- "I appreciated having a place to stay for 5 days. I was in town for a funeral. We upgraded to a cabin from a standard king room due to space. It was rustic and cute, and provided a safe place for us to sleep. The entire property is really pretty, and it’s great that this is a pet-friendly lodge! This message is more for the new company that owns Elkhorn Lodge: I sincerely hope you put earnest investment into this lodge. There is SO much potential there. Along with that, it would behoove you to treat—and pay— the manager/employees well. I imagine it is hard to find help in Chama because the population has decreased drastically, but what few you have will be running and representing Elkhorn, and it’s best to take care of them; as well as the property. The property needs some TLC but it is well worth it! "

- "The property was beautiful. We weren’t looking to be Chama tourists-just needed a little getaway to recharge, and this place was perfect. We loved the dogs too!" - "Beautiful spot, comfortable stay, super friendly and attentive ownership. Will be back!" - "Thank you for hosting!" - "My husband and I enjoyed out stay on this property. It is in a beautiful and relaxing setting. The poppies were in bloom when we were there and it was lovely. The hosts were exceptional. The room was charmingly appointed and just as in the photos. We were at the end of the upstairs balcony with our two Standard Poodles and the host graceously put out a little foldable gate, so we could keep the door open when we wanted and the dogs wouldn't go wandering along the balcony. It worked great. I have two recommendations. First the matress was super sinking soft, too soft, and I did awake with back pain and had to stretch the kinks out. Second, I think a tie back for the curtains would be helpful, as this would allow more light into the room, especially on the window closest to the door. We did enjoy our time there, though, and would certainly stay again."

Whether you’re wanting to ride the train, immerse yourself in nature, or enjoy a cup of coffee in a small, local cafe, you really can have it all when you stay on the Other Side of the Tracks. Our recently remodeled apartment features views of the train, plenty of parking space, and free Wi-Fi. Conveniently located in the heart of town, the opportunities for your getaway are endless.

- "If you get grossed out easily like me, then this is your place to stay. SUPER clean—from the shower to the kitchen sink, the owners definitely take care of the property. They have everything you could ever need and you can tell they put a lot of thought into every detail. The ONLY things that would make it even better are: -a longer hose that reaches the fire pit -floodlights in back (cause all we could think about were bears) 😂 We will never use another company when booking in Chama now. Thank you for hosting us!!!"

- "Very Easy to book. Clean, interesting, has the Chama flavor. There is so much to enjoy in Chama and the house adds to the experience." - "The home is as nice as it looks in the photos. It is in a quiet neighborhood in a very small town. Nice and close to our destination of the Cumbres Toltec Railroad. Would recommend without hesitation. " - "We were just two fishing buddies looking for a convenient place to operate out of for several days of fishing in northern MN and southern CO. We were surprised to discover we had the WHOLE inn to ourselves! PLENTY of room; we could easily have had several more people with us. It was roomy, rustic, and very comfortable; more than we were looking for and we suspect we'll be back next season. Would recommend in a heartbeat."

Bring up the rear in style with `Whiplash`

This delightful retreat combines the quaint appeal of a traditional caboose with contemporary comfort. From its elevated cupola, enjoy sweeping views of the landscape, just as the brakemen and conductors did while keeping watch over their trains on this legendary narrow-gauge railroad.

Enjoy deluxe accommodations with amazing views and sounds of the Cumbres & Toltec Narrow Guage Railroad.
