Ruidoso area house

We loved staying at the Happy Trails house. Originally, we planned to have a total of 8 of us, which still would have comfortably fit. However, 3 adults couldn't make it, so our family of 5 spread out. The house itself was great - very clean, homey, and the kitchen was stocked with dishes. We checked in after hours; the instructions were very easy to follow. We didn't have to call the property manager while we were there, but did chat with them when we dropped off the key. The house was perfectly situated for us - less than 5 minutes away from Winter Park, 10 minutes to the main part of Ruidoso for food, restaurants, stores, etc. Our kids (2, 7, and 10) loved the ping pong table and sleds that were at the house. I was sad that we didn't see any wild horses while we were there, but there were plenty of elk and deer around. The only issue we had was that the hot water was very hot and the cold water was very cold - my kids (and somehow my hubby) had trouble finding the right mix for bath/shower. I didn't have any issues with it at all, and really enjoyed the jacuzzi tub. The beds were on the firm side, which actually helped both my hips and hubby's back (we're only in our 40's lol). There were also some cards, games, and other things at the house that we didn't really use because it was only a 4 night trip for us. The gas fireplace was lovely, and we were able to park in the garage to help keep the truck from getting icy. We'd love to stay there again!
