Beautiful location
It was a perfect mountain getaway for us and our dog. We did a summer weekend retreat from the heat, but it is a great place any season. The hosts were very nice and easy going. Quiet with increidble views. Will stay again when in Ruidoso!!

The cabin was small and cozy, but no clue how 6 people can fit comfortably. There’s no actual air conditioner in the cabin, it is just a window unit and the rooms have a small desk fan in the corner of the room. There was many bugs (alive and dead) in the cabin. The towels did end up having some bugs (small red critters) within the folds so I’m glad we took our beach towels. The property around the cabin isn’t the cleanest and there’s an extensive amount of trash next to the cabin we stayed in. The parking situation was good as we were able to park right in front of our cabin. I like that it was higher up and and had no noise disturbances nor nosey neighbors. The jacuzzi was warm and clean which is a big win.

Small and Simple
This cabin suited our needs, the listing doesn’t claim to be spacious but I definitely would not suggest this cabin for any over 4. While there is a pull out couch- the cabin is so small that it would take up the little bit of walking room there is. It was pretty tight for our family of four. Cabin was clean and the managers were quickly responsive. Do not overlook the bit about parking and stairs. Even though there was no snow in town when we arrived- we still could not get into our iced over driveway on top. As they state- there is a lower parking lot and several flights stairs to cabin- but we even had trouble getting into the lower parking lot when it began to snow our last day and our pizza delivery also could not get to the parking lot. Would not suggest this cabin for anyone older or unable to walk lots of stairs. For our family of four we made it work.
