"We stayed in one of the cabin rooms and were greeted by a very musty smell. We had to open the windows for an hit or so to air the place out. Window were hard to open, as though they hadn’t been opened in a long time.
The lights over the sink didn’t work so we moved the one lamp from the only nightstand back and forth as needed.
The door between the kitchen area and the bedroom couldn’t open all the way. It would run into the floor and grind to a halt, making it difficult to come in go through the doorway and also to closing the door again to open up the space in front of the sink.
The GFI in the kitchen would trip with only a phone charger plugged in. This interrupted power to the light over the sink and to the light into the bathroom. Very inconvenient.
We weren’t expecting deluxe accommodations. But this was quite mediocre at best. Too rustic.
The location was good, bird life was great, the river sounds were amazing, and proximity to the resources in Chama were nice.
Will likely try a different property next time."
"The cottage was an excellent stay for us. Comfortable, well kept. Had everything you would need in your own home. We loved it. The host, Susie keep in touch with us, and she had a great book set up of the areas activities."
