Jun 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Magical We loved our stay here. You can tell that there was a lot of thought put into the entire property, the attention to little charming details was really quite magical. We had a lot of fun wandering around the trails and resting in the hammocks. The Crow's Nest Treehouse itself was a fun blast from the past, and we really enjoyed watching old VHS movies. I also want to note how sweet and friendly Chester is, we got to hang out with him a little bit and we loved every second. He's the goodest boy! We hope to come back again. ##### Madison W.

Thankfully Ruidoso Police did go when we called and they found a man that had trespassed the property and they walked him out. If I had any suggestions it would be to possibly have certain contact information of someone available on the property for when there is emergencies ##### Maria Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Andrew M. Nov 10, 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Uniqueness was the only positive about this trip From booking to check out it was rough, - No welcome message or check in communication, had to text 30 min before we got there to get instructions about door code and gate codes - smelt like sewer (had two air fresheners to cover it up but it just gasses you out because the place is so small) - because there was no communication we weren’t aware there was a heater under the cabinets so it was freezing all night - No clear expectation around carrying everything in by wagon down and up a very large hill - No instructions on how to get to it (signage was limited for this property) ##### Andrew M.
