Wonderful Vacation

Posted Aug. 27, 2024 on HomeAway
Had a great time. Spent a lot of time out on the deck Where we saw Turkey, Deer, Fox, Elk and even a Bear. We cooked family meals and played a lot of cards. This was our fifth year at Upper Canyon lookout. Love this property.

Beautiful mountaintop retreat

Posted Aug. 18, 2024 on HomeAway
This is the second year we've stayed here, and our new favorite! So comfortable, with four nice bedrooms, each with it's own bathroom, beautiful and comfortable common areas and super well-stocked kitchen, and deck with plenty of seating and amazing view (though, with visible evidence of the recent fires). Owners warned us of the possibility of an occasional temporary water or power outage, since Ruidoso is still in recovery mode. This did happen, but Terry was super-responsive and kept in close contact until the problems were solved. We were able to manage just fine and had a wonderful time hanging out, visiting with local family and going on outings. They have jugs of water for flushing during outages and we brought a five gallon water container with a pump that we put by the laundry room sink which was great for brushing teeth, washing faces, etc. This house is just minutes from downtown shopping and restaurants, yet you feel like you're in the wilderness! The wild horses came to our cabin, along with deer and wild turkey and we saw a lot of elk around town. We were so thankful we had this beautiful place to stay wedding visiting and that we could support Ruidoso family and businesses. Will definitely come back!

Great house with Awesome hosts

Posted Jul. 26, 2024 on HomeAway
We have been staying here since 2020 and this house is perfect. Great location 5 minutes from downtown but perfectly quiet setting with great views. Terry and Carlene are awesome hosts that do everything in their power to make everything feel like home. Even through the fires and floods that Ruidoso experienced this year they were on top of everything. The even notified us of a water outage that the city had before we noticed it. You will never have a regret if you tent this house!!

Beautiful Home

Posted Mar. 24, 2024 on HomeAway
This cabin was perfect for our family to enjoy our much needed time together. Mornings out on the huge covered porch with an amazing view of the mountain. Deer greeting us each morning. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook breakfast. Living Area was also very cozy for all to gather and reminisce. Would highly recommend to stay here. I look forward to our next stay at this beautiful home.

We had a great time at the cabin! It had everything we needed and the host was great at communicating and responsive! The best part was the great view, it was so good I used it as a backdrop to propose to my girlfriend! Overall would definitely recommend and would stay again!

2023 Christmas Vacation

Posted Jan. 11, 2024 on HomeAway
The house had a great layout for all to enjoy. 4 good size rooms, each having a bathroom. Large kitchen, Living Area, and Dining Room. View from the deck was by far the best view of the Mountain. We enjoyed spending Christmas in this home and would definitely book this house again in the future. Thanks The Castro's
