The cabin is big and spacious making it a great place for large groups! There was plenty of seating in the living room and the kitchen table was huge making it possible for our group of 15 to all sit together for meal time. There was also a sitting room surrounded by windows with a space heater with beautiful views. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked with supplies and the bedrooms had plenty of bedding with extra covers and pillows if needed. Red River is just a few minutes down the road and we also visited hiking trails that were a short drive away. Definitely recommend for family or friend get aways!

About the host

Hosted by Marie

Host profile image
We live in Albuquerque with our three daughters. We have been coming to Red River for several years and fell in love with the charming town! We are excited to share this beautiful home with you and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

When we saw this house we immediately envisioned spending winters evenings playing board games in front of the stone fireplace, snowshoeing in the forest above the house and sledding down the hill, and sipping wine on the back porch as the kids played in the forest on warm summer evenings.

What makes this property unique

This home features a large kitchen where several cooks can work together without getting in each other's way, multiple living areas so groups can talk, watch a movie, and play games at the same time, and a beautiful view all around!
