Just got back from a stay at Riverside Lodge & Cabins in Red River and I can’t say enough good things about it! The cabins are super cozy, clean, and well taken care of, with just the right mix of comfort and that mountain lodge vibe. Waking up right on the river was amazing—coffee in hand, sitting outside listening to the water, it doesn’t get much better than that. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, the kind of people who make you feel at home right away. They had great tips on places to eat and things to do around town too, which was really helpful. Plus, you’re close enough to walk to everything in Red River, but still tucked away enough that it feels peaceful and private. It was such a relaxing trip—between the sound of the river, the mountain views, and the cozy cabin, it’s the kind of place you just don’t want to leave. If you’re heading to Red River, I definitely recommend Riverside Lodge & Cabins. We’ll for sure be going back!

My husband and our children had been on the road all day, the owner of the lodge was very nice and put us in a 3 bedroom!! We were very pleased with how clean it was, fresh towels and bedding, built in shampoo conditioner and body wash! The price was amazing! We liked it so much we are planning to come back with our kids for Christmas!!!

Not a bad room but not great. Needed to keep their parking lot and walkways cleared as It was very icy. It Needs updated but plenty of room and clean. Price was very good considering alot of other places was booked up. Great location would probably stay here again if needed.

We come to Riverside every year to stay a week. My parents stay for two weeks during that time. We enjoy the Rustic feel of the Cabins and the beautiful scenery outside of our kitchen window and all of outside. The office staff is kind and accommodating. Upgrades are being made, and we appreciate all of the hard work being done. We have been coming for over 35 years to Riverside. Over 53 years to Red River. We will continue to enjoy our stay at Riverside for years to come.

The owners are lovely and very sweet. They gave me a great deal for two nights and didn't hesitate when I asked to stay one more night. Great location and very mountain like feel to it. Very good vibe to it all. After 30 years of away, this place was amazing. Thank you !!
