The property was just as advertised. We did have difficulty with the coffee maker, Michael went above and beyond to make sure it was fixed in a timely manner and that we were satisfied! Highly recommend!

Beautiful cabin needs upgrades the lack of the main burner on the electric stove. I had to move my pancake griddle (which I had to go buy)cook pancakes. Only one frying pan available to cook and the handle was loose. Everything stuck to the pan even with Pam non stick spray. We were unable to watch all NFL games on Thanksgiving, which is a big tradition of my family. Unable to access local stations to watch the news, and the college football games on Saturday.The fireplace stove did not work at all I. Very frustrated with this place and voiced my opinion to my representative or agent, and explained to him that it was not his fault and I appreciated everything that he was helping guide me to hook up the fireplace and tried helping me set up the TV. Oh and the TV in the upstairs room did not work. We always come up here to rent cabins for Thanksgiving and mom's birthday. Again, this is not VRBO or Evolves fault. Thanks again and wishing all a Merry Christmas and a Happy and safe New year. God bless America!

Maria, we're glad you found this cabin very cozy! The homeowner would like to pass along the following message:
"We're sorry that you weren't 100% satisfied with your stay. In the cabin, we provide a Keurig machine as well as a French Press coffee maker. It wasn't necessary to purchase a coffee pot, but we can understand it may be a personal preference. Unfortunately, the televisions in the house do not have access to local TV stations. However, we do offer high-speed internet and Roku devices to stream movies and TV shows on demand to provide you with ample entertainment options during your stay. We appreciate your feedback and may consider providing local TV options in the future."
Thank you for taking the time to review this home, and we hope to host you again soon! Best, the Evolve Team
Ruidoso was Amazing and Our Cabin was Beautiful So Comfy ??

We got snowed in. The cabin was comfortable for our family of 7. The "bunkhouse" has only a space heater, so it was a bit chilly. The scenery is beautiful. If there is a significant amount of snow you will need chains to get to and from the cabin. We left a day early due to the fear if we didn't we would be stuck as the road to the cabin is not maintained.
