Wright on the River was PERFECT for our family vacation! The beds were all very comfortable. The kitchen was by far the best we've ever had: everything you could possibly need for family meals (pans, plates, cutlery, etc.) We appreciated the fans available as it does not have AC and they helped keep it cool for our August trip. Our family enjoyed spending time visiting out on the deck and down by the river in the swings... so peaceful! It was also fun watching the hummingbirds swarming the feeders and the deer that visited daily. We love staying in the upper canyon as it is close enough to town to run in for shopping and eating out, but far enough away to enjoy the quiet mountains. Hope to return very soon!!
We so appreciate the great 5 star review! Wright on the River is such a wonderful home! We are so happy you enjoyed it!

Absolutely perfect for our family with small children. Every space was great for being together. Also, for when needed your own space. The only downside was stairs getting into the main house and the path to the river was a tad difficult. Other than that plenty of rooms, bathrooms, amenities, and fantastic veiws in a peaceful environment. Thank you for making our stay memorerable.
Thank you so much for the excellent 5 star review! We are so happy we could provide a great stay for you! See you next time!

We loved the location on the stream and the house was perfect for our family of 10. Plenty of room.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We're so happy your family of 10 had a wonderful time! There's nothing better than hearing that everyone had plenty of room to spread out - no one stuck sleeping in a closet or fighting over the couch! And that stream location really is something special, isn't it? There's just something magical about falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the water.
We'd love to have your crew back anytime. The stream will be here waiting, and we promise there's still plenty of elbow room for everyone!
Thanks again for staying with us!
This place is absolutely beautiful—we would love to return. There were just a few minor details, like some cobwebs, a few walls that could use cleaning, and a shower curtain that might need replacing due to odor. That said, I tend to notice things others might not, so most guests may not even be aware of them. Overall, the setting is stunning, with the river and forest right in the backyard, and the location is fantastic.
The house had plenty of room for a large group and was well-stocked! The location was picture perfect… we spent quite a bit of time on the deck!

This place was great to relax and be with the boys. There was plenty of space and the views were incredible. Hosts/property management was efficient, helpful and kind. Wonderful hospitality.

Thanks so much for the awesome review! Sounds like you guys had the perfect boys weekend - plenty of space to spread out, incredible views to take in, and (we're guessing) some solid bonding time and maybe a few tall tales by the end of it! We're thrilled to hear our team took good care of you. We believe in making sure our guests have everything they need so you can focus on the important stuff... like who's buying the next round or who actually caught the biggest fish (or told the biggest story). Come back anytime - the views will still be incredible, and there's always room for the crew!
Cheers!

Wright on the River was perfect for our family, loved the location outside of town but still within a few minutes drive. Swings by the River were great to relax and enjoy the River. House was very clean and description was accurate. Will definitely stay here again.

We had such a wonderful time in your home! The space was just what we needed (5 adults and 7 kids)! Plenty of space to gather and eat/play games but also space for everyone to not feel crowded. Plenty of couch spaces and beds! Very clean and organized. We’d love to come back again!

Thank you so much for the great review! We love our customers! We are so glad you had a great experience! See you next time.
The house was awesome! The deck is where it’s at. Access to the river is a little steep but easily doable. Easy to get to and very nice on the inside. There was plenty of dishes and cookware. If I had one minor complaint it would be there is no trash dumpster. You have to take it to town. Our whole family loved it and will definitely stay here again!

Thanks so much for the fantastic review! We're thrilled you and your family had such a great time and that the deck became your favorite hangout spot - it really is the star of the show, isn't it? We heard you on the river access! We've listened to feedback and have since added a more gradual path down to the river, so your next visit will be even easier on those legs. No more extreme calf workout required! And it sounds like you found everything you needed in the kitchen to whip up some delicious meals.As for the trash situation - you're absolutely right, and we appreciate you being such a good sport about it! Since this house is outside the Red River jurisdiction, we ask that you dump it in the Red River dumpsters. Think of that trip to town as a bonus scenic drive... or at least that's what we tell ourselves! We can't wait to welcome your family back for another stay. The deck will be waiting for you - and now the river will be calling your name even more!
Our family ranged from 6 months to 101 years old. We had 13 people and more than enough room. Very nice cabin and beautiful scenery. If you are staying in the summer you may want to bring a fan for the upstairs bedroom. If we all go again, I will definitely stay here again.

How wonderful that your family was able to enjoy this beautiful cabin together! Thank you so much for the great 5 star review! Your comfort is important to us, therefore we have taken your suggestion to heart and have added fans to all of the rooms. We look forward to hosting your stay next time!

House had everything we needed. Parking was a little tight for 3 trailers and OHV’s but we made it work. Thankful for the fans in the upstairs bedrooms because it got a little warm during the day. Overall great stay and would return!

Thank you so much! So glad the house had everything you needed and that you made it work with all your gear. Just so you know for next time - there's a large parking area at the house, but if you're bringing multiple trailers, there's also free parking available at the municipal lot in town that might give you a bit more breathing room!
Appreciate the note about the upstairs - those fans definitely come in handy on warmer days. We'd love to have you back anytime!

Wright on the River was a perfect place to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family of 12. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to prepare our meal. The sleeping arrangements made it easy for all to have a separate cozy area. We were concerned that it was located a little ways outside Red River -but that made it special - located in the upper valley! Just beautiful! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

There were 14 of us. Grandma and Grandpa. Our Two sons and their wives and 8 young adult grands. We did have a water well problem which was no one’s fault. They went to lots of trouble to make us comfortable. Wonderful

Thank you so much for this wonderful review and for your patience during the water well issue! I'm so glad we could work together to keep you comfortable - these things are truly beyond anyone's control, but your understanding made all the difference.
I want to assure future guests that the well issue has been promptly fixed and resolved. Hosting 14 family members across three generations sounds absolutely perfect, and I'm thrilled the house worked so well for your crew. Thanks again for being so gracious, and we'd love to welcome your family back anytime!

We loved our fall break in this beautiful cabin! Perfect layout for our family of 11. Five kids ages 8-13 loved the lowest level with bunks, den and full bath. Main level was great for grandparents (2 bedrooms/2 baths), large kitchen, dining & family rm w/FP and parents had the 2 upper level King bedrooms with full bath. Red river below is beautiful and melodic! Def a 5 star visit! ❤️

Happy guests = happy management! Thank you so much for your excellent 5 star review! I enjoyed meeting your husband and am sorry I did not get a chance to meet you! I "heard" you and your Mom were painting beautiful pictures of the fall foliage! I would love to see those! We are so thrilled you enjoyed your stay at beautiful Wright on the River! Y'all come back!

Wright on the River was perfect for our family. Everyone had a place to sleep and all rooms had a bathroom!! There were some minor problems (toilet stopped up and the sink faucet is very loose-it was just an annoyance). They came out and handled the toilet problem quickly. We also had the friendly neighborhood bear coming thru the property everyday and that was a little scary but not much anyone could do about that but keep the kids close by and an alert eye out at all times. We enjoyed our stay and made some great memories!
We had a great vacation here. The property is beautiful and the house is perfect for large groups. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need & everything was very clean. There were a few negatives & I'm not sure we would visit again due to them. The house is advertised as on the river but there wasn't a walkable path. The path to the water is downhill with rocks and was extremely slick. There also is no AC and no ceiling fans in the bedrooms, which was probably the biggest negative for our texas group.

Thank you so much for your review. We value your feedback and your enjoyment is important to us. We have installed some beautiful steps for access to the river! None of the properties in Red River have air conditioning as we enjoy the cooler mountain air! We have added fans to all of the rooms. Thank you again for staying with us!
We had 9 adults and 7 teenagers and the house was a perfect layout for us! The basement held all 7 teens comfortably and kept all their teenage mess contained and out of site from the rest of the house so the adults could enjoy some peace. The way the kitchen and living room are open allowed us to do family game nights with ease for all 16 of us. They even had a decorated Christmas tree which made our present opening feel more homey and special.
They also had a fully stocked kitchen so we could enjoy family meals together (the only thing missing was a can opener but that ended up being a fun teen activity 😂)
We had one minor issue with a shower draining slowly but they were quick to come out and fix it. And when they were leaving, they went above and beyond and dumped our trash.
It’s been a month since we stayed and the teens still talk about wanting to go back and how it was their favorite vacation!

Thank you so much for the 5 star review! We are so thrilled you enjoyed this wonderful cabin! Rest assured, we do have a few can openers for your convenience. See you next time!
Wright on the River had so much to offer. We loved the proximity to the beautiful river. The swings by the river were very relaxing and the fire pit was wonderful for making s’mores. Layout of the house was great for 13 people ages 3weeks to 85 year old. 2 bedrooms on the main level were great for those who didn’t want to do stairs. The beds were very comfortable and the updated bathrooms and kitchen were all in good working condition and well stocked. Red River was only a 10 minute drive. We enjoyed shopping and eating at Sundance and the burger place near the candy store. Some got fishing license at Sitzmans. The favorite fishing spot was at Cimarron Canyon. We enjoyed a hike to Middle Fork Lake and walked the neighborhood several times. We enjoyed seeing the wildlife as well. We saw deer, elk and a bear. The large wrap around deck with 2 large picnic tables and other deck chairs were used daily. We have taken many summer family trips to Colorado but Red River, NM was awesome and much closer to Amarillo. We will be back!
