The Questa area stands in contrast to the resort towns on the east side of the mountains or the plethora of B&B’s and hotels in Taos. The accommodations we are famous for are our world-class camping sites. As of summer 2016, we have one traditional motel and one site with charming cabins:
Cabresto Cabins
Genuine log cabins in Cabresto Canyon bordering the National Forest. Great for families and groups, sleeps 4-9 guests. Nightly and weekly rentals average rates from $133.00.
Phone 575-779-7037. (see on VRBO.com, property #806035)
The Questa Lodge is located on Lower Embargo Rd., one easy turn off the main rd. (hwy 522) on the south end of town. They offer RV hook-ups, and cabins that range from cozy to family-size in a park-like setting by the Red River.
Phone 575-586-9913. www.Questalodge.com.
The Sangre de Cristo Motel has stood near the traffic light in the center of Questa for many years. If offers affordable, basic rooms with a very genuine retro feel.
Phone 575-586-0300
There are also a couple short-term rental houses for travelers to the area.
Vacation Rentals By Owner lists two lovely houses on the east side of Questa through www.VRBO.com (property #372713, and #354783).
The Kachina Motel at the south end of town is now only for longer-term motel needs (phone 770-6745).

The place for many choices in fine dining is Taos, just a half-hour to our south. And Red River has fine family choices 20 minutes to the east. Questa, however, is known for its hole-in-the-wall eateries with their loyal clientele, and our new cafe in the middle of town!
