Nice Big Cabin

A nice cabin in the area, we enjoyed our holiday and snow in April was a plus! Place was clean and stocked, easy to get to and close to town with a short drive. Pet friendly was a plus, didn’t realize the fenced area for dogs is not accessible from the house you have to go out the door and to the side to let your dogs potty. Overall a good place to rent for a weekend. Thanks!
Dogs on the deck!

Very comfortable

This property is exactly as described. It was a very comfortable stay for all of us - we particularly appreciate the two bedrooms with king sized beds and a downstairs space with two additional beds. And a bathroom for every bedroom is so convenient.The kitchen has a large variety of cookware and appliances that made meals a breeze, and we were left a lovely welcome gift that included a little something for everyone. We grilled on the deck, and we were treated to some deer wandering across the property one morning. All in all, this weekend was a success, and we look forward to returning.

Not Exactly Like the Pictures

It was fairly easy to get to. We had never stayed in that area before. Pictures didn’t tell the complete story. We wanted a 3 bedroom 3 bath house, but the downstairs bedroom and bathroom were not as nice as the ones upstairs. In the pictures the deck looked a lot bigger than it was. The refrigerator hadn’t even been cleaned on the inside. We were expected to use just 2 trash bags in the kitchen. It was a good thing we brought extra. We had to be out by 10, which we all thought was a little ridiculous, and then VRBO thought we should leave a tip for the cleaning people. I won’t rent this property again because it really wasn’t what we were expecting. Basically, we were all a little disappointed in the property, plus, it was a lot more than we usually spend as a group. One last thing, you told us not to start out with the air conditioner below 70, and we didn’t. It was a warm weekend, and it never really cooled off.

Family getaway

The cabin was nice and spacious for all my family. It was a two story, with a bedroom downstairs, with two queen beds and a private bathroom. Very sufficient space for my two teen grandkids. The stairs going down to that bedroom were a little steep. Nonetheless it gave us all a good workout going up and down those stairs, including our little doggies. Upstairs had two large bedrooms, both with bathrooms, again very sufficient space and very clean! The kitchen, dining and living room were open concept very spacious for all my family. There was a beautiful fireplace where we sat by in the living room, had a glass of wine and played family games. There was an outside deck on the upper floor, that was just wonderful. One evening my family and I were outside on the upper deck admiring the beautiful view and enjoying the fresh air, when at that time we all got to see a big bear passing. It was so exciting! Overall our stay was quite pleasant! There was only one thing I wanted to address. There are steep outside stairs, leading from the driveway area up to the living room door. The bottom step of those steep stairs was broken and a little scary to step on, especially after it had rained and the steps were wet. Hopefully next time we stay, that step will have been repaired?? I would absolutely recommend this place for a nice getaway!

Very large cabin

Cabin was large enough for 8 adults, although the two full size beds are more for teen or child. These beds were very short, but overall very clean and the kitchen was stocked with every appliance you could possible need. The coffee pot on the other hand, I would suggest cleaning staff really clean out the reservoir. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent it again!

Would Definitely Consider Staying Again

House is lovely, perfect location. We did have a few issues with the air not working and it being 79 degrees in the house the first day and a half. Made for very uncomfortable sleeping and overall comfort. Ice maker did not work either. Overall a very nice home and would definitely consider booking again if they get the kinks worked out. Hopefully they consider refunding a nights stay due to inconveniences.

Nice Cabin, but could use some attention.

We rented the cabin while we were in Ruidoso for my father's memorial. First, I'll say that the person with whom I spoke was very nice and professional. I liked the cabin, mostly. The kitchen was well appointed and functional, but the beds (ALL the beds) need desperately to be replaced. They are extremely uncomfortable, which made for very poor nights' sleep for everyone, resulting in stiffness and exhaustion for all guests each day. We didn't use the grill or the fireplace. Additionally, the Television sets in the bedrooms either didn't work or were not simple enough to manage (we use televisions with Netflix, Hulu, etc. all the time when we travel, so I don't think it was operator error). The TV in the living room seemed to work fine. The trim in the cabin is broken in areas and the carpet needs tacking down or to have a new transition strip put in by the stairs. Again, a decent place, but definitely needs some maintenance and attention to the amenities. I would rent it again, but recommend attention to those items I mentioned.
