Awesome getaway
The house is a little outdated but overall a great experience. There were a few minor issues such as the pool table being a tad run down, flooring scratched up near the pool house. The pool and hot tub were a complete joy! Lots of space for our family to enjoy the cabin. Such an awesome weekend, thanks to hummingbird cabins!

Best Home in Ruidoso
We LOVED this house. It is so spacious and has so much character. The location was away from neighbors and close to town. Everything was exactly as they advertised. The pool was a hit for the kids and the gated yard for the dogs was a bonus perk! We will be back for sure!

Beautiful cabin located perfectly within minutes of grocery stores and town.
The renting process was very quick and easy, the cabin was very good, only a few, non-considered big issues, due to the life of the cabin. Very clean and comfortable!!!!

Indoor pool, yes please
Deer actually came to the window and watched us swim! Great kid property with few breakables in reach! Decor is old and paint around pool needs to be updated.
