Rio Colorado Cabins — Hotel in Red River

The location was perfect for our needs. First we needed a dog friendly place. Our two small dogs were welcome with reasonable pet deposit. They do request you leave your dog in a crate if you leave them which we are in the habitat of doing anyway. We were there just before Mardi Gras. We prefer traveling during the week rather than busy weekends. Beautiful view of frozen pond, river and mountain. We enjoyed the frequent deer visitors. The cabin is rustic which we like. Full size fridge, oven, stove , coffee maker and microwave was appreciated. No problem with getting hot water for shower and pleanty of towels. We were only there 4 days so didn't need new towels. Cabin was warm. Nice to have remotes to raise or lower temperature in each bedroom and main room. One suggestion we might make is more places to hang towels to dry. There were only 2 of us but we used door tops to hang them. Could have been a bit crazy with more people. Our cabin was a 2 bedroom cabin. We just appreciated extra space and a separate room for dog crates as bedrooms are on the small size. We enjoyed our visit. They were on top of snow plowing around cabins and common areas. Nice areas to take a walk. We never saw any place to deposit dog poop bags but there was a large dumpster we walked to on the property. Also suggest bringing your own paper towels which we did and needed. Some place to get ice for beverages would be nice but Red River is small so not far to go to drive for purchasing ice. All that being said we will be returning to...

We have been taking vacations in Red River whenever possible since the early 90's. We stayed here for 10 days in the fall of 2021 and 9 days this fall. We absolutely love staying here. The staff is incredibly friendly and are a great resource to the local area. In 2021 we stayed in cabin 4 and this year stayed in cabin 16. Cabin 4 had two bedrooms and a wood burning fireplace. Cabin 16 also had two bedrooms and a gas fireplace. Both cabins had full kitchens and access to gas grills. We used the gas grill this year for several dinners and really enjoyed cooking out. Both cabins had nice decks and we enjoyed sitting outside with our dogs. Cabin 16 actually has decks on both sides and we utilized the "town" and "cabin" sided decks daily. They have several cabins on their stocked pond and on the river. We aren't fisherman, but enjoyed watching guests catch fish. Next year we will get a cabin on the river. Deer, ducks, and wild turkeys were seen almost every day. Both years we brought our dogs and the cabins are very pet friendly (as is Red River). The cabins are clean and well supplied. If you're interested they have Dish TV with several "premium" channels and high speed WiFi Internet. The views are great. It's a very quiet, family and pet friendly place to visit. We are looking forward...

I have to say my experience wasn't that great at the Rio Colorado. Spent the first night awake due to the air filter slamming up and down every time the heater kicked on and off. It was to small of a filter and just rattled around. So we tried to use the fireplace for some heat and of course that didn't work either! The "manager" I believe came by and checked it all out the next day. He wound up removing the filter in the ceiling and had no clue about the fireplace. He was also very sarcastic in his answers to us, as if he didn't want to hear anything we had to say, the sad part is I don't think he even knew he was being insulting! Seemed just like that was his personality. They never offered to move us to the vacant cabin next to us which I assumed would have working amenities, didn't offer a small refund for our cabin not being in working order and the kicker is they brought in plumbers to fix the fireplace as we were packing up and leaving! Unless we are given some type of refund for our stay there I will not be going back. The property was nice but the service from the "manager" and the problems with our cabin blew it for us. Oh, and I will post my sad experience there online. Sorry if this is not the review you wanted but it also was not the...
