    This is an amazing cabin! It feels like home. Everything you would need or want is provided by the host. I was amazed at the thought out variety of items there for our use. We had cold and snowy weather, but enjoyed time by the fire and watching the mule deer that congregated in the yard. If your looking for a spacious and comfortable cabin to enhance your Ruidoso area stay, this is it! I highly recommend this Vrbo and host.

    The cabin was just perfect. It was very cozy, clean and well stocked with the basics. Great deck to sit on in the mornings and watch the deer ‘party of three’ each morning. Will definitely stay here again!

    The cabin is beautifully decorated and everything you would need is provided. The covered front porch and partially covered back desk were wonderful to sit and enjoy the mountain thunderstroms while staying dry! I had wild horses, deer, wild turkeys, hummingbirds, and one bull elk visit during my stay. The cabin was very clean and much thought has gone into making your stay comfortable.

    The stay was great! Kitchen was packed with everything you might need. First time I've never needed my kitchen bag I take for traveling. We didnt see any wildlife. Wondering if it’s bc of all the dogs that are penned up. They didnt bark much though. We will diffidently be staying again.
