Everything was very clean and easy to use. the space was cozy and the cabin vibes were exactly what we were looking for. we did not get to spend a ton of time at the home due to planned activities, which we were disappointed in because it was such a good space. Would definitely stay again. There were 4 beds to sleep 8 people, and then probably 1 person per couch space to fit 10 people, but we brought an air mattress so that only 1 person needed to use a couch.

Gorgeous CLEAN cabin with breathtaking views!

Donald’s cabin is in a gorgeous location that offers privacy and a little seclusion. Incredibly clean and well stocked cabin and the fantastic beds will make it hard to get yourself out and about because they are so comfortable. Views are amazing and the outdoor sitting area is stocked for roasting smores and enjoying each others company. This place is so amazing that the hardest part was going off to enjoy the sights and activities of Ruidoso because this cabin will make you want to stay in!

Great views and location

The cabin is well located on the outskirts of Ruidoso. Its an easy drive to recreational areas of Ski Apache and the nearby snow tubing place.Pros - The main floor and upper floor look new and upgraded. The deck has great views. Cons - The basement could use a slight face lift. The final climb to the front of the garage is tricky and could be outlined in the welcome package instructions. Donald was reachable throughout and a great host.

AMAZING!! We have stayed in several properties in Alto/Ruidoso over the years and this was the absolute best. The views are absolutely stunning! Communication with owner was like no other. I really felt like he cared that we had the best time ever! He even took the time to mail my sons air pods he left behind. House is super clean, well stocked and has a great layout and location!

Wonderful weekend

We loved our stay at this cabin, it was clean (which is a must for me), location was perfect for a family tired of the city we got what we needed a quiet relaxing weekend. We had no issues what so ever. Property manager reached out to us before arriving making sure we knew everything we needed to know and kept checking on us through out our stay. We had no issues at all cabin is just as pictures show but much better in real life everything was so clean and perfect. Highly recommend this cabin, it’s definitely on top of our list now and can’t wait to go back.

Beautiful getaway for the New Year

The home is beautiful and was a great family getaway. The views are fantastic, the neighborhood is quiet, and the home is not too far from downtown Ruiodoso. The owner always kept in touch to make sure our stay was perfect and even sent weather updates when a snow storm was coming. We will definitely visit again.

The perfect combination of breath taking vistas with first rate accommodations. Additionally, the owner is great.

Comfortable Home to Relax and Explore Ruidoso and Alto

Our family most enjoyed the different outdoor areas at the house to eat, play, swing, read, relax. There was always one of them in the shade which is nice in the summer. The house was very clean and well stocked with nice amenities (soft PB towels, comfortable beds, nice soaps / detergents, etc). The location has wonderful views of the mountains all around, which is why we chose the house.

Quiet seclusion

As the elder (and therefore financier) of our Father’s Day get away we wanted a nice place to retreat from the summer heat and enjoy quality family time. That Is what we found...but much more was enjoyed. The owners have kept this property in pristine condition. The property is very clean, well stocked, and Has plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. A major bonus is the owner actually checked on us throughout the two day stay to make sure all was well. This weekend get away was very relaxing mainly because of this fantastic property!

Fabulous, start to finish!

Where it begin?! This beautiful home, set high on a hill with open 180+ degree views to Sierra Blanca from the main living area was perfect for our active multi-generational family of 9, ranging in age from 12-76. Walking in the front door on arrival there was a collective "WOW" as we stood in the great room, taking in views of the mountains as well as our accommodations. The scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is simply spectacular, and the interior is equally impressive: beautifully yet comfortably furnished, and immaculately clean. Wood floors and granite countertops gleamed. The kitchen is so well stocked utensil-wise for cooking, we lacked for nothing. The pantry, amazingly, is equally well stocked--a fact we weren't aware of before making our grocery run. Be sure to check it before you shop! Likewise the bathrooms, from bandaids to shampoo to lotion (much needed in the dry climate) to multiple rolls of toilet paper and plush towels--ours with our initial on them even! (Ha--we share a common surname initial with the owners.) The kids young and old enjoyed the foosball table. There were decks of cards, poker chips, games for the kids and not so young kids. The large flat screen TVs never even got turned on! Though we looked forward to the fire pit and s'mores, it was a bit cold for evening sitting for this group, half of whom had come from FL. Cold didn't hamper the evening star gazing though, with an incredible array of visible stars, and even some shooting stars. Wildlife was plentiful with elk and deer visible daily grazing below us, and shed antlers discovered daily in our hikes from the house. I could go on and on (in fact have), but to sum it up, it was a perfect getaway for our group. As a topper though, one of our group spent his entire career in the hospitality business, and Donald Munoz, the owner, would be tops in that industry. He's friendly, attentive and readily available to answer any questions quickly, as well as offer suggestions on things to do. It's obvious that he genuinely cares about his guests. His written explanations of the operation of everything from fireplace to heating system was spot on and a tremendous help in settling in comfortably. We all awoke the morning after our departure sad not to be in "our" house still, looking out at "our" mountains. It was a terrific week and could not have been a better getaway for our Christmas get-together!
