Red River Hot Springs

We arrived early, were allowed to go to our room (although, we were prepared to wait). Were given the biggest room in the hotel (5 beds), there were only 3 of us, my husband, myself and our grandson. The rooms are mediocre, you can see the age in them. The plug in the bathroom did not work, had to use a plug by the front door to charge phones AND curl my hair. The pool was full (and I mean FULL) of algae, my grandson and I cleaned some of it out while he swam. Got up at 5 the next morning, my husband waited until 6 to try to get some coffee. The office was locked, one of the owners came to the door and basically said it was too early and the coffee was not on yet. A couple of hours later, I took my g-son to swim and was told that the coffee was on. I grabbed close to the last bit from the pot, was told they would start another so I text my husband that coffee was on. Half an hour later, he came for coffee... there was NOT a fresh pot and he accepted the dregs from the bottom (with grounds). Before we left, about an hour later, he went for more coffee with his personal coffee cup and was met with "you're not going to FILL that up, are you". Mind you, it was NOT a large cup. To top it off, we were billed a tip on our final bill that put our bill OVER $300! (They tipped themselves over $30 with absolutely NO services provided!) All that for 1 night, for 3 people and I didn't even have a second cup of coffee! We did go down the road for breakfast (to another establishment) and another cup of coffee. I had been to Red River Hot Springs many times over the years, as had my family (my parents honeymooned there in the 50's). But this will be my LAST stay there which makes me sad...

We were looking for a high mountain rustic 2 night getaway for Valentine's Day. Their location is awesome however management is very poor. When we arrived the parking lot and driveway needed plowed along w/ the steps being shoveled into the resort. The women's bathroom needed soap n 1 stall needed toilet paper.(Was not replaced during our stay) The public showers were frozen up, the neat wooden tubs had gross floating debree. (This was NOT minerals) Beside having to shovel our own path to the cabin and having to make our own bed, (mattress and box spring was 1980's technology) Our cabin had propane heat- which my husband woke with a heavy head. He checked his oxygen level with his watch and it was low. He had a red face when he woke. This was dangerous, he had carbon monoxide poisoning. We decided to check out for our safety, asked for a refund for the second night and was denied. She argued with us about the heater working just fine, when we mentioned there was no carbon monoxide detector (we deliberately searched for one) she was adamant there was one. This "resort" has real potential however needs management and a lot of maintenance. Sadly we will not be going back.

This is such a lovely spot to unplug for a few days. My family and I got a cabin and while they are a bit rustic it suited our needs wonderfully. The people were sweet and honest with us about a loft being warmer due to the heat rising in the cabin before we ever booked it which I very much appreciate! The pool and tubs were great to soak in, no disappointments. I can’t speak for the food since we brought our own but it smelled amazing when they were serving it in the lobby. No cell service for us and no internet at the cabins provided the much wanted getaway we were looking for! Everything was just what we hoped for. We will definitely stay again🩷

Red River Hot Springs has been one of my favorite places since I was a kid. Now, since my husband and I have a cabin nearby as well, it’s one of our kid’s favorite places to visit. We’ve stayed in the cabins, swam for the day lots, and even gone to a wedding up there. The most recent owners make soap, candles and all sorts of cool little things. If you’re looking for a nice place to stay, with hardly any people around most of the time, or a place to take the family swimming/soak in the hot tubs, Red River Hot Springs is place you’ll want to check out at least once in your life.

The owners were really amazing. My boyfriend and I wanted to book here for our anniversary and they let us know they accidentally overbooked and helped us find other accommodations, but still let us use their hot springs. The lounge was nice and warm, and the tubs were hot enough for me and the pool was the perfect temp for my boyfriend. The place is set in the woods which are just beautiful and we really liked that it was in the middle of nowhere. I highly recommend staying here, I know we'll be back.
