The setting was beautiful and the property served our needs perfectly. Everything was well appointed and very welcoming Would highly recommend Falling Water Retreat especially for a large group or family.
The house is amazing! Location is nice, quite, and away from the city life. We loved every bit of it. The kitchen was very well equiped. The Christmas decor was a nice touch. Beautiful home!
The house and property grounds were beautiful. If you like quiet with no people around, this is the place for you. It was perfect. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. The game room was an added bonus with a pool table! This is definitely a place that we will stay at again.
We all enjoyed the stay. It is a fantastic property and location. We enjoyed so much of our time here.

The house and location were beautiful. The maintenance people were very responsive. We had problems with heating when we arrived. The heater was not on due to an error code, and after maintenance arrived it took a very long time to get warm. The internet was also out for several days and maintenance was not able to fix.
The home was clean, beautiful, and exactly as advertised. My family had a wonderful stay! The kids especially loved the hot tub and game room. The large lot also meant that we had plenty of privacy. We would definitely book this home again.
Our trip here was exactly what we wanted and needed. The property is beautiful and very clean. They had everything we needed and it was just amazing. It was able to hold all 11 of us comfortably. We were able to watch all of the animals and relax. I will definitely be coming back! It was great for my family!
Overall great property. Clean and as described but Do not get there to check in early by an house because you will pay $75 to get in or sit outside. Trash you have to travel 4 miles to dump it so make sure you have room for it to haul off.
Check in was difficult because I wasn’t getting the emails they said they were sending. I called the company and she was very nice and gave me all the codes. Other than that it was great
The house and location were great. However we had alot of issues with all the TVs. Nothing was wired correctly and almost none of the applications worked. All the different types of tv options didn't work. The house didn't seem to be dusted and i could see dust on the fans. There was trash right inside the window but on the other side of the blinds. The game room had some issues with the pool sticks not being the best and the air hockey table scoring didn't work. Overall not a bad stay but friendly some headaches.
Toda mi fa familia nos la pasamos increible, los dias que estubimos cayo nieve lonque lo hizo mas incleible, recomendada

Beautiful!!
The home is beautiful as listed. Except there were DO NOT DO notes every where. There was a sign in the kitchen that the stated KITCHEN FOR DISPLAY ONLY. So we didn’t use it at all. I text the manager as we had been texting back and forth asking what did they mean by that. Never did they responded. We rent through VRBO the entire summer and have stayed in many homes. Beautiful homes at that and have never had this situation. They usually leave a welcome basket or other welcome gift and make yourself at home. This is a beautiful home and great location but I will never stay here again. Thank you!!
We stayed 6/26-7/2, loved the location, enjoyed seeing elk and deer. Property listing says they have a game room in basement, but has been converted to kids sleeping area. Did not find game room and nothing in property book to tell you about it if it was now in one of the out buildings. Needed more clothes hangers in closets. Could have had large trash bags also. On the larger scale, the location was great and the house fit for our family. We had 6 adults and 3 kids. You just needed to buy some things that I feel you should not need to.
This place was fantastic!! From the old to the young, everyone one enjoyed their time. We loved seeing all the elk and deer grazing across the property and the house was beautiful ❤️ Thanks for such a great property for us to enjoy!
Great place to relax & unwind! House was very spacious for 8 ppl. Porch was an awesome place to relax & see the deers. I loved sitting on the porch watching the sunrise with coffee. Location is great to be away from the busyness but also is a short drive to shopping & enjoying Ruidoso. Will hopefully be back soon! Thank you!
We had an amazing time. Everything was perfect. The house was clean when we arrived and all of the notes inside the house were very helpful. The location was great and no close neighbors which was also great!
The 4 of us stayed and it was exactly what we thought it would be! Beautiful place with Elk roaming the property, the house was clean and spacious and the location was convenient. Only downfall was there being no A/C, as it got a little warm even with windows open and fans on. I give It 5 stars! Property managers are very easy to work with and answer questions quickly. We will come back!
