Perfect Escape!

Our stay at Axel’s Place was exactly what we needed to escape the Texas heat. The house was very comfortable, the sunsets were beautiful and the wildlife entertaining for us and our lab :-) This is a quiet neighborhood and close to shopping and great restaurants. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We will definitely stay here again!

Axel’s place is fabulous! There is tons of space, and there is something unique in every room. There’s even a fenced yard. Plenty of games and a pool table kept us all entertained. Can’t say enough good about this luxury getaway!!

Ruidoso Thanksgiving at Axel’s Place

Exceptional views & house! This house has everything you need. Host was absolutely incredible with communication before during and after our stay. We loved it so much we extended our stay. My family of 8 (2 fur babies) made wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend Axel’s Place. We will come back again and again!

This property is better than the pictures

This our 2nd visit to Axel's place and we love staying here. The common areas are great for family and friends. This trip we had friends staying at another property over for dinner and drinks which was easily prepared in the large kitchen. Our family enjoyed the many activities that Ruidoso has to offer with easy access from Axel's place. Our pups enjoy themselves as much as we do ! Thank you Nevena we cannot wait to visit again.

The property owner is super helpful and quickly responded to any questions that came up during our stay. The home is even more beautiful than the photos! The bedrooms are spacious and there is plenty of room for everyone. It was nice to have a secure yard for our dogs to play in. The neighborhood is very peaceful with the occasional deer and elk!

Gorgeous New Mexico Getaway

We had a wonderful time relaxing in this beautiful New Mexico home. The property is lovely inside and out. The house is well stocked and elegantly designed. Many beautiful and comfortable details. We watched lovely sunsets and deer strolling by. Close enough to town, but still quiet and in nature. Nevena was quick to answer questions and offer support. One of our best rental experiences ever! Highly recommend!!!!

Lovely property, we had a great time and escaped the Texas heat

We had a fabulous long weekend of family time at Axels Place; the bonus was we could bring our dogs and they had a great time too! Nevena is a wonderful host and responds promptly to any question. The home itself is better than advertised with no detail left to chance. The area was quiet with wildlife right out your front door and a beautiful view of Sierra Blanca. We had rain the first part of the stay but the weather was cool and so refreshing after the hot Texas summer. We can't wait to book our next trip !

Amazing two-family stay!

Our group of 8 absolutely loved our 4-night Spring Break stay at Axel’s Place! It was sparkling clean when we arrived and the rooms and decor were even nicer than in the very nice photos on VRBO! We had three dogs who loved the backyard and side yard, the dog friendly blankets and towels and the dog food bowls. Our teens and adults enjoyed the pool table downstairs. The adults also loved the big tv and sound system in the main living room—perfect for karaoke! (We brought our own mics!) We cooked in two nights and the kitchen was well stocked and spacious. All and all an amazing time was had by all! We highly recommend and would love to come back!

Perfect Weekend

The house was amazing! Nevena worked with me on our last minute booking and made it happen. We travel to Ruidoso often and Axel’s Place is the best by far. It was perfect for our dog too. When we left, we forgot one of our valuables. Nevena went above and beyond to make arrangements for our friend to pick it up. If you are looking for an upscale place to stay, look no further than Axel’s Place. You will not regret it. Wonderful amenities and Nevena is the best to work with. We will definitely be back!

Great place for holiday stsy

The property was as billed a great home in a quiet area. The home was spotless and has a great kitchen. Good wifi and TV's had cable and internet so everyone was happy. Outdoors we had deer all the time and Elk on occasion. The home is close to downtown Ruidoso so shopping and restaurants are close. For seniors the only issue is steps to all doors' but the rear steps were short with a great railing so our 87 year was able to navigate it with out issue. I would recommend
