Comfortable and Clean in Town

Loved this lil place on the river! Our home away from home. Perfect location on west edge of town, walking distance to lifts, Der Market and restaurants. Quiet hideaway even during busy music fest weekend. Older property that needs a lil attention to upper balconies but very clean. Great for couples or families. Hope RiverJohn is available next time we are in Red River.

Clean and Cozy

Very nice and cozy. Parking is very tight especially if there are others staying at the other 2 condos connected. Needs a few kitchen items such as hot pads and a large frying pan. We loved the back patio with access to the river behind the house.

Such an adorable little cabin!

The location was so perfect! The large living room windows gave us a fabulous view of the fishing ponds and mountains, the deck in the back was perfect for our morning workout, the kitchen was very well equiped with everything we needed to do a little cooking, and to be honest, I couldn't find a single thing wrong with this property. Our group consisted of myself and 2 adult daughters and 1 infant. The two bedrooms worked perfectly. We'll definitely rent this property again!

Perfect for what we needed

The location was perfect. We walked to the lifts and the town. only drove one time, to the Steakhouse at the end of town. mostly because the walk back would have been too cold. This house great for a family of four and dog. Plenty of fire wood was provided and the home was very clean. back porch is great and peaceful. backed up to the river and listening to it babble is wonderful background noise. Plenty of room for a family.Mattresses need some updating, not comfortable as my wife and I had a hard time sleeping.This is odd but, the toilets are tiny. I am not a large person and pretty average in size. hard time fitting everything into the toilet when sitting.the recliners in the living room are not working properly, and needing to be replaced. Seating for the living room should be increased, home has sleeping for 8 but not seating for 8.lastly, would recommend to have the wooden shelves removed from the bathroom and replaced with less porous material. we could see years of rings from many things on the shelves. It is really the only place to put things in the bathroom. Or, you could sand them and seall them to be wiped easily.great house for a family.

Property was nice, clean and in a great location. It had most everything we needed in the kitchen. Beds were comfortable. Could use some basic updates. Example -Shower head in bunk room needs replacing, handle came off of the oven and we had to repair it, front panel on dishwasher kept popping off, sliding doors would not lock. Internet and wifi were unreliable.

Family Vacation

Very nice place to stay. Our family of 5 was there for a week. Would stay here again. The 4 stars for property cleanliness mainly had to do with the outside of the property. The tree/ bush in the back needs to be trimmed. We walked the side of the house a lot, lots of weeds. But wouldn't keep me from booking again. The grill outside also had no propane, but we did not bring that to the property management's attention either.

Inaccurate Pictures

Good location, beautiful views, great towels, responsive management. However, we chose this property based entirely on the picture of an enclosed patio/deck where we could let our dog out. But it was not enclosed or private. We were told by neighbors that it had not been enclosed for over 10 years but the picture had never been updated. The footrests on the two recliners in the living room would not retract without straddling them to get up and pushing hard from the front - a real hazard for falling. One of the showers was terrible and the tub did not drain well. The kitchen light fixture was so dirty that the glass looked opaque.

The home was well used and in need of some TLC Red river was hot. The home has no AC, no box fans to pull air in from outside, no screen on front door and the back door screen was ripped because the screen door does not open correctly. There may be very little insects but the doors being open means the critters can sleep with you. I had my tools with me and if I had a motor for the dryer, I could have repaired it myself in an hour. The wood rot by the bathtub would not get so bad if you would stay up with the caulking. We did not cook in the kitchen but coffee, hot tea, and microwaved leftovers. cleaning the dishware was a challenge in a dishwasher that would fall out when you load it. That is probably why the door is broken. This is about what I was expecting so I was not let down and we had a great time.

Wonderful stay. Only small issue was that some of the pots and utensils weren’t clean/seemed very old and run down. Loved seeing the deer and ducks every morning and evening and this is a great, easy walk right to town. Will definitely stay again!
