Wonderful Stay for Christmas!
Our experience at Casita Mistica during Christmas 2023 was truly delightful! The cottage was just like the charming photos. What we loved: - super easy check in/check out - the cottage was extremely clean upon arrival - the decorated Christmas tree was a lovely surprise - plenty of pellets for the pellet stove to keep us warm during our rental period - property was impressive - including the gated security - the cottage and property exuded 100% New Mexican charm - all linens, towels etc were of high quality and comfortable - the outside space was amazing, fenced in backyard was perfect for our pup - washer and dryer in the cottage - walking trails are amazing! - high quality soap/shampoo/conditioners provided Things we'd have loved to have, but also knew were not included when booking: - dishwasher - more updated cooking pots/pans - king bed in master - deadbolt lock that didn't have key access for extra security for guests We would book again in a heartbeat! Such a charming and clean property.

Too Rustic for Price
My husband, daughter and I were welcomed by host/property manager and their dog, Chester. There was a nice Christmas tree as we walked in and the house had nice decor. The WiFi was out for 2 of the 4 days we were there, but host/property manager explained that someone was coming to fix it and they did. After looking closer, there were quite a few damaged/not working household items, such as one of the shower heads in master bath (we ended up having to share our daughter’s bathroom because of that), hot and cold water in master bath sink were on the wrong side, couple of broken windows and then a few other non-essential items. We didn’t think much of it. Thought that it was part of the rustic charm until we were making the long drive home and Pedro (host/property manager) sends us a bill for $250 for a hole in a painting that we did not put there. Saw the hole, but dismissed it as though it was just part of the charm. I wrote him and told him that we did not damage the painting and then felt it necessary to list all the other items that we noticed were damaged so that we wouldn’t be accused of anything hence forth. He never responded to me after that, so I ended up calling VRBO parent company explaining the situation and it was resolved quickly without having to pay $250. We were a bit disappointed with this experience especially after reading all the other great reviews. We tried not to let it ruin our trip, but it definitely left a sour taste.

Lovely casita in a unique nature area
A charming New Mexican casita with a lovely fenced yard for outdoor fun, with hammocks and games. Comfortable, spacious bedrooms. The kitchen is large and the dining table can accommodate 8 people comfortably. The nature trail at El Mistico Ranch is fun and interesting and right outside the casita.

Excellent stay near Ruidoso
The property was very relaxing with great views of the mountains. The drive to ski apache is actually a very nice drive through the mountains. The kitchen included all of the basics so no need to bring anything. Same went for the bathrooms. Overall an excellent property. Wish we could have stayed longer but it was already booked for New Years.

Beautiful property, stunning natural setting
My husband and I traveled from Texas to stay at this property with our college aged daughter and two of her friends. Spring Break! We had a 100 % wonderful stay! The house is everything you would want in a New Mexico accommodation. It's secluded, and at the same time, just a short and scenic drive to Ruidoso or Capitan for shopping, etc. The house is beautifully decorated in natural colors and textures, and really geared toward relaxation, comfort and enjoyment of the natural surroundings. We spent our days taking gorgeous hikes. While we love to support local restaurants and eat local cuisine, and intended to spend evenings in town, the restaurants were all experiencing staffing shortages. Some were closed. We never found anything with less than a hour-and-a-half wait, then a long wait for service and food once seated, so we bought groceries and prepared meals at the house. The kitchen is comfortable and great for cooking and eating together! We all watched movies on the big TV at night, and everyone enjoyed the hammocks and quiet. We followed the recommendations for short showers, and never lacked for hot water and great water pressure. Although we bought some firewood, we ended up just using the awesome pellet heater when mornings/evenings got chilly. Now I want one of those for my own house. THANK YOU to the owners, for making this amazing home available. We can't wait to return!

Sweet get away
It’s a nice quiet getaway that is perfect for enjoying peace and close to skiing. Fireplaces in two rooms but I suggest bringing your on wood the rack I bought had more kindling wood rather than logs to burn long.

THIS CABIN IS PERFECT
This cabin is beautiful. And its the perfect place for families and/or group of friends. The cabin is clean, cozy and functional, rooms are spacious, and bathrooms are nice and modern. The 3 fireplaces (plus the pellets heater) make sure you stay toasty in winter. Kitchen is well equipped and big enough for people to gather. And the best part of the cabin is the living room, with fireplace, a tv and very confortable sofas + chairs. A very cool thing we discovered is that the land where the cabin is located has very nice trails to hike. This entire place is perfect for those who love to have fun in the outdoors and the come to a nice beautiful place to rest & recharge.
