Beautiful views from the top of Ruidoso! The property has a steep curving driveway and stairs, but the effort is well worth the view. It is close to the convention center, shopping and good hiking areas. There is no fenced yard, but our dogs enjoyed the area around the house without any worries of running into neighbors (which are not too close). Overall, a great place to enjoy a relaxing stay in the mountains.

The property was lovely and in a great location. My only issue was that the cabin was not properly cleaned, if at all. We arrived late in the evening on our first night so I didn't notice the cleanliness until the next day. I informed the property of an issue I had found early on, but continued to notice things thoughout our stay. On the last day I was upstairs sitting in the living area when I noticed the rug was completely covered in hair. That's when I realized that the entire place was never properly cleaned. I'm not one to make a fuss, so I let the property know that I would be rating them a 3 but it would have been more if the cabin was cleaned. It was definitely a shame since the nightly rate is so high. I would however, stay there again. It's a lovely cabin, with great views. Just make sure it's clean when you get in.

Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased you enjoyed the cabin, its location, and the beautiful views. We do want to clarify a few things regarding cleanliness. This is one of our most popular properties, rented approximately 300–320 nights per year, and it is also pet-friendly. While our housekeeping team works diligently to prepare the cabin between every reservation, occasional traces of pet hair can unfortunately be overlooked. If that occurred during your stay, we sincerely apologize. Our properties are professionally cleaned by the same experienced housekeeper who has received hundreds of positive guest reviews. We take cleanliness seriously, but we also recognize that vacation cabins, particularly pet-friendly accommodations in a mountain environment, are not always comparable to the controlled environment of a traditional hotel. What is particularly disappointing is that these additional concerns were not brought to our attention as they were discovered. Had we been notified about the rug or any other cleaning issues, we would have gladly sent housekeeping back to address them promptly. We cannot correct an issue during a guest's stay if we are unaware of it, which is why we strongly encourage guests to communicate any concerns immediately rather than waiting until checkout or mentioning them in a review. We appreciate your acknowledgment that the cabin itself was lovely and that you would consider returning. We would welcome the opportunity to host you again and encourage you to reach out during your stay should anything need attention.

Overall the stay was great. The cleaniness was a bit low, crumbs of food from previous guests, pet hair around the carpets & rugs. Only half of the hot tub jets worked. But other than that the house was great.

Hello Malorie, thnk you for letting us know, we take all feedback seriously and have passed this along to our housekeeping manager and the housekeeper. This cabin is booked solid with turn around after turn around, it is likely it needs another deep clean.

This is a great place to stay. The cabin has great views, especially of Sierra Blanca. You feel like you're on top of the mountain looking down on Ruidoso. It is very well kept. The hot tub is very nice after a day of shopping or playing. Both the upper and lower deck are wonderful to lounge around on. You will see plenty of deer, elk, and wild horses. The host is very helpful and accommodating. There are a lot of stairs, if you have trouble with them keep that in mind. Also the driveway is steep. You'll be fine in normal weather, but if there's snow you will need 4x4.Throughly enjoyed our stay. We will stay again

Home was very nicely decorated and well maintained. Fantastic views is an understatement. Hot Tub, fire tables on front and back deck and comfortable beds. Driveway (paved) is pretty steep, but the views are worth it.

Spectacular Views

We really enjoyed our stay. The views were amazing and the house was just like the pictures. We had deer right outside the cabin and saw elk when driving around the neighborhood every afternoon. Great location being close to Ski Apache, ski rental shops, and about a 10 min drive into downtown Ruidoso. There were a few maintenance issues that needed addressing but nothing that affected our stay or overall review.

Hello, we are sorry this was the case as we do require guests to clean their own dishes prior to departing, that being said our housekeeping staff is to inspect dishes and dish count prior to a guests' stay.

Lots of steep roads and stairs

Not a fan and probably won’t stay there again. We are all over 70 and the stairs were very difficult and very hard getting luggage up stairs.We would not venture out after dark because of the area and steep roads and driveway.The cleaning crew did not do a good job. We love Ruidoso and hated we all had to leave early because of health reasons.I don’t like to not give a good review. It was just not a good fit for us. Did enjoy the views.

We are sorry this was your experience with us, please note the pictures are very clear of the two sets of stairs in the home, we have dozens of other rentals on flat ground and are sorry we couldnt get you moved as you had to depart early. We deeply apologise if you found the cleaning crew didn't do a good job, we have one dedicated housekeeper and an inspector for this location and will pass along your feedback to them immediately, as they have always done an excellent job in the past. We also have this location deep cleaned 4x a year as it is heavily rented. Please let us know what you found to be missed so we may review our housekeeping checklist with our team.

Family Vacation

The view was absolutely amazing! The driveway is very steep and has some tight turns, but our vehicle was more than capable of making it work- but I could see how others may have some difficulties if they weren’t fully aware. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 to stay comfortably. The bottom floor has a game room type area which was an added bonus and made our time inside even more fun! I do wish there was more of the ‘day in day out’ items such as a cookie sheet for the oven, more than one dishwasher pod/soap, some laundry detergent or pods as there was none, and more than one coffee filter for our stay of 3 nights/4 days. Overall, the stay was very nice and we are so appreciative of the opportunity to stay in this home. We absolutely loved the beautiful view of the mountains in the background while we enjoyed the hot tub!

Absolutely loved the house! My kids loved the three stories, I myself, maybe too old for that many stairs! But totally worth it for the views! BEAUTIFUL!!!The only thing that we had concerns with was the cleanliness. For a 200 cleaning fee, I would expect much more. Besides the dirty windows, vents, ceiling fans, and baseboards…we found old food, dog food & hair on the floor. Also found a dirty t-shirt and used baby bottle under separate beds. (The beds are really tall, so it’s super easy to look under). The master bedroom sheets were stained. We rewashed to make sure they were clean, and they were…just a big stain. (In my opinion that doesn’t look good for a rental.) Also there were several things that were broken…the BBQ grill, one of the areas wouldn’t light and we could never get it to heat up to temperature to grill steaks. The dryer was super hard to start, and doesn’t shut off (could be a fire risk)…and the top rack of the dishwasher was broken to where if you pulled it out to load, it would fall. You could still use it if you put it back in, but super hard to load and empty like that. The hosts were fabulous. Very communicative and asked what they could improve. Just hope they take our constructive criticism. We would stay there again IF the cleaning was better.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 Mar 2026
Thank you for the feedback, we have had the dryer replaced and the BBQ grill fixed. We are sorry our housekeeper dropped the ball putting stained sheets on the bed (these are always from our detergent) and for not seeing debris under the bed, as we have regular inspectors which also missed this, and for that we do apologize. We will take a look into the dishwasher. This cabin is rented back to back to back with very little time in between to rememdy some issues, this is no excuse of course, but as a rental it takes a bit of a beating due to its popularity. Again we appreciate your patronage and thanks for being great guests.

Incredible View

I loved everything about this property, except its exposure to the west wind. The view is absolutely incredible! The balconies and decks are as advertised. Hot tub worked. The property was pretty clean.Three issues I encountered during my stay. First, the wind. If there is significant wind, you will hear it in both bedrooms through the doors to the balconies… and it was LOUD! I had difficulty sleeping two of the nights I stayed because of the noise. One night I ended up sleeping on a couch just to try to distance myself from those windows and doors.Second, the west facing windows were absolutely covered in dust when I arrived and I had to spend about 20 minutes cleaning them to be able to enjoy the view. Finally, I was disappointed that it wasn’t obviously where they had soap and shampoo for the shower. I finally found it, but it took 2 days to figure it out.Despite everything, it is a great property if you don’t have to worry about the wind. I wouldn’t suggest being there in the spring months. It would be a great place to stay in the calmer summer or fall months.

average at best

We asked the manager if there was a lot of wildlife that visited property for viewing and he responded yes. Our final decision to stay here rode on that suggestion which was incorrect-we were at property most of time and saw ZERO. We asked someone in area and they stated a couple of deer can be seen from time to time--so very disappointing. There is a huge grade to get to house and weather was a little slick so we missed a dinner even though my Maserati SUV is AWD--wasn't worth sliding anywhere at that elevation. The upstairs bedroom we stayed in had a slightly eaten cupcake in a paper container on night stand next to bed when we arrived--don't believe it was a welcome gift. There were sticky spots on upstairs between lounger chairs--didn't want to know what this was. There was food all between and under some of the chair cushions--cleaning folks left an envelope for tips--TIP--get a new cleaning crew--worst I've ever seen. Part of electricity went out in kitchen and the maintenance lady that came out was very nice but couldn't fix problem! The view was great and this is about the only thing I can say positive about this place. I take that back-the 3rd level TV was large and more in line with what we have at home. Unfortunately we would never stay here again. DrJ

Hello and thank you for the review. Unfortunately we cannot control when and how many wildlife will come visit the cabin. As stated in the listing there is indeed a very steep driveway, we plow and salt it as often as we can in the winter months. We are sorry if clenliness was not up to par, we have reported this to housekeeping and our inspector. Thanks for staying with us.
