Let me tell you something. This place was perfect for us! The places were nice just not 4 star resort units. But that's not why we came here. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. You have great views of the snow covered mountains and it is surrounded by tree-lined rolling hills with horses scattered about. We saw Elk, Deer and a couple Foxes. It was very serene and quiet. The dogs LOVED it! I have a Border Collie and a Border Aussie so they like to play and explore. This was the perfect place for them. They could run and chase after the ball and other people had dogs as well so we didn't feel out of place. The units had rustic tile floors and a fireplace. The kitchen was well stocked and the water was hot. The internet was unbelievable. I had to work while the wife, kids and grandkids went out to explore and I was getting 30 mps consistently. The grandkids enjoyed the playground and although it was closed for the season, the pool looked very nice. There is also a tennis court. Most importantly, the owners Jose and Maria were wonderful. They are so nice and are obviously dog lovers because they kept asking me questions about my pups. I will stay here again and let the kids stay at the crown point everyday of the week. I loved it!

Beautiful views, spacious quiet sites, and every amenity you could hope for (including spotless bathrooms/showers/laundry facilities). Full hook-ups, propane fire rings, rocking chairs are standard, and their outdoor covered patio and grill are a nice touch ... as is the occasional musical entertainment provided by very talented local musicians. It's set in the mountains, yet close enough to Ruidoso, Lincoln, Cloudcroft, and Capitan to make dining, shopping, and site-seeing simple and easy. This is one of our "Must Go To" RV resorts every year, and our favorite times to visit are "Beat the Heat" ​mid-summer (especially 4th of July) and autumn during the change of seasons.

Not 10 minutes away is the city of Ruidoso, where deer feeders are illegal, but at RMR, "Click, click, click," another feeder goes off, and another deer barely responsive to the nearness of man. I was one of the guests who was present on the 250th anniversary where our forefathers declared our Independence. Excited, among family and friends, for the RMR set the tone with a bbq lunch at mid-day... and a day full of glee laid ahead. We gathered outside our RV spot at the provided chairs circling the fire pit and placed in the blistering heat, no shade or cover present above. No issue did we take heed, for we were born blessed, and kissed by the sun. The RV was set, and the TV, soccer-Paraguay vs France, barely audible, as we root for the US of A. Soon after, the owner and self- appointed Marshall in a dilapidated Mustang-inspired golf cart, with the ego to match, came circling by, round and round.. 10 minutes go by. .. 20 minutes go by.... still circling looking for any indiscretion... "Eeeek!" A score of minutes later, a child's glee to a present deer was the catalyst that had the Marshall finally stop. He confronted my friend to tell him he had "just" received a noise complaint. We took note, not another guest in sight, hiding in their RV fearful of the sun... "click, click, click," another deer feeder goes off. An hour or so later, another guest comes out, we say hello. Talk about their day, invite them over for a cocktail and to embrace this great 250th Independence Day! The guest departs, smile cracked, having made our acquaintance. Later we see them packing up and inquire about it, he reported, we are moving to a shaded spot away from the sun. Soon after, my friend and his 3 year old son, depart to the dumpster with a trash bag filled. Another deer seen, a child with a gleeful "Eeek!" Suddenly the Marshall (Owner) and his backup (wife) in a 57 Chevy-inspired Golf cart, gas pedal touching the floor, approached with much haste. Surrounded, my friend is told, we have received another noise complaint, and we hear you offered a patron a drink... A child unsure why his father was upset, as our group packed our things to comply with the departure request. We scrambled for another site to hook up the RV, all others fully booked, RMR - unsurpringly plenty availability to be seen... The RMR website reads "A place of unpretentious luxury," surely written as an oxyMoron...

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.

August 2014 - We rented Bear Country Cabin for a Friday thru Sunday stay. Checking is 4pm and…read morecheckout is 10am. At the last minute, we decided to extend to Monday. They worked with us and extended the trip with no issues. The rental was straight forward and the details of what was expected of us and what was at the cabin was all spelled out ? I got our deposit back about 2 weeks after the trip. The cabin is listed as a 3 bedroom. It has a normal size bedroom downstairs, one large master upstairs and a very small room with a fold out bed. Worked for our son and two GrandKids. Probably not for me and my wife. Master was large and roomy but it is an open air concept? So the balcony is over the living room. If a party is going on downstairs....you'll hear it in the master! The cabin was ok...needs a little TLC if it were mine! Great views of the woods behind the cabin. We had deer in the yard all 4 days. The hot tub is great! Deck has a dining table and bbq grill. Not fancy but very useable. The pool table is on a 1degree slope... Internet kept going down so we resorted to our Verizon MiFi. Lots of parking..we gad three full size cars there. The deck & hot tub are private except for a next door neighbor. Views were great with two hummingbird feeders and lots of birds using them. Location is very convenient to town. Take a backroad to Inn of the Mountains. If it were just the two of us, we'd probably rent again. With two sons plus family & GrandKids, we would probably look for something larger and maybe a little upscale next time. We had a great time. Casinos, eating out, drive up the ski area...and don't bet on Crypthasarrived ( race horse)...you'll loose your $40 bucks!

None of the 7 beds downstairs had any bedding. We had chosen this particular cabin - Little Bear Lodge - because all 12 of us would have beds and because of the dog toilet room we had to double up, 40 year old men had to crawl on to the top bunks and mates weren't with mates. The swimming pool and hot tub were a big draw as they were advertised as heated. The heater did not work. They charged us a $400 cleaning fee but expect us to clean before we leave AND haul trash ourselves! Do not go there. If you have to choose sleeping in your car or this, choose your car. It won't be as big an aggravation.
