About this property

RIVER IN YOUR FRONT YARD!/Suspended Fireplace/Perfect for Families & Groups/PETS

Got cabin fever? Come to the mountains of the Red River upper valley, on the river, 8 minutes from town!

This fun, A-frame, knotty pine cabin is a “home of your own” on a little over half an acre of land bordering the Red River. It is located five miles from the town of Red River and is close to dramatic hikes, skiing, snow-boarding, and fabulous trout fishing IN YOUR OWN BACK YARD! This large, three-story cabin is stylistically outfitted. It has two large master bedrooms on the second floor, one with a king bed and the other with a queen. Both masters offer balconies which open up to gorgeous views of the mountains or river. There is a large sleeping loft on the third floor with high ceilings, a third balcony, great light, a futon, two twin beds and one queen bed.

The downstairs open concept, gathering area surrounds a tremendous, one-of-a-kind floating gas-log fireplace, perfect for warming up in the winter or on a cool summer night. The reading room also functions as an extra sleeping area with a sofa bed. There is a 2nd sleeper sofa in the living room. The large kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils, and appliances. The large dining table accommodates 8-10 people. There are 2 stools at the kitchen bar as well. The over-sized, sunken tub in the downstairs bath is perfect for relaxing muscles after hiking the mountains or a day on the slopes.

You’ll ascend to the bedrooms on the large, metal spiral staircase standing in the center of the cabin. Please watch your young kiddos as they climb the stairs. There are 18” gaps between each vertical bar on that staircase. Concerned guests are welcome to bring baby gates to block the 3 entrances to the stairs on the different levels.

All towels the bathrooms and and bedding for the comfy beds are provided. You’ll enjoy free WIFI at the cabin, as well at many of the shops and restaurants in town. We have satellite TVs, but the house is more about old fashioned fun with playing cards, over 30 board games, and plenty of movies. There is an outdoor fire pit, charcoal grill, picnic area, and plenty of night sky for star gazing. You can nap, hike, watch the hummingbirds, and just relax. The community center in town has free daily activities in summer, lots of fun for the entire family. The towns of Angel Fire, Taos, and Eagle Nest are no more than 30-60 minutes away.

If you're interested in skiing, here are the drive times to each of the resorts:

Red River Ski Valley: 13 mins
Angel Fire Ski Valley: 47 mins
Taos Ski Valley: 1 hour and 10 mins

When approaching the cabin, you will see majestic Wheeler Peak, rising 13,000 feet in front of you. The drive descends to the cabin which is situated by the river and nestled among the trees. You will love the privacy and quiet. During the winter, you will want to park at the top of the drive or bring an AWD or 4WD vehicle to park next to the cabin. The drive is always plowed during the winter.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa

Host profile image
Our family has been coming up to Red River from the Dallas area since the late 1940s. My great-grandmother bought a cabin up Bitter Creek Road in town and later built a cabin off of High Street. It was here where the family made memories as we spent our growing up years vacationing here. We were sad when my grandparents sold it, but nothing could keep us from Red River! My mom bought a cabin in the Upper Valley. And now we are creating new traditions and remembering the old ones, as the next generation makes memories in the Red River mountains. We hope this cabin provides the same, unforgettable experiences for your family.

Why they chose this property

We chose to purchase this property because of the casual, welcoming warmth we felt as we walked through as well as it's many unique qualities.

What makes this property unique

This cabin was built by a man from Oklahoma City, OK who owned the company that Sonic Drive-In hired to build their restaurant ordering signs. He brought his steel builders to the property and built the cabin on site. The home inspector for the cabin said the place is built like a tank!

Also, If you're bringing a large group to Red River, check out our additional property, #7394549, "Birch Valley", which sleeps 12 people, and it's walking distance from "Texas Tipi"!
