Very clean and the property was well maintained. It’s close to the downtown, but not to close. Very nice
The Property Management team was wonderful and Melissa was quick to respond. We are grateful for all of their guidance.

Loved it!
The house was so clean, updated with all of the right amenities! They thought of everything with this house. We absolutely loved the house. It was comfortable and had a cute porch with a fenced area for our dog. This was a great house!

This was our first experience with a Vrbo rental. We WILL be coming back! Great location and close to everything! We needed this getaway badly and I was hesitant to book this but everything went so smoothly and we felt like we had everything here! Thank you for your accommodations!

Thank you so much for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We hope to see you back soon!
Home was exactly as advertised. Clean, convenient, and comfortable! Wifi was strong and all electronics worked seamlessly. Being on a dead end we had very little traffic so walking the dog was very safe, and the evenings were very quiet. It was great listening to the Ravens settling in for the evenings!

This VRBO is nothing short of exceptional! From clear communication during booking, all the way to check out, we couldn't have had a better experience! The host's hospitality shows in eveything, like a coffee corner in the kitchen and extra throw blankets in a basket. A favorite this trip was the outdoor swing and covered patio! We traveled with our dogs and found the neighborhood to be excellent for walks and sniffs. Can't wait to book again!

A great getaway
First time to Ruidoso and we wanted to bring our dogs. The home and the hostess was perfect. We stayed in a well appointed home, great furnishings with a fantastic location. After a full day of exploring it was a pleasure to come home that had everything we needed to include a fenced in backyard to play off leash with our dogs. Saw deer all the time and an elk just a few houses down the street. It was a great vacation.

From the owner: "Thank you for the review! We loved having you as our guests and are so happy to hear you and your pups had everything you needed. We hope you will stay with us again soon!"
everything was fantastic, great location, cute and cozy cab and appointed with everything you could need for your stay. As the listing states, the driveway is steep, we could not make the turn into the driveway so had to drive up, turn around and come back down to get up it safely without scraping. We also had to take the ball hitch off of our truck for the same reason. Other than that we loved everything about this property and had a wonderful stay!

Such a wonderful property!
We booked another property for our anniversary trip and were notified just 2 days before arrival that the reservation had to be cancelled due to a hot water heater issue. As disappointed as I was, I kept reading and the property owners offered this property as a replacement option. I can't tell you how much of a blessing it was! We absolutely loved this house and it was perfect for our anniversary! The hosts we're as gracious as can be and we loved the scenic view as we drove to the house. We cooked on the covered outdoor patio 2 nights and it had everything we needed to make us feel like we we're at home. We will 100% be back. Such a homey-warm place to stay!
