Elk Run Lodge level entry with large back deck, Hot Tub 5 bedrooms

Large Cabin in the Tall Pines, Large back Deck Hot Tub level entry


WE ARE NEW LISTING BUT HAVE OTHER PROPERTY ON THIS SITE (367407)

Pride in ownership! Come and enjoy everything Ruidoso has to offer while staying at our beautiful cabin. As you sit on the large back deck. you will be surrounded by tall pines and wildlife and a view to Sierra Blanca Ski Area. Gas Fire Place for your enjoyment both in the den and in the Master Suite. A Propane gas grill is provided on deck. The entire deck is covered, so you can sit and enjoy it at all times. Four Person hot tub located inside the cabin. We are situated in the heart of Ruidoso, close to everything, but isolated enough to have deer visible off the deck at all times of the day. We are between downtown and the ski area. We are located close to the Links Golf course and Ruidoso convention center. About a mile to the Albertsons grocery store and just a few miles from Ski Run Road which takes you up a beautiful winding road up to Ski Apache you will pass the Winter Park Tubing area at the start of Ski Run Road. Great place to take the young ones and young at heart to tube.

Wild life is abundant in the area, you will see plenty of it most of the year. Large herds of Elk will be seen on the property and surrounding area, as well as deer an occasional bear will roam through the area in the evening. We are also visited by a large heard of wild horses that roam the city almost every other day. (See photos)


Great getaway any time of year. TV with satellite & DVD, 10 minutes to downtown Ruidoso, great shopping, close to the ski area, horse racing, casinos, and great golfing, hiking, fishing and mountain biking. You can start your hike right from the front door.

Five Bed Room Cabin. Off the beaten path but still close to everything. Each of the bedrooms has a king size bed. Master suite has a fireplace and its own bathroom. Large family room with game table and a large 70-inch tv with Direct TV with the NFL ticket. Separate dining room that seats 8 comfortably and game table will accommodate another 8 for a nice meal. Kitchen is newly remodeled, brand-new stove, oven and built-in micro wave along with granite counter tops and a separate coffee and tea bar. Master bedroom is on main floor along with two others, two additional bedrooms are located downstairs down close to the hot tub.

Elk Run Lodge was excellent

The house had everything we needed for a group of 8. Plenty of linens and blankets. The kitchen was so clean and stocked very well with nice dishes and cookware. We enjoyed the patio so much having our coffee every morning. Loved watching the wildlife and seeing the wild horses. For sure we will rent it again.

Stan sorry you were not 100% happy. There is no hot tub advertised on the site for this cabin. Not sure where you saw that. I went back to check the site and confirmed there is not a hot tub advertised.

Friends Get Away

Upon arrival, there was food in the refrigerator & ice cream in the freezer and there was sheets and towels left in the clothes dryer. I would make the suggestion that the instructions on the use of the a/c unit be updated and the check out procedure on closing windows and replacing the bar on the sliding doors (that are no more?). We did have the issue of the commode in the master bath leaking, but contacted Gilbert immediately so he would be aware. But other than that the home was very comfortable and worked great for our group.

Thank you for your input. The AC controller is a Nest and is very simple to use. We have never had someone not figure out how to use it till now. I suppose we could up a detailed explanation if this were to come up again, but really see no need at this time. As to the ice cream are individually wrapped and are there along with the snacks that were left for you upon your arrival as a thank you for renting. I am sure that the sheets in the dryer were there from the maintenance crew. We appreciate all feedback . Thank you for your rental.

I will not waste my time addressing this ridiculous list. Instead I will let our 14 years of great reviews speak for themselves. What I do want to address if more geared for the hosts out there. I am currently working with VRBO about policy violations regarding extortion by travelers. I have heard of this in the past but never been personally involved on one. Guest uses your space and then send a litany of messages one thing after another. After check out they ask for refund before they review you. Specifically " I am waiting to write my review until I see what you do". VRBO has been very good about helping and they are looking into the matter. They have been very good at helping with the matter. We had the property rented from Thanksgiving all through the new year. All 5 star reviews and then this disaster. Please be aware and know they you do have recourse from these type of actions. Travelers are smart enough to see through the situation. So glad this rental is behind us and I have learned so much about the process. I am an host and guest on this site and the other popular site. Thank you VRBO for your help in this matter

Enjoyed our stay

We had a family trip here in June 2022 and enjoyed our stay. Gilbert was extremely responsive to all of my many questions and the house was as advertised. Prior to our stay a new landscaping project was completed giving level access to the house which was great since we had older family members staying with us. Bunk beds had also been added to a bedroom so it slept 4 which was also great. We enjoyed it and would return.

Thank you for your stay and your input. We were waiting on the recycling center to pick up the mattress. We did not want to send to the landfill, they are running a bit behind due to the current conditions. They promised they would have it removed by end of week. Safe travels home and come back and visit anytime.
