Good location

Be prepared to climb a lot of steps! The listing states that it has a dishwasher but it doesn’t. It also has amenities as granite, handicapped accessible which it doesn’t have. The porch has a gate which was great to keep our dog in.

Nice cabin, exorbitant "admin" fees, below average customer service

I'll start with the good. The cabin itself is GREAT! We really enjoyed our stay. The weather was awesome and a welcome respite from the heat back home. A word of caution.... if you have trouble climbing stairs, this is NOT the place for you. I am less and less a fan of VRBO. As soon as you book, they transfer your trip to some other company. That company, of course, adds on more fees. The fees for this rental were outrageous and practically doubled the amount we had to pay. By most any standard I would think that counts as exorbitant. I will seek other options in the future. We were NOT impressed with the local leasing office. We got there early and we knew we were early. We didn't want to check in early, but did want to drop by and see if we could go ahead and sign anything or pick up anything. The leasing office is several miles from the cabin. I was told they couldn't do anything right then because the cabin wasn't ready and to come back later, which was okay since I was early. When I went back closer to check in time, I was expecting to get keys since I had to show up in person. NOPE! I was given two sets of door codes. One in case I got there early. The other was the main code that I would use after 4:00 and for the rest of the trip. I was also given an info packet which could have easily just been left at the cabin. I get not being able to check in early and that wasn't a big deal. I do NOT appreciate having to drive all the way across town twice to get a code that could have been emailed or texted to me and that didn't even work until check in time! A ridiculous waste of time and gas, which was a HIGH when we took this trip! Finally, the brochure they gave us was NOT welcoming at all. It seemed like every line ended with, "Or you will be charged a penalty." It was like they were looking for a reason to charge us even more money on top of the outlandish fees we had already paid. We spent the whole trip hyper vigilant to make sure we followed all the directions to a T to avoid more charges. The cabin was really nice, but I'm not sure I'll use VRBO again at all and certainly won't deal with the ridiculous rules and petty instructions from that local "service" company.

Cute Cabin

This is a cute cabin, beautiful New Mexican decor, andnice overall space. Well stocked kitchen including salt, pepper, coffee filters, sugar, etc. Lots of towels! Two nice decks, and a gate allowed us to let our dog out without fear of him getting out. I would definitely stay here again. Please note, however, that there are stairs up to the property and some are not in good shape.

Great cozy home with fenced backyard!

Had a great time in this cozy and well decorated home! The deck is large and a great place to hangout and stargaze. The open family room and kitchen was really nice. Will definitely stay here again in the future. Only suggestion, add some solar lights to wood staircase railing. Staircase is an awesome feature to the home but hard to see at night.

Climbing Cub

Very peaceful and well decorated place to stay. Enjoyed the fireplace and the two patios. I was able to shut a gate and keep the pups from getting out. Close to town. The only draw back is climbing all the stairs. I’d do it again, I would just pack lighter.

Very clean, well kept cabin. Decorated in SW style, very cozy and inviting. We felt totally at home and comfortable. Quiet neighborhood with deer visiting midmorning. Close to downtown Ruidoso and surrounding attractions. Will rent again in future and highly recommend.

Nice getaway cabin

This location was amazing and so close to the lake. Inside the cabin was beautiful and equipped with everything we needed. Only thing I would recommend is to pave where the cars park, instead of parking on the rocks. Not saying this is the cause but I did get a flat tire. Also one of the rooms had a few spiders. I would definitely come back 👍🏻👍🏻

Climbing Tree

We really enjoyed our stay!! It’s convenient to everything! The stairs are no joke. There is not or we just didn’t see how to turn on any lights at the ground level. It was dark when we arrived. We used the flashlight on our phones. Parking is tight. 2 cars is definitely the max. The decor was nicely done and warm. We will go back!!

The cabin was beautiful, in a private setting clean and comfy, great conditions for a small family. Washer, dryer with a small back yard a fire pit and private parking. Effective communication with the property owners. I wish we could have spend a couple of more days there to really enjoy it more. I definitely recommend you staying here.
