A lovely home. The king bed was comfortable, but the other beds not so much. Kitchen was pretty well stocked for cooking meals. Really enjoyed the hummingbirds on the back porch. Of course the best aspect of this house is the location on the river. Kept the 6 year old entertained for hours and we even caught a couple of fish!

Serene

I grew up going to Red River and have stayed in many different places. This cabin is my favorite. If you don’t mind being outside of town, which is only about 10 minutes out, this is the perfect place. It’s breathtaking, serene and fit our family of 5 (6 including our dog). The drive is gorgeous. The backyard is private, even with neighbors around, you don’t really see others. It’s very calm and peaceful without much traffic, which is an advantage of staying outside the town. I highly recommend.

Ski vacation

Awesome cabin with a great location. We loved being a little further up the mountain and away from town. The cabin had plenty of room for our family of five. We had another family of four come over one night to watch football and cook burgers and it never felt crowded. I would highly recommend staying at "Rocky Top Rio", you will not be disappointed!

Overall

The property is excellent. The only downside was the check in. We are traveling from South Texas, roughly 14 hours. The check time is 03:00 PM. That requires us to use up 2 days of our vacation. Basically we have to spend one night in Amarillo then drive a short day in Red River. The we have most of that day waiting on the Key at 03:00 and then finding the property and getting moved in. Check in should be done in the early morning so we aren't wasting a full day. ( something similar to the check out time which is 10:00 AM) We should also have been informed the upper river is not stocked with fish.

Great family experience

Loved the property and the cabin .. My only issue is the property is best for 6 people and not 8.. The pull out couch is in the utility room with the water heater so it’s not very quiet and the pull out bed is extremely uncomfortable for 2 people .. besides the utility room/ bedroom it is a great place to stay ..

This home is in a beautiful spot on the river. We have stayed here previously and it was in great condition. On this trip it was not cleaned properly and several things were not in working order. All the beds were very uncomfortable.
