The Lodge At Red River Ranch

We loved our stay here. The location is so serene. The view off our balcony is amazing with the red rocks. We also took advantage of the hot tub. There is a nice fire in their fireplace going every night and the place is so cozy. I only wish they had fridges in the rooms. The staff is very nice and accommodating.

When we take a vacation, we try to find lodging that harmonizes with the scenery and culture that surrounds it. If successful, our overnight stay becomes a seamless part of our total experience. If you are looking for something similar while you explore Capital Reefs National Park, this is your place. This lodge sits on a several thousand acre ranch, with bison grazing on one side and a river slowly meandering along the red cliffs on the other side. We decided to spend the better part of a day just hanging out here, because it was so relaxing and serene. In the afternoon, we took an hour long hike along one of the private trails along the river. We saw huge trout by the dozens in the sandy shallows, golden eagles soaring above the red rocks, and swallows dipping in and out of the tall grass marshes. Charlene was a gracious hostess, and every morning she served up delicious breakfasts in the lodge restaurant. The rooms are not large, but they are wonderfully decorated in "ranch style" furniture and artwork. The large lobby is welcoming in a rustic way, and I concluded several evenings by warming myself in front of the wood fire.

One of the best- if not THE best lodging on our USA trip. Worth the extra for a balcony facing the red cliff- stunning in the morning light. Very good breakfast and top service all round. Wish we'd stayed longer.

Charlene, Grace, and the rest of the family are second to none! Beautiful family-run lodging, where you can relax like you're home! Thanks, Grace and Charlene for a wonderful night stay! See you again! Guy and Susan

One of the coolest places I've ever stayed. The maximalist decor and construction creates a truly immersive "Old West" experience, and I will be dreaming about the tranquil green orchards against the backdrop of fiery red cliffs until I return in the Fall.
