Overall one of our favorite places we have stayed in Ruidoso! We frequent often and collectively the whole group said this was a favorite! We can’t wait to come back and stay again! Everything was extremely clean and the owners are quick with responses! Loved the location and all the wildlife!

Lovely Cabin
We had a great stay at the cabin. Very relaxing. The cabin was clean and tidy with everything we needed, in the kitchen, to enjoy our dinners out on the porch. The hummingbirds were a pleasant surprise!
Wild horses, deer, wild turkeys and antelope were frequent visitors.
We would definitely rent this cabin again!

Private retreat
House was great. 5minute drive from town but felt like a secluded cabin. Level entry is a big plus.

Great Place!
Our family (3 young children and 2 adults) loved our stay at this cabin. The property was perfect, very clean, and great for our size family. The deck and views were great and we were close to everything in town. The communication with the hosts was also very good and made our stay very easy. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great house!
We enjoyed our stay! The half covered deck was enjoyed every morning and evening. Even in the rain we could use it. Many deer come through as well. We added a hummingbird feeder for the next guests to enjoy as well. Melissa was easy to contact. A great stay.

Nice place to stay.
The cabin was clean and nice, saw lots of deer and elk.
Just beware of the driveway. Was hard to maneuver with a car. A suv or truck would do much better.
