About this property

Encanto Casita - Downtown Chama Home

The 1000 sq.ft. quiet little Encanto Casita is a newly remodeled quaint home located downtown in the village of Chama. The Cumbres & Toltec Railroad is located just a block down the road as well as all the shops, restaurants, and bars. For the more adventurous Sargents wildlife area is only a mile away or take quick drive up Cumbres Pass to access national forest. For larger groups book our sister property the 5 bedroom Encanto Lodge that shares the backyard.
We live in town if help is needed, myself or someone can help you out.
The Encanto Casita is on the north end of downtown just a block from the train and the historic downtown Chama where most of the shops, restaurants, and bars are within walking distance.
The Encanto Casita entrance is located in the alley behind both the Encanto Lodge and the Victorian B&B. The parking is small and is best for only one vehicle. Extra vehicles can be parked in front of the Encanto Lodge entrance.
The Encanto Casita is a 1 bedroom 1 bath home, but the living room has a pullout couch and the office has a twin bed as well. The backyard gives guests a great place to enjoy the mountain weather we have in Chama.

Just Right
Small house appropriate for a small family of 4-5. House was clean and had all the essentials available. Within walking distance of the Cumbres Toltec train.

Perfect Couple Retreat
This property is perfect for couples looking to get away. Within walking distance of the town of Chama, it leaves you with many chances to explore the town without having to drive. The house is also very quiet and makes for the prefect relaxing weekend away.

Liked: Cleanliness, communication
This casita is conveniently located within walking distance of Chama rail station and downtown amenities, such as they are. The unit is clean and functional. It is nice by Chama standards where everything is a bit rustic and funky. The unit could be better supplied. No hairdryer or dishwashing soap. No serving bowls. Limited cooking supplies in town with no restaurants Mon-Wed. But still one of the better options in great location.
