We picked Red River Outdoors at random as a place we found online that was within a reasonable driving distance from Michigan where I could take my 16 year old daugther and her friends for a little nature and a little adventure. The girls had a fantastic time with the guided climing. Craig and Wendy were both extremely helpful, professional and it's apparent that they take pride in their business and property. The area was beautiful. The cabin was clean and quaint. The accomodations were well thought out. Service was spectacular and I can't think of a single complaint. It was ideal and affordable for the type of experience we were looking for. All four 16 year old girls had a blast and that is no small accomplishment! We also loved Miguel's pizza and the Rockhouse for dinners out.

Wendy and Craig were very pleasant and professional to deal with and were excellent at communicating and responding promptly. The cabin appeared just as it had been described. It was rustic and cozy, and the beds were comfortable. The cabin was easily warmed by gas fireplace and space heaters, and cooled by fans and AC. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, plates, etc... but I would have appreciated spices and salt and pepper being available! It was a tight fit for 4 people, so I wouldn't recommend trying to squeeze 6 people in. The couch/futon needs to be replaced and is uncomfortable to sit on. More comfortable chairs (and getting rid of the TV) in the "family" room area would be nice. You can hear everything that happens in the bathroom in the rest of the cabin, so make sure you only invite family or good friends to stay with you here! If the bathroom could be insulated/sound proofed or a fan installed, that would make a big difference. That being said, there was plenty of hot water for 4 showers back to back. The cabin has a lovely front porch, but it unfortunately looks out at the road (and you hear road noise inside the cabin). I had hoped for a more remote, mountain cabin experience. You are also expected to remove your own trash and take to a dumpster on Wendy and Craig's property which is about 10 minutes north, which while not a big deal, was slightly annoying when you are running late for the airport. One of the great perks of the cabin is access to the restricted climbing area Torrent Falls. It was nice to feel like you had your own "private" climbing spot for a day or two, but the climbs have not been maintained. Several of the bolts and anchors (especially on the 5.11 wall) are severely rusted and need to be replaced for climber safety. The hiking trail to the falls that goes all the way around the holler and follows the cliffs was beautiful. Overall I would recommend it if you are not bothered by those minor drawbacks I mentioned above.
