Family Cabin w/ Hot Tub: 1 Mi to Angel Fire Resort

Reviews

• Nice... But! But!

  3/5

  Property was comfortable for our family. There were a few opportunities during our stay...

  Driveway was a NIGHTMARE. very steep and difficult to navigate. No screen an any window in the entire house which created problem since no AC in house and it was fairly warm all night even though stand up fans were available (couldn't raise and leave windows open at night). Cabin was pretty invested with carpenter ants in all rooms... this was probably a seasonal thing, but wasn't a great feel or look. HOT TUB was great, but bench outside on patio was not attached to patio and one of my granddaughters slightly inured herself when it fell over as she was sitting on it. The cabin was clean, the check in was flawless and we adapted to the challenges we faced, but I would not stay in it again for my family. Want to be honest, but not brutal.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Ronnie, we appreciate your honest feedback and are glad the property was comfortable for your family. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your review, and they wanted to share the following:
  
  - The driveway is steep, as clearly stated in the description, due to the mountainous location of the home
  - Like many mountain homes, there is no A/C (as stated in the listing), and fans are provided in every room. Summer temperatures usually range from highs in the upper 70s to lows in the mid-40s
  - Carpenter ants are a seasonal issue, and we are actively working with pest control to address this
  - There are two free-standing benches on the deck. If someone sits on the very end, it’s possible it could tip. We're glad to hear your granddaughter wasn't seriously injured
  
  Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests!

• Wonderful

  5/5

  It was great, they had dog bowls, fully stocked kitchen, seasonings, and even a few extra food items like sides if we needed it. There was even an extra bottle of propane for the grill. They also has toiletries, makeup remover, tampons, and a hair dryer. Everything we might have forgotten. The property is close to another one butwe had no issues enjoying the porch. Absolutely beautiful home & property. Thank you for letting us stay & allowing pets!

• Angel fire

  4/5

  Overall we really enjoyed our stay, loved the hot tub, closeness to the skiing resort, the sleds available for us to use there. Only downfall for us was all the steps to make it down to the cabin with all the food, drinks, and luggage for the weekend.

• Ski Trip

  3/5

  We booked this house for a ski trip. I had read a review about the driveway being steep and 3 cars could park there. When we got there, there was a lot of snow and it is very steep, and you have to turn to get down there. Luckily my husband turned my car around and moved it over so he could back his truck up down by the car. The next morning after lots of snow, we had a hard time getting out of there and we did have 4 wheel drive vehicles. Overall, I would say avoid this house during the winter, just because of the driveway. In the listing, it says you can walk to the ski lift, this is not the case. Unless you like to hike up a mountain while carrying your ski stuff. Not accurate, but the drive to the resort is only 5 min.

  The house itself was good and we all loved the hot tub!

  Owner's response: "Kristi, The homeowners were surprised to read your review, as they are accustomed to providing 5-star experiences, and would like to clarify the following:
  
  - Angel Fire is the heart of New Mexico skiing and we have received more than our fair share of snow this season, which makes us very happy. We have informed all our guests that a 4-wheel drive is required during this time of year as we do not know how much snow we will have. We're sorry if you had some issues with parking. We have had a large number of guests who can navigate their vehicles and have enjoyed our home.
  - There is ski-in and ski-out access, it is a slight hill, not a mountain and we use it all the time. We're sorry you found it inconvenient.
  
  We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests. We will continue to deliver the 5-star experiences we are known for."

• Weekend getaway

  5/5

  Overall a great stay! We enjoyed the hot tub and the host makes sure to provide an abundance of necessities in the cabin. From seasonings to coffee types to fun board games. We overpack for any trip and it was a relief that majority of what we packed was already supplied wonderful weekend and wonderful memories
