We do not permit the use of air mattresses, cots, or other temporary sleeping arrangements in the units. Bringing more than the occupancy allows will result in possible removal from the property with forfeiture of all monies paid.

Proper Transportation: During the winter season, you may require snow chains or 4-wheel drive. Please prepare accordingly or you may find you and your guests without access to transportation. Red River Real Estate makes every effort to ensure accessibility to each home; however, any attempt does not forfeit the need for snow chains or 4 wheel drive.

If any RV parking is found at any of our homes, you will be asked to remove the RV immediately. Please help us comply with the town of Red River by parking any RV’s at the proper locations.

This may include the sale of a property, a property no longer offered in our rental options, mechanical failures, or frozen water lines to mention a few. If a situation occurs that makes the home uninhabitable Red River Real Estate reserves the right to move a guest to an unoccupied property. This does not result in a credit or a refund.
