Great location and peaceful

This cabin backs up to the mountain. So you can walk out of the back door and exploration is endless. It was a comfy cabin with plenty of firewood to have a cozy family night by the fire. The hosts were responsive and very helpful. Neighbors were great and far away. Some cabins we have stayed in stay really cold during winter. This cabin had individual heaters in every room. So it stayed comfortable 24/7. Thank you again Carson cabin. Until next time

Red River is my 2nd home!

Red River is so special to my family! My grandmother had a cabin in the Upper Valley when I was a child and I spent many summers there. When I met my husband, I was shocked and elated to find out he also did as a child. Now our children love it as much as we do. Our ultimate goal is to have our own property there to open up to visitors that also love Red River. The Carson Cabin is so cozy and we utilized it to the max. We had a fire and had smores one night, cooked several meals and there was plenty of room for us. The beds were so comfy! I wish I knew what mattresses they were and we had plenty of hot water. The only suggestion I might have is an extra fan for upstairs. Overall we would stay here again and will recommend it to others that like the seclusion and quietness the Upper Valley has to offer!

Beautiful Place to Experience Red River!

We had a great time at Carson Cabin. We have been enjoying Red River as a family for many years and have never stayed in the Upper Valley, Carson Cabin was the first place in the Upper Valley we have ever stayed and it did not disappoint. Cozy Cabin, Clean, Great Location, Beautiful Views, and only 10 - 15 Minutes from Town.

Cozy and quiet stay in the mountains

We had a great time at Carson Cabin. We loved being located in the forest and still having a short drive to town. The cabin is beautifully decorated, cozy, quiet, well stocked and super clean. The online guide provided by the hosts was excellent - I wish all hosts would provide something similar. We’d love to come back in the summer.

WONDERFUL!

We had such a wonderful time. The property is absolutely beautiful and suited our needs perfectly. The neighborhood is quiet, and the views are breathtaking. We had 3 large trucks, trailers, and ATVs, and there was perfect parking for all our vehicles, which was a blessing! (and hard to find!) Access to all the amazing offroad trails was near and easy to access. The short drive to town was just perfect. The cabin is beyond lovely, very homey and welcoming. The owners are very kind and helpful. Truly one of the very best vacation homes we have rented, it was hard to leave! I would highly recommend staying here and hope to return again someday! Thank you so much for having us, we have great memories here.

Our family had a great time in the Red River area, thanks in large part to the relaxing atmosphere of Carson Cabin, the helpful suggestions by the hosts, and the cozy, comfortable connections with nature just far enough outside of town.

Mountain Trail Vacation

Carson Cabin was amazing from start to finish. Exceptionally clean and inviting. The beds were so comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary cookware and dishes. The fireplace was enjoyed each evening after a day on the trails in the Ranger. The host were more than welcoming and were very pleasant to work with. The chipmunks were so precious and were a joy to watch. The bears that made an appearance the last day were the finality of the trip. We are planning another stay with other members of our family in the future to this quaint little cabin. The only drawback is the heart attack staircase from the parking area to the porch. LOL This could just be a case of too old for high altitudes. Overall we give Carson Cabin a 10. Connie and Russell Norrie, Perkins, OK Home of Pistol Pete.

Winter Wonderland

The cabin is located in a very beautiful location. The mountains and beautiful forest make for a very peaceful stay. We will be back in a warmer season to hike and enjoy the birds and wildlife some more. Tip: If you can remember to bring bird seed, you will have an unforgettable evening and morning show each day you are at this beautiful cabin. It is fully furnished and the hosts make sure you are ok and happy. Wonderful and restful which is what we were looking for on this trip. The hints from the hosts for dinner, drinks, lunch and breakfast are spot on. We had an excellent dinner at Brett's Bistro. Great stay.

#WeHeartCarsonCabin

My family celebrated Christmas 2022 at Carson Cabin and WE LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! Every detail was well thought out right from the jump! We were alerted the cabin was ready early and received our special code to the doors. Having a keyless entry was so nice! When we arrived it was CLEAN and warm. Each room had space heaters (INCLUDING THE BATHROOMS!) and the firewood was stocked. The cabin looked exactly like the pictures that we have been looking at for months. We were pleasantly surprised with how well stocked the cabin was. The owners thought of everything, especially in the kitchen. There were plenty of dishes (plastic and glass), mugs, drinking glasses (plastic and glass), pots and pans, can openers, coffeepot, kettle, blenders, and my personal favorite, a CROCKPOT! The appliances were all new and the washer and dryer came in handy since we had spent 4 days with family before we came to the cabin. There was dish soap, laundry detergent, fabric sheets, dishwasher pods, trash bags, a vacuum, a broom, a blow dryer, and even a flat iron! Both bathrooms were nice and clean and there was plenty of closet space for our clothes and luggage! My kids especially loved the Harry Potter closet in the master bedroom. The beds were so comfortable! The sheets were clean and crisp, which we loved. There were plenty of bath towels, hand towels, and wash cloths. We especially loved the comfy blanket in the living room. The cabin had several board games (we played monopoly several times) and a Roku (TV) which we easily logged in to and we’re able to access our Amazon Prime, Netflix and Hulu accounts. The area around the cabin had a nice layer of snow powder which my kids loved. We also enjoyed a campfire! We enjoyed skiing, tubing, exploring town, and food (Capo’s was our favorite). The grocery store was very convenient and well stocked. We ate most of our meals at the cabin during our week stay which saved us a lot of money. We left food in the crockpot on our ski day and were able to come home to a great smelling house. The microwave was perfect for pizza pockets and popcorn. We can’t wait to go back! We look forward to planning a trip to Carson Cabin in the summer 🤗 Thank you for making our Christmas extra special.

Lovely cabin perfectly situated in Red River, NM

Highly recommend this cabin just outside Red River. First, the pictures for this cabin on VRBO are true to the actual cabin. The cabin was neat, and clean. The kitchen is the best stocked kitchen we have experience to date when compared to other cabins. More than enough dinnerware and utensil so you don't have to wash things up after every meal. The kitchen table is situated along a front window that faces a beautiful scene of trees and mountains. We sat on the front porch every morning and enjoyed the experience of trees , mountains and birds. In fact we liked the chairs so much we plan to buy some. Working with the owners was exceptional! They are very responsive and helpful. The check in process is also the best we've had. The location is an ideal jumping point for day hiking. We will most certainly book this cabin again when visiting the area and, again, highly recommend this property.
