Location was very nice, home was clean, nice game room, outside deck spaces were very nice, but no yard space for kids to play.
Kitchen and bathrooms desperately need updating. Small refrigerator, no ice maker.
No vacuum available to use during a week long stay and no wall mounted hair dryers. It was a little inconvenient that the clothes Washer and Dryer are located in someone's bedroom.
Ruidoso itself is a great place to visit!

My family and I came into town for a Memorial Day weekend baseball tournament. The house was great for the most part! Plenty of beds and rooms to spread out. Pool table and shuffle board were both a lot of fun! Hot tub was nice just a little too cold for our liking. We probably could have let it heat up longer and it would have been fine. House was advertised to have plenty of board games. The games were pretty old and missing pieces and or part of the actual board itself. Puzzles also have missing pieces which made putting them together rather annoying. House is also advertised to have all the cooking essentials you would need. Pans are very rusted and coated in grease. If you plan on baking anything at all I would buy disposable pans. Overall I would say we were happy with our stay.

We rented this house for our Christmas vacation for 18 people and we all had enough space, bathrooms, blankets, towels etc. and it is located about 10-15 minutes from town. Lisa was extremely accommodating and even allowed us to check out a little later due to travel arrangements. We hope we can book this home next year if possible. Thank you Lisa and Bob for allowing us use your Home.

Our chapter of the MOMS club from Las Cruces held our annual fall retreat here. 15 moms got to spend time unwinding and connecting together those 3 days! We all got naps (which is so rare for momma’s these days!) and we broke bread together in a beautiful home! Thank you for hosting and we hope to use this property next year as it was the perfect size for us!

Great place to celebrate my husband's birthday! Plenty of room for all our family (13). The only real complaint, which is not a complaint, was the number of stairs. However, that is the only way to get the views we had!! So peaceful and everyone had a great time!

Wanted a nice place to hang out with family. Ages ranged from 18 months/under 13/under 30/under 50 and we all had a great time. Had to set the pack n play so our toddler didn’t go upstairs. Everything else was perfect the patios outside were gated so the little ones could run and play. There was space for everyone to be in their own space and together. Plenty of bathrooms for all of our group which was great! Saw a couple of deer during our stay up close. Really liked that the main patio with the grill is on the opposite of the house where the neighboring house is at. Was a little worried with the house somewhat close but turned out great. Beautiful windows letting the sun in. The kitchen had various amenities that was helpful. Overall loved our stay and hope to go back.

Lovely property. Nine 'golden girls' thoroughly enjoyed our reunion. Plenty of room for all which was a blessing since it rained much of the time so we were cooped up in the house. Loved the decks and the deer visiting daily. Owner and property manager promptly respond to any inquiry.

The family fully enjoyed this home. Nine of us and plenty of room for us all to spread out. Downstairs rooms: dark and quiet, it got cold down there but the heaters worked. Beds worked out very comfortably. The Loft: great beds for the kids. It does get hot up there. Keeping the heat down to *65 really helped at night. Main Floor 2 rooms: perfect beds. The only thing we wanted was some dresser drawers to put away some clothes. Having All those bathrooms was awesome!! The big picture windows in front and in game room. Sunrise & Wild Life! A little bit more snow would have made this trip perfect!

Unfortunately I couldn't go because I got sick with covid 😢 but the rest of my family said they had alot of fun and the cabin was big enough for everyone who was able to go... the best part was the hot tub for them and the pool table... but they said the only thing is that the air hockey machine wasn't working ...but they said it was clean and had everything they needed at the cabin... they said the whole property and cabin was so beautiful and peaceful... thanks so much for your hospitality and beautiful place
Sincerely,
Julie

The house was great. We had lots of room and beds for everyone. The kitchen is well stocked with anything you could need. The only thing I would recommend for the kitchen is a whisk, grater and larger trash can.
The game room was great with lots of games however it was hard to play pool with the eight ball missing from the pool table and the paddles were broken on the air hockey
The propane tanks were missing so no outdoor grilling
We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely
Recommend to others. It was wonderful watching the deer and elk. Beautiful scenery
