It has a great location to downtown, but is also very quiet and seemed very private.
It has an awesome porch and we enjoyed the patio fire table!!
The house was very comfortable and clean!

We're so glad you enjoyed the clean space, the great location, and all the local wildlife. It was a pleasure hosting your group, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime
Our family (3 young children and 2 adults) loved our stay at this cabin. The property was perfect, very clean, and great for our size family. The deck and views were great and we were close to everything in town. The communication with the hosts was also very good and made our stay very easy. We would absolutely stay here again.

Thanks so much Tiel! We're so pleased to hear you and your family enjoyed A Beary Happy Place. We hope you'll be back very soon!
Everything from the kitchen to the bathrooms were very clean, well stocked and we had everything we needed to make our visit comfortable. This cabin exceeded all our expectations! Is up high in the mountains but is only 5 mins from down town Ruidoso.

Thanks so much Tiffany! We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay at a Beary Happy Place! We appreciate your kind words regarding the cleanliness of the cabin. We can’t wait to tell the housekeeper. This will make her day! We hope you’ll be back soon
Was our first time ever staying at and booking a cabin. The owners are friendly, communicate timely. Cabin was clean inside and out, quiet location, you will get to see deer and elk. Honestly best experience ever. Definitely recommend staying here.
We had a great stay at the cabin. Very relaxing. The cabin was clean and tidy with everything we needed, in the kitchen, to enjoy our dinners out on the porch. The hummingbirds were a pleasant surprise!
Wild horses, deer, wild turkeys and antelope were frequent visitors.
We would definitely rent this cabin again!

Thanks again Jessica! We hope you'll be back soon!
The cabin was clean and nice, saw lots of deer and elk.
Just beware of the driveway. Was hard to maneuver with a car. A suv or truck would do much better.

Thanks so much! We're glad you enjoyed your stay with us at A Beary Happy Place! Thanks also for the extra tip for other guests regarding the driveway. We do include in the property description the slope of the driveway down to the house.
With our mountainous terrain, the steepness is quite common but also why the back covered deck has great canyon views! Thanks also for your kind words regarding the cleanliness! We hope you'll join us again soon!
We enjoyed our stay! The half covered deck was enjoyed every morning and evening. Even in the rain we could use it. Many deer come through as well. We added a hummingbird feeder for the next guests to enjoy as well. Melissa was easy to contact. A great stay.
