We really enjoyed our stay. It is a beautiful cabin with a great view. They have stocked it with everything you could need. The hot tub was wonderful after a day of mountain biking. The biking trails were great and it was great to be able to bike in and out to the trails from the cabin. We would definitely stay here again.

If you want to escape the crowds found at the base of Angel Fire, this place is excellent. Ski-in/out works perfectly. The property is great for all ages; our grandkids enjoyed all the games offered, the parentals enjoyed the fireplace.

The location of this house is set up high in the mountains so the views are so beautiful! The house was perfect for my family of 5 and our friends who stayed with us a few of the days. The kitchen was excellent and it was such a nice surprise to have so many staples already in the home. We would definitely stay here again and again when we visit angel fire again to mountain bike or ski!

Great ski cabin

We loved this cabin! Beautiful and just the right size for a small family. We were able to ski in and ski out to "Headin' Home" which made the weekend very convenient. The hosts were extremely communicative and helpful even though we stayed through Christmas Eve. They were attentive via text, everything was provided and clean and ready to go when we arrived. Thanks for a great stay, we'll definately come again!

Peaceful Forest Getaway

This is the location if you are looking for a peaceful place above the tree line. We found everything we needed in the kitchen. Evenings in the hot tub amongst the stars were incredible. Sitings of deer, elk, and turkeys were a common daily experience in this location. I highly recommend this location and property.

Perfect family getaway

My family and I had a great weekend in Angel Fire staying in this property. The hot tub was hot and ready after our days skiing. The ski in/ski out was manageable and easier than driving down the mountain. The home was stocked with nice toilet paper and paper towels. Sometimes, it’s the little things! It was nice not to have to think about things like spices and dishwashing liquid. Our boys loved all the games. Highly recommend!

Great Mountain Retreat

We loved staying here! It was secluded and a beautiful location. We saw deer regularly from the balcony. The property manager was very responsive about any issues or questions we had. The house is tastefully decorated. The kids (and adults) had fun with all the games, shuffleboard and foosball. Make sure you don’t leave food in your car, we did have a bear come visit one night.
