Close to shopping. One of the few properties in Ruidoso that has easy year round access.

The gazebo sets next to the river and accommodates seating for everyone. A sitting area creek side for a quiet evening with a glass of wine.

Perfect Spot for a Long Weekend

The house was very clean and comfortable, and the kitchen is very well equipped for cooking. There are many entertainment options at the house (games, movies, TVs, fire pit) and it is located close to town and the casino. We would definitely stay again.

This was a great house. It was clean and well appointed with a great location. My family enjoyed plenty of private sleeping spaces along with great common areas. The house backs up to the creek which was beautiful and fun to fish in and the amusement park is literally next door so my kids could walk back and forth. It was the best of both worlds for a fun family vacation. The host was great and we will definitely be back.

Unique, good mountain home

It’s a very unique house that worked great for my family of 6 and a family of 4. The kids loved the creek and the game room. The parents loved how close everything was to the house and how big the house was. It’s a great mountain escape house and the owner was very responsive and helpful with our couple of questions.

Relaxing vacation at Rio del Oso

We spent a week at this lovely, unique home. It was a perfect getaway from the August heat in most parts of the country. The house was comfortable, spacious and tastefully decorated. We loved the backyard with it's many shady spots and places to sit and listen to the river. Our 15 yr. old dog loved it and acted like a puppy while she was there. We hope to return to this home in the future.

North meets Southwest

I flew from Alaska to meet up with family in Ruidoso. We chose this property for the open spaces (living room, dining, game room) to reconnect. In this regard, it was a great fit. Additionally, we liked the peaceful backyard with the incredible babbling brook! There were a couple of issues upon arrival regarding housekeeping and another before leaving, but management was courteous and timely in response. The most important point for me was quality time with family. Overall, we had a good visit!
