View was great with enough privacy. Very clean. Hot tub was perfect. The only thing that would have made it better is if it had a king size bed in the master bedroom. Other than that, it was perfect. We had an amazing, relaxing weekend. Kudos to the owners and property management company.

House was really nice. Clean and accurately stocked. Hot tub was perfect. Owners didn't overdose it on chlorine that would immediately turn you into an itchy prune. Special treat was the abundant wildlife. Wild horses and elk was special. Nice get away.

Great stay

The house was very clean. The beds were actually pretty comfortable, which I'm picky. The only complaint I have was the cookewear desperately needs to be replaced. The pans were severely scratched up. Other than that, it was great. The view of the mountain in the evening while in the hot tub was breathtaking. Overall we would definitely stay here again.

Great views, no functional pot bellied stove inside

This was a good first time cabin in the Ruidoso area for our family to spend Thanksgiving. We got snow and discovered the electric pot bellied stove shown in the pictures is merely for show as it does nothing to provide warmth to the living area. The heater did fine, but the stove was viewed as ambiance only, no real heat source. The cabin was clean, well appointed and very functional. The location was great to get to groceries or any other location in town within minutes. I would certainly recommend it, as we saw deer twice a day feed off the corn provided by the owners, and the bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms clean.

Lovely cabin

The cabin is absolutely lovely. The terrain made for very difficult navigation with the rain for my husband with two lame knees and for our doodle dogs. When we got to the bottom of the drive to walk our pups there were aggressive dogs running loose each day. Also skunk sightings on the property both morning and night each day. My recommendation would be not to take pets and to ensure uou are in good physical shape if you plan to fully enjoy the location. Again everything gets 5 stars except neighborhood.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities, communication
Disliked: Amenities
If you have any knee, hip or balance issues the high incline and railway tie steps are very steep and difficult to traverse. The towels were very smelly, like mildew from an uncleaned washer. Disgusting and need replaced. The company also askes you to wash/put up dishes, clean counter tops, haul off your trash to the dumpster 1/4 mile away, when there is a green metal trash bin right outside the kitchen window this is very inconvenient for guests upon departure. Also ridiculous to have guests do all of this when you've paid a cleaning fee! Everything, mirrors, shower heads are way too high. I am 5'3 and could not see the top of my head in the mirror in the front bathroom. My husband and I travel at least a dozen times a year and always use vacation rentals and have never been asked to do all of this. Also, zero amenities such as shampoo, body wash etc. Every place we have ever rented has provided these items. You also have to call when you leave, otherwise you'll be charged different amounts based on the time. Crazy!! Just stay elsewhere where you'll get more for you money with so much less hassle.

The management company is wonderful. I messed up on the dates (a day early 🤪 and they managed to get us a place for the night. Also somehow locked my key inside and they came promptly and let me in. Thank you! The place is great except its a long steep haul bringing luggage up and down. That is the only negative.

Great Mountain Views

I am 74 yrs old and have had lumbar back fusion so ii’m not real flexible! The climb from where you park up the gravel areas was difficult! From the pictures online We didn’t realize it was that much of an incline. Wouldn’t recommend this house for seniors. House is nice inside and decorated Santa Fe Style. Beds are very comfortable. Great views from wrap around deck with furniture.
