Beautiful cabin! Plenty of room for the family! Great game room! Bathrooms a little outdated. Very well stocked. Truly enjoyed our stay. Will definitely stay again!!
We had a nice time, the only complaint was that the WiFi did not work, we reported it upon arrival but never received a response.

We're so happy to hear you had an enjoyable stay at Bear Hill Cabin and thank you for your review! The homeowner would like to apologize for the ethernet outage in the local area which might have affected the home's WiFi during your stay. We have checked with the local cable and ethernet service provider and everything is back in working order. The homeowners have also updated the contact information so they can respond faster to guest communication. We hope you'll keep Evolve in mind for your future vacation rental needs!

We had a great time at Bear Hill Cabin. The house was festively decorated with over 162 bears (our kids had a blast trying to count them all) and was very cozy. This is a great location if you plan on visiting White Sands. We went there 3 times for sand sledding. The town of Ruidoso is convenient from this cabin, too with nearby restaurants and shopping. The game room was perfect for the kids and adults alike.
My wife ended up with little bites all over her and turns out it is from bed bugs!!

Justin, the homeowner would like to share the following message:
"Thank you for your feedback and the opportunity to talk to you and your wife concerning your stay. I was happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay overall. We take all complaints very seriously and we want to assure you that we have procedures and high standards in place to ensure the comfort and safety of all our guests. Because of the high standards we set for ourselves, we are truly sorry to hear about your concern with the potential bed bugs. We immediately had our property inspected by a professional exterminator. The exterminator informed us that he was not able to find any evidence of infestation or live bed bugs in the home. We still chose to have the calendar blocked and had the property professionally treated to ensure that the home is free of any pests. We hope that the prompt response to you and your wife and the measures taken help make up for the inconvenience you experienced. We appreciate and want to thank you once again for the opportunity to address this issue."

The cabin was okay.. It looked nicer in the pictures. The thing I didn't like where the stairs they are small you can't go up carrying something because you won't fit and it was hard because my grand baby was months old so to carry him on his carrier or stroller we had to go through the outside and it was in December so it was cold... So if you have small kids those stairs are no no... Communication was good and easy to check in and out...
It was a relaxing place but with plenty of fun to do right in the home with the kids. The game room was fantastic, and we had the best family time. We also got to see so much wildlife just hanging out by the property. The hot tub was well maintained and relaxing at the end of the evening. Highly recommend this property.

Graduation celebration
My daughter recently graduated from university and wanted to stay at a cabin in Ruidoso. She didn’t want a big party just some quiet time with family to celebrate. It was a beautiful weekend and our stay was relaxing.
We had a wonderful family vacation. The home was just what we were looking for. The game room downstairs for the kids and still plenty of upstairs room for adults, plus a hot tub. Everyone was comfortable. The wildlife was amazing. Elk every day and deer that come right up to the house! We highly recommend and will always try to stay at this home.
Pictures were a little misleading of property. Bathrooms were not real clean.
Overall fine and ok, but bathrooms were not real clean.

Hi Kimberly, we're glad you enjoyed your visit here overall but sorry to hear that you felt the bathrooms were not clean. We have shared your feedback with the homeowner, who assured us that she will address this with her housekeeper. Thanks for letting us know about your stay!
Very easy, non-contact reservation, check-in, and check-out. Our stay was very relaxing; we spent the entire 3 days in the cabin enjoying the game room and hot tub. There’s a great hike 1/2 mile away too (Perk Canyon).
amazing stay. The cabin was very well decorated, kept clean, all appliances worked. The location is a great area and very beautiful. Highly recommend this property.
House was dirty, bed sheets were really dirty, bathroom rugs smelled of dog urine, house smelled. Check in maids had us wait about 40 min til after check in time because house was still not ready. We had to put all the towels up because they were left in the dryer for us to put up ourselves. House did have everything that was listed, but pictures were really deceiving. Would not stay here again!!

Kathy, while we appreciate and welcome constructive feedback, we don't believe this rating is warranted. The Bear Hill Cabin has a check-in time of after 4 p.m., and your party arrived at 3 p.m. Because of this, the cleaners were put under a time crunch so that they could promptly allow you access to the property. The cleaners were also able to confirm that the sheets were clean, and replaced on all the beds. The towels were all washed, and dried, and a second load was put in the dryer to ensure you would have extra towels for your stay. The cabin is also exactly as pictured online so that travelers can make their own decisions regarding whether this is the right home for them before booking. As is evidenced by the many great reviews, this owner is accustomed to providing 5-star experiences, and we feel confident future travelers will have exceptional stays. Best, the Evolve Team

NICE CABIN
EVERYTHING IN THE CABIN WAS GREAT, ONLY ISSUE WE HAD WAS WITH THE LOCK CODE. WE WAITED AN HOUR BEFORE WE COULD ACCESS THE CABIN. INFORMATION THAT WAS GIVEN WAS INCORRECT AND THE NUMBER ON OUR EMAIL FOR CONTACT PERSON NEVER PICKED UP. ALSO STAIRS ARE VERY NARROW AND NOT SAFE FOR SMALL CHILDREN.
We enjoyed staying here. It was very clean. Each of the three couples were able to have their privacy and then we enjoyed the recreation room together to socialize.

Awesome Cabin - Especially for Large Families
We decided to head to Ruidoso for Christmas this year with our three boys and both sets of grandparents. This was the absolute perfect place for us! The game room downstairs was great for our kids and allowed the adults to stay upstairs in a little more quiet space. Plenty of room for everyone, and the proximity to town/skiing/shopping was perfect. If your'e thinking about staying in Ruidoso, stay here.

The hot tub was a very popular place to be! The house has everything you need. Very clean. The game room was a hit. We saw deer and turkeys from the upper deck. We will definately stay there again!

Nice property. Lots of amenities and close to town.
Bear Hill Cabin is very nice and has lots of amenities (pool table, card table, foosball table and hot tub). Also has a grill but didn’t get to use it due to burn ban. Would definitely recommend!
