The location, wildlife and accommodations are ideal for a family wishing to reconnect and have their pets with them. We really enjoyed our stay and were able to reconnect as a family. We. Loved seeing all the wildlife around.
We have stayed here before and we got the same good vibes this time Great location close to town yet you get the sense of being out in the great outdoors. The place itself is very nice and well equipped We will be back in the future
We would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to anyone. It was exactly as described and in a quiet location close to town with beautiful views. We even walked to town every day. The place was also very clean and had anything we could have needed for our stay.
This house waa beautiful. The property is in a beautiful location. Easy to drive downtown even wakable. Check in was easy. Definitely stay here again. Suoer clean.
We enjoyed our stay at Lewis Lodge. House was very clean, the king bed was very comfortable, the porches were nice to sit out & enjoy the fresh air. Got to see deer & wild horses from porch!
Kitchen was well equipped.
House had everything we needed.
The property was exactly as advertised. Clean, in good shape. Location close to grocery and other local shopping. Overall a very enjoyable experience for my wife and. We would happily stay here again. Highly recommend.
Nicely appointed accommodations. Little difficult to find initially. Very private with all the necessities of home. Short distance from stores and restaurants but still tucked away. Hilly location for parking but manageable. Wildlife everywh

The home was very dusty
The house was in a great location. It had been well taken care of but you need to get your maid service to do a thorough dusting of the home.

Weekend Getaway
Growing up in El Paso, I spent many summers in Ruidoso. Now, living in Houston, I miss it in every way. On my most recent trip, I decided to nix the hotel route, and looked on VRBO, where I found this lovely cabin. It is beautiful and was perfect. Aside from its great location and having everything we needed, Mike and Monica were the perfect hosts. I'll be coming back!
My husband and I really enjoyed staying in this cabin for a week in August. We sat on the back porch with coffee and the hummingbirds in the morning and on the front porch, for the sunrise, and every evening. The living room was spacious with leather furniture and throws for chilly evenings and the air conditioning was welcome on a couple of warm days. The king bed was very comfortable, the kitchen well equipped for our needs, and the bathroom worked well for us with plenty of hot water and water pressure. The driveway is a little tricky so we decided to park in the space up top and walk up and down the nice steps beside the driveway. We enjoyed the town and all the scenery in every direction we drove. The location is convenient and quiet with greenery all around. We would definitely stay here again!

Great mountain vacation
Great house. My daughter loved sleeping in the loft. Great location, not far from town; however, it has the remote feel. Mule deer came up every morning and night. Ate apples right from my daughter's hand. Huge elk visited us as well. The covered back deck is excellent for when it rains. Only issue was the steep driveway. My rear wheel truck couldn't get out, tires kept spinning in gravel. However, there is a flat parking spot at top. 100% recommend this property.
The property is explained well in the description. However, we did have trouble getting into the property. Michael called us but it took about 10 min or so. The fire place is gas and did not work. The shower curtain rod fell down and come to find out it was duct taped so the expandable rod didn't work.
I don't care about the curtain rod although it was a pain and was put back up. I did rent the cabin specifically for the fire place and that didn't work. So over all not a bad place. It was nice and clean.

Clean, not impressed.
Could not get into the cabin as the code would not work. The driveway to the house is very steep getting in or out was a headache to say the least. The cleaning fee of $150 is outrageous considering they want you to take the trash out and put towels away... not a big deal but we got charged so they can wash the sheets pretty much. Overall the cabin is in a good clean condition but the fees, conditions and the driveway made me not want to repeat business.

Made Christmas Memories
Made some Christmas memories to last a lifetime. This cabin really was the perfect December/Christmas getaway our family needed. The cabin was perfect for our family of 5. Even our 3 month old felt right at home. This cabin was everything we expected and than some. Labels around the cabin make it easy to know what when and where to use stuff. The covered patio was perfect for those beautiful snow showers or rainy days. The fireplace warmed our hearts and the cabin perfectly. There's plenty of room about the cabin. The beds were very comfortable and they provided lots of warm blankets for those chilly nights. We enjoyed feeding the deer EVERY day. One deer was friendly enough for the kiddos to feed and pet at the same time. The town is right down the road and a great place to explore or if you need a few more things, shop.
PERFECTION is how we would describe our Christmas getaway here at the Lewis Lodge. Mike and Monica were just a phone call away if and when we needed anything. Thank You. We don't have a bad thing to say about this place and would love to come back. Even if you don't ski, you should check out the Ski area just north of the cabin, about 40 minutes. It's well worth the drive because of the view and snow. There is also a fun family snow tubing area right up the road. I would definitely recommend this cabin for families or even a romantic getaway for couples. We LOVED every bit of it! Thank you :)
Very nice place and lived up to the billing. A bit of a problem with starting the fireplace, but to say the least the owner got immediately back to us with a solution.
If it's snowy or icy I recommend parking at the top
hill as provided.
This was a delightful stay for my husband and I. We loved the place and how comfortable it was. Very clean and really nice. The covered deck is great even when it’s raining. Our next trip to Ruidoso we hope to book here.
We came to Ruidoso to escape the Texas heat. We love the cool temps and fresh air. It was so relaxing to sit on the back porch and watch the wildlife. The cabin was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The three of us enjoyed playing cards. We didn’t need to watch TV!

About the host
Hosted by Mike & Monica
We enjoy the serenity of the forrest, yet exploring the land of enchantment. From golf, fishing, hiking, skiing, tubing, to shopping, the fun never ends. Local casino's, Irish pub with live music or racetrack are great for an adult getaway or miniature golf and horse back riding with the kids! Great restaurants and shopping. If we are not in the mood for entertainment, nothing beats sitting on one of two of the decks grilling, enjoying the sounds of the season creek.
Why they chose this property
We want this to be your recurrent Ruidoso getaway. Making you feel at home is our goal, which is why we have placed every piece of decor, from the decorative pillows to the kitchen utensils, in our cabin for your use and convenience. Our goal is to have you enjoy our place as much as we do! This life is not a trial run. Do things and stay in places that are worth every minute.
What makes this property unique
Located on one acre provides privacy yet two minutes driving distance to town. The A-line frame allows for tall windows of spectacular views & sunshine. If privacy & relaxation are needed, there are shutters on every window and remote control blinds for tall windows. Central heating and cooling is a major plus. Gas grill on deck and indoor gas fireplace offer great convenience. Both east and west facing decks to enjoy sunrises and sunsets. Audible seasonal creek provides a tranquil setting. Fully stocked kitchen ready for your home cooked meals. Frequent animal sightings of deer, elk, & turkeys. This place is a must see!
