Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful property. It truly is a special place, and we're thrilled you were able to experience it. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future for another memorable stay.
We stay at a fair number of VRBOs every year. Valentine's Ranch is by far our favorite. Check in and check out was very smooth and simple, the property is amazing. The next time we are in Raton we will be staying there.

we were pleasantly surprised by how wonderful the place was. Everything was well-kept, and our dog felt right at home too. We'll definitely be back if we're ever passing through again.
This house and property was absolutely wonderful. The check in and out process is so easy and quick! The house was very clean and well stocked. The beds were very comfortable, large televisions, and we couldn’t say enough about the yard and property surrounding. Our kids had the best time “exploring “ and we enjoyed the beautiful views. The owners were so kind and easy to communicate with. We will absolutely stay here again when we visit Raton!
Stunning little home that was perfect for the needs of the two of us and our dog. We wish we had more time to explore and utilize the property. We will try to stay again and book an extra day to have a bonfire and utilize some of the “steel.” It’s also very private and the gate provides comforting security .

Thank you for your feedback and for staying in a RedAwning property. We look forward to hosting you again.
What a nice place. This was one of my favorite properties we have ever rented.
The house was a pleasant surprise!
Newly remodeled. Luxury towels and sheets. Very clean and everything felt first class.
And the king mattress was wonderful.
The house is so cute and relaxing.
I was kinda worried about the highway ruining the view or the silence, but it was far away and not a problem.
The view is beautiful. Make sure and bring binoculars. I sat outside a lot and looked for animals.
I would stay again in a heartbeat. It was such a relaxing get away.
