Great place
Really great experience. House had everything we needed, spacious and very comfortable. Got to see wild life right in front of the house and really great location.
Overall very nice place. The floors were very cold
Fire place is time restricted. You are required to wash and put up all your dishes, but overall good stay. I would probably stay again.
Perfect place to stay ! Owner/ manager super nice. Glass porch is nice and you will want to stay all day there with the elk grazing nearby. I actually have rentals, and this is a good representation of the best !
Beautiful home with all the amenities in a quiet neighborhood. The location is perfect. There is a grocery store nearby as well as a wide variety of restaurants, bars and shopping. There is definitely wildlife in the area and on several days we saw both elk and deer crossing the roads and or hanging out in people’s yards. Easy and pleasant drives to White Sands National Park and Roswell. Golden Gallo was our home away from home !
This property was perfect for my husband and myself. We enjoyed the home away from home experience. The place was clean and tidy. Very organized. Loved all the sky lights and heated bathroom floor. King size bed big +. We seen lots of wildlife grazing around. It was a beautiful spot and we had an amazing stay!! 5 star from us. We were very satisfied 😌

Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again.
The place was nice; but does need some work. Stove is a concern because of being cracked. The microwave really doesn’t heat the food.
Beds very comfortable, bedding needs replacement showing wear!

Dirty
The master bath and dressing area floors hadn’t been cleaned in ages. I wiped up mounds of hair, dust and dirt when sopping up water on the floor from the walk in shower. House has nice amenities, but dated and worn. Cleanliness aspect destroyed any comfort.

Excellent place! Very clean, organized, equipped, great location.
The place is wide, comfortable, and very well located.
This property was such a pleasure for our little getaway. It was clean, filled with amenities and was set up for relaxation both inside and out. We even saw a deer with her babies our back. The host was very considerate and accommodating. I cannot wait to plan another stay at this property.
Pictures can sometimes be deceiving and these were not! This house is a great rental for any family. Located in a great neighborhood, close to the grocery store, restaurants, golf courses, and shopping. Enjoy watching the deer and elk in the backyard. This house has it all, you will not be disappointed!
This was a very nice property right in the heart of Ruidoso. The location was close to everything we wanted to do. Property management was easy to work with and attentive. I highly recommend this property.
Clean and WELL stocked home, we had a warm fire and plenty of blankets. The neighborhood was quiet and surrounded by trees. Restaurants and activities were close by. Phillip was a great host, he made the check in and out easy for us and was helpful with our questions. Excellent rental in Ruidoso!
