Loved this house! Fabulous layout. My husband loved the hot tub especially for his recently broken ribs. We were joined by my aunt and grandmother who also loved the house. Great communication with the property manager. Can’t wait to stay here again.

The house is lovey and spacious. It was so nice to have king beds and a private bathroom in each bedroom. Kitchen had everything we needed. The porches were wonderful. We enjoyed watching the deer, elk, and wild horses. Very walkable location in midtown.

Great Location!
New and convenient to everything Ruidoso has to offer. Perfect for families. Just as described… new and stocked with the essentials! Beds were comfy! Had extra soft blankets all over the house for those crisp cool nights! Definitely a great location with easy access to everything! About the only thing we could say is if you are a bath person it’s a small tub… but still works for those needs! Swanky and beautiful cabin! Would definitely rent again!
