 "We loved the swimming pool with gorgeous views of the cliffs! We also played outdoor games like bocce ball and horseshoes along with enjoying their game room and a rousing game of Ping Ping. Our host even had board games to take to our cabin on the one afternoon it rained. If you enjoy peace, nature, and getting away from the hustle and bustle, this is an amazing place to stay!"

Four Seasons To Explore

Corkins Lodge is truly a four-season destination. Each season brings its own unique colors and opportunities for adventures.

Summer is our most popular season when our outdoor pool is open, and the mountain air is warm enough to take a dip in the Brazos River. 

Fall is a gorgeous time in the mountains; the aspens turn golden, and the oak brush turns orange. Fall is also a great time to hike into the box canyon as the river is typically lower.

Winter at Corkins is perfect for snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. The area gets blanketed by snow and our winter cabins feature stocked fireplaces and wood-burning stoves.

Spring snowmelt  runoff from the Brazos cliffs creates New Mexico's highest waterfall, which can run for a few days or weeks depending on the winter snowpack. 

★★★★★

"Outstanding Stay in a Perfect Setting"

"Everything was exactly as it was advertised except the views and location cannot be adequately described, they must be experienced. The cabin had a perfect rustic feel but with modern amenities. The fishing and hiking was superb as well. Would recommend to anyone who wants a getaway in the Northern NM mountains."
