New and convenient to everything Ruidoso has to offer. Perfect for families. Just as described… new and stocked with the essentials! Beds were comfy! Had extra soft blankets all over the house for those crisp cool nights! Definitely a great location with easy access to everything! About the only thing we could say is if you are a bath person it’s a small tub… but still works for those needs! Swanky and beautiful cabin! Would definitely rent again! ##### Maykin H.
