Enjoyable Stay at Northstar
During our one stay at Northstar, we found the property exactly as described in Vrbo. It was well and thoughtfully supplied with everything we could possibly have needed to make our stay enjoyable and relaxing. We would highly recommend it and intend to return there again in the future.

Couples golfing getaway
Our group of four all loved the cabin. The cabin was the perfect size for our party and had everything we needed. The property was clean inside and out. The jacuzzi and fire pit was the perfect touch. Thank you, we will definitely be renting again in the future.

Great Stay!
Right from the start, the host was very communicative and friendly. The property far exceeded our expectations. The house was very clean and had everything we could ask for. The location was great considering we had pets with immediate access to undeveloped areas. This also yielded amazing wildlife views right outside our windows. We would definitely book this property again!

Cabin w country feel in city
This cabin was fantastic for our 9 day stay. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. You feel like you're in the country it's so quiet, but you're close to everything. We saw elk once and deer almost daily. We will definitely keep it on the list for future stays.

If you want a house close to everything, this rental is great! The host has done a fantastic job setting up the inside so everything is convenient as well - there wasn’t anything we needed that they didn’t think of. The home was very clean and organized. Great value for the money!

Nice Cabin attention to details were great!
We enjoyed our stay at Northern Star. We enjoyed the location in the mountains, the trails and the wildlife that frequented by every evening. The hottub and firepit were a nice touch to enjoy the evenings on the property. Very quite and relaxing place. Beds were comfortable, cabin very clean, kitchen well stocked and the attention to details for any questions we could of had were adressed within the property. Would definatly stay here again.

Great place to stay in Ruidosa
We had a great time at this cabin. It’s in a great location close to grocery store and restaurants. Just a short walk up from the house you can find some great trails and amazing views of surrounding mountains. The host did an amazing job. Everything we needed was at the house. They went above and beyond to provide great instructions. Highly recommend staying here

Truly Fully Stocked
Lovely cabin, plenty of rustic without sacrificing amenities. We soaked in the hot tub and enjoyed visits from deer while doing so. The kitchen is truly fully stocked--something that isn't always the case and is important for those of us who plan to cook. Great location is walking distance to the Cedar Creek trail system but also close to town.

A Mountain Get Away
The cabin was perfectly situated; the shampoo and conditioner dispensers were a great touch and there were an amplitude of heating options. There are trails around the area, which were great for walking dogs. There were great views of both the mountain range and the wildlife, like deer and elk. The cabin was also in a great spot. It was easy to get to both Ski Apache and Downtown Ruidoso. This cabin was a wonderful place to come back to after skiing or visiting town. Great experience and the perfect getaway!!

Cool temps & Hot tub
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Norther Star. The hot tub & fire pit were AMAZING! We had great WiFi and television reception. The amenities were more than adequate. The host was gracious to inform us about stairs. We navigated them with little difficulty. The cabin was clean and easy to access upon arrival. Great dining nearby and several grocery stores for food items. Thank you for a relaxing, cool and rainy vacay.

The cabin to stay at in Ruidoso
My family and I stayed here during a weekend baseball tournament. I must say...it was clean, quaint, quiet and comfy. The hosts were excellent at communicating and thought of everything. They make it easy, so you can enjoy your stay stress-free. Although we didn't get a chance to use the fire pit, we really enjoyed our evening in the hot tub. Seeing the Deer/Doe made it extra special. We would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend the Northstar. Thank you Dennis and Donna.

What a beautiful, peaceful getaway
This is a very cool 3 story cabin surrounded by trees. It was beautiful and peaceful. We saw elk out the window. It's close to town but feels isolated! My daughter (26) and I had a great time running around town as well as hiking and rock hounding. It was a great vacation in a really cool cabin. Dennis was wonderful with communication and just a text away. I highly reccomend this cabin in Ruidoso!
