Perfect cabin for a getaway. Beautiful views from every side and comfortable chairs on the porch. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our own meals and they even left us some fresh eggs. The location is just the right distance from Ruidoso and Roswell so you can drive into town to spend the day and return in the evening to your own quiet cabin. The Smokey Bear Grocery was well stocked and there were several nice restaurants if you didn’t want to cook. We will definitely plan another stay soon.

I really wanted a place out of town… and I got it! The hosts are lovely, gave me some contact tips for things I needed to do. The lodging was comfortable, and the main area had more space than the photos show. The stars at nite shine like diamonds. Elk bugled, deer grazed….

When we first drove on to the property, it was absolutely amazing beautiful so pine clean, beautiful well kept the views amazing! Reached out to Jill. She told us how to get into the property. We were amazed, and she even brought over fresh eggs from her chickens from her girls, they were delicious. The place was so clean smelt very nice. I would recommend it to others to rent for a night or two the morning sunrise is absolutely amazing just beautiful. We saw a family of deer go through the property. Thank you Jill for such a wonderful peaceful time that we were able to enjoy while I was able to spend time with my God Daughter at the Lincoln Couny Great Stampede Rodeo.The Host Jill so very communicative which helped going and coming..

A Gem with Views of Capitan Gap

The cabin was absolutely charming, clean, and warm. I felt right at home. Everything was clean and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed including coffee in the morning. The porch was one of my favorite places to sit at night and the view of Capitan Gap Mountain. I can't wait to go back! So relaxing!

Sweet casita!

This was a very relaxing place to unwind. Small but very clean. Everything we needed was there. Fenced in area for our dog, nice porch with great views of the mountains. Quiet but close to town where there’s a well-stocked market, a couple of restaurants (Oso Grill has the best green Chile cheeseburgers and homemade ice cream). Short scenic drive to Ruidoso. Must visit Smoky Bear Historical Park and the historic town of Lincoln.
