About this property

Entire place

Deer Lover's Paradise

Enjoy our peaceful retreat in the woods. Sit on the wrap around deck and feed the dozens of deer. Or just enjoy our stunning views. Relax in the hot tub after a day on the slopes. We have a little of everything....privacy but still just a mile from the ski area road and just 5 minutes to the heart of downtown. 15 minutes to Ruidoso Downs.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

What stood out the most was how responsive and helpful our host, Stacy, was throughout our stay. The cabin was exactly as described, and the cozy beds and well‑stocked kitchen made everything feel extra comfortable. Overall, the combination of a great host and a warm, welcoming space really made our stay special.

Beautiful place, but if its snowing prepare yourself. You will need chains to get up drive way. The street leading to the home does not get scraped so makes for leaving almost impassable. Lost electricity, they do have a fireplace and gas stove so thats a plus. But if you have a newborn be prepared to not be able to heat bottes if needed.left our stay early due to weather and no electricity. Owner made a complaint to vrbo that we left it unlocked knowing we couldnt lock it without power, because i made her aware of it before leaving. Over all place is nice.

Very well stocked kitchen, holiday decorations, comfortable beds and nice sheets and towels. Stacey was very responsive. The kids loved the lofts and toys to play with. Our only recommendation would be a coffee table in the living room for games and puzzles, the dinning room table is small and the only place to eat and do games. Overall we would recommend to friends and would stay again. We walked around alto lake trail in the mornings, went ice skating in Ruidoso and went tubing in Cloudcroft. The house is very comfortable and feels like a home. Thanks for a great stay!

We had the most special week in Ruidoso for my son's senior graduation. The Deer Lover's Paradise is fantastic with scenic views! Ms. Stacy is a wonderful host and was very helpful, especially when we asked to stay an extra night. She made the process as seamless possible. Will be staying again!

Serene, Cozy, & Stunning

This cabin was a splendid place for our family to stay! It was gorgeous and cozy! It was VERY clean and the hot tub was a huge plus! Our favorite part was getting to see all the wildlife (deer and horses right outside the cabin). The property feels very secluded, but yet easy to get to anything you want to go to! Thanks for an amazing stay!

Great host, great property!

Stacy is an awesome host, and her property is amazing! It has beautiful views and lots of wildlife. We had so many deer and horses stop by right outside the back door! Our kiddos had so much fun getting up close and feeding them apples. The only minor complaint I have is that there was a lot of dog hair on the couches, living room rug, and bedrooms; besides that, everything was perfect. The house is cozy, well stocked, clean, and comfortably fit my family of 9. Definitely stay here for some unforgettable memories! Thank you, Stacy!
