The Chaco Lodge Hacienda dates back almost a century. It was built by Alfredo Montoya, an early 1900's rancher in the Cuba, New Mexico Valley. The walls are constructed of adobe bricks that are at least 16-inches thick...the old house is warm in the winter and cool in summer.
The land around the Hacienda was where early Spaniards first settled in the late 1700's. The land was wet and fertile at the time, fed by four streams coming down out of the nearby mountains, the Nacimiento, Rito Leche, Rio Puerco and the San Jose..
Denny & Isabel Herrera have lovingly renovated the old structure back to its former glory and it is now a comfortable place to spend a night, a weekend or longer as a base to explore the area and partake in the many outdoor actvities available.
