- "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! "

" - "Overall very clean and nice place. Wish in future they would have refrigerator and microwave in the room." - "Clean basic hotel in very small town at the terminus of the Cumbress & Toltec RR. Close to RR station." - "We had never been to New Mexico before and love taking the scenic side roads instead of the highways, which led us to this gem. We arrived during a torrential rainstorm, but Tanya went above and beyond to help us get settled in. She even made sure we had a ground-floor room for our dog, which was so appreciated. Though the rain kept us in for the evening, the next morning brought sunshine and the chance to explore this charming town. The people here are incredibly friendly, and the whole experience felt warm and welcoming from start to finish. If you're passing through—especially if you're taking the backroads—definitely stay here!"

- "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."
