Recent Rio Grande National Forest guest reviews

Clean place and great location. The large game room is a real bonus.
Kyle G. | Mar 2026
We enjoyed this house- 2 adults, 2 teen boys. It's a good thing the boys are fit- the staircase is STEEP! The layout was fantastic for us. Very clean, and beds were comfortable. The fireplace warmed the house adequately, although the room with 2 twins upstairs had trouble getting heat (no plug in that room for the extra heater provided). We couldn't get the TV in the primary bedroom to work. Kitchen was a bit small but had mostly all the things we needed. Loved the main room where we all could hang out together in the evenings. Would stay again!
