Ruidoso is an alpine mountain community. Expect twisty roads with steep grades. The weather is unpredictable and changes quickly. Elevation can vary between 6000’ to almost 12,000’. Most homes are multi-level with stairs on inclined lots. Expect wildlife to hinder traffic flow. Do not be surprised if the power goes out or when you lose internet or cell phone connection. This is the mountains, and it happens. We encourage guests be prepared with access to chains or 4-wheel drive in winter months for all our properties. This is not the big city. Life is easier and slower paced and more wonderful. This is why we come and why we stay. Relax and enjoy your time in paradise.

Wonderful getaway!

My family and my 2 nephews and their families stayed for 6 days/5 nights over New Years 2025. We have 5 children ages 9-11. The "cabin" was spacious and accomodated us very well. Each of the couples had their own bedrooms and the kids slept upstairs in the spacious "loft". I personally liked that the master where my wife and I stayed has its own door and stair access to the driveway. Very convenient for loading and unloading. We loved using the outdoor hot tub every day. The woodburning stove in the living room was a nice feature in the evenings. Close access to grocery and restaurants was a plus too. I highly recommend this property. Giovanni at the property management company was great to communicate with.

Relaxtion Station

The property had some old furniture that needed replacing. The TVs didn't work, but Destiny remedied This after two days. The family complained that it wasn't very clean upon arrival. It also needs more lighting. I like news and watch FOX NEWS and it wasn't available.

Great place to stay

We enjoyed our stay and would recommend. Place was clean and large enough to spread out. Really loved the hot tub and 4 bathrooms, especially for a group of 14! We've stayed in lots of places and this one is definitely in top 3. It had everything we needed plus more.

Peaceful Place to stay for a Conference

We had a group of ladies stay here while we attended a conference. It was the perfect place to unwind and spend a quiet few hours between sessions relaxing on the back porch. The wildlife all around was a wonderful addition. With a lot of women staying, having 4 clean bathrooms to get ready was priceless! Such a great place!

We loved how the home was setup. The only thing I would improve would be the mattresses and the refrigerator. We love Ruidoso and we rent at least one cabin every year with family. This cabin has great parking space. We loved the hot tub.

Great location but super dirty

The place was close to town but the dirtiest place we had ever been. Trash in the rooms, dirty underwear in the balcony from who knows when. The place has a lot of potential but need an update and a bit of love.

Do not recommend for large groups

The location on the listing was not where the house actually was. There were used diapers on the porch from the previous guest when we arrived. I messaged the host and never got a response. You are not allowed to have 4 cars in the driveway (which is hard when the listing says it can sleep 14 people). Furniture is old and fixing to break. Other than that the house was nice and located in a nice area (even though it’s not what we paid for)

Cozy cabin

Excellent location, great cabin. There were eleven in our party, the cabin had plenty of space, rooms, beds, bathrooms for everyone. The area was decked out for Christmas including lights, decorations and sleigh rides. I would recommend this cabin/area. The only bad thing was the cleanliness of the cabin. I bought some cleaning supplies and cleaned so we could be comfortable. I also bought hand soap because they had bottles of watered down liquid soap, the bottles were all almost empty in all bathrooms. I reported all of this to the rental company so hopefully they take care of this.

Expectations not met…

We arrived right at check-in time for a three night stay. We walked into a very dated, dirty house with TERRIBLE mattresses. We continued to find things all weekend. Broken furniture, broken window blinds, trash under the beds, TVs that don’t work. They only provide 1 extra trash bag and 4 (half used) rolls of toilet paper for a house intended for 14 people (our group had 11). All of the mattress were so hard they were almost unsleepable. Imagine going skiing/snowboarding and coming back to a rock to sleep on. It wasn’t all bad—- the one TV that worked was nice for Netflix and the couch was comfy. The (very dated) appliances all worked (be prepared to dry a load of clothes at least twice). The hot tub was wonderful after a day of skiing. A few things I think the owners should consider- new mattress, an additional dining table as it only seats 6, a TV in the upstairs bedroom, a better cleaning company, the TV fixed in the dining room, a bundle of fire wood, a fire pit for outdoor use. I would not recommend.

Far, Far, Away with No amenities

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We found out, a week from leaving, that’s the rental property was NO WHERE near where it was listed on VRBO. It was 2 miles outside of town, with no ability to walk to shops or food. Once there, the blinds were all broken, the back door didn’t lock, AND the hot tub needed parts so it wasn’t working. We went to turn on the TV, and the sound didn’t work their either. (Thank goodness we had brought our own Roku stick because that was the only thing there was to do. All of this sounds terrible, but it got worse. As we all got ready for bed, the downstairs bathroom with the queen bed had been leaking for a while. (We didn’t notice when we got there as we were all wearing shoes and the leak didn’t show through the carpet in the bathroom.)We had closed the windows when the rains came, so the entire bedroom and bathroom smelled like cat urine. Completely disgusting, and unable to sleep with the smell, the couple staying in that room was resigned to sleep on the living room couches. When we woke to use the grill the next day, it was disgustingly dirty and took 2 hours to fix. The rental property managers did not come to help with ANY of the issues. In fact, they never answered any of our inquiries about getting help with any of it. (My husband worked in construction during his younger days. We aren’t novices to taking care of a home. We just didn’t anticipate having to do that every day while on vacation.)I have left 3 messages requesting a partial refund, and the property management group has not responded AT ALL to any of them. We stay at VRBO’s at least once a month. This experience may change all of that. It was, by far, the worst place we have ever stayed. (And despite my showing the company that their location ping for the rental is 2 miles from the rental, they STILL haven’t changed it. They STILL show the cabin a short block from town. They aren’t concerned at all about the lie about the lo

Nice place, but....

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place is nice, overall, but, the owner needs to make some updates. For example, the middle guest bedroom on the kitchen level needs a new sink asap, among other updates. More supplies would have been nice, like paper towels and tp. Many blinds were broken. The CATV could have had more than 3 working channels, lol. And I'm not sure why there are ancient Phillips HDTVs, with ancient app technology interfaces. There are much better TVs, like TCL, for less than $400. Just saying. On a positive note, the hot tub was very nice, and the WiFi was a lifesaver since there was only 1 bar of AT&T cell signal. We had to use WiFi calling to make calls. All in all, it was a nice place and in a good location. 5 minutes to Sudderth St, and 40 minutes to Ski Apache!!
