2. House has a water well and septic system. Water pressure can vary so we ask that you not run all the showers at one time. Additionally, we ask that you use the toilet paper provided (single ply) and that you not flush feminine products to avoid clogging.
3. Respect the neighbors property and privacy. No trespassing.
4. No joy riding ATV/ROV's in the neighborhood. (ROV = Recreational Off-Road Vehicle)
5. No food or trash left outside the home or in your vehicle. There is wildlife, including bears. Leaving food/trash outdoors or in your car can attract unwanted visitors and they can be very dangerous and destructive. We are not responsible for damage to your personal items, including your vehicle and/or ROVs.
6. House garage and personal items stored in garage are off limits to guests. Guest may pass through the garage to access one of the entry doors.
7. Property accessibility. During the summer, 2-wheel drive is fine. During the winter, a 4-wheel/AWD vehicle is a must, especially in snow. You might consider being prepared with chains/snow socks.

12. If you cook outside on the porch and make a mess, clean it up. Do not dump your grease on the porch. Yes, seriously, someone did that!
13. We provided internet, and the service is fairly reliable for the mountains, however occasionally it may not work. Consider coming prepared with a backup plan, such as using your cellphone hotspot or else.
14. Check the calendar of events to see what is happening in Red River before you book your stay to make sure the events are appropriate for your family. I'm happy to discuss events upon request. https://redriver.org/events/annual-events/
15. This is our home. Enjoy yourself but be respectful.

Our retreat review
The house has a great kitchen if you like to cook (pots, pans, utensils, crockpot, blender, toaster). It’s in a quiet neighborhood. We loved everything except the beds- none of us slept very well because they were extremely firm and we prefer softer beds. This might not matter to some people but wanted to mention it.

Wonderful place!
Close to town but far enough out where it’s peaceful and quiet at night. House was big enough for 4 families.

Annual summer family trip
We were very satisfied with our stay. The backyard was beautiful. It was great for the 4 and 6 year old. It kept them corralled in one area. We had plenty of parking for two trailers with our side by sides. Cindy was great to work with and helped us with some minor housekeeping items after arrival. We plan on booking for next year.

About the host

Host profile image
Our Red River home is a North Texas multi-family owned property. Red River has been a part of our family vacation destinations for over 50 years. Our parents first purchased property in Red River over 20 years ago. As our family grew, so did our need for a more spacious home, so the Ace Barnes home was purchased in 2021. We are blessed to have this home and welcome the opportunity to share with our guest. We appreciate your interest in our property and we hope to host a home that you love as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Beautiful does not even begin to describe this property. Nestled on the mountainside in a private area in the upper valley you will be in a quiet area with opportunity to see wildlife and nature walks as the National Forest is our backyard. Be sure to learn more about ROV/OHV and Fishing in New Mexico to ensure you have all your proper ROV/OHV registrations and fishing licensing. There is no river access from our home. You will have to find a public access point to fish.

What makes this property unique

Extremely quiet, private and panoramic views from the front porch. Stunningly beautiful. The house has the national forest as it's backyard.
