Definitely 5 stars! The house definitely had a welcoming vibe and our whole family loved being there. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of pillows and blankets, which I think is always a bonus. All the small extra things were great - extra towels, dishes, kitchen items, etc. And the back deck and river were amazing!

The house was clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had many things you might have forgotten. Quiet area and the houses on either side were not too close. The area was beautiful and we enjoyed the Elk sleeping and eating in the yard.The river can be heard and seen just off the back deck. We spent lots of time there.Restaurants and shopping were just down the street from the house.Overall, we were very pleased with our stay in Ruidoso, NMHost was prompt with any questions we had before we arrived. We were sent specific directions to the house, which was very helpful.

Excellent cabin in the mountains

We loved staying here. The river in the backyard is great and serene. The cabin is cozy and spacious. It was well equipped and it even had a wood burning fireplace. The location is also close to everything, but just away to not feel in the middle of all the action.
