The home was perfect! The pictures online were exactly what it looks like! The view is beautiful. Our favorite thing was feeding the wild deer and petting them! The hot tub was nice after a cold day!

Karissa, it’s shocking how friendly the wildlife is in Ruidoso. I have video of a wild horse sticking its head in my car window to say hello. Glad you enjoyed our little piece of heaven. Come back soon!
Excellent property. Views are amazing from the deck. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful Retreat
Great place to relax, while being close to local attractions. The home was like being at our own home, very well equipped. The host has it setup for family fun. Wildlife viewing was superb - deer, elk, turkey and hummingbirds!

Great place to stay! Close to shopping and restaurants and not too far from Winter Park and Ski Apache. There were deer and elk in the mornings and we also saw some wild horses. Hot tub was nice at night to relax and the propane grill was great for steak night.
We went for an anniversary vacation and were very pleased with the property, beautiful views and an awesome jacuzzi tub that has great Mountain View’s. Definitely recommend 10-10

From the owner: "Thanks, David, and great to hear you had a great time. Happy Anniversary!"
We absolutely loved our stay! The house was cozy and had everything we needed for our family of six. It had that mountain cabin feel with nice touches like heated blankets for every bed and sound machines in each room (necessary for our littles to sleep). We will definitely look to stay here in the future!

2nd time we have booked this property because the first time was great. Second time was just as enjoyable and they even added a few extra fun things to the property as well. Our family loves the cabin and we hope to keep the yearly visits to Memories Mountain as a new tradition

The house was exactly as the pictures described. It was very clean and inviting. The host even had it decorated for Christmas. It is in a nice quiet neighborhood with beautiful views and wildlife. The hot tub and deck were absolutely perfect. We definitely would stay here again. Thanks to Phillip for great communication and accommodations.

We had a wonderful stay at the “Mountain Memories Retreat”. Everything was clean & well stocked. The hot tub had the best view of all - it was so nice to sit out in it during sunset and sunrise! The owner was responsive and kind throughout the whole process. The location is great also, just a few minutes from downtown and 12 mins to the horse track. It was a perfect getaway for our family of 4.

Very nice house with great view. Shops and restaurants are close by. There were pack’n play and high chair for infant. Because my daughter has allergies, I always need clean place to stay. This place was perfectly clean. The owner was very nice and responsive when you have questions.
Communication was great. Property was one of the best I’ve booked. The house is huge and clean. Very fun with the Gnome hunt around the property. Felt like we got a great deal on it and definitely plan on booking again in the future. Our kids loved it and my spouse, who is very picky, couldn’t get over how much she liked the place. Property owner was kind and easy to get ahold of.
