This cabin was so clean and a perfect location. Close to a walking trail and close enough to be able to drive to town. Has everything you need in it! This was my first time using Vrbo (I usually a different booking service) and they did not have the pet option to add when I booked the place. The host was super kind and helped me add it on! There is a $40 pet fee. Hot tub was perfect. :)

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!

Nice getaway
Overall we really enjoyed our stay and even saw elk and a wild horse in the mornings. We enjoyed the hot tub and quiet location. It was close to town and easy to find. It took a few minutes to understand the heaters but we got it running and warmed up. The floor plan is different: the ground floor has bedrooms and bathrooms then upstairs to get to living room and kitchen and another set of stairs leads to an office/loft space with couches and chairs. It’s a little older but had WiFi and Roku tv and any necessities we needed were provided. Overall, a great getaway and place to stay!

Cabin was wonderful. Heating and AC. Very well equipped kitchen. Smart TVs in every room that are easy to use. Walked outside to deer one morning but did not have phone in hand for pictures. Plenty of room and a ton of space for sitting and visiting. We’ll be back. Thank you Dennis for the great communication and again a great place to stay.

Impressed with how clean it was. Had some difficulty with tv. My friend wanted to watch football, but could never make it work. Probably just us as we feel challenged technologically.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
