Recommend this beautiful cabin!!

Awesome place to spend vacation time with your family. Great river view and perfect location on Ruidoso NM. This is the second time we go, the first time was on Christmas week where the place is beautiful as the Main Street is full with Christmas spirit, you're able to see Clydesdale horses rides as well. Recommend this beautiful cabin!!

Excellent cabin in the mountains

We loved staying here. The river in the backyard is great and serene. The cabin is cozy and spacious. It was well equipped and it even had a wood burning fireplace. The location is also close to everything, but just away to not feel in the middle of all the action.

Very comfortable , cozy , well stocked

Nice place to stay. We did find that the recliners were nice but too low & not very comfortable, & we are not tall people. Also the camodes are very low. But we were happy overall with our stay. It was quite & peaceful, which is the main thing we wanted. Appreciated the cleanness, & the beds were comfortable.Thankyou.

Cozy home on the River!

My family of 6 enjoyed our stay! The property is located on the river and is so peaceful. We loved spending time out on the back deck listening to the water and seeing the deer. The home is well stocked with anything needed and provided a nice place to come back and rest after our adventures! Thanks for having us.
