Leanne, thank you so much for an amazing review, but most importantly thank you for choosing Axel's Place for your special Spring break. We would love to show you Ruidoso in the summer. Come stay with us again!
Everything about this property was outstanding. The property manager was very helpful and kept in communication the entire time. The place was very clean and had everything one could want. It was a great location and was very relaxing and fun.
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!

Excellent property on the mule deer highway on the way to their bedding ground. Convenient, quiet and well equipped. Friendly neighbors with little through traffic. Website is accurate and great property owner.
Such a beautiful and comfortable house! We and our dogs enjoyed all this property has to offer. Great views from the balcony, front porch, and courtyard. We took many pictures of deer, elk and the amazing sunsets each evening. Great location In a very nice neighborhood. We’ll be back!

Thank you for a great review!! We hope to see you again in 2023!
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.

Everything was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better house and communication with property management was great.
The deer like to walk by the fence about the time
You put dinner on the grill.
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!

Thank you, Laurie for a great review. You and your family are always welcome to come back and stay at Axel’s Place‼️
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 !

Louise, thank you so very much for a great review. We really hope to see you and your lovely family at Axel's Place soon.
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!

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!
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!

Thank you so much for lovely review. I hope you felt a home at Axel’s Place and will come back soon. We’ll be waiting for you;))
Perfect house four our group of 10, 6 adults, 4 children and one dog from 3 related families.
We were there to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday with family 😊.
The property was exactly as advertised,which made it quick and easy to plan for bedrooms. The decor was pleasant and peaceful with very comfortable beds and seating with 3 separate gathering spaces. A nice game room downstairs with pool table and outdoor games available. Every room has beautiful views of the mountains. There are 2 eating areas (breakfast and dining) and kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals there. There are grass areas outside and the kids enjoyed playing outside. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful.
I can’t imagine a better place for our family to spend time together!
The host even left a birthday card and bottle of wine for the celebration!
Such attention to detail 😊.
