I will say that the description of "true mountain experience" should be taken literally. Property is up a long winding road off one of the main roads through Ruidoso. It rises at least 800'. Also be aware that the water from the faucets is basically undrinkable. Water from filter in fridge is acceptable but you might want to stock up on bottled water. This is true of most of the public water in the area. ##### Lamar T. Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenda G.

Cane was out and there were issues with a few lights but there had been thunderstorms so I’m sure they will fix the issues immediately. ##### Lori B.

We had about 15 guests during the day and it was very comfortable. It has an awesome view and we saw a lot of deer and some elk. We had a couple small dogs and the fenced in yard was perfect for letting them out without concerns of them getting out. We want to stay there again! ##### Dennis D.
