Angela, a short note that says you would book again tells me the stay did its job. Hope the place felt easy to settle into from the moment you arrived. Whenever you are ready for another visit, the door is open.

We stayed for 4 nights. We loved the location, near a running stream and walking trails. We saw elk and tons of birds just sitting on the front deck. The propane grill worked great. Golfed, walked, birded and sightseeing were our activities. A distant lightning storm created an echo down the canyon, awesome experience! We would go back again. Our dog enjoyed it too.

Hi Mark, thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your four-night stay and made the most of the beautiful surroundings. It sounds like you had an incredible Ruidoso experience—from elk and birds right from the front deck to the nearby stream and walking trails, and even that amazing distant lightning storm echoing through the canyon! We’re also glad the propane grill worked well and that you and your dog enjoyed the property. It sounds like you packed in the perfect mix of relaxation, outdoor adventures, and sightseeing. Thank you for choosing Cozy Cabins. We truly appreciate your kind words and would love to welcome you and your pup back again!

Nice clean cabin. Looks like it was in the flood area but high enough that it was not affected. Good location.

GREAT cabin, lots of wildlife, close to town

This was our very first family vacation. Traveled with my partner, our 10 month old baby girl and I’m currently expecting another girl. We truly had a wonderful time. The cabin itself was adorable, spacious, clean, had all the basics that made our trip carefree. We saw wildlife EVERY DAY, lots of deer all around our cabin and even wild horses! It’s located very close to town which was helpful when we needed to take baby back to cabin quickly for nap time or run to town for a quick bite or shopping. The team was very responsive from booking, check in, and check out. Unfortunately we went during a time when the creek was mostly dried out and the walking trail was closed. The cabin road was a little rundown, you could tell there may have been some construction or previous flood damage. But there’s so many places near by to take the stroller to for a pleasant lengthy walk. Overall, this trip and cabin were exactly what we were looking for and we were incredibly pleased with our time there. Thank you to the hosts for being so accommodating.
