Girl's Vacation

This was the perfect place to vacation. It was quiet and secluded. The home was beautiful and perfect for sitting on the balcony by the fire while it was raining. It was close to the ski lift and the local restaurants and grocery store. You can not ask for a better place to enjoy the mountain air.

Beautiful spot and beautiful home. We heard elk bugling every morning, a deer walked through the property and the birds were beautiful. We opted to stay at the house all Sunday instead of going and visiting the town because it was so recharging. Much needed considering my husbands and mine busy, hectic schedules. The check in and check out, by the way, was seemless, easy to follow, and unintrusive. Thank you for not adding more stress to our busy lives, but instead, taking some away!

This house is like home to us. It is very clean and cozy. It’s always decorated for the seasons and has gorgeous pictures. Deer and wild turkeys are frequently strolling through. We’ve been here 4 times, and would never think about staying anywhere else

Family Thanksgiving Trip 2023

The cabin was perfect for our family of 5! Very clean and cozy. Plenty of space and well equipped. Loved the fire pit on the deck and the fire ring on the hill. A group of 13 deer walked right up to the cabin and were very tame. Make sure you visit Red River!

Very tranquil

The house is so beautiful, and the area is so quiet and peaceful. We loved seeing wildlife up close—just make sure to supervise kids outside ;) The house also had games and puzzles, awesome deck for s’mores and enjoying the peace and quiet and beautiful scenery. Something for everyone. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous Views, Beautiful Home

Tranquility Lodge lived up to its name. Gorgeous home with windows on three sides and beautiful views from all 3 bedrooms. Spacious kitchen, combo dining and den area. We enjoyed family meals and game nights. Lots of wildlife in the area. We felt secluded and enjoyed the beautiful nature all around, yet located near resort and small town. Messages went unanswered prior to the stay. It is better to phone VRBO to communicate.

Angle Fire summer retreat

Our family had the opportunity to get out of the heat of Florida and Texas to enjoy the cool summer weather in Angel Fire and happily found Tranquility Lodge. For a group of six adults in our 60s the amenities were perfect. Each of the three bedrooms have a private bath and deck. The photos accurately represent the furnishings and amenities, please note that the smaller upstairs bedroom has a queen size bunkbeds. All enjoyed the fire pit on the deck and the fireplace in the living room. The home is conveniently (5 to 7 min) located to the ski lift, local restaurants and grocery store. Hummingbirds abound and turkey meandered through the yard along with deer, chipmunks and squirrels. Our only regret is that we did not see any elk this year as we have done in the past two. The manger was responsive to any questions or concerns we had both before and during the stay. The arrival and departure procedures were easy and quick.

Needs a deep cleaning but Beautiful

This property NEEDS a deep cleaning. All the bathrooms had dead insects in the tub or shower upon arrival. The master shower truly needs deep cleaning. It has an odor and drains slowly. There was a large clump of hair in the shower which suggests it is not cleaned between "rentals". Spotted fresh/new rat poop on the third day of our stay in the master bathroom. There were large spider webs from the back of the couch in the living room to the top of the beautiful ceiling high windows. Lots of dead moths in the living room behind the tables and couch. There were live roaches and moths in both upstairs bathrooms. In the nicer upstairs bathroom, there were hundreds/thousands of baby spiders coming out of the ceiling. There was a starter supply of paper towels, dish soap, and trash bags but it would have been nice to have these items in full supply and not something we needed to purchase or bring. There was a bear on the porch also. The property is nice but really needs deep cleaning and to better stocked with staple items.

Family Christmas Vacation

The house is amazing! The location is perfect for staying at the house and enjoying the frequent wildlife visits, or close to the slopes! The house has plenty of rooms and space. It is somewhat off the road so there isn't much traffic or close neighbors. It would have been a 5 star rating, if it was not for the cleanliness of the house. It was not ready until an hour past the check- in time(the cleaning people had arrived 45 mins before check in.......we were in the area driving around and happened to see their arrival time.) The dishwasher was left full of dishes. The living room floor had left over Christmas wrapping under the couches, and red tinsel on the carpet (which made me question if the floor had been vacuumed at all.) When we went to use the towels they all smelled of cigarette smoke. I had to rewash them all before we could use them. I reached out to the management company several times with my concerns about the cleaning company, but never got anything more than "we will look into it and get back with you" which still has not happened. I wanted to contact the owners directly with my concerns because I know it is not their fault and they are strictly using a cleaning company, but I have been unsuccessful in doing so. I do not like leaving negative reviews, especially when the house in itself is beautiful and we loved it aside from the above concerns. We would return to this home again if the cleaning issues (which I am sure they will be) were corrected.
