Family vacation

This beautiful home allows our family to stay together and enjoy the exquisite mountains of Red River. The home is so comfortable and well equipped. We loved cooking in the kitchen and playing games around the large dining room table. This location is close to trails for hiking as well. Thank you Marie, for sharing your home with us!

Family vacation

Our family of 15 from Texas had a wonderful stay at your cabin in Red River. Especially enjoyed our evenings at the cabin cooking and enjoying time on the front porch. One evening before dark enjoyed watching over 30 Elk grazing in the field in front of the house.

Great place

We had a great time. The cabin was excellent and everything worked and very clean. We met the neighbors next door that live there in the summer. Very nice people from Waco, Texas. I enjoyed watching my grandchildren play and bond with their cousins out in the yard. We would definitely rent this cabin again.

Very well equipped large home

This was a very nice well-equipped home. There was plenty of room for my wife and I, my daughter and her husband, and my son and his wife and our 3 grandkids. The home was located in a beautiful setting near Red River. The large table allowed us to all eat together.

Post Retirement Get Away

We love the Red River / Angel Fire area, having visited the area, a number of times. This property needs a little TLC in a couple of areas but we were happy with the overall facilities and location a few miles up the valley from Red River. I could see how this would be perfect for a larger group, with plenty of sleeping, dining and gathering space, although it was just my wife and I this time around.

Summer Mountain Vacation

We traditionally go camping for our summer vacation. This year we decided to enjoy the mountains without so much work. This home allowed our family to come together and do all of the camping activities we enjoy; hiking, making s’mores, coffee on the front porch and playing games. It was super clean and comfortable with all the comforts of home provided. We would love to come again for a longer stay.

Awesome Cabin!!

Marie was always quick to respond to whatever questions I might have had prior and after renting her property. The cabin was awesome, the pictures do it no justice. I loved that the whole family got to sit at the dining table. Very spacious for a family of fourteen. My wife loved the sun room.Thank you Marie for letting us stay in your cabin. We would love to rent it again in the future.

A cabin that has it all!

I would definitely stay at this cabin again. It has a great location, very spacious, comfortable furniture, huge kitchen very well stocked, and southwestern motif. We had 11 family members ages 8-72. There were multiple TVs, fireplaces, games, and puzzles. If there's a huge snow the road is plowed but you will have to navigate the the driveway which has a bit of a slope. If you have a mobility issue the front door has about a dozen steps but they are covered. The view is spectacular!

Red River Weddings

Our stay at The Native Elk Cabin was amazing. The cabin is beautiful and accommodated the three families & friends easily. Marie was very quick with her responses and communicated answers to my questions in a timely fashion. Even though the cabin is about 5 miles out of town the drive was easy to get back and forth between the cabin and town. The only thing I would say is having to climb stairs to get in and out of the cabin. For elderly people this was a challenge- and I’m sure if the weather wasn’t wet/snowpacked, then maybe we could have accessed the other entry on the main level. Other than that this cabin had everything you needed for a comfortable stay!

Excellent space for large groups and families!

We had 12 family members including two preteens and two dogs all from Colorado, Texas and Michigan. Everyone had their own private space if needed. The house is spread out and has everything you may need. The large dining table was great as we celebrated four birthdays. It could not have been a better space. And the view from one of the living room couches was to die for!! Perfect location for sitting and admiring the mountain landscape. My husband and brother-in-law sat there every morning having coffee and catching up on life. The drive into Red River was also quick and easy. And there was plenty of straight-in parking for 5 large vehicles. Everything (appliances) worked great in the house and there were no water pressure issues. Our biggest feat was acclimating to the high altitude and climbing the stairs. We are all aware of what it takes to prepare, so just be mindful before you get there. Instructions for using everything are very well outlined. And I appreciated the easy access code and check-in/check-out procedures! Typed up notes/instructions were posted everywhere were visible to all and very helpful. This is an excellent location and space to spend time with family and friends! Thank you again!!

Our family enjoyed our stay at the cabin, it was quiet and peaceful. The location was close to other activities available in town. Kitchen and dining area were highlights of the cabin, newer appliances and a large table accommodated our family of 10 easily.

Fantastic!

This was our favorite house, by far. The details like the coffee provided, soft sheets, enough dinnerware and serving pieces to feed all of Red River in style, paper goods, spacious rooms…I could go on. But the view and watching the sunrise on the front porch was the best!

Very nice house. Three families, six adults and four kids. Kids loved the upstairs room with four twin beds and their own area to hang out. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking pans and plenty of dishes. We cooked every night for five nights. Would recommend and would stay again.Owners were very nice and promptly replied to every email and text.
