Get away!

Absolutely perfect. The cottage was wonderfully appointed for all our needs. Beautiful scenery and location was great for touring several different must sees in Ruidoso, Capitan, Nogal, Carrizozo, Bonito Lake and Valley of Fire.

Our new favorite getaway!

We absolutely loved everything about this cottage. We were given great directions and instructions to access the property and were even greeted by the dog on property when we drove up. Right from the start, we were amazed with views from the deck. When we entered the cottage, it was absolutely beautiful, cozy, and clean. We had access to everything we needed inside for the weekend, including a grill outside that we took full advantage of to make dinner. Later that evening, we were greeted by the on-site property owner who came by to introduce himself and make sure we didn't need anything else for our stay. He was extremely informative and gave us some ideas for some back road drives that we could take the next morning. Let me tell you if you love being away in the mountain with beautiful views this is the place for you. We loved it, and we'll definitely be back again. Thank you again for an amazing weekend.
