Host was wonderful and answered any questions we had. The home was clean well supplied and was close to everything. We would definitely stay here again!
LOVED our fabulous stay at Gertie's Getaway. The location is scenic and peaceful. The accommodations were perfect so that everyone had their own space. Clean, homey, and charming condo. We will recommend and definitely stay again.

This is the perfect place for one or two couples -- very quaint. The upstairs is quite spacious. We cooked dinner every evening -- the kitchen has a great set-up and is well-stocked. Great location. Definitely will visit again!!

Thanks, Mary. You guys were a treat to host as well. See you again soon :)
Plenty of room for our family of 6. So many little touches added to make us feel at home. Stocked coffee bar, Brita pitcher in fridge, FULLY stocked kitchen (pots, utensils, etc), large array of spices, pancake mix and syrup…! The back patio with twinkling lights made it so inviting. It is very quiet, even though most units around us were occupied. we look forward to coming back soon!
We loved the property and dealing with Cathy was wonderful. Watching the sun set on the patio was fantastic,. This place has everything you need for a stay away from home. Location is great too. You can’t go wrong with this place.
Our crew loved Gerties Getaway! Cathy was a great host - her home has all the details that make traveling easier (nightlights, pack-n-play, washing machine, etc). Cathy was easy to get in touch with and we'd definitely recommend her place!
Gertie's Getaway exceeded our expectations! As soon as we opened the door, it felt like home. It had everything you need, including a magnetic LED light for the grill. Great location & the views were awesome! Heard elk bugling in the mornings not far from the cabin.
Cathy was quick to respond & help in any we she could!
We are going to tell family & friends about this one and can't wait to go back!

Thank, Ladies, for choosing Gertie’s for your Getaway :) loved hosting you and I appreciate the little decorating favor you did for me too. Hope to see you soon.
Very quiet and comfortable. Needed one more dinning chair for six people.

Thanks, Elsie! I'm glad things were comfortable. We are in the process of getting benches for the dining table so we can easily accommodate more people around the table. Thanks for the heads up and I'll grab a folding chair to put in it the room until the bench comes in.
The condo we rented was well maintained and had everything you would need for a great time. Linens and towels were clean and smelled fresh(a must for me). Each bedroom and bathroom was lovely, well decorated and the beds were so comfortable. Kitchen stocked with everything you could possibly need for meal prep ( I hate waiting in long lines for meals). The kitchen is pretty, has wonderful dish sets and pots n pans of all kinds, even storage containers . The owner has definitely thought of everything. Good for a teenager with TV'S, card and board games. Wifi is strong and a must in today's busy world. Cathy is a wonderful hostess. I highly recommend staying here and if available will stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Cathy Fleck
My husband and I are avid travelers. We understand what makes the difference between a place to stay and a place to remember. It’s the extra touches of unexpected that surprise and delight. My grandkids call me Gertie, hence the name Gertie’s Getaway. We also have a vacation rental on the island of Kauai. Home is West Texas so a retreat in the mountains and one on the beach is a perfect combo. Gotta cover all those bases!
Why they chose this property
When looking for a property in Ruidoso we wanted to focus on a place that was inviting, convenient to town and just felt "right". It was also important for us to find a place that was going to be easy for us to maintain since we don't live full time in Ruidoso. Condo life was perfect for that purpose. The unit is an end unit, quiet and has easy parking. The view from the bedroom balcony helped seal the deal. In the winter, the snow cap on Sierra Blanca is so gorgeous.
What makes this property unique
Gertie’s Getaway isn’t just another condo. It’s the attention to details. The little things. I’ve stocked the kitchen with extra things. I’ve tried to make Gertie’s feel like home. I love a little light hearted humor and our decor expresses that.
