Ruidoso Cabin: Private Hot Tub & Woodsy Deck

Reviews

• Has potential

  3/5

  This cabin has a lot of potential but overall we were disappointed with the cost for what we received. The hope was not clean to standard, food on the cabinets, filthy vents, coffee pot full of moldy water. It was disappointing to feel we had to come in and clean before using anything in the kitchen, including washing all dishes before use. The owner did make it right by providing a partial refund for cleaning.

  The hot tub smelled and the cover was broken. There was only one small light that functioned on one of the back patio’s post so their area was essentially useless once the sunset. The light for the back porch didn’t even work which is a huge safety issue going up and down stairs when it’s dark and 0 lighting. This patio would be such a lovely area to spend time if they just invested a little to keep it up. There was also quite a bit of old pet feces in the yard, this should be maintained.

  Additionally, they provide very minimal supplies. We had about a half a roll of paper towels and 4 rolls of toilet paper for 10 people and 3 nights. When we requested additional toilet paper and a different coffee pot the guest contact seemed very put off. She eventually brought 3 more rolls but we never received a coffee pot.

  Essentially a lot of very minor issues to correct that would make a significant difference in guest being able to enjoy and relax at the cabin.

• Beautiful Cabin

  5/5

  The cabin was beautiful and comfortable. The bed mattresses could use replacing, other than that wonderful place to stay.
