True to the name, you can hear the Rio Ruidoso as it runs down through the canyon. You can’t actually see it from the deck because of properties located lower on the bank. But it was a very quiet neighborhood almost to the end of the road. Large home with everything we needed to relax after a day riding through the mountains
The location was a good ways from town and very peaceful. You could hear the river flowing from the porch. The house had needed amenities and we had a pleasant stay. However, we were disappointed by the mess we found when we got there. Old moldy coffee cups and an old pill container (with pills) were left behind as well as pet hair on the couches. They threatened fines for this kind of mess, yet this is what we walked in to so we were very surprised. That said, we contacted the office and they were quick to apologize and offered to send someone to clean. We had already cleaned up the mess, so declined housekeeping. Overall, this was a decent stay. I'm not sure it was worth the price we paid, but we still had a good time.
The property was as presented. Nice large porch. Water pressure was fine. Truly is cooler than the town of Ruidoso. We found it to be 11 degrees cooler than Ruidoso Downs one day. Would book again.
No air conditioner and steep high stairs. Too hot and stair problem so we had to move to another cabin.
This is a great cabin in Upper Canyon. We spent a lot of time on the front porch enjoying the sounds of nature. It has a great kitchen to cook in, and the table fit all of us. We would stay here again.
Good
We totally loved our stay. Nice, neat, and clean. Thank you!
The cabin was a good last minute find, nice long front deck. No backyard available. Clean cabin, cozylivingroom & the kitchen had everything need to cook in, but water pressure super low. Only 1 person could shower at a time. Only negative thing about it. Over would stay again.
The cabin appears to have been recently painted and and the showers and sinks seem new. It has great potential to be a really nice place but the laminate floors are buckled real bad in the master, you can sleep in master bedroom with the fam on as it is attached to another bedroom light, so you have to sleep in a queen bed to have the fans work. The biggest issue is there is absolutely no water pressure and we could mot take separate baths because there is nit enough water. The pipe makes a loud noise and it seems there is a line stoppage. The water issue was very frustrating. Lots of stairs to get to cabin, so knee problems are issue. Other than that is was pretty clean and had lots of space for the money.
The location of the property is wonderful and provided an extremely relaxing home base. It’s location is quiet and gave us plenty of chances to see Elk, Mike deer, and even a bear. The dishwasher and washer and dryer weren’t great, but it didn’t keep us from loving our time in this property.
beautiful forest get away!!
We had an enjoyable, relaxing stay! Nice, quiet getaway, close enough to town to go when we wanted, but far enough away it was quiet. Would recommend
My family came to visit for my bday weekend and loved this place.
