    Ruidoso Mountain View Cabin Rentals

    The cabin itself has wonderful views. Our stay was less than desirable as the host of these cabins…read morehas posted signs everywhere stating amounts of money you will be charged if you break a rule. The concern that something might go wrong lingered the entire trip. We left the cabin in excellent condition and have a video of the condition it was left in. After our stay the Owner of the cabin left a review stating we had left trash and removed smoke detectors and batteries from the rental. I contacted the host to inquire about the review and offer our proof that what she was saying was untrue. She was unwilling to view the proof we had and investigate further as her information was coming from people she had hired to clean after we left. I reviewed her interactions with other guests when they had less than perfect reviews she has a history of being slanderous towards them. Please save yourself the headache, there are plenty of other places to stay in Ruidoso. Keep this one off of your list.

    From the owner: Our moto "Dont settle for anything less than a mountain view" When renting a cabin in Ruidoso…read more Ruidoso is a mountain town!

    Village Lodge - Ants on counter

    We will not stay here again. We wanted to support a local place, but this place was the wrong…read morechoice. Their online photos are not the unit we got. The best qualities of the unit we got were the bed, the pillows, the fireplace and the tile in the bathroom shower. It was dirty to the point I was wishing I had sanitizing wipes to clean with, and I used hand sanitizer to clean the toilet handle, bathroom sink knobs, and bathroom light switch. The floor had dust and dead bugs all around the edges. I washed two bowls to eat breakfast in and got two forks out to wash them (this before we ate) noticed a dirty spoon and knife in the drawer. The furniture was broken down. The "recliner " footrest would not stay elevated. The bedroom dresser drawers were hanging at different angles. There was no heat-February still gets cold nights in NM. I was cold all night under the thin bedding and there was no extra bedding.

    Village Lodge is a clean, comfortable spot to stay in Ruidoso and I think that if we weren't…read morelooking for a cabin experience next time, we'd probably stay again. PROS: The price was right and I felt like I was staying in a condo rather than in a hotel room. There are benches or rocking chairs outside of each door, a water fountain and sitting area on the bottom floor and an overall safe and friendly environment. Everything we needed was provided in the unit. There is a stove top, microwave, coffee pot w/coffee and a mini fridge that is actually much larger than a typical mini fridge. The stove top and mini fridge are definitely outdated but they work! Great shower with super hot water - be careful! Very comfortable living room to relax and watch TV. CONS: Despite there being wifi, we couldn't access it because we were never given a password. The front office was closed and we knew the person operating the office lived behind it in her own unit but the hours we were there (early morning, late night - we were out exploring the rest of the time) didn't coincide with what we thought were reasonable hours for her. Providing a wifi password should be part of check in. Our check in consisted of picking up an envelope with a key and a map in it. Wouldn't be hard to provide the wifi password in that envelope. Very, very soft mattress that dipped in the middle which led to both my husband and I waking up to an aching back both mornings.

    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. ###

    I have stayed in several hotels/motels with my work and this was the absolute worst place I have…read moreever stayed. Below are a list of pros and cons to this sham of a lodge. Unfortunately the cons are all things that are advertised and this location failed at OR has advertised and never actually offered. These people seem very nice but will try smooth talk you while stabbing you in the back. Some of the most two-faced property owners I have ever met. Con- 1. Wifi did not work at all (very important to have when you are somewhere new, in the mountains, and can't figure how to get anywhere) 2. There was no TV in the room and when they brought one up, they expected my wife and I to set it up to their network and update it. 3. The Hottub, in out bathroom, did not work and had not been properly chem serviced or had its filter replaced, in quite some time. It was absolute chaos for the maintenance man that didn't know what he was doing to begin with. 4. We were there for a 1 night stay and maintenance was in our room for 4 hours trying to fix that damn hottub. 5. The room temp was in the 90's throughout the night and there was no temp control at all. Even with the windows open... IN DECEMBER... wasn't enough to bring the temp down. Despite the room being so hot, the bathroom stayed in the 50's throughout the night due to the hottub chilling the surrounding air. 6. Our room was connected to the main section of the house so you can hear everything that goes on in the building at all hours. We could hear the owners conversation on the floor below us! 7. No advertised Spa treatments 8. If you have any issues, the owners WILL screen your calls and will refuse to answer. 9. The owner "offered" us a free night in the larger cabin, which he has now revoked. 10. Owner will talk about offering you a refund but it will never actually occur. We got home and Travelocity told us he had refused a partial refund that there was nothing they can do. Pro- 1. Wild Horses that roam the grounds in the mornings. 2. Breakfast served in the shared kitchen If you want to be miserable and lose your hard earned money, stay at this hell-hole. Hope this helps someone have a better stay in Ruidoso than we did.
