"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."

"Perfect Place to Unplug and Enjoy Nature"
"The location of the lodge was perfect if you want to get into nature and unplug. Great access to hiking, fishing and relaxing. Wildlife sightings every day we were there. We went in mid May and almost had the entire place to ourselves. We will return Corkins lodge was just what we hoped for."

"Heaven On Earth"
"Heaven on Earth. The Brazo falls were spectacular this year. We caught so many nice size trout in the lake... awesome. Great hiking area. We love the Juniper cabin. Outfitted with high end kitchen appliances. The great room has a stunning view through a wall of windows. Already made reservations for next year!"

"A Great Place to Decompress"
"My partner had just retired and I thought this might be a good place to take him to decompress. It was perfect. Beautiful setting! It rained but we just built a fire in the fireplace, played games and put a puzzle together. The cabin was well appointed. We had everything we needed to prepare our meals. Great place!"

"Wonderful Location for a Getaway"
"What an amazing getaway visiting Corkin's Lodge turned out to be! Our cabin (Sloane's) was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our 2-night stay. The bench on the lake was the perfect place to watch the waterfall with a glass of wine. We took a hike down to the treehouse by the river. Spectacular views! The Brazos Cliffs made a perfect backdrop for our adventure. In the evenings, the deer appeared, and the chipmunks, Robins, and turkeys made their appearance. We'll be back."

"A Family Vacation We Can’t Wait to Come Back To!"
"We stayed in the Log Cabin for a family vacation. Being my third time to Chama, I knew what to expect but the Log Cabin was amazingly furnished; super clean; large cookware for the biggest cabin. I have now introduced Corkins to a new generation who can’t wait to come back. We got to see the waterfall, caught fish, saw turkeys, deer, and an eagle. Evenings spent on the back porch talking were priceless!
We’ll be back!"

"A Perfect Stay with the Most Beautiful View"
"My adult kids and I spent three beautiful, peaceful, and quiet nights at Corkins Lodge at the end of March. The Juniper cabin was beyond my expectations and has the most beautiful view. The only one that might be even more beautiful would be the Log Cabin. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals. Firewood was available and the outdoor grill was ready to go. Truly, there was nothing we would have changed. It was a perfect stay and all of us can't wait until we can come back."

"Beautiful"
"We stayed in the Sloanes cabin for a fly fishing trip with Land of Enchantment fly fishing. The property is amazing and the cabin was very comfortable. We highly recommend if you want to get away from technology and recharge your body and Mind. Chama is a cute little town, not far away. Would highly recommend staying here!"

"Beyond What One Would Expect from a Fishing Lodge"
"Highly recommend. My wife and I stayed at the Penasco cabin on the property, a 3 bedroom, 1 bath well appointed cabin. The interior was clean and the decor was above and beyond what one would expect from a fishing lodge. Amenities in the cabin included dishwasher, microwave, on demand hot water and wi-fi with an acceptable signal strength. My wife who agreed to join me on this trip, a non fishermen, settled in comfortably enjoying the well maintained/clean heated pool and the serenity of sitting on the front porch of the cabin reading and catching up on correspondence."

The cabins have great and updated amenities and are very comfortable. We love the hiking and fishing on the property, the heated pool, and the fun outdoor games.

"Spectacular Setting And Impressive Cabins: a Winner!"
"Combine a spectacular setting with impressive cabins and you have Corkins Lodge. I have always wanted to stay there at the base of the Brazos cliffs, and I was not disappointed. The view of the cliffs reflected in the lake below the cabins is stunning. Wildlife is abundant and there are hiking trails to explore the woodlands. For those interested in a pool, outdoor/indoor games, and playgrounds, Corkins has those as well. Don’t miss this outstanding lodge in northern NM."

"A Great Time in This Bit of Outdoor Heaven"
"A small family gathering of Grandparents, parents (2 sets) & grandkids (4 ). Wonderful hiking, fishing and general outdoor activities for all. This is our 3rd year to do this at Corkins and we look forward to next year. In previous years, we stayed at on of the smaller cabins, and although crowded, we had a great time. This year, we splurged at the largest cabin and though a bit more pricey, the furnishings, appliances, and spaciousness were first rate. Reserve well in advance to experience this bit of outdoor heaven."

"A Place to Recharge"
"What can one say when their expectations are exceeded! There is a peaceful calming feeling about these cabins! The grounds are so very well maintained and the crew are just really good and attentive people! The Loghouse construction is marvelous it is truly what one would expect from it's name! The cabins are really well appointed and furnished! The kitchen setup is well thought out by someone who understands what to expect in a kitchen! The range and stove definitely made us want one for our home! The bedding and towels were excellent and plentiful! If you hope to find a place to recharge or just to leave this modern hectic world behind or just to enjoy the company of loved one this is place!"

"A Little Slice of Heaven on Earth"
"Corkin's is a little slice of heaven on earth. My family has been visiting Corkin's for 25 years. We rarely miss a year. The chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life is a gift. Watching the stars, listening to the river and smelling the trees is cathartic. The cabins are constantly being improved while Philo remains a constant."

"Great Fishing and Perfect Weather"
"Back again for our 3rd week this summer. Cabin is great, fishing in both the lake and river is very good (caught and released 17 trout in two 3 hour trips with one over 22 inches), pool is warm and weather is perfect. Will be booking multiple weeks next year and a family reunion."
