Magical

We loved our stay here. You can tell that there was a lot of thought put into the entire property, the attention to little charming details was really quite magical. We had a lot of fun wandering around the trails and resting in the hammocks. The Crow's Nest Treehouse itself was a fun blast from the past, and we really enjoyed watching old VHS movies. I also want to note how sweet and friendly Chester is, we got to hang out with him a little bit and we loved every second. He's the goodest boy! We hope to come back again.

Good afternoon just wanted to let you know that we enjoyed our stay at Crows Nest we had a great time and the property is amazing but last night approximately at 2 am someone tried to break in to our tree house. Thankfully Ruidoso Police did go when we called and they found a man that had trespassed the property and they walked him out. If I had any suggestions it would be to possibly have certain contact information of someone available on the property for when there is emergencies

Uniqueness was the only positive about this trip

From booking to check out it was rough, - No welcome message or check in communication, had to text 30 min before we got there to get instructions about door code and gate codes - smelt like sewer (had two air fresheners to cover it up but it just gasses you out because the place is so small) - because there was no communication we weren’t aware there was a heater under the cabinets so it was freezing all night - No clear expectation around carrying everything in by wagon down and up a very large hill - No instructions on how to get to it (signage was limited for this property)

Response from VrboOwner on 10 Nov 2024
Hi Andrew, Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry to hear that your stay didn’t meet your expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. For future stays, please note that our check-in instructions are sent via email through the VRBO system two days prior to arrival. We’re always available through the VRBO messaging system or by phone to assist with any questions, and we encourage guests to reach out if there’s anything we can clarify. Regarding the heating, our listing includes information about the electric heater and full-service A/C unit, both of which are well-suited to keep the space comfortable. We’re also happy to guide guests through using any amenities to ensure a comfortable experience. As for the walk to the unit, we understand it may be a bit of an incline. This information is noted in the listing, and we offer a VIP service to assist guests with transportation upon request. Lastly, the occasional sulfur smell can arise from still water in the pipes, especially in natural areas like ours. A quick flush or brief run of the faucet usually resolves this completely. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope you’ll give us another chance to provide the welcoming experience we aim to create for all our guests. Warm regards, Enrique
