Photos and Description of the Ruidoso vacation cabin rental
Two bedrooms, 1 bath, deck with mountain view, sleeps 4 (5 with rollaway)

True cabin built in 1960 with solid wood flooring and walls . . . Spectacular views of the mountains, Sierra Blanca in particular from high level deck . . . Original decor but outfitted with 21st century conveniences: Flat screen TV, dish network, all kitchen and bath amenities, Wi-Fi 'hotspot' available for $10 a day. Ceiling fans in every room; AC unit in kitchen. Gas heat throughout cabin; huge wood burning fireplace with wood available. Totally isolated, gravel road entrance--yet 5 minutes from downtown Village of Ruidoso, 10 minutes from 3 casinos and racetrack.

Golf/Skiing: Inn of the Mountain Gods championship golf course one of top 35 courses in United States (Golf Digest);

Links at Sierra Blanca-- in top 100 links courses in United States (Golf Digest);

Cree Meadows--affordable 18 hole course - all within 10 minutes of cabin.

Ski Apache--15 minutes from property, Open Thanksgiving to May, 12,000 feet--great skiing,bunny slopes and Olympic runs!

Access, Weather, and Wildlife: (Cool)

Cabin is set at 7500 feet, which averages about 8 degrees cooler in the summer from downtown, and 15 degrees cooler than the El Paso/Albuquerque/Lubbock southwest! Visitors from the Dallas or Houston area will notice that while Sandy's Place is in the mountains, it still carries LOW humidity.

(Access)

Sandy's Cottage is easily accessed from US 70 through downtown Ruidoso, New Mexico--yet retains it's quiet charm off a gravel access road that accommodates two full-time residences and this home. Easy accessibility in spring, summer, and fall by any vehicle: winter months might require 4-wheel drive depending on conditions.

(Wildlife)

Deer, raccoons, elk (sometimes), and bear daily attractions: Sandy's Cottage has two deer troughs--some female deers will eat out of your hand!

To our guests: Sandy's Cottage is a quiet cabin retreat in the mountains of Ruidoso, New Mexico. We are looking for visitors that will respect the environs and the full-time neighbors that live in the area. If you are looking for a quiet spot to enjoy the cool air, the native wildlife, yet accessibility to shopping/casinos (3), racetrack, golf, and over 25 restaurants all within ten minutes from Sandy's Cottage--then, Sandy's Cottage is for you. Pets: Sandy's Cottage will accept small pets (cats, dogs). Rentor(s) are responsible for clean ups or any damage done to Sandy's Cottage as a result. Curfew: We ask that all rentors respect a midnight 'curfew' as far as outdoor activities at Sandy's Cottage to respect the other neighbors that live adjacent. Smoking: There is no smoking in Sandy's Place, or outside on the deck The latter is a Village of Ruidoso ordinance.

We loved this little cabin! Tucked away nicely amongst the trees. Very cozy and comfortable feel to it. And a beautiful view from the back Deck. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Very close to restaurants and shopping. The deer come right up to the property every day. We will look forward to coming back again!
Thanks from West Texas!!
Owner's Response: thanks Geoff! Glad you enjoyed your stay!

Wonderful experience

5 of 5
Submitted: September 3, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
The cabin was exactly as described in the picture above; cozy and inviting with a wrap-around balcony (at eye-level with the pine trees) that seats at least six in addition to a table seating four. We sat at the table to have our breakfast in the mornings and watched the hummingbirds fighting over the feeders......great fun! My husband and I went there hoping to find a place in the woods to unwind, relax and enjoy what Ruidoso had to offer and that's exactly what we found. Since we're older, we couldn't do hiking or anything but we did visit Ruidoso Downs, Inn of the Mountain Gods and several restaurants. We particularly enjoyed the Texas Club Restaurant for steak, Cafe Rio (for pizza), and Caliente Grill, Camino Nueva and Jorge's Restaurant for good New Mexican food. We found the owners to be completely responsive to any request we had and we can certainly recommend either of the properties they have.

The cottage was ok. A little bit dirty but comfortable. We did not expect it to be in a neighborhood of cabins. We thought it would be more secluded. The directions to it were confusing.
Recommended for:  Pet-friendly
Owner's Response: Sandy's Cottage is in one of the more isolated regions of Ruidoso. It is accessed by a gravel road, with 4 or 5 cabins and houses nearby. While within 15 minutes of everything Ruidoso (3 casinos, downtown, Walmart, etc.), the beauty of Sandy's Cottage is it's isolation and wildlife. Directions are particular and exact--but the Cottage is "by itself," and initially hard to find. Directions, sent as separate attachments to renters, are exact. Other renters have had no problem finding it's locale.

We had a wonderful stay in Ruidoso. This was our second time up and we have now stayed in both of the cabins owned by the same couple. Both cabins are great, fully furnished with everything you could possibly need. This one has a very homelike feel and a wonderful wrap around porch with swing, etc. We had a deer visit us on the last night and eat the food we'd put out for it and the kids thought that was really cool. We enjoyed lots of hiking and saw more deer to include 4 bucks with good size racks and about 12 does. We forgot one ingredient in a meal we planned to prepare and were only 5 minutes from a full size grocery store, so were able to salvage the meal with little time spent out. We'd highly recommend this cabin for your next vacation rental, you won't be disappointed. The owners are great and treat you like family. Thanks for a great weekend.
