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!

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!

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.

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 management her name is Janice was wonderful. We are not young and spry and was having some altitude problems so we were needing some help to load after 5 wonderful,nights here. We offered to pay someone to come over and help us. The owner and manager of Best of Ruidoso showed up at noon and helped us load everything. She would not accept a cent for helping us just wanted us to comeback again with our 2 dogs and stay. She is awesome and we were so excited to have found someone that in the future when we decide to go back will request Rivers Bend Cabin through Best of Ruidoso. In fact from now on I will only use Best of Ruidoso. After all both of her sons graduated fromTexas Tech!!! Big plus for us Red Raider fans to support other Red Raiders. Again y'all service was wonderful and staff went above and beyond to accommodate everything we needed. Thanks so much Janice.

I have stayed in several hotels/motels with my work and this was the absolute worst place I have…read moreever stayed. Below are a list of pros and cons to this sham of a lodge. 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.

There is a creek that travels along the back of the park that pools into a pond where visitors can go fishing (catch and release). There is plenty of space to walk around or for the kids to ride their bikes. We can't wait to go back!
