Lodging in Red River, NM

Yes — we have several options that work well for groups and families. Our 2- and 3-bedroom cabins, plus Elkhorn (sleeps up to 6–8), and adjoining unit combos (e.g. Units 23/24 or 30/31), are ideal for large parties. Some units can sleep as many as eight guests with additional fees for extra guests. We are also excited to offer the Elkhorn Hacienda, a beautiful two-story riverside home. With recent updates and redecorating, this home is a great choice for larger groups.

Yes — Copper King Lodge is a true ski-in, ski-out lodging in Red River, located directly at the base of the Copper Chair Lift.

Ski season is one of the busiest times of year in Red River, so we recommend booking as early as possible — especially if you’re planning around holidays, events, or school breaks. Winter rates rise from winter off-season into peak season — and holiday periods like spring break and Christmas often require multiple-night minimums. We recommend booking several months ahead if you’re looking for river‑front options, cabin configurations, or extended stays during high-demand times. The earlier you reserve, the more options you’ll have when it comes to cabin choice and stay length.

Yes — our riverside cabins are just a few steps from the water. The Elkhorn Cabin sits right on the riverbank, offering front-row views and peaceful sounds of the stream. We’re also excited to introduce the Hacienda soon — another private, riverside option for future stays.

Yes — we offer on-site parking for guests at no additional charge. Our lot is just steps from the lodge, so unloading gear or luggage is easy.

All Copper King Lodge rentals include free Wi-Fi, outdoor seating, and access to all lodge amenities — including our riverside hot tub, backyard picnic area, grills, fire pit, and easy river access for fishing. It’s the kind of setup that makes relaxing feel easy.

Copper King Lodge offers something rare: ski-in, ski-out access in the heart of town, right at the base of the lift. Guests love our location on the river, the welcoming atmosphere, and the convenience of being just steps from the slopes, shops, and trailheads. It’s that perfect mix of access, comfort, and local charm that keeps visitors coming back year after year.

We offer a variety of options including smaller, 2-person efficiency rooms that come with an efficiency kitchen, and motel units that feature a microfridge. Full kitchens and fireplaces can be found in our 1-3 bedroom cabin-style units, the historic Elkhorn cabin, and the Elkhorn Hacienda. Select river-front versions are available too. Rates vary depending on unit size, river views, and season.

Our reviews speak for themselves — guests love the location, the views, the ease of ski-in, ski-out access, and the welcoming, laid-back atmosphere. Many return year after year, saying it feels like a home away from home.
