Great place and a great host!

We traveled to Ruidoso for a baseball tournament. On our second day of the trip we were evacuated due to a fire. Stephanie was more than accommodating and understanding of our circumstance. She was quick to communicate with us and put our minds at ease. The cabin was adorable and peaceful. We were sad we had to leave but will most certainly book again if we’re ever back in the area.

Beautiful cabin in the woods

My family and I enjoyed our stay so much! Everything we needed and more was provided at the cabin. Stephanie was a great host who was quick to respond and be helpful. I loved not having internet service overall, it was nice just to sit back and relax. The indoor wood burning stove was perfect, we watched VHS cartoons, played board games and went on walks to enjoy nature.

Nice Cabin

The cabin was very nice, it had everything you need for an extended stay. The property was very nice plenty of space to walk around and kids to play, and make memories. We had a great time, for the exception of several cameras pointing throughout the property, there is one pointing straight to front porch that felt like we were being watched while sitting outside. Also a Sheriffs deputy came over to the property because we had a fire in the fire ring located on the property but this was due to a complete fire ban. We were a little disapointed that we wouldn't get the complete camping experience but this is no fault of the property owners. I Would recommend taking a portable air conditioner because even in the mountains it still gets hot.

Relaxing

This property was great, it had all the amenities, was very clean and had a beautiful scenery. It was about 20 minutes past Ruidoso but we’ll worth it. The owner was very friendly and communicated in a timely manner 😀. We loved the rustic look and are planning to come back in the near future. 😊

Great beautiful cabin

We really loved the stay, it was super calm and we got a lot of snow. The only thing is that you need a 4x4 car. We really enjoy our stay

Beautiful property surrounded by beautiful National Forest.

Having grown up going to the mountains of New Mexico and Colorado, this cabin met all of my and my families expectations for a wonderful Christmas vacation. This is the last cabin on the county road and peace and quiet abounds. Though remote by most peoples standards it was perfect for a nice quiet getaway. The cabin is supplied with all anyone will need and the owner was very helpful and gracious, making sure our stay was well worth the money. The cabin does sit at 7500 feet and snow is an extreme possibility in the winter. 4x4 or chains definitely required. Would give 10 stars if possible!!

Loved it

Our family really loved this cabin, it feels like home it's very beautiful it's a great place if your wanting to get away. It's surrounded by pine trees all over deer like to hang out on the land which we thought was very neat.. We spent our Christmas up there and we loved it she even put a Christmas tree up for us so it could really feel like Christmas at home in the cabin. It pretty much has everything you need it even has extra blankets and pantry pretty much stocked there is some expired stuff in there but it is up to you to verify expiration date.. We loved being away from civilization and being able to be away from our cell phones although you do have a land Line that works perfectly fine. We will definitely reserve this in the future again we definitely recommend..

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Chaney

My husband and I have been frequenting the White Mountains for 35 plus years. We love this area. When we were younger we trailered our horses and rode just about every canyon and trail in the area. When we had the opportunity to purchase this property we didn't hesitate.
