We loved the location. In the trees with nature, but so close to town to walk. We had the best time and the house was beautiful with everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again.

The house is lovey and spacious. It was so nice to have king beds and a private bathroom in each bedroom. Kitchen had everything we needed. The porches were wonderful. We enjoyed watching the deer, elk, and wild horses. Very walkable location in midtown.

Great Location!

New and convenient to everything Ruidoso has to offer. Perfect for families. Just as described… new and stocked with the essentials! Beds were comfy! Had extra soft blankets all over the house for those crisp cool nights! Definitely a great location with easy access to everything! About the only thing we could say is if you are a bath person it’s a small tub… but still works for those needs! Swanky and beautiful cabin! Would definitely rent again!
