The Chaco Lodge Hacienda

A charming and peaceful retreat tucked away off the beaten path, surrounded by nature. You can relax on the veranda or patio, enjoy clear views of the night sky, and take in the calming sounds of the desert. We stayed in the Kiva Suite, which included a comfortable sitting area and a well-equipped kitchenette—plenty of space for the two of us to unwind. Note: Check-in, payment, and breakfast are all handled through Chaco Grill, which is located in town and not on the premises. Breakfast is made to order and was quite good—definitely worth the short drive.

Excellent Value and Great Location for visiting the many historic indigenous sites in the region. The owner's communication style was very casual, but dependable. The lodge was tucked away and felt very private. The place was clean and comfortable. Breakfast provided at local gas station/restaurant was exceptional, a true highlight of my trip.

We were able to stay for only one night and were immediately charmed by the home. It was a chilly night, but the home heated up quickly and had everything we needed. The beds were super comfy and cozy! Denny was easy to work with, friendly, and responsive. Both check-in and check-out went smoothly. And the huevos rancheros for breakfast at Chaco Grill? Fantastic!

If you're planning a trip to Chaco Canyon and you don't want to camp or stay in a sketchy motel, this place is for you. It's less than an hour and a half from Choco. The place is adorable and cozy.

This 2-room hacienda is in a beautiful setting about a mile from the little town of Cuba NM. It is the best location for visiting Chaco Canyon National Monument. I stayed in the spacious nicely appointed Kiva room. There was coffee and a decent kitchen. There's space outdoors for a short hike right on the grounds. The room includes delicious breakfast at Chaco Grill. The town of Cuba has a terrific New Mexican restaurant, El Bruno. Owner Denny didn't even take a deposit - everything was arranged by text on a trust basis.

The best place to stay in Cuba. Love the house and the yard. So tranquil. And the stars at night are amazing Nice firm mattress as well

We enjoyed two wonderful days at Chaco Lodge Hacienda in Oct 2024, and highly recommend it! We stayed here during our visits to Chaco Culture National Historical Park. Chaco Lodge has a peaceful setting, and the room is spacious and comfortable. We also spent time in morning and evening sitting on the patio. The breakfast burritos at the Chaco Grill were also delicious.

We stayed at the Chaco Lodge for 1 night in April on our way to Chaco Canyon, and we had a mostly very good experience, with just a couple of negatives. Denny's communication was very limited - just one 1-sentence confirmation from his phone. After reading a couple of the reviewers whose reservations had gotten mixed up, we decided to text Denny a few days before our trip to confirm. No reply. So then we called and he did answer his phone and confirm. After that, things went mostly smoothly. We stopped at the Phillips 66 and the worker there gave us the key and directions. The Kiva Suite was very comfortable, and the setting was beautiful. The heat was on in the suite, which was appreciated, since it was a chilly evening. We really enjoyed sitting on the patio looking at the pond and listening to the birds. We had dinner and breakfast at the Chaco Grill, which was very tasty and quite inexpensive, and the service was good. And we also ordered lunch to go, which was very handy for our day trip to Chaco. There were a couple of things not working in the Kiva Suite - the main light fixture in the bedroom and the coffee maker. Not life or death. And when I texted Denny just to let him know for posterity, he never responded. So not a perfect place, but it had its charm.

We stayed in the Kiva room, a self-enclosed suite attached to the house. We did not see the bedrooms in the main house. This review would be five stars except that while we were there the WiFi wasn't working. Everything else was lovely. The room was beautiful with a huge shower, and there was a great patio and homey front porch, with pleasant views of meadows and mountains. The only sounds were birds and the wind in the ancient cottonwoods. Cuba is an absolutely unpretentious little town (to put it mildly and kindly), but that's part of the attraction. It has two great New Mexican restaurants--El Bruno and The Chaco Grill, which is affiliated with the lodge (but is a five minute drive away). It's the perfect antidote to expensive, dripping-with-charm, tourist-filled towns like Taos or Santa Fe. In Cuba it's possible to experience New Mexico at its unpretentious, authentic, laid-back best. (There's also a funky, artsy drive-thru espresso stand at the north end of town, Juicy Jitters.) This B&B would be a good base for exploration of nearby ruins (Anasazi and Gallina) that are rarely visited--Bluebird Mesa, Rattlesnake Ridge, etc.--as well as the very famous Chaco Canyon (about 75 miles away).
