Quiet, relaxing, valley stay
Amazing stay in the Hondo valley. Quick overnight stop but enjoyed quick hike behind property, meeting the animals, wonderful views of the valley.
The small cottage was perfect size for 2 people with all the amenities we needed for our stay. Look forward to staying again on my next trip to Ruidoso!

Home away from home
Great place, Melissa is a wonderful host. Beautiful scenery, and meeting the horse, dogs and Melli on the property were highlights. The casita is perfect, and really feels like a home away from home. I enjoyed my stay here and will be coming back.

Great Place to Stay
If you are looking for a nice little get away this is the perfect little place. The place is cozy with a nice view. My favorite part was being around the animals on the property. There are 3 horses, one donkey and 3 dogs.
