  • The cabin was perfect with a perfect view. I could not have asked for a better place to stay on vacation. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. I look foward to staying there again.

  • Comfortable, clean, fully equipped, great home away from home. Youngsters thoroughly enjoyed the wildlife: mule deer, turkey, woodpeckers, nuthatches, hummingbirds, etc. Convenient and fairly easy access.

  • Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the week in Dances With Bears. The weather was virtually perfect after the first night. We got acquainted with some of your neighbors, all of whom are delightful. There was certainly plenty of wildlife to entertain the kids. I don’t how many times we saw the same young buck with a doe and two fawns; seemed like a daily occurrence. In any event we had a great week and are grateful to you for opening up your home to vacationers.

  • This was our first time to stay at this “cabin.” Upon arrival we (which included my wife, our two grown daughters, and the oldest girl’s fiancé) were pleased to see a clean, very well designed and functional place. It was small, without being too small, and large, without being too large. I even loved the electronic front door lock that allowed me to never have to ask, “Where is the key?” The furnishings are very well done and the kitchen had everything you would need. As with most that have stayed here, the back deck was our favorite spot. The outdoor furniture was extremely comfortable and all of our group could just sit and rock there for hours. The view is great with nothing to block the horizon and everyday we were treated to numerous dear, young and old, walking in the distance. John was a great “remote” host and was very easy to work with. Our group will definitely come again. Hopefully that will be next year after the youngest daughter’s husband returns from his second tour in Iraq and is discharged form the military. I think he will love the spot as a place to help him “unwind.”

  • What we enjoyed most about this tastefully appointed log cabin was its beautiful view of the mountains and the cabin's serene and peaceful setting. A lovely getaway!

  • Despite a few unseasonably warm days in Ruidoso, we loved our stay at this cabin. John bent over backwards making us comfortable by bringing in extra coolers and checking on us. In the past, we've rented a few doozies for our vacations, and as a result, we've gotten pretty picky. So believe me when I say that this cabin is clean, well-stocked, tastefully decorated and a view off the deck that is to die for. The website images are completely accurate. We had a wonderful family gathering of 4 adults and two children and there was ample space for everyone. It has everything you need if you're looking for that quintessential cozy mountain cabin experience.

  • If you are looking for peace and serenity, this is the place to be. Enjoy the beauty of nature in the mountains with all the comforts of home and more. The cabin was spacious, welcoming and definitely a feel of being in heaven or close to it. With kids, it sure beats the hotel, with lots of room and games to entertain the kids. It was home away from home with a more country setting. We loved it. Even though the evenings were chilly it was worth getting in the hot tub and sipping on our favorite glass of wine and enjoying the view. The only thing that I would suggest adding to the cabin would be a TV in the third bedroom.

  • My wife and I were looking for a quiet getaway, but we also had three highschool girls!! The house was perfect! We enjoyed quiet nights by the fire and hot tub, days cooking on the huge deck with stunning views!! The girls enjoyed all that the town had to offer. The layout of the cabin is perfect for kids up (2 bedrooms and gameroom up and adults down) The Dances with Bears cabin is an end of the road property backing to the National Forest. The views will always be there. Upon arriving the house was EXACTLY as the owner said it would be. Everything was clean, fresh and in place. Wood IN the fireplace. Kitchen fully stocked with all items needed, grill and hot tub ready to go the moment you arrive. Easy instructions to leave and my deposit was return immediately upon the maids report of the home. We will be back!!!!!!!! Jeff and Kenna Coats, Plano, Texas
