    We spent 9 nights at the cabin. It had everything we needed to prepare 2 meals daily. TV and Internet service were good. The sunrises were outstanding. Wildlife viewing was a great - horses, elk in the yard and streets. If walking the hills of the immediate neighborhood is too much, head for the Sierra Blanca golf course. There are a lot of walkers there - with and without dogs. We side tripped to Cloudcroft, White Sands, Monjeau Lookout, Billy the Kid Scenic Byway and its sights, Weed World (weird) and the Valley of Fire State Park (not great). The Corner Market, Anaheim Jack’s and Downshift Brewery were good for lunch. We shopped at Albertsons (wine selection. Good) and Mario’s (south of town) for really good steaks. Weather was fabulous.

    We stayed here to get some R&R from Albuquerque and celebrate my 39th birthday. Dennis was so accommodating and they had great suggestions/directions in the home book. The hot tub was prestine. We all slept comfortably and had all we needed to cook a couple great meals. Thank you for the great stay!

    Everything from the description, to the communication, to the cleanliness was superb. Location was great — far enough from traffic and noise, yet close enough for 10 min drive into town for restaurants or shopping.Great walking area around the cabin to really take in the Mountain View’s. Hot tub in the evening with the cold winter air was awesome!! Definitely recommend this cabin and would rent it again!!

    We really enjoyed our time here at the Northern Star Cabin. We used the hot tub every single day. Sometimes twice a day. Beds were comfy and I enjoyed falling asleep by the gas log fireplace each night. Would definitely stay here again.

    This cabin was so clean and a perfect location. Close to a walking trail and close enough to be able to drive to town. Has everything you need in it! This was my first time using Vrbo (I usually a different booking service) and they did not have the pet option to add when I booked the place. The host was super kind and helped me add it on! There is a $40 pet fee. Hot tub was perfect. :)
