Annual Visit

We loved this location and the home was very warm and clean. There was more seating than usual and all very comfortable. Great master suite with comfortable bed. The bathrooms were very nice and spacious. Load/unload under the covered parking was nice. The hot tub was great! Peaceful neighborhood and still had privacy. This was our first Hummingbird property but will definitely look at them for our visit next year.

We did enjoy our stay in the lovely Golden Pines cabin. We have been coming to Ruidoso since the mid 1970's and this is one of the best we have stayed in. We truly enjoyed the covered patio in the mornings and evenings. The decor was beautiful and the bedrooms were comfortable. We will definetly be back!

Nice place

We loved this home and thought it was even better than the pictures. We loved that it was all one level, was nice with a toddler to not have to deal with stairs. We loved having the fenced areas for our pups to enjoy. (And also that pets were allowed) Couple of issues that kept up from giving it 5 stars: 1.Fireplace in living room would it stay lit. Maintenance came and couldn’t determine what was creating the issue. Said they would advise office and have them send someone that actually services the fireplace. Kinda ruined the whole cabin in the woods sitting by a fire vibe. 2. Both yards (dog runs) were full of very large, very fresh dog poop. Apparently the previous guests didn’t find it necessary to clean up after their pets. That left it for us to do before our pups could enjoy the space. 3. Although it was pretty clean - with a toddler and a puppy and having to look under furniture we quickly found that no one used a swiffer to clean under nightstands, couch etc. there was trash, food and lots of dust. Just a quick swipe would resolve that issue. It would also be nice if there was a propane tank type fire ring/table to be able to sit on the wonderful porch in cold season. Overall we would definitely book this home again…good space, great location and awesome that pets could join.

Great rental property

First off, I want to say DO NOT let Google maps find this house for you. It got us terribly lost. Just use the directions from Hummingbird Cabins. Other than Google Maps getting us lost, we had a great time. The house was clean, hot tub was nice. Great place for pet owners. The only thing I would suggest is that they replace the flickering kitchen lights and get a new bulb for the master bathroom.

Great Stay at Golden Pines

Property situated in quiet neighborhood just minutes from restaurants, shopping and hiking. Just the get away we were looking for. Kitchen, living and dining area very spacious. Covered deck perfect for morning coffee. Enjoyed seeing the elk and deer that came to visit. The main bedroom was especially nice with the en suite bathroom very roomy. Will stay again if the opportunity arises.

This house is amazing, the kitchen has everything you need and then some. The front porch was wonderful loved sitting in the morning with coffee watching the deer, elk and wild horses come by and say good morning. Enjoyed it in the evening with a glass of wine and with the same visitors. Dogs loved the yard we loved the fence. It is so peaceful. Location is perfect. We had to call for help getting in it was not a big deal fixed in nothing flat. It is hard to find a good place that excepts pets and we are thankful they let our fur babies stay. Only thing I have to say is if you travel with a pet please pick up after them. I picked up ALOT of poop and I am pretty sure it wasn't all my dogs. We will be back with family and friends.

Just what we were anticipating and a little more!

From the 2 fenced areas for our pets, to the openness and charm of the lovely cabin, we could not have been more pleased. Having not been to Ruidoso in sometime, we were happy with the close proximity to mid-towns shopping and restaurants. Knowing that many of the cabins have more than 1 level, we were happy to find this home with just the one, being perfect for our pets and our aging knees. The 2 bathrooms are spacious and beautiful, and the large, open kitchen was so well appointed, that I didn’t need much of what I had brought along. The bed in the master was very comfortable and made up with nice quality linens. The gas fireplace, and the hot tub off the master bedroom deck we’re both very nice touches. Needless to say, we will certainly check availability on this cabin first for our next visit to Ruidoso. Thank you both, Golden Pines and Hummingbird Properties Nancy and Jerry Wakefield Lucy and Bear
