Very nice house. Three families, six adults and four kids. Kids loved the upstairs room with four twin beds and their own area to hang out. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking pans and plenty of dishes. We cooked every night for five nights. Would recommend and would stay again.Owners were very nice and promptly replied to every email and text.

Perfect for Larger Family Vacation
This beautiful home is perfect for a larger family group. It was absolutely beautiful, with so many little details and amenities that we appreciated. Kitchen fully stocked with a large family in mind. We only had six people in our group, but were still very comfortable with the extra room. The location was perfect to take in the breathtaking color changes this fall.

Red River Getaway
Our stay at Native Elk Cabin was picturesque! The cabin is situated along the Aspen Valley and is surrounded by gorgeous views of the mountains and pine trees. The property had everything our guests needed that made the stay comfortable and pleasant. The property is huge and has plenty of gathering spaces to included a large dining table. Our trip couldn’t have gone better! We will be coming back! Thank you!

Our family of 15 from Texas had a wonderful stay at your cabin in Red River. Especially enjoyed our evenings at the cabin cooking and enjoying time on the front porch. One evening before dark enjoyed watching over 30 Elk grazing in the field in front of the house.

Fantastic
This was without a doubt one of the best experiences that I’ve had with renting a property. It was very clean and was exactly as advertised. It had all the supplies that we needed and was so comfortable for our whole family. It allowed us to focus on having a great time and not worrying about our accommodations. I will definitely recommend this to everyone and will use this again in the future.

Perfect for Celebrating my 50th Birthday!
The property was amazing, the location was beautiful, and the home accommodated all of us perfectly. We had everything we needed for the weekend to host a relatively large group. We were able to enjoy both inside the cabin and the fire pit area outside. Everyone loved every bit of it. The only issue we thought we might have was with parking, namely to park an RV and accommodate the vehicles that joined us for our gathering but we were able to situate all vehicles on the property. One thing to consider is that a flight of stairs is required to navigate to load/unload items, as the entrance is upstairs. There are also stairs to access the upper bedroom, loft, and sitting area so this should be considered for older people or those who have any kind of issue with stairs. Our group navigated this part of it okay, but it rained quite a bit while there, so some sort of slip resistance on the external stairs would be warranted. I never got a chance to write in the guest book, as the entire weekend was busy! I highly recommend this for a large group or large family. Everyone loved it!

We had a great time. The cabin was excellent and everything worked and very clean. We met the neighbors next door that live there in the summer. Very nice people from Waco, Texas. I enjoyed watching my grandchildren play and bond with their cousins out in the yard. We would definitely rent this cabin again.

Beyond all Expectations
Our family spend Thanksgiving week in this beautiful cabin! It is so spacious and has every amenity you could possibly want. Exceptionally clean and very well maintained. I have rented numerous VRBO’s in the past and I have to say this was by far the best yet. Loved watching the deer play on the hill right behind the cabin. Lots of different sitting areas with great views. I can’t say enough about this cabin and I definitely plan to rent it again. Highly recommend this property!! Cathy

Oktoberfest Getaway
We hosted a booth at Red River's Oktoberfest and needed a place for everyone to stay. Something quiet enough for the grandparents, but close enough to town that we could shuttle supplies to and from the event. The cabin was PERFECT. We sat on the porch with coffee admiring the changing colors and listening to nature. It felt like we were hours from the next town even though we were 10 minutes away. The drive was easy and beautiful so we didn't mind that either. The cabin itself was exactly what we needed. Big enough for everyone to have their own retreats but cozy enough to spend time together. And the fireplaces were the icing on the cake. We're hoping to book again soon!

A fav in Red River
We love staying at this location! The best part is that they have a HUGE table where everyone in the family can sit together to eat. I haven’t been able to find that often. The deck is also a favorite. We love watching for humming birds, taking a hike around the back of the house or sending kids to the patio room to play games. The host is always quick to respond to any questions I have.
