By Malinda, Posted: 08/03/2023This house worked out perfectly for our family of 18! Plenty of space, beautiful location and equipped with all we needed. We all said we would love to stay here again some day!
By Shannan, Posted: 07/13/2023Perfect place for our family! Awesome experience! We called on the day of arrival and asked to drop off our food items so they wouldn't melt in the hot car while we went to the horse races before check-in. Your staff was extremely helpful and let us in to drop off. THANK YOU so much!
By Shannan, Posted: 06/25/2023Peaceful and beautiful place! A great place for a large family. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out. Definitely will come back here.
By Victor, Posted: 06/15/2023Just Far enough away from the hustle and bustle but close enough it wasn't a burden to go to town! 14 of us all couples except 2 individuals and everyone had their own room. Great place for a large group!
By Jesse, Posted: 05/23/2023Everyone suggested that we use this particular Rentals and everything was exactly as they explained it to us how easy how great the facilities are. Just everything is so professionally done and on a personal level. Clean, spacious and has a great layout for large groups
By James, Posted: 03/22/2023My family and I stayed for 3 days, 2 nights. This property was everything we wanted! Just looking at it from the outside it looks like a mansion in the woods. Beautiful views, several bedrooms, massive living and eating area, and a huge triple deck for hanging out. The yard was big enough to have a family wiffle ball game. The kitchen was fully shocked with dishes and supplies to cook every meal. The game room was perfect for the late night hang out, and away from the 3 bedrooms upstairs. My family and I have already began to talk about staying again later in the year.
By Revis, Posted: 03/15/2023Lots of space, bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate our large family. Property is in a great location on a beautiful lot with Eagle Creek running in front of the house.
By Anonymous U, Posted: 03/12/2023Best weekend ever!
Such a blessing to find a place this size and this nice for all of my girlfriends to stay at all together. We laughed, we cried, we enjoyed the time together. One of my friends wants to come back and have her small wedding here! It will be perfect. We all agreed that there was nothing missing in this house. It had everything we needed including the wine fridge! ;)
By Stephen S from San Antonio , Posted: 03/05/2023Great home! Great weekend with family!
This home was just perfect for our guys trip! Everyone had their own room and had everything we needed for cookouts in the evening. Game room was used every night. Will use again for the next one.
By Gloria R, Posted: 01/31/2023Wow!
So, I thought it would be fun to gather up my grand children and take them on a quick trip to Ruidoso. Was so surprised that 10 of them ages 14 to 28 (we have a big family) said yes. When I stumbled accross Big Bear I was so excited we could all be in one place instead of renting multiple cabins. Everything was perfect and we gathered each morning for breakfast and spent evening relaxing in the game room. There is lots of room in this home, even the smaller guest bedrooms were spacious. Very clean and great for our family. Cannot wait to return with the adults!
