Nice cabin. Not as isolated as it looked on the listing but the street was quiet. Lots of curves. In the winter you will definitely need 4-wheel drive or chains. The hot tub needed servicing but the guy came right out when I called. Good wifi and roomy enough for my grandson and I. His Dad visited over the weekend. We enjoyed the cabin and luckily missed the flooding that happened a few days after we left. We would rent this cabin again.

Wonderful GetAway Near Town in the Trees!

This is a wonderful getaway property near town but up in the trees and the cool temperatures. A quiet and peaceful location but only 5 mins from town, grocery stores, restaurants etc. and 15 mins from the Racetrack. Clean and comfortable property with easy check in and out and everything you might need including luxuries like a hot tub. Would not hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to others.

Lovely spot for 2

Very nice small cabin. Great for 2 but could be comfortable for 4. Bring everything you need. We didn’t even find salt and pepper. Worst feature was the master bedroom mattress. Seemed like a cheap mattress with a foam cover that didn’t make the grade. Unless the mattress is a deal breaker, highly recommend

Great property and location that needs a new & more attentive property owner.

There are several "Normal wear & tear" issues that are being neglected by the current property owner. 1) TV has a dark blue spot on the screen like it was hit with a ball, 2) There is limited TV channel options unless one likes watching "paid infommercials" instead of movies, 3) TV remotes had missing batteries or batteries are weak, we bought new batteries, 4) Air conditioning will not cool the cabin because the refrigerant has leaked out, we reported the problem but a/c unit was not serviced during our 9 day stay, 5) the Master Bathtub drain and right vanity sink drain were clogged with hair upon our arrival and drain slowly, 6) Two Hummingbird feeders are present but neglected and dirty or empty, we cleaned them both, mixed new sugar water and refilled them, 7) Automatic light for carport does not come on at night. Humming-bird Cabins Property Management Team did a great job working with us and with what's available. The problems are with property owner neglect. We had a great time and will book with Humming-bird Cabins again, but NOT this property or this particular owners other 2 cabins. It seems this cabin is primarily a rental and not an actual home the owner stays in occasionally.

Tucked away cabin

Nice place. Very quiet and close to everything that Ruidoso has to offer. We saw lots of wildlife which made the stay even better. The only recommendation I would leave is its time to change the bed linens. Usually we bring our own with us but this time we forgot. We had to wash the sheets when we arrived due to them having stains on them and they appeared to not have been cleaned in awhile. Other than that one thing we enjoyed our time at the “the tucked away “ cabin

Tucked away

While the view and the wildlife were awesome there were several issues with the cabin. The main one being there was no wifi. I would have liked to know this ahead of time so we could have planned ahead of time. There was no light in one bathroom and very minimal towels provided. There were minimal dishes provided which resulted in having to wash dishes nightly. Overall it felt like there was no pride of ownership which was evidenced by the numerous cracks in the walls.

The location was in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of deer sightings. The hot tub was the perfect touch. Although overall clean, there were plenty of cobwebs inside the cabin. The water pressure in the guest bathroom was poor. There was also no wifi connection, so we could not use the television, which required wifi connectivity. Luckily, our phones were able to connect to our carrier. Also, we had to figure out how to use the hot tub, as the buttons had no designations and the "information book" did not specify what the buttons were for. We also found the stairs a day later, again because there was no specific info in the book, which would be an important safety feature to know about. Would stay again if these minor details were attended to.
