The cabin was immaculately clean. We really loved the decor and felt especially safe with the "Duke" keeping watch over us! Enjoyed our mornings on the deck. The view was amazing and it was so peaceful and relaxing. It just made our coffee taste better! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything anyone could need. We did have trouble with the check-in, as the printed directions we received were not correct. We spent over an hour driving around trying to figure out what we were doing wrong. We finally called and got hold of the maintenance man and he got us where we needed to be. He was extremely nice and very knowledgeable. The only thing that I didn't like was the issue with the trash. There was not a dumpster on the property and so we had to locate one down the road to empty our trash. It was not as easy as is sounded. Would we stay there again absolutely!

If you are looking for a quiet property with beautiful views of the Ruidoso area, this is a great choice. Enjoy your morning coffee on a large deck as you feed the deer who stop by for a visit. (They love carrots!) The inside of the property is nicely decorated and may be the best stocked of any property we have ever rented. They literally had stocked everything you might need. Beds were very comfortable. If rain keeps you inside during your visit, be sure and try the scavenger hunts in the property notebook. The notebook also has helpful restaurant suggestions for the area, but be advised that staffing shortages mean many area restaurants are keeping irregular hours, so call ahead. Our one issue was with the water pressure, which ranged from low to zero-literally. We were told the local water supply is critically short and they are having to bring in water from other areas. One night the pressure dropped to zero in the middle of my shower! We only had two adults, so we managed to deal with it, but if it were rented to capacity (6 people), this could be a real issue. Otherwise, you will really enjoy this quiet retreat.
