The cabin was exactly as the pictures depicted. It was well stocked and extremely clean. Plenty of games, everything you could possibly need for the kitchen, and grill tools as well. The separate cottage allowed for privacy and was close to parking without any steps. We are already planning to rent this lovely home again.
They let us check in early which was very accommodating! The front door keypad was a bit tricky but easy once you found the numbers on the digital keypad. I wished the hot tub had been heated prior to our arrival because it took a day to heat up. Smoker was not maintained properly so we had to clean the bottom portion of the smoker & the ash tray on it because it was so compacted with old pellet ash. Firepit looked super nice, but it is propane and you have to provide your own propane so we did not use it. Lots of cool amenities, just not advertised very well and a little misleading for a planned trip. But overall beautiful property, super easy checkout, beautiful & peaceful views with beautiful wildlife, And great communication!

From the Owner: "Thank you for your feedback. We agree that the electric BBQ grill, while originally intended to benefit guests, proved to be more trouble than it was worth. We're happy to share that a new propane grill is now available on the property.
Although our renters’ manual notes that propane is not provided for the fire pit, we recognize it would be helpful to make that clear in the property listing as well. We'll be updating the listing information to reflect that.
Regarding the hot tub, please note that it is kept warm at all times for guest convenience. I’m happy to provide the maintenance report, which includes the water temperature recorded at the time of service."
This property not only met our expectations, but exceeded them. Clean, ample space, and with all the amenities needed for a stay. Picturesque views with friendly neighbors, and quiet after 10pm. Great communication. Will definitely rebook again and highly recommend this property .

We were a little skeptical to book this property since there wasn't any reviews on Evolve. We found it on VRBO which eased our minds. There were only two of us so we didn't use the extra cabin, but that would be a good place for a couple of kids or another couple.
It is very convenient to Inn of Mt. Gods, race track, and barely off the main road. Grindstone lake and trails are just around the corner.
There could be some difficulty in the winter because the road up to the house is fairly steep.
We didn't experience any of the smells that were talked about on VRBO.
The hot tub was great in the evenings. It is fairly private. Wish there was some way to turn off some of the outside lights. We used the fire pit every morning and evening. We exchanged the propane bottle which was very easy.
The kitchen is well equipped. We used the pellet grill for steaks one evening which was great.
The only thing we didn't ever figure out is the thermostat would go to some set temp after we would leave in the mornings. It would be a little stuffy when we returned, but it didn't take long to cool back down. We also didn't ask if that could be changed.
We would stay here again the next time we visit Ruidoso.
