Eagle Creek Retreat | Park-Like Setting, Hot Tub, Privacy, Guest House
Plan your vacation in the ultimate family reunion location. Up to 23 people can stay comfortably in the beautiful Eagle Creek Retreat cabin.

When you enter Eagle Creek Retreat you’ll pass through iron gates that give the feel of a private country club created just for you and your guests.
Eagle Creek Retreat includes both a main house and a large guesthouse with a living room, kitchen, two bathrooms and two bedrooms. Wood-burning fireplaces in both houses keep everyone comfortable and supplement the central heating. The main house also has central air-conditioning and the guesthouse has ceiling fans. Open the windows and let the cool mountain breezes keep everyone cool night and day.
There’s plenty to do at Eagle Creek Retreat. For starters, there’s a huge patio and hot tub pavilion where you and your group can enjoy the great outdoors. You also have horseshoe pits and a putting green where you can sharpen your skills for the course.
When you walk into the front door of Eagle Creek Retreat, you’ll be met by a spacious living room with vaulted ceilings and comfortable leather L-shaped couch and armchair. You’ll love gathering here with your group to watch a roaring fire in the stone fireplace. You have a flat-screen TV with cable and DVD player too. After a day of hiking, biking, or fishing, it will feel great to settle into this warm, welcoming room to watch a favorite movie. You also have free Wi-Fi within Eagle Creek Retreat so any gamers in your group can keep up with their challenges and you can send photos of your vacation to friends.
There’s another fireplace and beautiful large family room next to the kitchen in the main house. These spacious gathering places are one of the reasons Eagle Creek Retreat is so perfect for a large family gathering.

Fortunately, you have a huge kitchen outfitted with all the pans, pots, utensils, and serving ware you need to feed your hungry brood. Just pick up ingredients at a Ruidoso grocery and you’ll be all set. Cooking is a pleasure in this beautiful kitchen with dual wall ovens, huge stove, large side-by-side refrigerator with water and ice dispenser, and expansive granite-topped prep areas. You also have a gas grill out on the patio that’s perfect for preparing steaks and hamburgers.
There’s also a full kitchen in the guesthouse. It’s so handy to have this extra kitchen so close at hand.
You can serve your group at the elegant dining table off the living room. You also have seating at the breakfast bar in the kitchen and if your group wants to dine outdoors you have a huge patio to accommodate everyone.

Michael, We appreciate your feedback and we so appreciate your business. We hope you all come back and have another great experience with us. Sincerely, Cindi Clayton Davis
The property is nice and accommodating for a large group and all ages. But the property has been neglected, and had numerous things broken. It needs a little TLC.
The location was great and it was clean. My family of 15 liked the layout too, BUT i would not recommend this place unless the water pressure is improved and there is hot water at the kitchen sink. One of the beds was held up with cinder blocks, and the game room had no heat. There was no communication with the property manager. There was no shampoo etc and they made sure to tell you there was limited toilet paper. Unless these things are repaired, i would not stay here!It’s a shame that these thingss hurt out stay. 12,000 shampoo and conditioner.

Neglected to clean and maintain property
Absolutely disgusting! 1 bed had what looked like some kind of food crumbs in it. 1 bed had what was described to me as a “loose hairball the size of a fist” in it. 1 bed had smelly sheets/pillows, according to the couple in that room. The bed my wife and I slept in had lingerie tags in it as well as a loose earring under the pillow. Not stuck in the sheet in a way where it would stay there during a washing machine cycle. It was simply laying there loose under the pillow. Heater filters sensors were beeping all night because they needed replacing. Floors dirty! White socks were black and covered in hair after a day of walking on them. An unwound metal clothes hanger found in the bathroom cabinet next to plunger. Probably used to unclog toilet and put back in cabinet. Disgusting! Dirty dishes. BBQ grill is gross on inside so much so that flame jets are clogged. Water pressure is terrible at bathroom sinks. We had to go buy our own towels because there was not enough for everyone. 2 people sat on a nail protruding from dining room chair. No dumpster on property. Had to bring trash to town. Dryer doesn’t dry clothes. Multiple bedroom doors could be closed completely, so no privacy. I DO NOT RECOMMEND RENTING THIS PROPERTY

Great Potential but needs updating
For the past 8 years we have rented a house for Thanksgiving to share with our children and grandchildren, totaling 15. Finding Eagle Creek Resort in Ruidoso, New Mexico on VRBO seemed like the perfect fit. Upon arriving we were excited to see a separate building which was a game room with a pool table, ping pong table, and a foosball game. The main house was lovely and the only drawback was there was only 1 bathroom on the main floor for 8 people to share, and this also had to serve as the guest bathroom for company and had the laundry room access through this bathroom. There was also a separate guest quarters with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, and living room. The property outside was large with a hot tub, putting green, and an area to play horseshoes. Sadly though we started having problems the first night. There was a strong gas smell coming from somewhere outside. Then the upstairs heater didn't go on all night so the 4 adults and 2 year old child were freezing. The parents were up most of the night trying to keep their child warm! In the morning we called property management. They were very nice and sent out their also very nice maintenance man. He couldn't fix the heater nor the gas smell and said someone else would come. The heating man came and showed us the thermostat for the heater which was behind a door in the master (the thermostat in the hallway was just for a/c). The propane man came and closed the latch/cover he'd forgotten to close a couple of days earlier. We thought all was well but because the heater is an older system set up along the baseboards, every time it turned on-every 20 minutes, there was a large shaking/rattling of metal in the Master that could be heard throughout the house so sleep was not to be had the second night! As it was a holiday, we didn't call management. We "solved" the heat problem by having the 2 year old go to her other grandparents house-in Ruidoso-and the 4 adults put on socks and layers of clothes,and turned off the heater. Furthermore, there was no hot water in the second bath upstairs-and never had any the entire visit,so those 2 adults had to use the shower in the master and the other 2 bathrooms had only lukewarm water. We called to report this but were told to let 2 people shower, wait 30 minutes, and have 2 more shower, etc as it was probably the water heater that couldn't provide enough hot water for 12 people. I called to express our dissatisfaction and we were given a 10% refund.

Lori, thank you for taking the time to write a review for your stay at Eagle Creek Retreat. We apologize for the air issue you experienced on the first night of your stay. We did get it fixed as soon as we were able, after you called and reported it the next day. We will certainly look into the noise that it emits, as the last thing we want to do is disturb our guests. We are sorry if the issues you experienced during your stay caused any inconveniences and we hope the large sum we refunded you makes amends.

Okay stay.
The place did the job, but definitely needs work. Steps to access the hot tub are flimsy and not secure in some areas. You can’t use any of the upper decks or balcony’s, which are usually selling points. Tv in guest house never worked our whole stay. As well as last night the sheet rock from guest house above the chimney was falling onto the floor from rain and got the carpet wet. Not things you want to see or discover when you have spent over 4,000 for 3 nights to treat your family.
We had a large group of 23 and this place fit our needs pretty well. It was a large property and it had a lot to offer. Lots of room to spread out and a lot of extra fun things for kids and adults to do. Shuffleboard, hot tub, pool, etc. The property was mostly clean, however there were a few mouse droppings in the guest house bathroom, it looked like one of the showers had not been thoroughly cleaned, and the baseboards were pretty dirty. The linens were clean though, and the overall cleanliness of floors and kitchen space were all very clean. One disappointment that we did have as a group, was that we could not use the fire pit. In the listing, one of the pictures shows a firepit and circle of chairs around it. After you book the property and are signing the contract with the rental management it says that no fires are allowed. Then when we got to the property there was also large metal sign in the firepit saying NO FIRES. I don’t understand why they would show a picture of it and make it seem like a selling feature if you couldn’t use it. Our group was kinda disappointed we couldn’t sit around the firepit and have s’mores. Especially since one of the guys in our group was a firefighter. Overall though, this was a great place to stay and we had a lot of fun!

Nice-ish place
The bad: TV remotes with no batteries or dead batteries. The floors upstairs squeak loudly when walked on. The door in the refrigerator is broken. The stove kinda works but kinda doesn't. Some furnishings and items are rundown, in need of repair or worn out. There is an entire cleaning checklist that must be completed or you will be charged additional fees. Why are we paying a large cleaning fee if that's the case?
My family and I absolutely loved staying here. It was spacious and private with plenty of things to do. It was close to fun places to go like adventure mountain park and close to places to shop. It was very clean and had tons of room for clothing. Money well spent!

Family Long Weekend
Overall this is a great property that has so much to offer. It’s a wonderful place. Unfortunately, it looked like no one had been there in months prior to our arrival due to COVID perhaps? Lots of dirt and dust on everything. We did a lot of cleaning ourselves to make it comfortable. I feel that we should be refunded our cleaning fee. The air conditioner was still winterized (we had to figure it out at the breaker box), there were mice droppings in the sleeper sofas, two toilets had leaks at the base (one leaked into the room below through the ceiling fan onto sleeping guests 😳). Also there were many kitchen appliances that didn’t work or had signs saying do not use which was disappointing (espresso machine, ice maker, convection portion of the oven). That being said, the space housed all of our family comfortably and we had a great time. The outdoor patio space is excellent with tons of seating, a hot tub, horse shoes, and golf green. The large kitchen space meant we could cook all our own meals and eat there comfortably without having to try to get our large group into a restaurant.

Best family reunion.
Our family reunions have been meeting for 20+ years and with the many changes that take place each year it's difficult to find "just the right" place. This was wonderful for this year of more young adults and less "under 12yrs" kids. The time was well spent!!

great property but dirty
We arrived to find beds not cleaned, bathrooms dirty and most importantly
gas turned off! It took 3 days before anyone in our party of 23 could take a hot shower or cook in the kitchen. The grill only had gas for one meal. The property was very nice for our family reunion but these problems were not acceptable!

Hi Linda,
We apologize immensely for the inconveniences that you endured during your stay. There was miscommunication on the end of the ServiGas provider and we extend our deepest regrets that you had to experience this disruption. We dropped the ball and your aggravation and discontent was understandable. Guest safety is very important to us and we are fully committed to making things right for you. Although we could not make for the lost, the least we could do was to provide you with compensation for the shortened days. Once again, we are tremendously sorry for the issues. We understand your hesitation to possibly return but we do hope that you will reconsider.
