About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Amazing views for families with hot tub, fire pit, griddle, & more!

Wishing Well Lodge is a rustic mountain paradise. Here, you can relax, eat well, and embark on adventures. We’d love to share it with you.

PRIME LOCATION: The lodge sits on 1 acre in Red River’s Upper Valley, a rural residential area outside town. The property provides plenty of space without feeling completely isolated. From the wrap-around porch or hot tub, you’ll have unobstructed views of pine trees, the Milky Way, and majestic mountains, including Wheeler Peak--the highest spot in New Mexico. 

Everyone is welcome, but we cater to the following: 

SNOW BUNNIES: We are located 5 miles from Red River ski resort, 45 minutes from Angel Fire, and 1 hour from Taos Ski Valley. The lodge caters to your ski gear, including a ski rack, ample snow gear storage, and a glove/boot dryer!

CHILDREN: If traveling with kids at the Wishing Well Lodge, you won’t need a U-Haul to bring along all of their stuff! We provide ample accommodations, gear, and activities for all ages. The large loft is a kid’s retreat with a secret hideout, board games, and an entertainment center (Roku, DVDs, Wii). We have a crib, a highchair for babies and toddlers, and a jogging stroller suitable for evening strolls down peaceful gravel roads.

DOGS: Our home welcomes well-behaved dogs (max of 2) of all shapes and sizes. We provide a large kennel, bedding, food, bowls, leashes, poo bags, and more! The backyard allows ample space for fetch to wear your pup out before retiring for the evening. (Dog fee = $125 per stay, non-refundable) 

FOODIES: You can prepare amazing meals inside or outside when not dining out in Red River. The small kitchen is stocked with quality gear, essentials, and more! After starting your day with fresh-ground, French-pressed coffee, you can cook breakfast on an indoor or outdoor griddle. 

OFF-ROADERS: Our property has generous pull through gravel parking for all your vehicles (Jeeps, ATVs, OHVs, snowmobiles, hovercraft, etc.) and trailers of all sizes. 

More house information: 

HOUSE LAYOUT: The living room, kitchen, and loft area are open for lounging and easy mingling. The main level has two bedrooms, one full bathroom. An additional full bathroom is in the laundry/mudroom in a detached garage.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS: The house sleeps 8-10 beds with two private bedrooms (1 king and 1 queen bed) on the main floor and a kid-friendly loft with two bunk beds (2 full-size beds and 2 single beds). Also, a bassinet and a portable crib are available for infants and toddlers.
 
HEATING: The main lodge is heated primarily by a propane stove or corn stove in the living room, heating the living space and loft. The bedrooms have electric baseboard heaters with adjustable thermostats--capped at a maximum of 72 F.

EXTRA STUFF: Picnic gear, blankets, towels, fans, hairdryer, gadget chargers, and more. 

!!! IMPORTANT NOTES/REQUIREMENTS!!!

GARBAGE REMOVAL: Due to our lodge's rural, rustic nature, we do not have trash service. Guests are required to remove all garbage & deliver it to dumpsters 2-4 miles away. We provide ample trash sacks.

DISHES BY HAND: Guests must clean and put away all kitchenware & dishes. There is no dishwashing machine. This helps us keep the cleaning fee down.

DOGS: max of 2 allowed with a $125 non-refundable fee per stay paid a few days prior to check-in.

NOT A PARTY HOUSE: The lodge is in a rural, residential area. We want to maintain the area's peacefulness. Thus, guests must:

1) Abide by our max guest limits at ALL times and not have more people on the property than the claimed number of guests.

2) Do Not play loud music outside at any time and do not be louder outdoors than conversation-level after 9 PM.

3) Not use bright outdoor (porch) lighting after 9 PM beyond brief use as needed.

The exterior of our house is MONITORED BY AN OUTDOOR SECURITY CAMERA in part, to ensure these rules are followed. If these rules are violated, guests will be subject to immediate eviction and/or a $500 fine.

Filthy Cabin
Don’t let the online photos fool you… they are very deceiving. The host was a complete rude bully! We arrived and the cabin was filthy, bed linens were dirty, fridge was filthy with mice droppings! I notified the host and she could’ve cared less and her response pretty much that the cabin was 60 years old and that I should expect it. I was traveling with my elderly parents and 3 small children after our 4 hour drive I had to clean entire cabin myself! Luckily I brought my own cleaning supplies and dish soap because none of that was supplied. There was no toilet paper so we had to go by some from the store. The fire pit area is surrounded by weeds. I requested a refund on at least the cleaning fee and host told me I was very bold to request such a thing! This is the most unprofessional host I’ve ever had to deal with! No compassion what so ever!! Don’t waste your money on this dump!

Winter Getaway
Andi, the host is awesome! We loved our stay, super relaxing and beautiful views. King bed was so comfy. Only recommendation I have is towel & rug replacements in bathroom and more new, bigger couch pillows, as we spent a lot of time relaxing in living room due to snowfall week before our arrival. We do plan on staying here again & recommending to friends.

Basic needs cover for a good price point LONG checkout list
Property is very spacious. It had a large crate and other dog items along with some children items in loft. We had neither on the trip but it is thoughtful. Location isn’t too far from town and the area is very nice. It is located close to a number of atv trails. Which was also nice! This not a luxury house and could use some updating. Also note the thermostats were locked at a low temp. We had to use the wall heater in living room or corn stove. However we didn’t have any issues with keeping warm and it snowed 3 days while we were there. My only issues was the lengthy checkout list. We left super early in the morning. This list was much longer than normal. For example we had to haul all the trash to a dumpster in town the morning we left or had we used the outside fire pit, we would have had to vacuum and clean the ashes out. The list wasn’t too bad just a LOT of extras not normally associated with leaving. I really Felt some of the items on the list should have been part of the property management cleanup team. Otherwise, the house had everything you would need and property manager was very responsive.

Perfect views
I've never stayed in a property that had such beautiful views out of every window. The whole family absolutely loved this place. It was a short drive to anything we possibly needed (including trails). We were there a little over a week ago but the children are still talking about the trip and how much fun it was. We did have a minor issue with the lodge but it was resolved within minutes by the owners. They are wonderful people and stopped at nothing to ensure we enjoyed our stay and had all we needed. We can't wait to come stay here again!

Spectacular Views and Stargazing
We had a great time. Property was in a beautiful location, perfect for a family and set up to host a dog as well. Everything was exactly as described, but the fall foliage surrounding the property and gazing at the stars at night from around the campfire defy description! So cozy and fun for our family of four and small dog. Convenient QR codes were located throughout the home to simplify the procedures. We enjoyed it very much. Highly recommend!
