Our family enjoyed our stay at the cabin, it was quiet and peaceful. The location was close to other activities available in town. Kitchen and dining area were highlights of the cabin, newer appliances and a large table accommodated our family of 10 easily.

Family vacation

This beautiful home allows our family to stay together and enjoy the exquisite mountains of Red River. The home is so comfortable and well equipped. We loved cooking in the kitchen and playing games around the large dining room table. This location is close to trails for hiking as well. Thank you Marie, for sharing your home with us!

Fantastic!

This was our favorite house, by far. The details like the coffee provided, soft sheets, enough dinnerware and serving pieces to feed all of Red River in style, paper goods, spacious rooms…I could go on. But the view and watching the sunrise on the front porch was the best!

Very nice house. Three families, six adults and four kids. Kids loved the upstairs room with four twin beds and their own area to hang out. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking pans and plenty of dishes. We cooked every night for five nights.

About the host

Hosted by Marie

Host profile image
We live in Albuquerque with our three daughters. We have been coming to Red River for several years and fell in love with the charming town! We are excited to share this beautiful home with you and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

When we saw this house we immediately envisioned spending winters evenings playing board games in front of the stone fireplace, snowshoeing in the forest above the house and sledding down the hill, and sipping wine on the back porch as the kids played in the forest on warm summer evenings.

What makes this property unique

This home features a large kitchen where several cooks can work together without getting in each other's way, multiple living areas so groups can talk, watch a movie, and play games at the same time, and a beautiful view all around!
