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.

Ruidoso Motorcoach Ranch (RMR) likes their guests as passive as the deer who are imprisoned by…read moretheir automatic feeders, acclimated to silence, devoid of any soul. 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...

Our planned celebration for my mom's 95th birthday was just a disaster. One bedroom had evidently…read morehad large dogs shut in. The smell of urine was so strong your eyes watered. 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.

We've rented from Hummingbird Cabins before and had a great experience, which makes this recent…read morestay all the more disappointing. The home was advertised as a premium property, but what we walked into felt more like someone's neglected second home -- furnished with mismatched items, poorly maintained, and nowhere near worth the price we paid. Here are some of the issues we experienced during our stay: * The oven broke on the first morning, and despite calling at 9:30 AM, no one came until after a second call that evening. * Mattresses were old and uncomfortable * The master bed is not suitable for anyone under 5'4" because it is too high to access safely and no step is provided. The nightstand next to it was about 12" too short to be usable. * Fixtures were grimy and coated in calcium and gunk. * Bath towels were threadbare, closer to dish towels in quality. * Only two thin hot pads in the kitchen -- I actually burned myself using them. * The kitchen was poorly stocked, and many items felt dirty or greasy. There was only one mixing bowl, and we found a bag of rotting avocados in the pantry. * The dishwasher didn't clean, and the instructions said to use vinegar -- which wasn't provided -- so we had to hand-wash everything. * The refrigerator made loud noises one night and kept us awake. * Worst of all, the dryer had no lint trap, with visible internal buildup -- a major fire hazard. * No coffee or side tables in the living room, making it impractical to relax with a drink or play games. * The house was dark and poorly lit, not at all like the bright, welcoming listing photos. * We were not allowed to use the patio heaters, even though they were advertised. When we asked how to turn them on, we got a generic text saying they weren't allowed -- with no explanation. * The yard was completely overgrown and unusable. We had hoped to enjoy the outdoor space but couldn't. We attempted to resolve this directly with Hummingbird Cabins, but their staff told us management could only be contacted by email and offered no timeline or assurance of follow-up. We never received a response to our email. That is not how a professional rental company should operate. We paid for a premium experience and got a substandard one. Until this property is properly cleaned, updated, and made safe, we cannot recommend it -- and we hope the company takes our feedback seriously.

The concern that something might go wrong lingered the entire trip. We left the cabin in excellent condition and have a video of the condition it was left in. After our stay the Owner of the cabin left a review stating we had left trash and removed smoke detectors and batteries from the rental. I contacted the host to inquire about the review and offer our proof that what she was saying was untrue. She was unwilling to view the proof we had and investigate further as her information was coming from people she had hired to clean after we left. I reviewed her interactions with other guests when they had less than perfect reviews she has a history of being slanderous towards them. Please save yourself the headache, there are plenty of other places to stay in Ruidoso. Keep this one off of your list.

It's a rustic but very nice, if not luxurious "cabin", although it's furnished like a home! It has 3 bedrooms including a master bedroom with a master bedroom bathroom. One of the rooms has bunk beds which my kid and grand kids loved! The main bathroom has a massive jacuzzi tub! The kitchen is fantastic and includes granite counter tops, a full size stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and it's fully stocked with everything you need to cook. There's even a full size washer & dryer which came in handy! The cabin is furnished with free WiFi, an HD TV, Blu-Ray Player and a small assortment of DVD's. The TV has some smart features including Netflix. The front porch is great. We spent a nice afternoon from the porch watching the rain. The back yard, and deck are wonderful, as they are furnished with a tables, chairs a fantastic hot tub, and BBQ Grill. The fenced back yard is great for the kids to explore and run around. When we were not out and about doing activities in town and the surrounding area, the cabin was a welcome fully furnished get away to relax, enjoy home cooked meals, play cards, watch TV, get in the hot tub, and even sleep. We made some great memories, including a visit from the local deer which come pretty close. On top of all that my granddaughter left a pair of blue jeans behind and they were kind enough to call me and insisted upon mailing them back. Now that's great customer service. I would definitely recommend this cabin. It' a bit of a windy, uphill drive to the cabin, but well worth it.

The pilot switch on the fireplace is finicky and after calling management for 24 hours, they finally sent someone to fix it. I can't figure out how to sleep 13. We only counted 11 spots.

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.
