Definitely 5 stars! The house definitely had a welcoming vibe and our whole family loved being there. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of pillows and blankets, which I think is always a bonus. All the small extra things were great - extra towels, dishes, kitchen items, etc. And the back deck and river were amazing!

So much nicer than the pics!

Gorgeous area close to everything. Home has been updated since pics were taken, no carpet, and plenty of room for the family. Big comfy beds and so much wildlife! We had deer and elk all over the front and back yard. So peaceful. Would definitely stay there again.

Recommend this beautiful cabin!!

Awesome place to spend vacation time with your family. Great river view and perfect location on Ruidoso NM. This is the second time we go, the first time was on Christmas week where the place is beautiful as the Main Street is full with Christmas spirit, you're able to see Clydesdale horses rides as well. Recommend this beautiful cabin!!

Excellent cabin in the mountains

We loved staying here. The river in the backyard is great and serene. The cabin is cozy and spacious. It was well equipped and it even had a wood burning fireplace. The location is also close to everything, but just away to not feel in the middle of all the action.
