Perfect Holiday Getaway!

My family stayed here for five days over the Christmas break. We couldn't have had a better time. The weather was beautiful, the cabin was cozy, and the town (Red River) was like a scene from a Thomas Kincaide photo. We arrived on Saturday afternoon to fresh snow and mountain air. The cabin was just a short scenic drive from Red River and easy to find in the quaint town of Questa. Though contemporary it had a rustic feel with plenty of comfortable seating and beds for the 7 adults, 3 teenagers, and 2 children in our party. There was plenty of fire wood to keep us warm and enjoy as we sipped cocoa by one of the two fireplaces. The living area was comfortable for all to sit and watch Christmas movies on the big screen. We ate out at some of the wonderful restaraunts (Texas Red's and Shotgun Willie's) but we also used the ktichen and dining area several times to cook for the whole gang and we found ample accomodations for all our needs in the cabin. The view of the countryside in the early mornings and the panoramic sunsets in the evenings was amazing and the gurgling of the creek added a serene soundtrack by the light of the silvery moon. Due to the way the cabins are situated, we never even noticed the family staying at the other cabin even though it is on the same property and the privacy of the wooden fence around the perimeter of the property made us feel like we were in a secluded valley in the middle of nowhere. We visited Taos a couple of times and the drive was short and easy. We loved the cabin, the towns, and the activities (shopping, dining, skiing, and snowmobiling) and we had such a great time we are already planning to come back next year (maybe sooner!) If you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and stay in an amazing cabin the will take you back to a more peaceful time then this is the place to make your memories.
