    We ended our stay early and communicated our observations to the management company verbally and in writing, along with pictures. We have received no response. This cabin should be advertised as a hunting cabin in a trailer park, so no hunting. Patently false advertising using stylized and misleading photos. It was a dump.

    Cabin was very clean and decor was great. There were several neighboring houses that had barking dogs that were distracting and the yard was not well maintained. Inside the cabin was very comfortable and maintained.

    Really liked your property. The cabin was very nice. The wife, I, and our pups thoroughly enjoyed it. We loved your offerings and loved Ruidoso in general. Two improvements that I see kept it from being an excellent stay. One the access to the carport (which looked amazing...) was so narrow and had such a severe drop off made access impossible for my truck. So, I ended parking beside the cabin which was fine, but we encountered a nasty wind, rain, and hail storm while we were there and could have damaged my truck. (Fortunately, it didn't sustain any damage).Secondly the steps down from the driveway to the level the cabin is on are not level. On the initial way down from the driveway to the cabin, my wife slipped and fell down on the wooden steps that were crooked. Fortunately, she her pride was the only injury. But, this could be a serious hazard to people unaccustomed to that hazard.One more note. On the morning of our third (Wednesday) day of our stay, our fire alarm began to give off intermittent low battery beeps. I promptly notified your representative, but as of Friday morning when we departed, the intermittent beeping. There were major storms in Ruidoso on Monday and Tuesday and I am sure that the maintenance people were swamped with problems, but if you had notified me that it was going to be that long of a delay in getting to this battery change out, I would have done it myself. (Although I did not have a ladder to accomplish this.) We will come back to Ruidoso

    Cabin was smaller than portrayed in pictures but accurate. Cabin was super clean, well stocked, comfortable! We ended up staying in mainly because it was so cozy and The wind decided to blow 27 mph on Tues and Wed?. The deck on the back offered scenic views of the mountains trees and and wild life was abundant! Deer, bullmoose ( think that’s what they were) were fun to watch passing through! We were a little disappointed about TV not working in bedroom-we called but no one returned our call:(. Not a deal breaker though- It would look nicer at first glance if the yard we picked of of old debris, around the yard and under decking where back fence is at-it wasn’t so bad though that I didn’t feel safe about my puppy being in there-fenced yard was a plus!! We will book again! Wanted to sign guest book but didn’t have an own! Tammy and Ty. Thank you! !
