I really like the location. The lodge is pretty much right in the center of town within easy walking distance of everything. They are currently doing renovations but the unit we stayed in was nicely accommodated. I also like that they're a pet friendly location which made it very nice for us to bring our pups along.

This property was under going renovations when we stayed there. Our room was clean and comfortable. The only thing I did not care for was the paint fumes, it was a little too much for me but my husband didn't notice. We would definitely stay there again

We arrived without reservations and I needed beds for 6 adults. The staff set us up with adjoining rooms that were more than sufficient. The rooms were freshly remodeled and all appliances were like new. I was so pleased with the cleanliness of the entire property. The staff was friendly and efficient. I would give them 6 stars if I could. It will be my place to stay when visiting Red River N.M. We loved our stay!!!
