Camp Griffin was amazing! Location to the river is perfect with just a few steps away. Very peaceful.

Thank you so much! We're thrilled you loved Camp Griffin! That river location really can't be beat, can it? Just a few steps and you're there - no hiking boots or GPS required! And "peaceful" is exactly what we're going for. There's something about being that close to the water that just melts the stress away. We'd love to have you back anytime you need another dose of riverside tranquility. The river will be right where you left it, just a few steps away! Thanks again for staying with us!

Beautiful cabin with an even more beautiful view. The pictures online do not do this cabin justice. If was perfect for our family of 6. It was a little drive to town but the view was worth it to us. We hope to stay here again.
Perfect place to relax and enjoy the outdoors! We were there for a week and cooked on grill 4 nites and had a fire in fireplace every night!
Coffee on the front porch every morning watching the hummingbirds and crows in 40 degree weather was a treat!
The river below house was a great place and I actually caught a trout fly fishing!
We will definitely stay here again!

This is a great place to stay!
Overall this was a really nice cabin and in a great location, close enough to town yet private without too close neighbors. The cabin has unique, fun decorations. It was a perfect size for the eight of us. Everyone loved the pool table. Only downsides: the kitchen is under-equipped and the bathrooms were not truly clean (showers). We would recommend this cabin and would stay here again if we were in the Red River area.

We had a wonderful time! The house was everything we expected. The only bump is it needs a new coffee pot and tea kettle. The kitchen was stocked with an assortment of dishes and pots. The beds were comfortable and the pool table was so much fun. We plan to stay there every year.

Loved this location. Super clean & roomy, we loved the pool table and the backyard fire pit. Communication with the host was excellent. We never made it down to the river below because of the steep incline. We would definitely come back to this cabin! Thank you

Loved the cabin, perfect for family time and fun! Pool table was a busy place to be! The back yard was wonderful and the walk to the river was not long at all! The master bedroom was great and really liked having a washer and dryer! Having 3 bathrooms was so nice when everyone was trying to get ready!! Kitchen was well stocked and house was clean!!

We found Camp Griffin to be a really neat house. There was plenty of room, and the pool table was a big hit. The only complaint we have is the heat distribution in the house. It was cold on the ground floor and upstairs was like a furnace.

Relaxing and comfortable
This cabin was perfect for my family. There were 9 of us and we had plenty of room The kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. The views are breath taking. The river described is very beautiful but extremely hard to actually get to, although our kids did very well. The outside seating is not great but other than that everything was perfect.
We will be back.

Great Cabin - Mediocre Management
This is a great cabin, in a great area. Perfect for large families. Unfortunately, the check-in process was not as described in the welcome email. Also, there are some maintenance items that need to be taken care of at the cabin: front door sticks shut, leaky faucets, dead light bulbs, broken window lock (window won't shut all the way), etc. I would definitely stay here again, but mgmt should fix these things.

The water coming out of the faucets turned brown the first night. It ran out the next morning. The managers sent a plumber and he said the well had run dry. The property manager said she only had one other listing she could move us too which was a smaller cabin in town. This wasn't an option for us because we had members of our group that couldn't make that work. We had little or no water for most of the trip. We ended up coming home early. The property manager refunded the night we didn't stay. We would have left earlier but had already bought a 3 day pass and didn't want to loose the entire 1600 dollars we spent on tickets and rentals. ( ended up loosing 600) When we arrived there were signs this had been going on. Brown water stains in toilets ect. The plumber and managers said the drought had been effecting the water table. I wish the property managers gave us a heads up that we might be dealing with water issues. We could have rescheduled or made plans to stay somewhere else.

Thank you for your honest feedback. We're very sorry your stay was impacted by the unexpected well issue — we understand how disruptive that must have been and we are sorry for the inconvenience it caused.
We’re happy to share that the water issue has been fully resolved with the installation of a brand-new well.
We take guest comfort seriously, and while this was an unfortunate and rare situation, it prompted us to make long-term improvements to ensure future guests have the experience they expect and deserve.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during a difficult time, and we’re confident that this upgrade will give future visitors peace of mind. We do hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide the relaxing and fully equipped stay you originally envisioned.
Very nice home. It was very roomy and tastefully decorated.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the space and appreciated the décor! We like to think we nailed that sweet spot between "cozy mountain retreat" and "yes, there's actually room to move around without bumping into furniture." It means a lot that you noticed the little touches - we put a lot of heart into making it feel like a home away from home (just with better views than most of us have at our actual homes!). We'd love to welcome you back anytime. Thanks for staying with us!

This was a great cabin getaway for a long weekend. The place was roomy, and the game room kept us all entertained. It was a very short walk to the river and the area was great for the kids to play. The trip into town was a very short drive. My daughter left her stuffed animal and the property managers were able to find it and send it back. Thank You!!
