It’s ideal for a peaceful stay for a small family like ours. It’s nestled right in the forest, which allows you to experience wildlife up close. Every detail was very well taken care of and provided, and the owner was attentive to notifications and important information via message whenever we needed it. Without a doubt, it’s worth escaping to the mountains, with a location very close to the river and the peace of nature that the city can’t offer." ##### Francisco R.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin so much! It was easy to find, charming, and home like. I've never stayed at a cabin that was SSOOO accommodating (crock pot, spices, condiments, detergent, etc.)! I bought groceries and when not skiing/shopping/or out for dinner, we were hanging out at the cabin. Our 7 year old felt like it was home away from home. We saw Elk, Deer, and Wild Horses in the neighborhood! This was much needed time relaxing as a family. I could tell through our very limited interactions that the Chambers are great people, very kind and generous. Thank you for making this experience one we will not forget!

There are homes all around; so it's private property. You have to drive out to the trails. I contacted the owner about hiking from their back yard, but never heard from them. Place was cute. Bathroom was tiny, tub had dead bugs in it. And the shelves, fixtures were dusty which set off my allergies. The hot tub was a plus. ##### Michelle H.

Every aspect of our stay was stellar. The location is the best in Ruidoso in my opinion. All properties in the area are nice and well kept. This one backs up to the mountain forest, and we saw a variety of wildlife from the private deck. The place was incredibly clean, and simply has everything you need in all aspects. The owner was SO nice and an absolute pleasure to chat with leading up to our stay. For the quality and location of this place, I consider it to be an oustanding value. Having stayed at dozens and dozens of VRBOs since 2007, this property gets my #1 favorite pick. I look forward to returning to this property down the road. A+++++! ##### Vincent S.

We were there mid-August. Daytime temperatures in the upper 70’s to low 80’s. Temperatures at our home in West Texas were above 100\. 111 one day. Never used a/c. Went out to eat at some great restaurants. Also grilled at the cabin. I can’t really think of anything I would do to improve our experience. Almost forgot to mention the great screened in porch. We’ll be back. This was our second time there. ##### Stanley S.

It is entirely possible that our expectations for this property were unreasonably high, so how did it manage to exceed them? The location is phenomenal- a canyon cabin at the base of a wilderness area, surrounded by properties that have been in the same families for generations. There is a real sense of community if you choose to engage with others, but equally a sense of privacy & solitude when that is what you prefer. The LOVE that the Crawfords have for this cabin is so evident & the work they have done to restore and maintain it is impressive. The entire back of the property opens to a wilderness area full of deer, turkey, elk & wild horses. If you are a bird nerd (like me) I can happily say I saw several that were first time views here AND even got to hear a short bit of Western Whippoorwill song. It was magical. We didn’t spend a ton of time inside because outside you have an elevated deck with a terrific view of the surrounds, a hot tub (which we didn’t get to use THIS time) & a screened in porch that connects to the bedroom. But the inside is very comfortable and VERY cozy with big beautiful windows all the way around, a lovely bed and a nicely updated kitchen. Apparently I only have 1500 characters to wrap this up SO- Cindi is an incredibly gracious host, the property is as close to perfect as I believe possible and you should stop reading this & book it for yourself. It is hands down one of our favorite places we’ve ever stayed & we can’t wait to come back! ❤️ ##### Richard S.
