Heavenly

Perfect location and very comfortable. There were so many little things that helped us relax and enjoy - central air, nice hot tub, fenced in backyard for our dogs, and a private road (where you could easily walk out and sit by the river). The only reason I did not give it 5 stars across the board was that the outdoor front and back decks and furniture were covered in spiders and webs (which took us quite awhile to clean ourselves). The master bedroom could easily accommodate a king-sized bed, rather than a queen (but, the queen was adequate). All-in-all, this place was a slice of heaven and we will most certainly be returning!

Disappointed

There was a lot to be desired in cleanliness and quality of items in the unit, such as, toilet paper, sheets (cheap and dirty), pans (old and warped), carpet was dirty with large stain in middle of living room, no fireplace lighter provided, broken toilet paper holder, sliding glass patio door off rails, despite 3 calls for maintenance no one ever came ... location is great, but unit needs updating and repairs. Would not recommend.

Cozy but very uncomfortable beds

I stayed 5 nights, four of which were spent sleeping in a recliner or on the couch. Beds were the most uncomfortable things I have ever tried to sleep on. They make noise anytime you move. Mattress slides off the edges. I could not wait for my stay to be over so I could get some rest.

Refreshing

Well with in the distance to get to food and any other activities. Location is superb for the moving water, the movement of wildlife. Very quiet and distance to activities is perfect. Cabin is equipped for the basic necessities and very clean. The only issue and reason for not a perfect score was that we could not figure out how to get the shower to work in the larger bathroom. And it was difficult to get the tv to work but I am to old to figure out how to run the control. Overall it’s a very nice and great place to stay away from the busy activities of the downtown area but close enough to get there when you want to.

Check in process could’ve been better

Check in process was confusing. They sent a four digit password Making you think this was the access code for the entrance. I’m still not sure what that code was for. Had to drive 2 1/2 miles from the property to pick up the correct access code with instructions. Would’ve been easier just to have the code emailed and check in process instructions left at the house. And the house was cute in a nice location. Lots of deer around to see. The hot tub was set at 95° without the ability to change the temperature, was not as an enjoyable experience as I would have liked. We initially booked one day through VRBO but got a call from the management Company saying they only allow tonight bookings so required us to book another night.

Restful late fall trip

House was accurately described in listing .very clean fireplace had gas logs and was perfect for cool evenings. The stream that ran in front of property was frequent daily by deer. Very quiet road. We normally travel to Ruidiso in the summer so the town itself was quiet. Great visit!

Quick Response

When I arrived, the heating system wasn’t working. One person came and couldn’t fix it, but he did get my tv going for me. Too many remotes for me! Another person was sent then and he fixed the control panel and I was warm all week. Both gentlemen were very courteous and professional.

Need a longer stay next time!

This property was exactly as described. Clean, quiet, peaceful and definitely relaxing. This was perfect for our purpose to get a few family members together in a central location. There are plenty of activities very close so you can venture out for a couple of hours or you can make day trips a little bit further out. We spent most of our time on the front porch and walking along the river with our dogs. None of us wanted to leave! We will be back.

Ruidoso week

We couldn't be happier with the whole experience even with the flash flood we experienced just as we arrived at the house. We were unable to leave at the time because of the conditions but when it receded some, we were fine and so was the house. We loved the house and the management company was outstanding in their concern and all for us.

Great escape from the AZ heat

cute little property in a good location. We were pleased overall however, the internet did not work the entire time, couldn't authenticate the connection no matter what we tried. Secondly, the jacuzzi was about half empty, and we had to fill it up. it continued to slowly leak, so unfortunately we just did not use it. It was a rainy week while we were here which was lovely, however, the entire home is carpeted, which makes it hard trying to keep the carpet clean with all the dirt and mud surrounding the house. Otherwise it is a great little get a way spot.
