Family holiday heaven!

We had a fantastic stay with our family and my sister’s family. The house was beautifully decorated for the Christmas holidays, making it feel so warm and festive. We loved the wildlife around the property, the stunning sunrises and sunsets, and how peaceful yet convenient the location was. A truly memorable getaway—can’t wait to return!

Serene, Cozy, & Stunning

This cabin was a splendid place for our family to stay! It was gorgeous and cozy! It was VERY clean and the hot tub was a huge plus! Our favorite part was getting to see all the wildlife (deer and horses right outside the cabin). The property feels very secluded, but yet easy to get to anything you want to go to! Thanks for an amazing stay!

We had the most special week in Ruidoso for my son's senior graduation. The Deer Lover's Paradise is fantastic with scenic views! Ms. Stacy is a wonderful host and was very helpful, especially when we asked to stay an extra night. She made the process as seamless possible. Will be staying again!

Ruidoso offers much to do!
