Felt like home
Great cabin, just as listed, very clean. Wonderful place to stay, felt secluded which was what we were looking for but still very close to town. The place has pretty much everything you need and the host was very attentive

Amazing!!
Cabin is amazing and Alison was great about communicating and letting us know about all the deer and elk that come by. She was nice enough to even let us check in earlier before our check in time grateful for that as well. Definitely was a good view and beautiful area.

Perfect and affordable
Cabin is very nice with everything you need. Weather was perfect! Location is just outside of town with other cabins around but spread out. Saw elk everywhere and deer every day. Great hiking trails near by. It was exactly what we were hoping for! We already want to go back.

Holiday Retreat
We had an awesome time at the cabin! Much needed time for relaxing and reconnecting with the college kids. We had everything we needed! Super close to town but still away and in the mountains.

Great Cabin in a great location
The cabin is really nice with an awesome deck. Deer wander right by. The location puts you right in the Lincoln National Forest. Trees obscure view of neighboring cabins and creates a very peaceful experience. That said, access to Ruidoso's down town shops and restaurants is just minutes away.
The owners are responsive and helpful with offers of help and local recommendations.

Just great!
We've stayed in the area a number of times over the past several years. This cottage was as described, clean, comfortable, and pleasant. We spent a good bit of time on the large deck, looking out into the trees and across to the mountain peak.
Alison was very responsive and even offered recreational and restaurant input!
The only thing that would have made it more perfect would have been a longer range view; but what we had was very enjoyable.

Perfect cabin for a family
We stayed at this cabin for a couple of days and absolutely loved it. From booking to check in was flawless. The cabin itself was located in a great area but not too far to get into town. The patio was the perfect setting for morning coffee and relaxation. The loft in the cabin was so great for my kids and toys for them to play with during our downtime. All tvs had access to different streaming services…plus you didn’t have to try and login with your own accounts and try to remember passwords lol! The hostess was so wonderful and gave recommendations from restaurants to entertainment. The cabin itself was so great, clean and cute. We will definitely be staying again. Overall we had a fantastic experience and stay!
