Fantastic Cabin for Peace & Quiet

This is a fantastic cabin for peace and quiet that lives up to the reviews! I stayed for 3 days and thoroughly enjoyed the property and surrounding area.The attention to detail was highly appreciated. This includes arrival snacks, a guide to the cabin’s details, comfortable furniture, and expansive entertainment set-up. The hosts even offer support for celebrations and surprises if that’s your stay’s intent.If I return to Red River I’ll be staying here again.

Great cabin in Red River

This is a great place to stay when your travels take you to the Red River area. It sits close enough to town for skiing shopping and grabbing a bite, but far enough away in the valley to be peaceful and scenic. The cabin has everything you might need and the host makes sure you feel at home. We would stay here again.

First time in Northern NM

Coming from a Central Texas resort town, we found Red River to be delightful. The cabin and the host were perfect. Sitting in a beautiful Pine Valley, the view was spectacular and access to the river was perfect. The description of the cabin is extremely accurate.

Mountain Retreat

Cozy cabin perfect for a couple or small family. Location at the end of the road afforded privacy and quiet. Stream I was within easy walking distance. Internet worked great for our devices, tv not so much. Any future trips and we will book again

Quiet Couple of Days

Visited during last week of April/first week of May. Red River was not busy at all and the cabin was a perfect retreat for peace and quiet! Host was receptive to our pets (thank you) and everything was perfect!! Comfortable sleeping arrangements and cabin had everything we needed and more! Thanks again and we'll return as soon as possible!

Great time

We enjoyed our stay at this cozy little cabin. It was clean and neat and had everything we could want. We got to Red River a little early so we texted to see if there was any way we could get into the cabin early and Natalie got back to us immediately and told us the cabin was ready. We spent a lot of time outdoors. It was beautiful there.

TIME TO GET AWAY

We had a delay getting into the property. The cleaner had to spend extra time eliminating pet hair since the previous renters were there for an extended stay. We could smell the dog when we first got in and were somewhat upset. The cleaner did apologize and gave us a bottle of wine. It didn't take long with the windows open and a fire going to clear out the smell. The cabin was beautiful and the location at the end of the drive ideal. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return soon.

Weekend getaway

The Charlie Cabin was all that was described and more! The surroundings were peaceful and serene, providing a backdrop to a much-needed weekend getaway. A short drive into town to enjoy local shopping and restaurants, the cabin was also set up to allow meals "at home". Natalie was a gracious hostess who was quick to respond to questions related to check-in and followed up whenever needed. The neighboring cabin, also owned by the family, is within walking distance and will definitely be considered for larger family reservations. This cabin is a must-stay if you're looking for time away in the mountains of Red River!

Amazing getaway…nature abounds!

My husband and I brought out dogs for a long weekend and were thrilled by this quaint cabin. The ideal location at the end if the neighborhood made it very private and great for our dogs to roam a bit. The views are breathtaking. Everywhere you look, nature is at its finest. It’s very close to town and food, entertainment, skiing, you name it. The responsiveness from Natalie was beyond compare. We are frequent VRBO’ers and this was the best experience to date. It’s clear the owners care about their guests. Highly recommend this little piece of heaven.

Great stay!

This cute cabin is located in Valley of the Pines tucked back at the end of the road on the side of the mountain. Everything was very clean and the manager was great and checked in every other day to check in to see how things were going. This cabin is a 1 bedroom that is located up a narrow spiral staircase with a full bath up there. For additional people to stay there are air mattresses, so I would recommend a max of 2 adults and probably kids that don't mind air mattresses but 3 adults was a little rough. The staircase being narrow makes it slightly difficult for people with limited mobility to get up to the shower. Otherwise, this cabin was very relaxing and comfortable to stay in. I would definitely recommend this place and might be back next year if I can get the time off.

We had a check in time of 4pm. Cleaning lady was still there until 4:15 pm. Did not receive check in information until 3:30pm. Had left property manager 2 voicemails starting at 10:30 that morning letting him know we had no information on the property.

Our 1st Christmas Vacation as a family!

We haven’t ever had a family Christmas vacation. You see our daughter is adopted. So this was our very first family Christmas vacation. It was more than words can express. Priceless and a dream come true. Definitely will be coming back and have already recommended it to lots of friends. Seriously, something from movie picturesque. We can’t thank the host enough for our enjoyment!

Amazing

My husband and I celebrated out 33rd anniversary at this beautiful cabin in the woods. This was the perfect escape from our hectic city work lives and we were able to find peace and quiet here. Every detail was taken care of from early check in to the amazing bath soaps, the comfy bed and the relaxing front porch we read books on. We hiked in the Rio Grande, drove the Enchanted Circle, visited Taos, Questa and the Earth Ships and looked forward to heading back to the comfy cabin for a good nights sleep. Our host Natalie was amazing and made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay perfect! Thank you for a wonderful anniversary, Natalie :)

Perfect Cabin Escape in the Mountains!

Our state in Red River was fantastic. Natalie was great at communicating with us super quickly. The property was fantastic. It’s tucked at the end of a small road so you back up against the national forest. It was very quiet, but also less than 10 minutes to town to go to restaurants. The cabin was really well equipped and had everything we needed to cook meals at home while we stayed in Red River. Fantastic location, very secluded, but at the same time convenient. The bed was extremely comfortable and we had tons of hot water while we were there. All of the amenities including the streaming services, and the music from Google home were very convenient and added to our stay. We would definitely come back! Thank you!

Best Experience I have ever had

We stayed here over New Years weekend, and seriously had the best time! Natalie was by far the best host we have ever experienced, and hands down fantastic!! We loved every bit of our stay.. they literally have thought of everything you may need and provided it.. only thing we needed was ourselves and our food! That’s it! The cabin was charming to say the least! And the views were breathtaking! We very much appreciated the friendliness and the feeling of being family while we were staying in their cabin ❤️ If you are looking for a beautiful spot tucked just far enough from town with the nicest host you can think of… this is your place! Thank you again for everything!! It truly was the best vacation my family and I have taken ❤️
