The inside is very nice and clean; I love how you can look out the dining room window and see the Rio Ruidoso and the fall scenery -- we ate all of our meals there as a family. The master bedroom had plenty of room and closet space; both bathrooms were nice. The kitchen was very nice; all sheets and towels were good. TV and internet worked great. Just right for four or five people. You can be on Meachem in like 2 minutes; and no steep hills to worry about. Figuring out which driveway it is was a little tricky the first time, but you can't beat this place. We'll definitely stay here again."

We could hear the gurgling creek throughout our stay. Deer and elk would walk along the river daily. The property has a large outdoor porch that is wonderful for gathering, dining, or simply sitting and enjoying. It is a well done property. The property has three indoor living areas, including a large game room that overlooks the river and a dining area. We had communication difficulties with the property manager. We had a toilet that was not functioning properly. The property management needs to improve their communication methods. They did not respond to a call, text message, or an email via Vrbo. The day after we checked out, we again called one of the numbers. It turns out this was a private cell phone of one of the agents. She was occupied with a move and unable to return a call or text. Apparently, we did not call the main office number. Even so, the agent needs to be in communication via the Vrbo channel. Definitely recommend the property. Not real thrilled with the management companyโ€™s lack of communication. ##### Dean F. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda C.

Plenty of room to have privacy. Bedrooms were perfect & comfortable. The large deck was great to enjoy the beautiful weather and hear the river and see many deer & elk. Loved every minute. Will definitely stay here again! ##### Missy D.

Nov 26, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful location! Very clean, great aesthetic and having the river run right behind the property was the main selling point. What a relaxing view while drinking your morning coffee or sitting in the hot tub! ##### Haylee D. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John E., EL PASO Nov 6, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxation station! A Stone's Thoreau was much better than advertised. The sound of the Rio Ruidoso is wonderful and relaxing. The hot tub was also nice on cool nights. The inside is very nice and clean; love the way you can look out the dining room window and see the Rio Ruidoso and the fall scenery -- we ate all of our meals there as a family. Master bedroom had plenty of room and closet space; both bathrooms were nice. Kitchen very nice; all sheets and towels were good. TV and internet worked great. Just right for four or five people. You can be on Meachem in like 2 minutes; and no steep hills to worry about. Figuring out which driveway it is was a little tricky the first time, but you can't beat this place. We'll definitely stay here again. ##### John E.

Iโ€™m already looking at a calendar to book our next stay. Office staff were very nice and offered to accommodate our schedule. ##### Dennis Wright ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Courtyard by Marriott Las Cruces at NMSU](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Cruces-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Las-Cruces.h33994040.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunset Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Rosa-Hotels-Sunset-Motel.h15704368.Hotel-Information) > > [Extended Stay America Suites Albuquerque Rio Rancho](https://www.expedia.ca/Albuquerque-Hotels-Extended-Stay-America-Suites-Albuquerque-Rio-Rancho.h118500.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Lobo Tipi unique stay at El Mistico Ranch](https://www.expedia.ca/Nogal-Hotels-Lobo-Tipi-Unique-Stay-At-El-Mistico-Ranch.h111376441.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel El Rancho ](https://www.expedia.ca/Gallup-Hotels-Historic-El-Rancho-Hotel.h1225197.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Socorro](https://www.expedia.ca/Socorro-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Socorro.h42168.Hotel-Information) > > [Finch Haven](https://www.expedia.ca/Taos-Hotels-Finch-Haven.h35212735.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountain-view Angel Fire Condo: Walk to Skiing](https://www.expedia.ca/Angel-Fire-Hotels-Mtn-View-Angel-Fire-Condo.h93199062.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Belen NM](https://www.expedia.ca/Belen-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Belen-NM.h42155.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa Teresa Home w/ Patio & Grill!](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Teresa-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Santa-Teresa-Home-W-Patio-Grill.h107907183.Hotel-Information) > > [Private Forest Retreat | Ruidoso Couples Escape](https://www.expedia.ca/Ruidoso-Hotels-Blue-Jays-Nest-I-Cozy-Getaway-Cabin-For-Two.h103557838.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lifts Loft - walk to Ski/Bike lift](https://www.expedia.ca/Angel-Fire-Hotels-The-Lifts-Loft-Walk-To-SkiBike-Lift.h114245686.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [A Vintage Retreat within earshot of Rio Ruidoso -10 min walk to Midtown Ruidoso.](https://www.expedia.ca/Ruidoso-Hotels-A-Vintage-Retreat-Within-Earshot-Of-Rio-Ruidoso-10-Min-Walk-To-Midtown-Ruidoso.h83696152.Hotel-Information) > > [Sleep Inn & Suites Carlsbad Caverns Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Carlsbad-Hotels-Sleep-Inn-Suites.h10100831.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Inn on La Loma Plaza](https://www.expedia.ca/Taos-Hotels-Inn-On-La-Loma-Plaza.h6177190.Hotel-Information) > > [Stunning Angel Fire Home w/ Views: 3 Mi to Slopes](https://www.expedia.ca/Angel-Fire-Hotels-Stunning-Angel-Fire-Home-3-Mi-To-Ski-Resort.h94955709.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel 6 Lordsburg, NM](https://www.expedia.ca/Lordsburg-Hotels-Motel-6-Lordsburg.h22227.Hotel-Information) > > [Tiny home Unit A in Magdalena's Center!](https://www.expedia.ca/Magdalena-Hotels-Tiny-Home-Unit-A-In-Magdalenas-Center.h111619303.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information)
