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.
