We had a girls' weekend getaway to Ruidoso in August, and we loved the Apple Tree cottage and the Upper Canyon area. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything a home cook needs, so that was a pleasant surprise. We baked, made soup, and lots of snacks and had every pan and utensil we needed. The beds were moderately comfortable, but the smaller bedroom has a metal framed bed that is very noisy (needs a little WD 40). The porch and living areas are fantastically cozy. The only complaint we have is that the cabin needs a deep clean. Rustic, yes! Spider webs, dust, dirty vents, and baseboards, not so much. We would definitely stay again but would call ahead and ask for a deep clean before our visit.
