Cabin was very nice and so cozy!! Very nice deck to enjoy the view or to read. We were able to cook, kitchen had all utensils and pans that we needed. We would definitely stay at this cabin again.
Cabin was very clean and decor was great. There were several neighboring houses that had barking dogs that were distracting and the yard was not well maintained. Inside the cabin was very comfortable and maintained.
Its a lovely cabin. Well maintained and clean.Only request would be better window coverings in the bedrooms to blockout neighbor lights and early sunrise.
Thank you for staying with Hummingbird Cabins! We are very happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! We hope to see you again soon!

Good Stay on Memorial Day Weekend
Everything went well, description was accurate, and it is relatively close to a main road.
We ended our stay early and communicated our observations to the management company verbally and in writing, along with pictures. We have received no response. This cabin should be advertised as a hunting cabin in a trailer park, so no hunting. Patently false advertising using stylized and misleading photos. It was a dump.
The cabin was very nice and clean. The area is in an eclectic neighborhood but seemed very safe. Would recommend for a visit in Ruidoso NM

Wonderful Cabin
We spent 4 nights at the Happy Bears cabin. The interior of the cabin is just what you would ask for in a small cabin. The location is great, in the tree line and a very short distance restaurants and stores. I would recommend this cabin to anyone and plan on staying again.

We enjoyed our stay tremendously!
The cabin was perfect for 2 couples with the bath and bed compartments separated by the living area and kitchen. The kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of dishes, silverware ,glasses and pots and pans.
We loved the spacious deck, watching the stars come out was a nightly treat.
I highly recommend this cabin!
