Ruidoso Mountain Inn
Great property and location. Comfortable bed and good size room. My only complaint would be the shower drained slow but didn’t ruin the experience.

Upper Canyon Inn & Cabins
From the photos we thought it was going to be individual cabins not a building with all the rooms connected. But still extremely happy with our visit. Would absolutely stay there again.

High Sierra Condominium
Great value for being on top of the mountain. Check in was easy and checkout even faster. Comes with all the basics. Bed and pillows were Extra firm and dated, and could use an update.
