound with wildlife and gorgeous scenery and color in the fall. All of the amenities are for real plus firewood and hummingbird food. The roads are dirt going up the mountain but easily done even when wet. A caretaker is just around the bend and the owners are but a phone call away.

Local food and characters make this one of the best trips for peace and solitude out there. The elk viewing from the deck is great with bugling each fall. If you drive a few short miles north of Chana to the big valley you may see the bear and cubs along with trophy mule deer and elk we filmed this past year.

We cannot say enough about this wonderful romantic getaway. The Hughes family share their family hideaway with all of us and we will always be greatful. If it were not so I would not say it. We shall return, I guarantee it. Making all of the arangements was a breeze and the system of getting the keys and returning them was easy. The entire experience has been one of our best ever and absolutely THE BEST for privacy, solitude and peace of mind.

Do NOT MISS this opportunity to find a little piece of heaven in New Mexico.

This cabin really is close to perfect for a nice getaway. You'll for sure be spending most of your time out on the deck that hovers out over a gorgeous view of the valley and Brazos mountains.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to get adequate fresh mountain air circulated throughout the cabin until the owner fixes the broken and missing screens (unless you don't mind letting in a lot of bugs). Also, if you're a cooking enthusiast, I would recommend bringing your own sharp chef's knife : )

Bonus: Our three year old was ecstatic to find the cabin stocked with stuffed animals/dolls, kids movies, and kids games.

We really were happy with the experience overall and do recommend it to others.

Options for lodging this close to Heron Lake are almost non-existent so it was wonderful to find a home in this area to rent. The wrap-around deck offers spectacular views of the Brazos and wildlife can be viewed from your seat right on the deck! I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again but should mention the house could use a little TLC...some items and furnishings are 'dated' and because the home doesn't have air conditioning it would be nice if the owner can replace the missing screens in sliding glass doors and windows where screens are missing. The home is well stocked with just about anything you need; sheets, towels, kitchen items. But renters should know that it's the owner's policy to only give out one set of keys to the locked gates and the home so if your traveling with a group this could be a probelm as you can't split up to do different activities. A final note...you will need to haul your trash off the property as there is no garbage service available.

Owner's Response: We recently had the 2 main sliding glass doors replaced to the tune of $4,100. I have notified the contractor that screen sliders are not working. I am sorry you had such a poor experience at the house. All notifications are up front regarding, trash, keys, etc.

Our stay was very relaxing in the northern mountains of New Mexico near Chama. The house was very comfortable and the views of the Brazos and surrounding mountains were outstanding from the covered porch. The home was clean upon arrival, but it needs some TLC in maintenance. Still was a very enjoyable stay and a must to ride the narrow gauge railroad out of Chama. The home was fully stocked with bedding and towels plus the home had many beautiful paintings by the owner.

This is a great location with fantastic views. The Brazos cliffs are a never ending display of beauty in different lights.( Too bad they are privately owned as we tried to drive close to them but could not get right up to the base.) The quiet at the house is profound. We heard nothing but wind through the trees, birds, and coyotes. The wrap around deck access from all downstairs rooms lets you be in nature so easily. Upstairs shower view to mountains a special treat. We cooked all our meals with ease...good equipment, everything you need. Do bring drinking water as the tap water has a sulfur smell. Beds are comfortable.
Owner's Response: I am very happy I can share my home in the mountains of northern New Mexico. I would love to get down there but we are booked fairly solid until August. Once again thank you for the kind words and we look forward to you being back there again.
