Nice cabin, but needs some TLC
We have stayed at this property twice. Once in 2017 and now again in 2023. The location of the cabin is great and the space that it provides is great for families, but the cabin is in dire need of some updates. The carpet is stained and has not been replaced since our stay in 2017. The upper bedroom ceiling fans do not work so during the day the upstairs is very hot and uncomfortable. The tv in the downstairs bedroom was only able to get one channel. We also noticed that it wasn’t cleaned very well. The pans had crusted food on them and the carpet didn’t seem to have been vacuumed well. Overall considering the cost of this cabin we would not stay again.

Beautiful riverside property
This property had everything we needed (and more) for a wonderful trip to Red River with our family and dog. Check in was extremely easy. Communication with owner/ manager was the best I have encountered with a VRBO property to date. River access was wonderful. We greatly enjoyed our stay.

I loved this trip. We skied in Red River & then enjoyed downtime in this beautiful cabin. My family loved the big TVs & fast internet. I loved how well appointed this cabin is (from trash bags, kitchen supplies, to bathroom supplies). The bedding was high end & felt great! Everything was in good working order. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The location was perfect. The home was clean, very well stocked, and the kids really enjoyed the game room and hot tub. The beds were comfy and plenty pillows & blankets were in every room. The homeowner helped us out with some local to-do’s and was very communicative with us. When we come back to Red River, we will definitely stay at this home again. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us and being so welcoming.

Nice property
The property itself is clean and nice but there was dog hair in the room with the bunk beds. A new pool table should be invested in with the amount of money people are paying to stay here also and the beds are very very uncomfortable. I received no emails or text messages on how to check in I kept having to call to get any information. This property needs to have better communication but thanks Devin to all the help we did receive!

Nice place to stay
The map description of where the house is located in relation to Taos Ski Valley is misleading, which is what led us to rent this property. It was a nice, clean, comfortable house and we had everything we needed. There is no trash pickup so we had to load our trash on our luggage to take it to a dumpster in town. It would’ve been nice to have another way to dispose of the trash besides that.

Christmas Vacation
We booked this property for a ski trip with two families. The day we were to check in the property had no electric. We were not notified until the day of check in while driving several hours from our home. The electric at the rented property had been out all week. During the time we were in Red River we were unable to stay at the property. The available property we stayed in did not meet the same property description and clearly not the PRICE we paid for that week. We had to move multiples nights as the properties we stayed in were already booked. The other family had to stay a much lesser quality property. We were not able to stay together. We were told we would get a refund from the property manager but shortly after this conversation the property manager quit responding to us. No refund was received. VRBO reached out to the manager multiple times with no response. I would be very cautious in booking this property !!! Needless to say our vacation stay/property was terrible.

Wonderful Home
We enjoyed a family gathering for Thanksgiving. The house was stocked with everything we needed. We entered the home to find a Christmas tree and cookies to welcome us. The only recommendation I would make is that house rule include the requirement of no hot tubbing after 9 pm. We found this out after arrival. We had a wonderful time and will definitely recommend this home!

Beautiful house and location
We enjoyed our stay very much, although the icemaker in the kitchen fridge wasn't working, we had no gas key for the fireplace, we couldn't find the blue ray DVR, and only one jet was working in the hot tube. Repairmen for the hot tub did come while we were there, though. The drier apparently needs a new heating element. I see these as maintenance issues. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful location and the house is otherwise most accommodating.

Red River Chalet
The property was lovely and perfect for our family trip needs! Communication was excellent with the property owner/manager. Being able to walk down to the river using a private stairway was a treat during the summer months as well. If there was one area for improvement, and this is digging deep, it would be some of the casement windows won’t close when using the hand cranks. We loved our stay there and definitely will recommend to others!!!

About the host

Hosted by Diane Maloney

Host profile image
We are both from Dallas but have lived in Red River for several years, my husband has been here 30 years. We were both Red River ski instructors. Our son, his wife and our adorable grandchildren live in Paradise, Texas. My son is in the Air Force. Our daughter is attending the University of Colorado. Go Buffs! Enjoy our Mountain Home! Go Buffs!

Why they chose this property

Having both been in Red River real estate for many years we have had the opportunity to see so many beautiful houses but as soon as we visited the Smokey River Chalet, as guests at a party, we fell in love. As soon as it went on the market we knew we had to figure out a way to purchase this wonderful home. When you have the windows open you can listen to the peaceful sound of the river and when you are in the living/kitchen the back wall of windows make you feel like you are in a treehouse. I have never seen such gorgeous furnishings, the previous owner owned a high end furniture store in Dallas and he picked out the best and most expensive to furnish the house.

What makes this property unique

It is hard to beat the sights and sounds of the river and mountains from this home. You will also really love the open floor plan. It is perfect for family and entertaining
