Moondance a nice stay!

Beautiful views. Clean throughout. Lacking a few things: no soap (had to self supply), lamp not functioning by bedside, but all in all a good experience. Hot tub a nice touch. Well located. Had to detour around a few closed road related to the floods but for most part could get around without much difficulty. Brenda was friendly and available to answer questions.

Great vacay getaway

We had a splendid time in Ruidoso considering the virus outbreak. The home was well accommodating and had everything we needed. The only concern was the door to get in. We were having difficulty with locking it. Had to hold it just right but that is definitely minor. The hot tub kept my kids entertained. Overall it was well worth it!

Awesome Cabin for a Family Vacation

The home is exactly as pictured. The beds were comfortable and the furnishings were nice. They provided everything we needed, including shampoo/conditioner, trash bags, paper towels, hand and dish soaps, and laundry detergent, which is rare for VRBOs. Loved this! We had a slight issue getting access to the house but the property manager responded and reset the locks within 3 minutes of calling her. The hot tub takes a while to heat but once it’s hot it’s wonderful- so plan ahead. Literally my ONLY complaint was that there was no plastic ware for my kids. My three year old had to use glass cups to drink which was a little unnerving but we made it work. If we come back to Ruidoso, we won’t hesitate to stay here again.

Spacious house.

We had six people in our group- all adults. Having 4 Bedrooms was nice with king size beds. A little disappointed that we didn’t see any wildlife. But had a nice view. The house is being remodeled -And any issues that came up was resolved quickly by management.
