Perfect location for Ski Apache and Winter Park

Great place, Great view.

Great cabin for 2 families. Close to ski Apache. Just north of town by 10 min. Full amenities and had space to move around inside and out without being on top of each other.

This is the one.

Very nice and cozy cabin. Feels like a home away from home. The commodities were overall in great condition and you’re able to use them as much as you would like. The scenery and view was super extrinsic. My family and I loved the quality of service provided by the Bartley Family. Greatest cabin you can stay in, you wont be disappointed. Will be renting again soon.

Best cabin in Ruidoso!

My family loved staying here for a long weekend! The cabin is so relaxing and has everything you need. The beds are comfortable and each room has it's own TV with cable. In the morning, we enjoyed our coffee on the back patio while watching the deer come within a few feet of us!! We cooked several meals and were able to easily find plenty of utensils, pots, pans, etc. The kids enjoyed exploring nature outside around the cabin all during the day and at night, we played some fun games we found in the game closet. It was just a quick 10 minute or so drive into Ruidoso to do a little shopping, but we mostly enjoyed just relaxing at the cabin. I highly recommend staying here...you won't be disappointed! We can't wait to go back!!

Wedding Weekend at Noisy Waters

This was the perfect place to stay for our daughter’s wedding. We had more than enough room for 3 adult children and a spouse. We enjoyed sitting out front on the great deck in the morning with our coffee and looking at the gorgeous view. We took a few walks around the area and saw the wild horses several times. Stuart was super helpful and got back to us right away when we had a question. The house was very clean and had all of the things we needed to have a perfect week.

Secluded

If you are looking for a place outside of and close to Ruidoso at the same time, this is it. Great front porch for coffee in the mornings and even a night cap. Secluded somewhat from neighboring houses. Spacious indoors equipped with everything you need. Great spot down the road to hang out (Noisy Water Winery) in the afternoon too. This is where we want to stay when coming to town.

Somewhat disappointed

I sent a message to the property manager with the issues we found. Too many to list here. The house itself was nice. It was not clean inside or out. Looks like it had been a while since anyone had been there. Needs interior doors repaired/replaced.

Where are the doors?

This is a lovely house, but it is somewhat dated. One room had a sliding door completely missing. The bathroom sliding door was difficult to open and shut. We enjoyed our stay but would pick another home if we ever go back.

Modern Cabin

We had such a nice time, everyone wanted to hang out at the property instead of head into town. It felt like a cabin w/all the modern conveniences needed to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The place was super clean and the owner was very accommodating. The environment was magnificent and the outdoor seating areas were perfect for visiting w/each other and created such a relaxing atmosphere for morning coffee or an evening drink. The kitchen was fully stocked w/all the cooking supplies needed to make your meals and serve our party of 8. We didn’t want for anything the entire time we were there. I will specifically seek out this property the next time we plan on staying in Ruidoso bc of the location, the cleanliness and the open floor plan which was perfect for hanging out all together and catching up w/each other. I’m hoping next time it’ll be open for a winter visit… I’m sure it would be even more beautiful surrounded by snow.

Great trip

We very much enjoyed our stay in Ruidoso- especially sitting out on the porch watching the deer. The layout of the cabin was perfect for our family, which included 3 couples, 1 teen, and 1 kid. I gave four stars because some of the pocket doors in the house didn’t work. The two bedrooms on the lower floor both had door issues- 1 didn’t close all the way and the other was missing a door altogether- something that I would have liked to know ahead of time.
