The house was very clean & layout was excellent. The mattress on the king bed in the master bedroom was the most comfortable we have ever slept on! The hot tub was fabulous! The neighborhood is very quiet. The front & back decks were great to sit on in the morning & evening. We had plenty of wildlife visit. We saw elk, mule deer, birds, ravens, turkeys & the wild horses. We will definately stay here again. Perfect for guests that travel with dogs with an enclosed front yard & back yard. There is a little creek that runs at the end of the street & it was fun to walk to to watch & listen to the running water.
We loved our stay here! The property and the house is so clean. Very nice house! We were all so comfortable and we had the best time while we were there! I would definitely recommend!!

Great home that was very comfortable and clean. Kitchen was very well stocked, plenty of room in bedroooms, 2 great spacious covered porches. The fenced in dog runs make this a great place to bring your dogs. Had Elk and deer come right up to the yard. We will definitely stay here again!!
The little house was perfect for our family and dog. So clean and had everything we needed to get away for the weekend. The hot tub was great and clean, we saw wildlife while drinking coffee on the patio and overall really enjoyed the little cabin. We'll definitely be back!
We did enjoy our stay in the lovely Golden Pines cabin. We have been coming to Ruidoso since the mid 1970's and this is one of the best we have stayed in. We truly enjoyed the covered patio in the mornings and evenings. The decor was beautiful and the bedrooms were comfortable. We will definetly be back!
We were lucky to get snow upon arrival to the home rented. The home was beautiful, with a fenced in yard that was perfect for our pets. If you have never been to Ruidoso, NM this is your sign to go!

We are glad to hear you enjoyed your time in Ruidoso! We hope you will return again soon!!
We loved this location and the home was very warm and clean. There was more seating than usual and all very comfortable. Great master suite with comfortable bed. The bathrooms were very nice and spacious. Load/unload under the covered parking was nice. The hot tub was great! Peaceful neighborhood and still had privacy. This was our first Hummingbird property but will definitely look at them for our visit next year.
Property was excellent and very clean. The prjor guests did leave a bag on the porch that the cleaning crew missed full of dirty diapers. But the dumpster was close. Woukd stay here again. Thank you

Hello Jason,
Thank you for staying with Hummingbird Cabins! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at the property, in our beautiful mountain town! We hope to see you again in the future! We are sorry to hear about the bag left by the previous guest outside, with the housekeepers being so busy having multiple different homes to clean everyday it's easy to miss something. We appreciate your understanding!😊

This house is as advertised. Our 2 maltese loved the wildlife show. You have neighbors but only saw one and this is a very private place. Very close to all restaurants and activities. nice-sized living room with large TV in living room and bedroom. We would definitely stay again!, DrJ

Thank you for booking with us at Hummingbird Cabins! We hope to see you again soon!
Property situated in quiet neighborhood just minutes from restaurants, shopping and hiking. Just the get away we were looking for. Kitchen, living and dining area very spacious. Covered deck perfect for morning coffee. Enjoyed seeing the elk and deer that came to visit. The main bedroom was especially nice with the en suite bathroom very roomy. Will stay again if the opportunity arises.
We’ve stayed in many different locations in Ruidoso. We loved this one! We were disappointed to find out out that it is no longer available! It was so clean and close to town. Elk and deer were in the yard 2 of the 3 days we were there. Hope this home comes back on your website!😊
