We were not able to access the property at first as the keypad was not working, but customer service was helpful in getting us access to the physical key in order to get in. The hot tub was not accessible, there was a lock on it and we were not able to remove the cover (unless there was another way to access it we were not made aware of)
We really enjoyed our stay at the Rustic Grizzly cabin. It was perfect and had such good vibes and energy. It is cozy and relaxing, with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. We plan on booking a stay here on our future trips to Ruidoso. Thank you for sharing such a cozy and relaxing place with us.
Would love to give 5 stars because it's beautiful especially with it being decorated for Christmas, but it definitely needs some updates, some of the kitchen cabinets and drawers are broken, the carpeting is stained throughout, and the kitchen chairs are either very weak or broken and show signs of previous repairs..other than that the cabin is beautiful and comfy..great communication and no issues checking in.
Such a clean a beautiful place to stay! We even had trouble with the code and in less then 10 minutes we was in the cabin. The hot tub was amazing. Especially at night looking at the stars. It was a perfect cabin. The elk and deer was so cool to see. Definitely will be back!
The hot tub was nice. The hinges on the cover was broken. The side door deadbolt also was not working due to the door jam being broken. Both pull out sofas were not functional and had do not use signs on them. But we had family from out of state and we made the best of the cabin.
Cabin was very clean and organized. Plenty of extra cozy blankets, property is gas only. No AC, but when visiting in the fall the temps were nice. No access to washer and dryer. Plenty of space for everyone to stretch out. We enjoyed our stay and the scenery, will book again!
I would recommend, we could not use thw hot tub and thwir waa no air conditioner or waahee/dryer. It was hot upstaira and dispite us opening windows and having the one ceiling fan on, it did not help cool the cabin. Overall i qould recommend
The cabin was clean, rustic (in a good way), cutely decorated, convenient and close to town. We frequently saw elk and deer on or near the property and we really enjoyed sitting on the large front porch. The little arcade game was a fun addition. Neat place!
Excellent cabin that is very rustic but has everything you need. Hot tub and front patio are wonderful. Once the carpet is replaced it will be top notch (Owners are working on that). We will rent it again!
Had a very nice time in this lovely cabin. Close to the action but tucked away. Tv never worked properly and couldn’t raise anyone to help. Other than that very nice stay.
To start the cabin is beautiful. Communication with owners was reasonably fast. The problem was two fold. For one thing and its major was that there is no AC. It was written only once that it had no AC so easy to miss that point. I saw other reviews in the warmer months and noticed nobody hadn’t said anything about not having an AC. I’m here to tell you that it gets warm and hot inside the cabin. They should at least provide some mobile fans to help. So as nice as it looked it was way too hot to really get comfortable. Second issue was that out of our 4 nights there we only had internet on our very last night stay. We had teenagers so this became an isssue. We were unable to stream anything not even Netflix. Had the cabin had AC and a reliable internet it would have been better. Oh and for one day the jacuzzi didnt work but they took care of that right away.
My family enjoyed our weekend stay at Rustic Grizzly. Very peaceful. We were looking forward to using the hot tub but it would heat up our entire trip. Other than that the cabin was great.
