This property was above my expectation! Absolutely first class! The cozy yet elegant interior was so very comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked for indoor cooking or outdoor grilling. And I can’t say enough great things about the host ; he promptly answered any questions we had. It was obvious he wanted to make sure we completely enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful home, great location

We went with family to visit Ruidoso and have a quiet get away. The house was beautiful with ample space for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The owner is very friendly and helpful. We felt very welcomed. Can’t wait to book again.

Nature stay

Wonderful home! So clean and welcoming! The front and back porches were wonderful to hang out drinking coffee, enjoying the coolness of the morning. Safe & quiet location, very close to downtown shops. Loved the wildlife! Great home to relax and unwind. Can't say enough about this home.

Amazing

This place is absolutely beautiful! It was super clean and well maintained. It provided so many extras. The kitchen and restrooms were fully stocked. The bedrooms had beautiful, soft linens and super comfortable mattresses. Closets had plenty of hangers. The outside had great outside furniture. The deck had been dusted with salt so we wouldn't slip and the house was already warm when we arrived. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful views. It's also super close to Ruidoso city center, which made venturing out easy. The owner, Greg, was so accommodating and helpful. This was the best rental experience I've ever had. I highly recommend this place.

Just was in contact and communicated as needed. We did not need to get in touch because the house was self explanatory and had everything to cover our needs. We had our small grandchildren with us and were pleased to see that baby gates were permanently installed at the bottom and top of the stairs We brought one just in case but as said the house was very well equipped for our needs.

Absolutely fantastic stay!!!!Communication with Greg was excellent, from booking to checkout. He answered every question as soon as it was asked. The house was immaculate and had tons of amenities including super fast WiFi and very comfortable beds. There was plenty of room to stretch out and quite a few choices of super soft blankets at hand for anyone who was chilly. Also, there was hot water at the ready in all the showers any time of the day, even after successive showers. Definitely would stay again!!!
