Riverside Lodge & Cabins, Red River

we booked two rooms.. party of 8... rooms adjoined and had a full kitchen. We ate in alot. Rooms are old and rustic, clean bathrooms, decent beds - need new pillows always warm, kitchen well stocked with utensils dishwasher. Does not have a laundry room would be my only complaint. Was near a ski lift but it was never operational while we were there. Will definetly go back had six kids and they all had a blast at the ski resort. Lodge is in middle of town was fun to walk around during the day and enjoy the scenery and the shops. Perfect place for a family like us that had never skied before.

We stayed at the Riverside without having a reservation or any prior information about the Lodge. Passing through town on our Harleys, we chose it based purely on the condition and appearance from the street. We were given room 2C, which is an upstairs King suite complete with a full kitchen and a porch, . My spouse and I were impressed the minute we opened the door. It was clean, spacious and charming. We found it blissfully quiet as there are no rented rooms below. Unfortunately, we'd only checked in for that one night and rode to Santa Fe the next day. A day later when we were heading back north, we'd decided that because we'd enjoyed our stay at the Riverside so much that we called and requested the exact same room (2C) for another night before ending our vacation.

First off, the people who complain about this venue need to get a life. It was more than adequate for the money spent. We were in cabin 19, which is a stones throw to the copper chair lift. Italian restaurant and Sundance mexican restaraunt were great. Again, dont pay any mind to the whiners and complainers from these reviews because they are lost and dead wrong. We met the owners and they were great. We will go back to the Riverside every year.

We have loved the accomidations for years but when they tell you that you are not worth their time I guess you can say there will never be another time you will see our organization going back. We used to love the fact that we always new we had a place to stay for the Memorial Weekend Motorcycle Ralley, but now we have to go outside of Red River just to spend time in your town. Our organization will write a letter to the Chamber of Commerce regarding the action taken upon us this year.

Well it was nice overall although our room had a loft upstairs that was un accesable due to firecodes, and it wad scary cuz there was no way up there and there was like a set up room????? Only 20 channels. One plus was free wireless internet, Staff was Odd but nice, not to friendly but not mean.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Riverside and found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The location is wonderful. The grounds are very well kept and there is a really neat BBQ area and club house for grilling. The hot tub was an asset. The rooms were very spacious and very clean.

concrete beds, shower handles broken, rundown. being asked to use a faded, stained wash cloth for my makeup removal.

I have stayed at the Riverside Lodge somewhere between 20 and 30 times over the last 30 years so therefore, I would say the I am an expert on this property. First of all, book as early as you can. The Riverside is probably the most popular place to stay in town and the choice rooms tend to book up pretty quick. Over the years, there have been many additions to the cabins so some are newer than others. I prefer a free standing cabin as opposed to a lodge type room so I don't have to listen to my upstairs neighbors walk around. My favorite 2 bedroom single story cabins are 16, 17, and 7. The two story condo units are much newer and nicer but more expensive, but I think that they may be worth the extra money. One of the bedrooms on all of the two story units has a balcony that overlooks the mountains to the north. It's very nice to sit out and watch deer and elk in the mornings and evenings. Most if not all cabins have a covered porch with old timey metal lawn chairs so you can sit out and enjoy the fresh air. The building furthest to the east was once called the "New Lodge". I don't know if they still call it that or not, but it was built in the early to mid 80's. These are some of the newer nicer rooms, but they are all in one building, and that kind of kills the atmosphere for me. When I go to the mountains I want to stay in a cabin...not a hotel. The property is well kept and has some nice features. A hot tub, Horseshoes, shuffleboard, a party room, and a playground for small children are all centrally located. Now for the bad. The towels are pretty small and thin. I assume that this is done on purpose to keep you from stealing them, but you can barely get dried off with one. From year to year, there are different people running the desk. I have for the most part found them to be courteous, but I have had my issues with them on occasion. I remind them that I have spent thousands of dollars over the years staying there, and that I expect more from them and that normally resolves the issue. As one of the reviewers mentioned, I have seen some things that didn't work in my rooms before. I didn't let it spoil my trip though, and if it was something important or dangerous, I would nicely ask them to do something about it and they normally would take care of it. Most of the properties in Red River book up every week so they have what I would call a captive audience. You may stay here and love it or you may stay here and wish you hadn't. The problem as I see it is that boycotting one or the other doesn't do any good. They are going to be full regardless. I hope you find my review informative.

HERE IS A LAUNDRY LIST OF MY RECENT 5 DAY STAY!! 1. bedroom window lock broken. 2. bed lamp broken and shock hazard. 3. closet door broken. 4. rooms very dim due to low wattage bulbs. 5. room make-up a. no bath mat for 3 of 5 days b. sink was not cleaned for 4 days c. waste containers not emptied 3 of 5 days 6. torn linoluem on floor 7.one bath tub knob missing 8. Floor squeeks like haunted house. etc.--etc.---etc. No wonder NO REFUNDS are givin for early checkouts.

My husband and I stayed at this property when they still had the 2 bedroom condos along the river behind the lodge and cabins. Very nice place, however I found the people running the place were very unfriendly and down right rude! Since then they have sold the condos and are still as rude as ever. What a shame to have a place you would like to return to but won't due to the poor treatment you receive from the staff!
