When we walked in the house, we were greeted with the fresh smell of cleanliness. Everything was spotless and well arranged. HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Lazy Moose!!!!!
Staying at the lazy moose Lodge was an excellent experience, we stayed in the house for a full week for a hunting trip in Ruidoso and it amplified our entire experience. The home was clean upon our arrival and everything was in place in an order, the kitchen was fully stocked with all necessary cooking items. The beds were a little firm but comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. The checkout process was simple and minimal tasks were needed before departure which was a huge plus, being able to see elk and deer outside our door along with a wild horse was just the icing on the cake, we will definitely be staying here again.
Very clean property, well stocked! The home had plenty of room and was overall a great place to spend some relaxing family time. And the wildlife there was amazing. We saw Elk and tons of Mule Deer....absolutely stunning.

A nice cabin in the area, we enjoyed our holiday and snow in April was a plus! Place was clean and stocked, easy to get to and close to town with a short drive. Pet friendly was a plus, didn’t realize the fenced area for dogs is not accessible from the house you have to go out the door and to the side to let your dogs potty. Overall a good place to rent for a weekend. Thanks!
This house is located just outside midtown. It’s located in a nice mountain, not too high up. Just right. The neighborhood is nice and safe. The fireplace was great and the house is very spacious.
Very clean and very quiet. This was an awesome place to relax and unwind
