Perfect Escape!

Our stay at Axel’s Place was exactly what we needed to escape the Texas heat. The house was very comfortable, the sunsets were beautiful and the wildlife entertaining for us and our lab :-) This is a quiet neighborhood and close to shopping and great restaurants. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We will definitely stay here again!

This property is better than the pictures

This our 2nd visit to Axel's place and we love staying here. The common areas are great for family and friends. This trip we had friends staying at another property over for dinner and drinks which was easily prepared in the large kitchen. Our family enjoyed the many activities that Ruidoso has to offer with easy access from Axel's place. Our pups enjoy themselves as much as we do ! Thank you Nevena we cannot wait to visit again.

Ruidoso Thanksgiving at Axel’s Place

Exceptional views & house! This house has everything you need. Host was absolutely incredible with communication before during and after our stay. We loved it so much we extended our stay. My family of 8 (2 fur babies) made wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend Axel’s Place. We will come back again and again!

Beautiful home!

The property owner is super helpful and quickly responded to any questions that came up during our stay. The home is even more beautiful than the photos! The bedrooms are spacious and there is plenty of room for everyone. It was nice to have a secure yard for our dogs to play in. The neighborhood is very peaceful with the occasional deer and elk! The kitchen has everything we needed and a great BBQ. We will definitely be looking to stay here again!

Lovely property, we had a great time and escaped the Texas heat

We had a fabulous long weekend of family time at Axels Place; the bonus was we could bring our dogs and they had a great time too! Nevena is a wonderful host and responds promptly to any question. The home itself is better than advertised with no detail left to chance. The area was quiet with wildlife right out your front door and a beautiful view of Sierra Blanca. We had rain the first part of the stay but the weather was cool and so refreshing after the hot Texas summer. We can't wait to book our next trip !

Perfect Weekend

The house was amazing! Nevena worked with me on our last minute booking and made it happen. We travel to Ruidoso often and Axel’s Place is the best by far. It was perfect for our dog too. When we left, we forgot one of our valuables. Nevena went above and beyond to make arrangements for our friend to pick it up. If you are looking for an upscale place to stay, look no further than Axel’s Place. You will not regret it. Wonderful amenities and Nevena is the best to work with. We will definitely be back!

Amazing two-family stay!

Our group of 8 absolutely loved our 4-night Spring Break stay at Axel’s Place! It was sparkling clean when we arrived and the rooms and decor were even nicer than in the very nice photos on VRBO! We had three dogs who loved the backyard and side yard, the dog friendly blankets and towels and the dog food bowls. Our teens and adults enjoyed the pool table downstairs. The adults also loved the big tv and sound system in the main living room—perfect for karaoke! (We brought our own mics!) We cooked in two nights and the kitchen was well stocked and spacious. All and all an amazing time was had by all! We highly recommend and would love to come back!

Beautiful home in beautiful Ruidoso!

If you are planning on spending some time in Ruidoso, this is the place for you! This is an absolutely stunning home in a quiet neighborhood! We were welcomed to an immaculate and beautifully furnished home that had everything needed to make for a relaxing and comfortable visit. The bathrooms were clean as well stocked with everything you might need, and the bedrooms were very comfortable and relaxing. The kids had a room of their own which included books, games, and puzzles. The hot tub was clean and relaxing and the older kids and adults enjoyed the pool table on the lower level with a bar and large tv to entertain! This is just a wonderful home and Nevena was extremely helpful and prompt in answering any questions and even sending ideas of things to do while in town! I can’t say enough about this place! We will definitely be back!
