A lovely home. The king bed was comfortable, but the other beds not so much. Kitchen was pretty well stocked for cooking meals. Really enjoyed the hummingbirds on the back porch. Of course the best aspect of this house is the location on the river. Kept the 6 year old entertained for hours and we even caught a couple of fish!

Red River family Christmas

We had a great time! The house was exactly what we were looking for. We had plenty of room for 7 adults and a baby. The Christmas tree and decorated fireplace mantle made us feel like we were at home.

Ski vacation

Awesome cabin with a great location. We loved being a little further up the mountain and away from town. The cabin had plenty of room for our family of five. We had another family of four come over one night to watch football and cook burgers and it never felt crowded. I would highly recommend staying at "Rocky Top Rio", you will not be disappointed!

Great family experience

Loved the property and the cabin .. My only issue is the property is best for 6 people and not 8.. The pull out couch is in the utility room with the water heater so it’s not very quiet and the pull out bed is extremely uncomfortable for 2 people .. besides the utility room/ bedroom it is a great place to stay ..

Awesome stay!!

We loved everything about Rocky Top Rio! Everything worked great and the location was fantastic. To top it off, it snowed several inches while we were there. Absolutely beautiful! Mr. Newton himself brought us firewood and we loved the fireplace. Christie at Swan Realty was great at answering all of our questions during our stay. We will definitely be back!
