Awesome home! Perfect in every way!

Communication was excellent from the minute we booked and throughout our stay. The home was immaculate, decorated for the fall season, and had many thoughtful amenities. We enjoyed our stay and would come back.

The house was so clean, updated with all of the right amenities! They thought of everything with this house. We absolutely loved the house. It was comfortable and had a cute porch with a fenced area for our dog. This was a great house!

The home is very well equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The owner is also very nice and made us feel welcome, the process was easy and the home is in a beautiful area surrounded by pines. We rested so much and came home renewed, thank you for everything you did to make our stay special

Always fun in Doso!

Home was exactly as advertised. Clean, convenient, and comfortable! Wifi was strong and all electronics worked seamlessly. Being on a dead end we had very little traffic so walking the dog was very safe, and the evenings were very quiet. It was great listening to the Ravens settling in for the evenings!

Mountain air, amazing house, exceptional hospitality, fantastic neighborhood

This VRBO is nothing short of exceptional! From clear communication during booking, all the way to check out, we couldn't have had a better experience! The host's hospitality shows in eveything, like a coffee corner in the kitchen and extra throw blankets in a basket. A favorite this trip was the outdoor swing and covered patio! We traveled with our dogs and found the neighborhood to be excellent for walks and sniffs. Can't wait to book again!

A great getaway

First time to Ruidoso and we wanted to bring our dogs. The home and the hostess was perfect. We stayed in a well appointed home, great furnishings with a fantastic location. After a full day of exploring it was a pleasure to come home that had everything we needed to include a fenced in backyard to play off leash with our dogs. Saw deer all the time and an elk just a few houses down the street. It was a great vacation.

everything was fantastic, great location, cute and cozy cab and appointed with everything you could need for your stay. As the listing states, the driveway is steep, we could not make the turn into the driveway so had to drive up, turn around and come back down to get up it safely without scraping. We also had to take the ball hitch off of our truck for the same reason. Other than that we loved everything about this property and had a wonderful stay!

Such a wonderful property!

We booked another property for our anniversary trip and were notified just 2 days before arrival that the reservation had to be cancelled due to a hot water heater issue. As disappointed as I was, I kept reading and the property owners offered this property as a replacement option. I can't tell you how much of a blessing it was! We absolutely loved this house and it was perfect for our anniversary! The hosts we're as gracious as can be and we loved the scenic view as we drove to the house. We cooked on the covered outdoor patio 2 nights and it had everything we needed to make us feel like we we're at home. We will 100% be back. Such a homey-warm place to stay!
