    We stayed in King Richard for 2 nights. Our service dog was welcome which pleased us. This is an old, quaint and sweet cabin.

    Inn Of The Mountain Gods Resort And Casino - Beautiful view

    Inn Of The Mountain Gods Resort And Casino

    4 Stars - A High-Desert Blackjack Fever Dream…read more There are casinos, and then there are casinos that feel like a mildly hallucinogenic roadside poem written at 7,500 feet above sea level. This is the latter. The blackjack tables here are loose in that beautiful way that makes a gambler feel briefly chosen by the gods. Chips slide, cards slap the felt, and the dealers and pit bosses carry a refreshing lack of casino stiffness. Nobody's breathing down your neck like a tax auditor of sin. The vibe is relaxed, almost conspiratorial--like the whole room knows we're all here for the same ridiculous dance with probability. Two dealers deserve special mention. Makaila runs a table like a jazz drummer--smooth, quick, unflustered. June, meanwhile, is a delightful menace. She enjoys tricking players into thinking she's pulled a blackjack. She'll pause, squint, grin, and for a brief moment the table collectively experiences a small existential crisis before she reveals the truth. It's performance art disguised as card dealing. The hotel itself sits out in Mescalero, right beside Ruidoso, overlooking the calm waters of Mescalero Lake--a high-desert lake that looks especially poetic when the mountain air hits your lungs like cold champagne. At 7,500 feet elevation, the place has that crisp alpine quiet that makes you feel like you've wandered into some strange mountain monastery... except the monks are holding blackjack chips. Inside, the casino is modern, comfortable, and easy to navigate. Outside? The parking lot is a bit ugly--like a sun-baked asphalt lizard. But it's shaded, which in the high desert counts as a civic virtue. The crowd is mostly reasonable. Sure, every casino has a few characters who appear to have been assembled from spare parts and bad decisions--but overall the patrons were friendly. I even noticed quite a few young women comfortably playing at the tables, which usually means the atmosphere hasn't drifted too far into creep territory. The rooms are spacious and many have great views of the lake, which adds a peaceful counterpoint to the card-table chaos downstairs. And if you're the adventurous type, there's a disc golf course nearby plus plenty of walking trails along the lake. It's a nice way to clear your head after battling the dealer and the laws of mathematics. One practical note: Hydrate like a camel preparing for a desert opera. The air here is dry enough to turn a raisin back into a grape. Would I come back? Absolutely. Between the mountain air, the laid-back blackjack, and the occasional theatrical dealer mind-game, it's a wonderfully strange little high-desert gambling outpost. Four stars. Bring water. Bring luck. And keep an eye on June's face when she peeks at that second card.

    The hotel and room were very nice. Far exceeded our expectations. The views were lovely…read more The "blond haired witch" that evidently is the manager for the very upscale restaurant and bar was rude, condescending, and over the top. We were unaware of a private event being held in the bar. The bartenders fixed our drinks and she let us all know that a private event was starting. Why wasn't this advertised? Why was she screaming at everyone to leave. "Go outside!" "Finish your drinks there." Well, several of us did attempt that. Not only was there a LARGE oversized DOG on the patio (I'm extremely allergic and I doubt it was a service animal) but someone else was also SMOKING out there. Did she address either of those issues? So we took our pricey drinks to our room. When we came back down at 7 the area was packed, Smokey (?) and chaotic. The bars in the rest of the hotel/casino don't compare with this one. Why wasn't the extremely over priced restaurant opened to the private party instead of the bar which many of us wanted to utilize yet couldn't. The restaurant was nearly empty. The night prior when I inquired about reservations she told me to go to Open Table. "Do you utilize Open Table? Just go there." OK. I do. But why couldn't she take our reservation? What a piece of work. Our breakfasts and bar tenders in the Broken Arrow were fabulous! It was obvious they were locals and took pride in their job. Was interested in the spa but there were no price sheets available. Was told to "look online" but still couldn't access the information. So I didn't "spa it." We don't gamble but came for the ambience, the food and drinks, and the scenery. We will come back. Hopefully Blondie will be GONE! Y'all can do so much better. ###

    Where can you find Texans during a heatwave? If you guessed anywhere, but Texas, you would be…read morecorrect. It's a mere 9 hour drive from Dallas, but a visit to Ruidoso, New Mexico, especially during the cruel summer months is well worth the price of gas. The Dan Dee Cabins are independently-standing log cabins tucked among tall pine trees and nestled against a hill. The cabins feature a queen-sized bed in a private bedroom; a living room with a wood-burning fire, a couch, recliner, and TV; a dining area with a table and chairs; a full-sized bathtub with shower head, sink, and toilet; a fully functioning kitchen with an oven, stove, microwave, full-sized fridge, freezer; and cabinets stocked with flatware and cookware. There is no dishwasher, but dish soap is provided as well as a drying rack. The temperatures here will be much lower than anywhere else in Texas. However, it is nice to know that each cabin has A/C. Some had window units, but ours had a full system. We used it and enjoyed it immensely because 89, though cooler than 108, was still not cool enough for our liking. Although the cabins provide all of the creature comforts you might need, they are dated. Think late 70s. Everything is old and run down, but functional. It might remind you of hanging out with your great grand parents. There is a one way drive through the property. The path is gravel based and beyond that you will be walking among grass, dirt and pine cones. Bring sturdy shoes for getting around. There is free WiFi, but it can be difficult to access from some cabins. It is somewhat slow. You might prefer to bring your own MiFi device or just use your phone. My T-mobile had a good signal here. The drive into town is very close. You could walk, but it is a few miles on a busy road. Albertsons grocery store is very close in addition to several restaurants and cafes. You can drive to Ski Apache, Inn of the Mountain God Casino, as well as the Monjeau Lookout. All will take about 45 minutes to get to due to steep climbs and winding mountain roads. You are likely to see wild horses, deer, and other wildlife. Hiking trails are all around. You don't have to travel far to find one and the Ranger Station downtown will provide you a free map. You can also just sit on the porch of your cabin and enjoy the serenity of being in a beautiful, wooded getaway. It was just what I needed to relax and rejuvenate.

    We planned on staying in Ruidoso for one night. I found a list of cabins online (on a website with…read moreinfo on ruidoso and of course they posted all the expensive ones first. I actually only found Dan dee off google instead of that website with the list of cabins) and called for about 45 Minutes. Every one of them either wouldn't answer, were completely full, too big of a cabin for our family of 3, didn't have anything available - and if they did, it was way too expensive for just one night. We wanted something simple but was nice for just one night. I almost gave up and then called Dan Dee cabins. The lady was so nice from the start, and the price was so reasonable! We got the studio cabin because it was the perfect size we needed. I believe it was $112 after tax. There was a fireplace, coffee pot, and we stayed right behind the playground area which was PERFECT for our one year old. I wish we knew there was a hot tub, we got there just before it closed. Anytime we go back to ruidoso, we plan on staying here! No complaints! There is also a grill outside. Visit ruidoso if you have the chance! Beautiful place & did not disappoint
