I recommend this beautiful home to everyone. I loved the openness of the kitchen, living room and dining room. My family enjoyed all the amenities this home had to offer. My 15 year old grandson commented that this home was so cozy. I give this home a 10 star rating.

Beautiful Stay!

The property was just as pictured. We had a group of 10, and we all fit comfortably! The hangout area in the backyard was perfect for gatherings. The balcony was perfect for your morning coffee views, even saw some elk in the front yard a couple mornings. Location was perfect, was no more than 10 min to get to pretty much anywhere we were going! Was overall a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this house to friends and family! I know we'll be back!

Great Family Holiday

This lovely house provided the perfect location for our family Thanksgiving. It's clean, beautifully decorated, and in a good location. The kids loved the pool table, Pac Man game, fire pit, and the hot tub. Our trip was made even more pleasant by the helpful attentiveness of our host. I would highly recommend this property to friends. Judith

Overnight stay

Trista was very communicative and there was attempts to accommodate our early check in request and addressing issue of no coffee pot for the coffee maker. The beds were very comfortable and the gaming room was excellent. The kitchen is huge but if you think you might take food home with you be sure to bring your own zip lock bags! Lots of space and very convenient location.

Had a wonderful time.

The house was just as pictured, and there were even a few bonuses. I don't remember seeing a hot tub listed, but there's one now. That and the pool table kept the older kids entertained in our downtime. We have a little one, and although we had brought a pack and play of our own, it was nice to find a second one in a closet downstairs. There were even a couple sleds for a trip to White Sands in the hall closet! Be sure to stop at the White Sands gift shop and pick up some wax before you go into the park.

Retreat to move forward

Went up for a writing retreat with five other authors, and boy did we have a nice time. Place was clean and in a nice location, close to some hiking trails, including Grindstone. Good communication with the owners, including them buying us a water pitcher when it turned out there was no pitcher in the kitchen. Six beds, which was handy because there were six of us. It's pet-friendly, which didn't matter to us because none of us brought pets. We never did try the hot tub, so I don't know how that worked. But it looked fun! Charcoal grill outside worked just great. Spiral staircase isn't the sturdiest, so heavy people should be aware of that. Would have liked more robust wifi, because there were six of us all using it at once, but I suspect it's pretty hard to get blazing fast internet up there in the mountains. Anyway, a good time was had by all. Got lots of good fiction writing done. Thank you!

Just what we needed!!!

We are a team of colleagues working in the wellness industry in El Paso TX, so getting away to regroup and have time as friends was exactly what we needed! We loved our Ruidoso Hang Out! It went above our expectations in every aspect of the home. The home was immaculate, well stocked, provided exceptional space and gave a sense of warmth holiday style! In an exceptionally quiet neighborhood with a wonderful hot tub to enjoy at the end of each day. What an amazing and relaxing environment. The home is well decorated, and our favorite past time was playing pool and Packman! Plenty of parking and the views from the master suite of the mountains was a great way to start the day! We didn't wanna leave this luxurious and beautiful home! Trista was amazing to work with and was available to us if we needed assistance. It was the perfect getaway and the perfect place! And also the yard was amazing and perfect if you want to bring you furry family members too! Happy Holidays, thank you for creating such a pristine and restful sanctuary! Pamela

A Mountain Getaway with Exceptional Amenities and Warm Hospitality

From the moment we arrived at this charming Ruidoso property, we knew we had found a special place. Nestled amidst breathtaking mountain views, this home provided the perfect backdrop for our retreat. The owners were outstanding in their communication, promptly responding to any questions, which made us feel welcomed and well cared for. The house itself is a treasure trove of amenities. The game room became our nightly entertainment hub, boasting a pool table and a nostalgic arcade game. The several fire pits and hot tub complemented by beautiful decks – including one in the master bedroom – allowed us to immerse ourselves in the serene surroundings. The added luxury of smart TVs in every room ensured that relaxation was always at our fingertips. A highlight of our stay was a picturesque hike nearby, made even more magical by a snowfall – a special treat that enhanced the beauty of the area. This property is not just a place to stay; it’s a gateway to experiencing the tranquility and beauty of Ruidoso. A note for future guests: the master bedroom is uniquely situated upstairs, accessible via a narrow, winding staircase, or an external staircase. While this added a quaint charm and privacy to our stay, those with mobility concerns should note that this room may not be easily accessible; however, the property thoughtfully offers four additional, comfortable bedrooms on the first floor. We left with beautiful memories and a promise to ourselves to return to this gem!

Spacious and fun cabin with refrigerated air!

We stay in Ruidoso multiple times a year, so if you stay in this city often, you know that finding a cabin with refrigerated air can be extremely difficult. This Hollywood cabin hosted by Trish comes equipped with refrigerated air which is a life saver for people like me who live in the southwest and do not enjoy being hot. The master bedroom upstairs was beautiful and had both in house access and outdoor access to a beautiful patio. The game room was equipped with a pool table and also a ping pong table which we enjoyed. The kitchen and dining room was spacious and had all necessary items such as pots, pans, bowls, glassware, bottle opener, and cutting boards with sharp knives. This cabin is located right off the main road, so it was easy off/on access. We were initially worried that because it was so closely located to the central part of the city that we wouldn't see wildlife, but we were proven wrong. We saw multiple deer every day we were there. It was quite a sight to see! The Walmart is located less than a mile away which made it easy to load up on groceries for the weekend. The beds were comfortable. The televisions were enabled to log onto major TV apps like Netflix and Disney channel. I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a larger space here in Ruidoso. We will definitely be booking this cabin in the future!
