Awesome Cabin for a Family Vacation

The home is exactly as pictured. The beds were comfortable and the furnishings were nice. They provided everything we needed, including shampoo/conditioner, trash bags, paper towels, hand and dish soaps, and laundry detergent, which is rare for VRBOs. Loved this! We had a slight issue getting access to the house but the property manager responded and reset the locks within 3 minutes of calling her. The hot tub takes a while to heat but once it’s hot it’s wonderful- so plan ahead. Literally my ONLY complaint was that there was no plastic ware for my kids. My three year old had to use glass cups to drink which was a little unnerving but we made it work. If we come back to Ruidoso, we won’t hesitate to stay here again.

Spacious house.

We had six people in our group- all adults. Having 4 Bedrooms was nice with king size beds. A little disappointed that we didn’t see any wildlife. But had a nice view. The house is being remodeled -And any issues that came up was resolved quickly by management.

Winter stay for son's 21st birthday

Stayed here for my son's 21st birthday. We were close to the casino and family was together. The kids enjoyed the hot tub! We grilled burgers and steaks on the grill and made breakfast in the kitchen so we saved a lot on food! The only problem was getting ahold of the property manager. A couple weeks before our stay, I called and left a message with the property manager. She called me the next morning and I was literally dripping wet from getting out of the shower. I asked if I could call her right back and her response was, "Well I'm busy too!" So I had to gather my questions as I'm dripping wet. I asked all the questions that I could think of. A few days before our stay, I called her again because I had more questions. She never called back. I had questions because I have never stayed in a furnished cabin before. We ended up taking more than what we needed "just in case". Lastly, there was issue with her and parking. Didn't find out until after I booked and received info 30 days before stay that the terms are only two vehicles allowed in the driveway. When I asked if there could be an exception, she told me no because there wasn't enough room. We decided to figure it out when we got there. We ended up with 4 vehicles with PLENTY of room and we didn't impede any of the streets, roads, or neighbor driveway. Other than that, the property was clean. Noticed a little rip on one of the leather sofa. One of the closet doors was broken. Other than that, we had a great time! I also thought I read that there was a tv in each of the bedrooms. There was one bedroom that didn't have a tv, but that was still okay. On the plus side, the deck area was awesome and we saw deer very close to us! The family had a great time!

Great vacay getaway

We had a splendid time in Ruidoso considering the virus outbreak. The home was well accommodating and had everything we needed. The only concern was the door to get in. We were having difficulty with locking it. Had to hold it just right but that is definitely minor. The hot tub kept my kids entertained. Overall it was well worth it!
