RIVER IN YOUR FRONT YARD!/Suspended Fireplace/Perfect for Families & Groups/PETS

Got cabin fever? Come to the mountains of the Red River upper valley, on the river, 8 minutes from town!

This fun, A-frame, knotty pine cabin is a “home of your own” on a little over half an acre of land bordering the Red River. It is located five miles from the town of Red River and is close to dramatic hikes, skiing, snow-boarding, and fabulous trout fishing IN YOUR OWN BACK YARD! This large, three-story cabin is stylistically outfitted. It has two large master bedrooms on the second floor, one with a king bed and the other with a queen. Both masters offer balconies which open up to gorgeous views of the mountains or river. There is a large sleeping loft on the third floor with high ceilings, a third balcony, great light, a futon, two twin beds and one queen bed.

The downstairs open concept, gathering area surrounds a tremendous, one-of-a-kind floating gas-log fireplace, perfect for warming up in the winter or on a cool summer night. The reading room also functions as an extra sleeping area with a sofa bed. There is a 2nd sleeper sofa in the living room. The large kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils, and appliances. The large dining table accommodates 8-10 people. There are 2 stools at the kitchen bar as well. The over-sized, sunken tub in the downstairs bath is perfect for relaxing muscles after hiking the mountains or a day on the slopes.

You’ll ascend to the bedrooms on the large, metal spiral staircase standing in the center of the cabin. Please watch your young kiddos as they climb the stairs. There are 18” gaps between each vertical bar on that staircase. Concerned guests are welcome to bring baby gates to block the 3 entrances to the stairs on the different levels.

All towels the bathrooms and and bedding for the comfy beds are provided. You’ll enjoy free WIFI at the cabin, as well at many of the shops and restaurants in town. We have satellite TVs, but the house is more about old fashioned fun with playing cards, over 30 board games, and plenty of movies. There is an outdoor fire pit, charcoal grill, picnic area, and plenty of night sky for star gazing. You can nap, hike, watch the hummingbirds, and just relax. The community center in town has free daily activities in summer, lots of fun for the entire family. The towns of Angel Fire, Taos, and Eagle Nest are no more than 30-60 minutes away.

If you're interested in skiing, here are the drive times to each of the resorts:

Red River Ski Valley: 13 mins
Angel Fire Ski Valley: 47 mins
Taos Ski Valley: 1 hour and 10 mins

When approaching the cabin, you will see majestic Wheeler Peak, rising 13,000 feet in front of you. The drive descends to the cabin which is situated by the river and nestled among the trees. You will love the privacy and quiet. During the winter, you will want to park at the top of the drive or bring an AWD or 4WD vehicle to park next to the cabin. The drive is always plowed during the winter.

Great cabin
This is a great cabin for a family or group. The floor plan allows you to spread out and the bottom floor serves as a good gathering place. The cabin has a babbling brook running along the back of the property. We really enjoyed the fire pit and ability to enjoy the outdoors. There are plenty of kitchen supplies, games, etc as described in the posting. The host is easy to communicate with.

Beautiful property
The Texas Tipi was a great getaway for our family. The property is beautiful! The river in the backyard is so relaxing, and it allowed our family to relax and also get some fishing in. The cabin is very spacious and fully stocked. It's secluded but also only a 10 minute drive from Main Street. We can't wait to stay at this property again!!

Summer Vacation
Pros near river, you can see and hear the constant sound of the river flowing. Con the house immediately next to the property is trashy junk all around it, eye sore to look at when outside. Very hot in the house, no AC. Even with windows open still stuffy. The third floor never cooled down our 4 night stay. No one was able to sleep up there. The showers are subpar, plastic set in showers, very plain. Low water pressure. Septic tank buzzer went off at 11pm, just when we got settled in bed. It’s loud! The couches seemed very dusty. Just didn’t feel clean and comfortable.

Nice A Frame by a River
This was a fun stay for my family and I. The River right outside was nice and it was fun to fish and just go outside and enjoy it. I do wish there were some blinds in the house for privacy and for the sun in the morning. There was a cabinet that almost fell out of the wall, but I let the property manager know and she said she would have her handy man fix it. There were some crumbs left around the kitchen counter when we got there, but overall it was very clean. The stairs are cool, but definitely want to be cautious on them since no railing. We enjoyed that we got Buzzer tv so we could watch old game shows!

FANTASTIC cabin!
We had a wonderful stay at the Texas Tipi. It was very cozy and comfortable with everything you could possibly need. It is so relaxing by the river and fire pit. I love that it's a bit remote but still an easy 10 minute drive into town. Lisa is super responsive, though we didn't have any issues at all. Everything was just as described, and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We will be back next fall!

Perfect Stay on the River
The Texas Tipi was the perfect getaway to the mountains of Red River. The house has tons of personality and lots of room for games, meals and movies. We spent hours on the front porch, listening to the river and watching the hummingbirds. Lisa was a fantastic hostess and was extremely responsive to questions and provided many recommendations. 5 STARS for the Texas Tipi!

Would live here if I could!
We rented this property along with the modern cabin near by (same lovely owner) for a very small wedding with a very reasonable event fee. A creek runs behind this property and there is a lovely grass area next to it where you can just sit and listen to nature - this is where we had our ceremony. The fireplace in the a-frame looked so amazing we swore to return in the winter when it’s fireplace weather! So worth every penny.

THE BEST A-FRAME ON THE RIVER!!!!
Our family had a wonderful week-long stay at the Texas Tipi. It was such a great location, just steps away from the river! The owner keeps the cabin in great condition and trust me, it is VERY comfortable! If you ever have any questions, Lisa is such an amazing owner and is quick to respond to anything. We used the cabin as our base camp for a week, and after doing daily activities in the mountains, the Tipi was so nice to come to at the end of a tiring day. 5 out of 5 stars! We will definitely be back!!!
