Second time here.

This is our second time booking this house but our first time getting to explore the area without any snow. Love that it’s at the top of the mountain and nothing but trees and nature to admire from the windows and back deck. Great place! Highly recommend!

Ruidoso

We took our children and grandgirls to Ruidoso and stayed here and it was great for our stay. 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms gave us plenty of room. The living area and the kitchen are very spacious so we had room to cook and visit. We will be staying here again in the future.

Wonderful property and amenities. Abundant wildlife. Approach on the winding road is a concern in winter but manageable in fall and summer. Our group would definitely stay again.

We loved our stay. The house is great and the views are amazing. Great kitchen with everything you need. I highly recommend this property. Our group was a group of 8 women and with this house having 3 bathrooms, it was wonderful. We enjoyed watching the wildlife from the porch, fox, deer, and turkeys.

Great stay!!

House was beautiful with amazing views!! House is better in person than pictures show. I’ve rented many houses and this was by far the best one I have rented. Would definitely rent again. You do need a 4x4 in winter. It’s steep coming up.

5 STAR Cabin

My wife and I live in Houston, TX and we love to visit Ruidoso, NM to get away from the busy city. My wife never wanted to leave because everyday we were greeted by wildlife from Deer, Elk, Turkey, birds singing and we even got to see the Wild Horses or Ruidoso in town. This trip was so special and we even spoke about retiring here. We come once a year and this is our favorite so far!! Highly recommend .

Dream Ruidoso Get Away ! ! !

This property offered us the best experience when vacationing a long weekend in Ruidoso. The amenities are great, our 2 favorite were the stellar views and big kitchen. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with the choice to stay at the Cozy house. We will be booking again for a future trip! (The drive to the house is very off-road like. Make sure to have a vehicle with 4wd and good clearance. My truck and friend's Armada made it up great)

Ruidoso House Above All Others

Amazing House, Amazing Views. Well stocked with kitchen pots, pans, plates, utensils. Like the flat area below the house instead of being on a cliff. House was clean. Only 2 minor negatives. Plastics covers on mattresses mande for hot sleeping and driveway potholes at entrance should be filled. Entire process was super easy. We'll definitely stay here again.

Lovely holiday getaway

This property doesn’t disappoint. The views are amazing the layout of the house is wonderful. There is no garden tub, but that didn’t hinder our lovely stay. Please pay attention to the part about winter months and having the appropriate vehicle to get to the property they are not kidding the drive to the property is up a steep and winding road, with deer roaming around, so pretty but please take heed. This property is lovely and spacious!!! Loved it.
