Wonderful place to stay, felt secluded which was what we were looking for but still very close to town. The place has pretty much everything you need and the host was very attentive ##### William B.

Cabin is amazing and Alison was great about communicating and letting us know about all the deer and elk that come by. She was nice enough to even let us check in earlier before our check in time grateful for that as well. Definitely was a good view and beautiful area. ##### Ashley R.

Aug 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect and affordable Cabin is very nice with everything you need. Weather was perfect! Location is just outside of town with other cabins around but spread out. Saw elk everywhere and deer every day. Great hiking trails near by. It was exactly what we were hoping for! We already want to go back. ##### Bradley J. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott S. Dec 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Cabin in a great location The cabin is really nice with an awesome deck. Deer wander right by. The location puts you right in the Lincoln National Forest. Trees obscure view of neighboring cabins and creates a very peaceful experience. That said, access to Ruidoso's down town shops and restaurants is just minutes away. The owners are responsive and helpful with offers of help and local recommendations. ##### Scott S. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tawanna J. Oct 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Just great! We've stayed in the area a number of times over the past several years. This cottage was as described, clean, comfortable, and pleasant. We spent a good bit of time on the large deck, looking out into the trees and across to the mountain peak. Alison was very responsive and even offered recreational and restaurant input! The only thing that would have made it more perfect would have been a longer range view; but what we had was very enjoyable. ##### Tawanna J. Stayed 9 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Krystal W. Aug 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect cabin for a family We stayed at this cabin for a couple of days and absolutely loved it. From booking to check in was flawless. The cabin itself was located in a great area but not too far to get into town. The patio was the perfect setting for morning coffee and relaxation. The loft in the cabin was so great for my kids and toys for them to play with during our downtime. All tvs had access to different streaming services…plus you didn’t have to try and login with your own accounts and try to remember passwords lol! The hostess was so wonderful and gave recommendations from restaurants to entertainment. The cabin itself was so great, clean and cute. We will definitely be staying again. Overall we had a fantastic experience and stay! ##### Krystal W. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie H.
