COMY, COZY COTTAGE! HOT TUB ! PETS BY APPROVAL. TIME TO BOOK FOR SUMMER!

ELK CROSSING IS A NO CONTACT CHECK IN PROPERTY!
ENJOY THE COOL MOUNTAIN AIR ! SUMMER, WINTER, SPRING AND FALL ARE ALWAYS WONDERFUL IN THE VILLAGE OF RUIDOSO

If you are looking for a place to unwind from the rat race of everyday life, you will love Ruidoso and our comfy cottage. We take pride in the "spic & span" cleanliness of this property. PRIVATE HOT TUB! Our cozy cottage offers you the seclusion of a quite area, surrounded by lovely, whispering pines and wildlife galore! Deer visit on a regular basis.....and massive elk drop in occasionally for a nice rest. It isn't unusual at all to see a group of beautiful wild horses. Bird lovers? Ruidoso has gorgeous varieties of hummingbirds! Have a cup of coffee, or glass of wine as you sit on our covered deck or out by the hot tub. Take in all the splendor nature has to offer or spend some time shopping in the many shops Ruidoso offers. Stroll through midtown, stop and enjoy a glass of wine. There are many restaurants in Ruidoso from Mexican food, to burgers, steaks, soups, and delicious desserts! Want more entertainment.....Ruidoso... for CHRISTMAS WE PUT UP A CHRISTMAS TREE! There are 3 casinos nearby....the Inn of the Mountain Gods offers Las Vegas style gambling and breathtaking views that overlook the lake! More adventurous.....try the zip line at Ski Apache or the Inn of the Mountain Gods. New Alpine Slide at Ski Apache… Fishing, canoe rentals, go karts, horseback riding, hiking, museums.......and lots of artwork. Several golf courses nearby. Find it all in Ruidoso. The cottage is 2 bdrm with addl sleeping on a queen sleeper sofa in living area. Large, covered deck. HOT TUB, INTERNET, 2 TV's (ROKU), central heat & air! Most times, you will not need air conditioning, but if you do, this property provides it. Always check road conditions and weather in winter months to be prepared. Four wheel drive & snow chains are recommended in winter months.
TWO BEDROOMS, ONE WITH QUEEN BED, ONE BEDROOM WITH 2 TWIN BEDS. SLEEPER SOFA IN LIVING AREA, QUEEN. WE DO CHARGE AN EXTRA PERSON FEE FOR MORE THAN 4 GUESTS
Ask about our WEEKLY RATES and April discounts. Check out our "sister" property, LAZY N LOG CABIN, 3 bdrm, 2 bath. It has a PRIVATE HOT TUB, Internet, decks, fireplace, ceiling fans, tower fans...and more! VRBO NUMBER 433168. BOOK EARLY FOR THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS. THE VILLAGE OF RUIDOSO DOES NOT ALLOW ANY FIREWORKS WITHIN THE VILLAGE. There are fireworks displays at the Inn of the Mountain Gods on several occasions. Fee of charge & they are fantastic! We offer off-season rates for some months in the year. Usually, dates in latter March, all of April, first part of May, early November have some discounted rates. Weekly rates available also. Higher rates include New Years, Christmas season, Spring Break, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving & Memorial Day. Although holiday rates are increased, we do not try to capitalize on holidays by raising excessively. Not all holiday rates are the same either. We realize there are many properties available to lease in Ruidoso and appreciate your interest in ours. We feel the reviews, on both properties, will give you an insight into what guests think. We work diligently to keep our properties in tip top shape, just as we want them when we stay there. Thank you always for your interest & consideration! Blessings!!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Cozy little cottage was just right for my husband and I, with our dog. Description pretty much matched reality. Communication with host was efficient. Hot tub was really nice each evening after a hike. Deer frequented the yard morning and evening. Nothing fancy, but a nice little place to come back to after a day of hiking. Overall, a relaxing stay.

Christina, Thank you for sending us such a nice review! Glad you enjoyed your stay with us and we would love to host you again! I agree, the location is very convenient where you can quickly get to the downtown area and grocery stores very close.......and at the same time, the location has privacy. We own the land between the Lazy N & Elk Crossing so it is not crowed. The wildlife visit the area regularly! So beautiful! Blessings Jannelle

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The entire cabin was clean, the host was easy to communicate with, the hot tub was clean and ready to get in (which we did) and overall we remained comfortable through our entire visit. The only "warning" I would have is that you need to make sure you don't require assistance going down to the cabin, as there is a bit of a walk down an incline from the parking area to the cabin. Other than that, it was excellent!
