Awesome getaway

The house is a little outdated but overall a great experience. There were a few minor issues such as the pool table being a tad run down, flooring scratched up near the pool house. The pool and hot tub were a complete joy! Lots of space for our family to enjoy the cabin. Such an awesome weekend, thanks to hummingbird cabins!

Best Home in Ruidoso

We LOVED this house. It is so spacious and has so much character. The location was away from neighbors and close to town. Everything was exactly as they advertised. The pool was a hit for the kids and the gated yard for the dogs was a bonus perk! We will be back for sure!

Beautiful cabin located perfectly within minutes of grocery stores and town.

The renting process was very quick and easy, the cabin was very good, only a few, non-considered big issues, due to the life of the cabin. Very clean and comfortable!!!!

Beautiful house in need of some TLC. Some of the tile in the kitchen are broken and the carpet in the entryway from the pool and the master bathroom carpet are damp. The chemicals in the pool are a little strong. The tri level provided beautiful and peaceful views of nature.
