Review from Amy R.

WHile I staying at a nearby spa, the hotel staff suggested lunch here. It was quite pleasant surprise. Good sandwich (I had the green chili philly, which was just spicy enough for me, followed by a fantastic slice of blueberry pie).
They had a great array of religous toys (including a lunch pail with The Last Supper on it). We got a kick out of browsing through the merchandise. -

GEORGIA O'KEEFFE? Hang on I'll get to her. . . .
YOU NEED HUNTING, CAMPING AND FISHING SUPPLIES? Well this is the place . . . THE ONLY PLACE!
BODE'S GENERAL MERCHANDISE is the only store for 35 miles in any direction . . . and, in a couple of directions, it probably is even further than 35 miles!
Remember those country stores in the movies with the OLD GUYS sitting around a fireplace or wood stove in rocking chairs "CHEWING & SPITTING" and "SPINNING YARNS?" I swear they filmed all those scenes at Bode's!
Walk in any day of the week (oh, wait, I think they are closed on Sundays!) and you'll find those guys spinning fishing & hunting stories from Abiquiu Lake, or the mountains around Chama - both just a few miles up the road.
Bode's sells just about a little of everything you could possibly want and have been doing so since 1919. AN ORIGINAL STORE. Right out of the movies. A fun place to explore. A place to spin yarns.
Not your usual tourist trap, but a real Northern New Mexico COUNTRY STORE that serves the residents of the small community of Abiquiu and surrounding farms & ranches. (My favorite T-Shirt is from Bode's. You can order them online.) Plus they have fishing, camping and hunting supplies for the outdoorsmen headed into the GREAT WILDERNESS OF NORTHERN NEW MEXICO.
And . . . . . just so you don't get the idea that this place is TOTALLY REMOTE, and who in the world would EVER want to stop or shop here . . . . this little merchantile is directly ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE HOME OF ONE OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST ARTISTS: GEORGIA O'KEEFFE. Up on the hill above Bode's, facing the Plaza, was her principal residence. She did have a small summer home up the road about 13 miles, but the home across from Bode's, was where she spent most of her time.
Bode's is in God's Country . . . or at least it was Georgia O'Keeffe's country. Just look at her landscape paintings . . . then step out of the door at Bode's and look around . . . . they are one in the same.
