Ruidoso Weekend

The property is very nice, clean, and well appointed. The location is amazing. It is very small but it worked for my husband and myself. It would be a tight fit for a family. The tv in the back bedroom wasn’t working but other than that, everything was great. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Great cabin!

Was hesitant on booking this place, but we ended up being very pleased! I would say it is a little small for 4 people. It would’ve been better if we had small kids, 2 teenagers & 2 adults was a little crammed for us lol! The location was the best part!! Also thankful for the portable heater in the bathroom! Host would answer questions almost immediately! Everything was nicely cleaned, bed was comfortable, and the kitchen had everything you need! Bathroom door needs to be fixed, it doesn’t latch/lock. Overall, a great stay and I would book again!

Lovely little cabin! It has a rustic feel but is well furnished with fresh kitchen, bath, flooring, etc. so that it was comfortable and not rustic in its amenities. My husband and I enjoyed making the short walk into the town of Ruidoso and then being able to return to our "cabin in the woods" for the evening. We hope to come back.

Good stay at the fun house

It was a great place to stay but the house is on a slight angle. We called it the fun house because of this. It isn’t a significant thing but I think the bed could be leveled. I also wish there were fans to circulate the air. That than that it was a very nice place that made it easy to access midtown.

Beautiful cabin

We love to cook and this beautifully remodeled, quaint little cabin had everything we needed. It was really clean and I am picky about that, so I was very pleased. The hot tub was a big plus for us and we saw Elk or Deer everyday, likely because it so close to the water! I highly recommend this little casita!

Great Cabin, Great Location

This cabin is just right for a couple. It's location is ideal, just off the main street in Ruidoso within walking distance to many shops and restaurants, but still being in a quiet, secluded setting. The cabin is very well appointed and very comfortable. We were especially impressed with the kitchen. I has everything (and I mean everything) you need to prepare your own meals. The internet and abundance of smart TVs was also a real plus. Overall, this cabin is a great place to get away into the mountains and enjoy the Ruidoso area.

Perfect! So pretty! Adorable decor, attention to detail, comfortable, and close to town!

We stayed here as a short getaway from the Texas heat for Father’s Day weekend. It was absolute gem! Our kids (14, 12, 6, and 1 year old) loved the bunk beds, TV’s, comfy couch bed, nearby shops, and patio. My husband and I were thankful for the nice sheets, towels, remote controlled A/C, our own TV, Keurig, and rustic/glam decor. We definitely want to return and will recommend this amazing little getaway to our friends and family! You will absolutely love this place!! Thank you for having us- we enjoyed every minute!
