This place was excellent. From the booking to checking out, everything was so easy. If you want a peaceful relaxing getaway this is your cabin. It’s a perfect place to sit in the hot tube and watch wildlife wander through. It was a decent distance from any neighbors so I was able to take my dog out for potty breaks without disturbing anyone. The cabin was in excellent condition and perfectly clean. I will keep this place in my mind for future stays

A niche of heaven
Absolutely loved the size, setting and overall experience of this cabin! There are no properties directly next door. To the right is land, behind is a pretty ravine and empty lots across the street. The covered porch is ideal; lit with soft lights at night. The rooms are comfortable and have simple and beautiful decor. Love the open floor plan of the kitchen into the living room. The recent upgrades show themselves off and add to the overall comfort and flow of the space. We loved the hot tub! Would only recommend a little privacy fencing added to porch. Only other feedback would be to bring extra blankets and firewood to enjoy your time in this lovely space!

Easy process
The check in process was super easy and timely. The house was perfect for our weekend. Close to everything we went to but far enough to not be in middle of everyone. Could have used a large skillet but that’s just if you’re a cook like me.

A comfortable, cute and cozy cabin away from the crowded midtown area located in a quiet neighborhood. The kitchen was stocked with all the basic cooking essentials. A short five minute drive to Perk Canyon Trailhead. The hot tub was perfect after a long day of hiking.

Great trip!
We had a bit of a bumpy start but the property managers were prompt and addressed all the issues even late into the night. The house is perfect for kids! Our 1 year old did laps in the house without us having to worry about him getting into anything. Perfect location to all the down town shops. SOOOOOOO clean! If you're staying for an extended time be sure to bring your kitchen LOL. They have a few pans but mixing spoons and other cooking utensils are pretty limited. We will definitely be back again.

We enjoyed our stay. Very clean and well taken care of inside. We loved sitting on the front porch and enjoying the cool air. The couple of things that need addressing are, the pans need replacing? Everything sticks even with spray? Cookie sheets, just throw those rusty things away. The parking was small but ok for I car. . So this place is just a shade away from being perfect,

Good but not Great!!
Overall the cabin is a good place to stay. Location is great and the deck and hot tub were very enjoyable. We were disappointed with the condition of the carpets in the bedrooms and the fact that we found dirty silverware and cooking utensils in the drawers. While we enjoyed our weekend in Ruidoso, we most likely will not stay in this cabin again.

Perfect location
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The location of the property in relation to town was amazing! The cabin has the convenience and closeness of town but also is somewhat secluded in the trees and mountain side. While the cabin does have neighbors, there is enough distance between each cabin. It is not the most up to date cabin, but everything is functioning and serves its purpose. We would recommend to others, and would stay here again when in the area.

Quiet getaway
A charming, quiet cabin nestled above traffic and away from daily headaches. Management was prompt to response to all inquiries and needs. And as typical of most rentals, this one shows some wear and tear, but not enough to discourage a return visit. Only real complaint was the apparent abuse former tenants employed on the skillets and pans. We particularly enjoyed the cozy sun room with fireplace.
