Ruidoso is an alpine mountain community. Expect twisty roads with steep grades. The weather is unpredictable and changes quickly. Elevation can vary between 6000’ to almost 12,000’. Most homes are multi-level with stairs on inclined lots. Expect wildlife to hinder traffic flow. Do not be surprised if the power goes out or when you lose internet or cell phone connection. This is the mountains, and it happens. We encourage guests be prepared with access to chains or 4-wheel drive in winter months for all our properties. This is not the big city. Life is easier and slower paced and more wonderful. This is why we come and why we stay. Relax and enjoy your time in paradise.

Relaxtion Station
The property had some old furniture that needed replacing. The TVs didn't work, but Destiny remedied This after two days. The family complained that it wasn't very clean upon arrival. It also needs more lighting. I like news and watch FOX NEWS and it wasn't available.

Do not recommend for large groups
The location on the listing was not where the house actually was. There were used diapers on the porch from the previous guest when we arrived. I messaged the host and never got a response. You are not allowed to have 4 cars in the driveway (which is hard when the listing says it can sleep 14 people). Furniture is old and fixing to break. Other than that the house was nice and located in a nice area (even though it’s not what we paid for)

Hot tub was dirty upon arrival, my parents didn’t feel like they needed to bother anyone so they just didn’t use it and are now getting charged for something the previous renters damaged. Some of the beds were broken as well.

Expectations not met…
We arrived right at check-in time for a three night stay. We walked into a very dated, dirty house with TERRIBLE mattresses. We continued to find things all weekend. Broken furniture, broken window blinds, trash under the beds, TVs that don’t work. They only provide 1 extra trash bag and 4 (half used) rolls of toilet paper for a house intended for 14 people (our group had 11). All of the mattress were so hard they were almost unsleepable. Imagine going skiing/snowboarding and coming back to a rock to sleep on. It wasn’t all bad—- the one TV that worked was nice for Netflix and the couch was comfy. The (very dated) appliances all worked (be prepared to dry a load of clothes at least twice). The hot tub was wonderful after a day of skiing. A few things I think the owners should consider- new mattress, an additional dining table as it only seats 6, a TV in the upstairs bedroom, a better cleaning company, the TV fixed in the dining room, a bundle of fire wood, a fire pit for outdoor use. I would not recommend.

Peaceful Place to stay for a Conference
We had a group of ladies stay here while we attended a conference. It was the perfect place to unwind and spend a quiet few hours between sessions relaxing on the back porch. The wildlife all around was a wonderful addition. With a lot of women staying, having 4 clean bathrooms to get ready was priceless! Such a great place!

Great Family Cabin
Wildlife come up onto the property, so be careful with the little ones getting too close! The scenery is beautiful. The cabin was comfortable. The hot tub was clean. There were several dirty dishes that had been placed into the cabinets possibly by previous guests and the tv remotes had dead batteries so we were unable to use the tv for the kids…. But other than that our experience was great and we would stay again. Definitely bring laundry detergent as it was the only product not provided.

Great place to stay
We enjoyed our stay and would recommend. Place was clean and large enough to spread out. Really loved the hot tub and 4 bathrooms, especially for a group of 14! We've stayed in lots of places and this one is definitely in top 3. It had everything we needed plus more.

Very disappointed…
First off, the address given in packet was wrong… the house is a ways further up the road than where gps took us.. the sign on the property was tiny and hidden behind the dumpsters… spent a long time trying to find the house in the dark… tried calling the office number and after hours numbers provided and nobody ever answered or called back. The after hours number went directly to voicemail.. didn’t ring at all! Could not get ahold of them at all!!! The name of the house listed “Relaxation station” was nowhere to be found out in front of the house. The sign posted outside said “Little Bear Cabin”…. The house had an older weird smell.. it is a little out dated on one side and upstairs. The other side was nice but the master bathroom shower was gross! Felt dirty and grimy…we had to do some cleaning before showering. There was a razor cover and an open bottle of shampoo in the shower as well. The hot tub was not working and looked like it hadn’t been working for a while.. the tv in the dining room also did not work. The patio furniture in the front was absolutely terrible! Couldn’t sit on most of the furniture at all. For some reason there were instructions on the air conditioning but there is not air conditioning in the house. The house isn’t terrible. We were very disappointed in the help of the property managers with wrong information given and not answering or returning calls!

Great Potential - Needs Some Work
The layout of the house was great with lots of sleeping options. We really enjoyed the area and were able to see wildlife each morning (Deer, Elk, Turkeys, Squirrels, Birds). A couple of our party even got to see a bear cross the road while walking one morning. The communication with the management team was good and no issues there. There were, however, quite a few things that could be improved that would have taken our review from a 3 star to 5 star: 1. The Air Conditioner didn't work and the house got really hot as it was 90+ degrees each day we were there. The nights and mornings were tolerable, but we couldn't stay in the house during the day. 2. The hot tub was broken and unusable, which was one of the primary reasons we booked this location. The kids were disappointed in that. 3. We enjoyed sitting on the patio each morning, but the furniture could definitely use some updating. The deck also needs to be refinished as there are some nails sticking up in places. 4. The cabin in general could use some deep cleaning. Especially the master shower. 5. Like others have mentioned, the location of the cabin listing is much further from where the cabin is actually located. It shows as right by downtown, but is nowhere close to that. This was not a negative thing for us, but I could see where that would frustrate some people. 6. The TV volume did not work.
