Buckner Bunkhouse exceeded all our expectations as 12 of us gathered for our annual first cousins reunion along with two of our matriarchs aged 97! The house is well arranged for a large group and so well appointed. The kitchen literally had everything you could possibly need! Everything was immaculate and very comfortable from the living room furniture to the beds. We have already decided to stay here again next year! Also, Brittani was a delight to work with, always prompt to reply and accommodating in every way. You cannot go wrong staying in the lovely place.

Big Birthday Celebration Get Away

Our family planned a Ruidoso get away with a large group celebrating our matriarch’s 90th birthday. We wanted a place to cook and eat meals together and hang out for visiting and playing games. Buckner Bunkhouse was perfect in every way and exceeded our expectations. Everyone enjoyed the amenities and felt comfortable and at home there. The kids especially enjoyed the game room. Great place for entertaining a large group. Cooking was a breeze because the kitchen was so well stocked. Brittani was always responsive to questions. The fireplace added a cozy factor! Again, our stay at Buckner Bunkhouse was perfection. We will be back.expectations

Large Group House Stay

Our stay at Buckner House was absolutely fantastic! This cozy, spacious ranch-style home was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our host was incredibly responsive and provided excellent local recommendations, which made our time in Ruidoso even more enjoyable. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and utensils, and the bathrooms were well-equipped with all the essentials. We highly recommend this listing to anyone looking for the perfect home away from home!”

Mom's 90th Birthday weekend

We had stayed at the Buckner house 5 years ago to celebrate my mom's 85th birthday. So when her 90th came up she wanted to come back and was so excited to know the house was available. There were 17 of us and this house was so accommodating. Brittani was great about letting us check in a little early. I could not have asked for a better place celebrate my mother'birthday in

Such a great place for family group

We loved our stay here!! There were 18 of us including one in a wheelchair. House could not have been set up any better for large group and a wheelchair. We had everything we needed with privacy for adults. While Ruidoso was struggling after the fire and floods we found it to still be beautiful and all activities that we enjoy were open! We have already booked for next summer!
