Very comfortable , cozy , well stocked
Nice place to stay. We did find that the recliners were nice but too low & not very comfortable, & we are not tall people. Also the camodes are very low. But we were happy overall with our stay. It was quite & peaceful, which is the main thing we wanted. Appreciated the cleanness, & the beds were comfortable.Thankyou.

Peaceful stay
The property is in an ideal location. Well stocked, the house has a large bedroom with a king bed and another with 2 queens so it would be great for a family or friends. The kitchen is large and well equipped so you can enjoy your time watching the wildlife. It was fun to watch the elk, deer, and even wild horses grazing in the yard. It is a shame what the Ruidoso flood has done to the city and some damage in this neighborhood, but it did not affect our stay. We would rent again and hope to next year.

Excellent Location/Fantastic Home
I absolutely adored the retro style home and decor. This house took me back to my youth and the times I used to visit in the 80’s! Great location, very clean, well stocked and loved the back patio on the Rio. Thank you for the stay my boys and I loved it.

Cute cabin, amazing location!
Our little family loved this cute cabin! It has been renovated since the pictures listed so that was a nice treat. We loved seeing all of the wildlife (deer, turkeys, and horses!). The river view was just gorgeous! We had a user error with the shower but the owner was QUICK to respond. We will be back! This is such a gem!

CLEANLINESS
Amazing river view but the cabin needs a lot of improvement in cleanliness. You can tell the maid doesn't move anything to clean, I'm not even talking about furniture, but behind the trash cans, the window sills, the stove, the oven, the microwave were fealty!! but the worst part were the beds, they had smelly sheets and pillows, even the blanket we got from the closet was dirty, we have to go to walmart to get us something new. Also there's a huge window in the kitchen with no blinds. The view was awesome but that should be optional, since we had no Privacy and the kitchen felt cold.

A quick treat
The deck on the river sells it. The house is fine, nice floor plan, older decor, nice to have a washer/dryer, the kitchen table is great for games, the family room is nice with a great picture window view out the back,tvs need updating but that’s not really why you are here. The deck on the river is the sweet spot. It’s a nice rental with a wonderful view.

This is the second time that we stay here. I was a bit disappointed by the way the rental was, not very clean but I cleaned up with what cleaning supplies were there. I would go back if I knew that the place will be clean. We did have fun watching the deer come by and the fireplace on it was relaxing.

Phenomenal location on the River
This is our second visit and the owners excel in making your visit superb. I had the opportunity to talk first hand with Barb prior to last years visit. The location to town makes this rental a prime choice but the best are the animals - /wildlife you can view as you sit on the newer deck. The house rests on at least a half to full acre giving you the experience of the woods without houses crammed together. The price is a great plus too. Definitely consider this home you won’t regret it!!!

Excellent cabin in the mountains
We loved staying here. The river in the backyard is great and serene. The cabin is cozy and spacious. It was well equipped and it even had a wood burning fireplace. The location is also close to everything, but just away to not feel in the middle of all the action.

Very underwhelming! Read before renting!
Check-in process was easy and accurate. Location is very convenient. Surroundings are relaxing and scenic. Interior is not clean at all. Bathrooms are very old and outdated. Showers and tubs need to be disinfected and completely replaced. Furnishings aren’t anything I wanted to come into contact with my body! Upon arrival, checked the beds and found plenty of body hair in one of the smaller beds. Luckily the king size was clean. To put it mildly we left a day early because we didn’t want to spend the last entire day inside the cabin due to weather! Overpriced for the condition. Sorry, but I was very disappointed!
