Overall this property is in a great location, but it is clear it hasn’t been updated or deep cleaned in years. There were 8 of us and we all agreed that the beds were well over their limit and probably some of the worst we have ever slept in. The property has a ton of potential but the missing or ripped screens, cracks in windows, fixture hanging from the wire and literal dust and cobwebs on the ceiling make it apparent that no one is keeping up with the property. In general it was a place to come back to, but if we were to visit again we likely wouldn’t stay here without some significant updates being made.
Our 3rd time staying here with friends. Beds are super comfy and we always bring corn and unsalted wildlife peanuts for the ducks and Stellar jays

Thanks so much for your feedback Terry! We’re really glad you enjoyed your stay! We will take your feedback and improve on it. Thanks again for the review and for being such a great
We really appreciated the new carpet and flooring in the property. The beds were very clean and comfortable. It was a lovely location by the river. Great place for a family get together.
We really enjoyed our stay and ski trip to Red River. The house was well suited for our three family group. The kids really enjoyed the upstairs tv room and rec area.
We enjoyed the home, plenty of room for 2 couples and 2 grandmas. Watched movies in the evenings, sat and played games on the patio in the afternoons and enjoyed the patio for our morning coffee!!
We always take a friends ski trip each year and have been looking for the perfect place to stay. This fit all of our needs! It’s very spacious, very family friendly, lots of room to not feel cramped in one space. We loved that it was on the outskirts of town and on the river! Close enough to town to still be convenient! We’ve already booked it for next year! Love that it had a garage and washer and dryer!
12 people, age 7 to 68 had plenty of space to be together and apart for 5 nights. Great place. We cooked 2 meals a day, morning and evening, and skied during the day. Would do it again!
Older home but comfortable for multiple families with 2 living spaces. The deck and river was great! Although the kitchen (dishes, coffee pot, counter and garage)were not clean, the bedrooms and bathrooms seemed clean. Overall nice place.

Making Family Memories
Lucky River Retreat is a true getaway! This is our family's second year to stay in this great home. Plenty of room for our three family's! Our favorite part is being right on the river where you can fish, race boats, made at the Community Center and enjoy an evening around the fire. This is our family's fav! We look forward to many more memories here!! Resort Reality is a dream to work with...on top of all the details.

We look forward to having you and your family back! Lucky River Retreat really is a special home - I am happy to hear that your family enjoyed the fire pit right next to the river in the backyard! I love seeing our guests enjoying the backyard at Lucky River Retreat!
The host was great! The house itself needs repairs done-stove doesn’t work properly, cabinets don’t stay closed, bedroom doors partway gone. The dish soap had like maybe 2 inches in it, less than half row of paper towels, 2 large kitchen trash bags, no foil or plastic wrap. We had to go buy all these items. We rented for 3 days so for 8 people that amount of supplies did not work.
Great family trip with fishing right in the back yard.
Big place for everyone to enjoy. The lighting is poor but just spend more tine outside!
Fishing in the backyard was super fun!
The oven does not work very well if you plan on cooking and the bbq temp regulators dont work either.
This is the second time we have stayed at this property and will continue to book it for our annual trips to the Red River Oktoberfest. There are a few small repairs that need to be made but overall it is excellent. A lot of space for a large group (we had 9 adults) without feeling like you’re on top of each other. Two bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs for those with mobility issues is great and not something easily found in Red River. The management is super friendly and easy to work with.
Great home on the creek. Easy access to all the events that were going on in town. All bedrooms were great size and very comfortable. Hanging out on the amazing patio and backyard was our favorite time of the day. The only recommendation I would make. No local TV station for news or weather.
We enjoyed this cabin. There was plenty of room for us, our kids and grandkids. The beds were so comfortable which means so much for me to get plenty of rest for our daily adventures. There were plenty of tvs for everyone to watch their own shows and also a kitchen to cook our meals. The creek in the back was a plus. Everyone enjoyed it. We were close to the restaurants and shops which all of us girls loved. Riding in the mountains close by was so much fun and some of us enjoyed the fishing nearby. I would recommend this cabin to anyone and I hope to stay here again.
The cabin was beautiful and clean. We were only disappointed in the lack of decorations. No christmas decorations at all. They had the tree in garage like they were getting ready to put it up but didn’t take the time. It would have been wonderful have our Christmas in the mountains and it actually be decorated.
Good place to have friends/family over. Needs some repair to stair rails inside house and stove needs immediate attention. Knobs do not shut off gas as they should. Quiet and very spacious. Nice stay with even the snake in the garage.

Great location however this house needs some tender loving care. Unfortunately it obvious that the rental money brought in by this little mountain house has not been used to maintain it t even clean it properly. It’s Shame. There a ton of dog damage done that has not been repaired. Location good. The house deserves better

The master tub was dirty. We never received a working coffee pot. The dishwasher was broken and never repaired. The refrigerator was set to warm so it took a while to cool the food we bought. We received notice the day before that our other property had an issue and we were given 2 choices.

Red River Retreat Cabin.
We enjoyed our stay but the house was not properly sanitized. We cleaned the pool sticks, and the Clorox wipes came out black like they have never been cleaned and who knows how long, after that we decided to clean door knobs, light switches cabinets in kitchen and stairway grab bar. Everything was dirty. Dishes we dusty. It should of been more clean and ready for us to us with out worries.
