Mechelle is an excellent host, she responded quickly to our messages and answered all our questions. The house was very nice and spacious. We had a very pleasant stay, we would definitely come back and I recommend it 100%.
Very nice cabin, would definitely stay there again. Very good and clean, beds were super comfortable.so thanks alot for letting us stay and your cabin.
We had a great visit to Ruidoso with family for NYE, cabin is a close drive to town and slept us all comfy and cozy. Hot tub was a hit after long days on the slopes and Mychelle was available and helpful! Great memories were made!
The property was very spacious, we were appreciative when we needed to get something fixed at the cabin, your technician responded right away. All and all, we all had a great time. Thanks.
Extremely pleased with our stay. Very spacious cabin. Mychelle was very attentive and would reply promptly. My family enjoyed themselves very much, especially the hot tub and pool table.Thank you again for a wonderful experience!
We had such a nice time. Space enough for all of us. Located close to Apache ski. It was very clean. Kids loved looking out the big windows in the living room watching deer and turkeys.
Beautiful property, great patio area , only complaint is no air conditioning upstairs.

Disappointed
Location was GREAT! Although, the home was not clean when arriving. Everything seemed to be wiped down with dirty water. Kitchen and bathroom shower faucets loose and falling. Pool table in poor condition and with missing equipment. Septic was failing until we noticed it was disconnected. And over all, the home is alot smaller than the pictures seem to show. The guest rep that helped us was very Positive and very accommodating despite the current fire situation.

Hi Andres, we're sorry to hear you were disappointed with your stay. After reading your feedback, the homeowner wanted to share the following:
We're sorry to hear you were disappointed with your stay. Unfortunately, with the recent wildfire evacuation, our manager was under a lot of pressure, leading to an oversight in checking the sewage system's power status.
Despite our efforts to maintain cleanliness, we do experience wear and tear, like the recently replaced shower faucet and damages to the pool table, from our guests' active use of the property.
Rest assured, our property listing on Evolve accurately reflects its amenities and layout, including the spacious outdoor deck and numerous bedrooms.
Regarding your attempted late checkout, we apologize for any inconvenience caused by the denial, as we had back-to-back bookings to honor.
We strive to provide a pleasant experience for all our guests and apologize for any shortcomings during your stay.
Overall it was good, there was a miscommunication on the check out time, I was told the rules were in the book by the hostess, check out time was 11 in the book at 1038 we were loading up our last items, the hostess left me VM saying to get out, check out time was at 10, the owners rushed in at 1050 got their riding mower out, was throwing rocks and dirt all over us, they believe the check out time was 10, I did address this with the hostess regarding check out in the book was 11, I never received a response at to what she feed back was from the owner. Needless to say we will never stay there again! I have text and VM to prove any of this too.

Hi Roxane, we want to make vacation rentals easy for everyone, and we deeply regret that you felt caught off guard during your stay. After reading your feedback, we followed up with the homeowner, and they wanted to share the following:- Upon inspection, we noticed that the property manual inside the home incorrectly stated the checkout time as 11:00 am. This may have been an old checkout time from when we first started with Evolve three years ago or a typing error. We have since corrected this mistake.- Since my family and I were in town staying at our other property, I came up to do yard work for the first time this season as fire season was approaching. We are required to pick up pine needles and any other wooden timber within a specific radius of the property for fire control. On Sunday, I noticed on camera that you had not left the property yet. Not knowing that you were following the house manual, I sent a message to my property manager to inform you that we would be coming over to do some necessary lawn work.- Upon arrival, I introduced myself as the owner and communicated that I was there to start mowing the lawn. Unfortunately, we miscommunicated about the true checkout time, and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this caused. Moreover, the dust caused by the lawn mower is an oversight, and I apologize for that.Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to address these concerns. We are truly sorry for the confusion and any disruption this caused during your stay.
Stay there for a long weekend with my extended family. The accommodations were great and suited our needs perfectly. All the amenities were met and it you needed something there was a Walmart within a 10 minute drive. The cabin has a vibrantly homey vibe that suited are need. In addition to the pool table and games for the family to partake in there was a go-cart and mini golf course, and the Inn of the mountain gods casino for adults both within a 5 minute drive. I Will definitely stay her again with my family.
The property was the best place we’ve ever stayed in Ruidoso and my family has been going twice a year for the last 15 years.We will definitely be staying here again.
My family and our friends really enjoy our stay at this house , it’s equip with everything you would have at your own home , location is close to every attractions . Highly recommended!!
