Ruidoso stay
We loved it. You can see that it's an older home, but we enjoyed the stay. My granddaughters loved the bay windows just to sit and watch the elk. My little dog just stared at them never barked at them. We rolled the blue carpet in front of the fireplace because it was dirty and didn't want the girls walking on it. The girls enjoyed the fireplace to. We had a good time and relaxing for us, just to get away for a few days.

3 quilters go away for a fun weekend of sewing. Blew a fuse the first night there. Owner responded promptly and went above and beyond to make our stay great. School is on other side of back fence. School was out during our stay so it was nice and quiet.

The photos don’t do this property justice, it far exceeded our expectations! Private back yard was a big plus. Everything you could need to make yourself at home was provided. Great views of the mountain peaks from back yard. Quick commute to Walmart and downtown Ruidoso shopping areas. Great place to relax after a long day of skiing, sipping hot chocolate in front of the fireplace waltching movies on the big flat screen. Highly recommend this place for a family vacation!

The house was nice for the whole family
Renting this home was extremely easy. It was in a great location, near the library and walking trails. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. The yard was perfect for the dogs. Seeing the wildlife was awesome and watching the wild horses travel among the people was a treat.

Pretty good.
The good - you get a lot of square footage for the price. It's a nice, clean, cute house and a good location. Elk graze in a nearby field almost nightly, and I saw deer and a variety of birds in the yard several times. Plenty of cooking supplies, including spices. The bad - all the beds are super firm. If I hadn't gone on 5 hour hikes every day (thus making me exhausted) I'm not sure I would have been able to sleep. Even my gf who prefers hard beds said it was too hard. And the main couch in the living room has got to go. It's about 10 years past its lifespan. Overall 4 stars.

The online pictures were generous...
Sadly, we were disappointed in the overall experience with this property. Everything about it is dark, drab and outdated (think, 1985...maybe). Much more so than the pictures online depict. Everything about the house needs an update, particularly the bathrooms, which were marginally functional. The overall condition of the house weakened our vacation experience. I would recommend clicking through to the next option...

It was a perfect location and nice. The only downfall was that there was no A/C and it was kind of warm. But if you needed to talk to the manager he answered.

The property was what was in the picture. It was the perfect location; a bit off the beaten path without being secluded. We enjoyed our stay at this property and would stay at it again, if available, during a future visit to Ruidoso.

Very comfortable home
This home is in a good location for getting around Ruidoso. We enjoyed the fenced yard and the home is not fancy, but had a very comfy feel and is stocked with all the basics. The coffee pot is a drip/filter 10-12 cup and they supplied filters. The king bed in the master is firm, as are the pillows. The sofa is very soft and the WiFi and streaming worked perfectly. We would return to this home!

It snowed a lot the day before we arrived, yet when we pulled up, the driveway and parking area were nicely cleaned off. The house is in an great location! The home was well equipped, comfortable beds, beautiful views of the snowy landscape with a nice large fireplace to enjoy! We would definitely stay there again!
