The kitchen was extremely well stocked, the beds very comfy, plenty of extra towels, and the deer and wild horses came right up to the deck. My only concern was the amount of dust on the furniture, kitchen and bathroom cabinets and in general. I understand it is going to be dusty in the woods, but this was definitely built up dust. Otherwise it was amazing and very relaxing. ##### Regenia N. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jared F.

The covered front porch and partially covered back desk were wonderful to sit and enjoy the mountain thunderstroms while staying dry! I had wild horses, deer, wild turkeys, hummingbirds, and one bull elk visit during my stay. The cabin was very clean and much thought has gone into making your stay comfortable. ![When I first opened up the patio doors, this bull elk was looking right at me!

Sep 11, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful view If you are looking for a quiet property with beautiful views of the Ruidoso area, this is a great choice. Enjoy your morning coffee on a large deck as you feed the deer who stop by for a visit. (They love carrots!) The inside of the property is nicely decorated and may be the best stocked of any property we have ever rented. They literally had stocked everything you might need. Beds were very comfortable. If rain keeps you inside during your visit, be sure and try the scavenger hunts in the property notebook. The notebook also has helpful restaurant suggestions for the area, but be advised that staffing shortages mean many area restaurants are keeping irregular hours, so call ahead. Our one issue was with the water pressure, which ranged from low to zero-literally. We were told the local water supply is critically short and they are having to bring in water from other areas. One night the pressure dropped to zero in the middle of my shower! We only had two adults, so we managed to deal with it, but if it were rented to capacity (6 people), this could be a real issue. Otherwise, you will really enjoy this quiet retreat. ##### Gary W. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Patrick G.

Maybe community well issue. Email had wrong password for wifi. ##### Patrick G. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer H. Aug 1, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful property! We had a great family getaway at Nell’s. The place was refreshing, cool, clean, and quiet. It was just what we needed to finish up our summer and get ready for the hustle and bustle of the school year to start. Nell’s Getaway exceeded our expectations in every way. We were so comfortable here and we enjoyed the back deck very much. Most of our time was spent out there watching the deer come up to the porch. We will definitely be back time and again! ##### Jennifer H. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda R.

Hummingbird agreement had to be sent three times before confirme Check in was different. Was told to arrive before 4:00 since office closed. We arrived at cabin at 3:30 only to be told our code wouldn’t work until 4:00\. Cabin was perfect and we enjoyed the deck very much. ##### Linda R.
