Perfect Weekend Getaway

This property was perfect for a quick weekend getaway with my husband. We enjoyed watching the deer from the patio and the fireplace made for cozy evenings. After long hikes and outdoor activities, it was nice to soak in the deep bathtub and the water was nice and hot! The location was perfect for us. Everywhere we went was 10 minutes or less from the condo. Clean, comfortable and cozy! We will hopefully be back soon!

Perfect

I was attending my son’s college golf tournament at the Inn of the Mountain of Gods golf course. Minutes away from the course. The patio was the perfect place to have a cup of coffee in the morning with the cool mountain air to help wake me up!! Very clean place with a very comfortable bed!! Thank you!!

Valentine’s Day Retreat

What a perfect short getaway for the Valentine’s Day weekend. The host was exceptional and easy to communicate with. Great location, just five minutes away from the beautiful Inn of the Mountain Gods. So close you could walk there on a beautiful spring or summer morning. The condo was very well maintained and clean, comfortable double bed, that slept more like a queen. TV’s both in the room and living area, equipped with Direct TV and Roku. Nice little balcony with patio set. The fireplace was amazing on a cold evening which made for a romantic evening. Easy to operate front door with a personal code for entering. Condo had everything you’d need if you prefer not to go out and eat. You can easily prepare any meal and stay put. There was also a barbecue grill outside next to the beautiful little stream where you can see ducks and deer playing in and near the water. Bathroom was nice and modern. Host sent us a nice Valentine’s Day gift, which was a nice surprise. We’d definitely recommend staying and would absolutely love to stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by John & Kathy Foreman

Host profile image
We came to New Mexico in1992 from our home state of Ohio. We are career educators and love working with people. We have three adult children, a dog named Coco, and a cat who thinks he runs the show - as most cats do.

Why they chose this property

Ruidoso has long been one of our favorite get-a-way places in the state. When the opportunity came to purchase the condo we call Creek View Condo we did so hoping that we could somehow share the beauty of our great state with others.

What makes this property unique

Close to town, yet in the country. Many things to do locally, yet we enjoy great privacy. We love sitting out on the balcony watching the wildlife who visit the creek and the beauty of the Sacramento Mountains.
