This cabin is in a quiet neighborhood and very close to downtown Ruidoso. The property managers were very communicative and the cabin had everything I needed. I loved the spacious front porch. I would definitely stay here again! The only downside is that it did get a bit warm since there was is no AC.

Our stay was perfect.
Our stay was perfect. We can’t wait to be back. Everything was Perfect. From picking up the keys to ring our cabin and check out was so easy. We are just in love with the car lace. Excellent
Deer came to the cabin both mornings. They came so close that we were even able to pet a couple of them. Fire place was amazing, kitchen was well equipped for at home dinners, beds were clean and comfortable, WIFI and TV worked well, one bathroom was small but functional, the other was new and updated. Plenty of room for 5-6 people. Highly recommend this cabin for a group.

We all enjoyed it so very much.
We all enjoyed it so very much. I will be for sure booking again through Cozy Cabin and most likely to book the Rustic Cabin again! Jeremy was extremely helpful and very friendly. I called to book and extra night and a second time to let him know about late check in and he walked me through everything.
