PARKING: (1 - 2 vehicles) During the summer, there is one parking spot in the driveway and another at the street level.

We do provide snow removal in the winter months and do our very best to maintain it, but with unpredictable high winds throughout the year, snow drifts are common.

Winter Vacay
Cabin was cute, views were beautiful and the extremely steep driveway was fun to slide down. HUGE CONS: Snow packed Stairs were extremely steep to haul luggage, firewood and ice chest down; cabin was difficult to regulate temp.

The Sound Drawa You In
This property sits on the red river and you can hear the wrestling of the water all day and night. It was the highlight of our stay. The cabin is lovely, and the location is very peaceful and away from town, but not too far. My only suggestion is to get there before dark because it is difficult to find the cabin in the dark and know where to park we would definitely stay here again.

Lovely Cabin
We had a lovely time at the Claudia and Jason's cabin. They are amazing hosts and were quick to respond to any questions we had while there!
We loved eating meals in the kitchen and looking out on the deck to see the little chipmunks playing. The sound of Red River was delightful, and we enjoyed afternoons and evenings lounging around on the deck and looking out at the mountains. It's a beautiful place. It was restful and a nice reprieve from the heat where we live. There are lots of wonderful hiking trails nearby too!

Great cabin
Cute cabin with river access. We loved fishing in the river! Lots of wildlife, including a bear sighting. The kids loved it! Easy to get to, but parking was tricky without 4wheel drive. Very quiet neighborhood.

Spring Break Ski Trip
The house worked out great for our family of four (two kids ages 8 and 5). Nice updated kitchen and old wood burning stove with plenty of wood to burn that was great to use in the evenings. Only slight issue was it snowed over 20 inches in two days so you had to have a 4x4 vehicle to get up and down from the house but I assume that's the case with most of the places outside of town. Overall great stay
