The cabin is nice but there are a couple of things that need attention. First day advertise the place with a dishwasher and they have no dishwasher, they should specify because the clients are supposed to wash the dishes. They also advertise the kitchen as "fully equipped" and there are old utensils and other kitchen metal gadgets that do not work or have rust. The knives were all weak and dull, not sharp. Can openers potato peelers are only a few of the items that they need to replace. You're charging an amount for a fully equipped kitchen with all the equipment and if something were to break, you would probably make the client accountable. The mattresses are old, worn and the mattress covers are stained. My guest and I woke up each day with back pain. I personally had to layer up covers on top of your mattress to make it more comfortable since I was there for several nights. Please invest in your beautiful cabin and don't make this a negative experience for anybody else in the future.

Perfect Getaway location

We celebrated my daughter’s 14th bday and the cabin was perfect and cozy. We came in during a snowstorm, so my vehicle couldn’t make it up the hill about .03 mile away. We parked down the hill at a hotel and walked the rest of the way. The cabin was nice and warm but a rug should be at the front door to not track in snow/dirt. We used a towel. The kitchen was stocked well, dishes a little dirty from previous users but we just washed them. The kids loved the loft. I would definitely use this location again.

This cabin was located in the perfect location in Ruidoso. Just far enough to feel cozy and enjoy the quiet and close enough to town to get necessities. The cabin was so clean and fully equipped with everything we needed during our stay. With deer and woods all around if was such a beautiful scenery! The back patio gave the perfect touch for the just right experience we were looking for! Check it was extremely easy and so was check out! We will definitely rent from Hummingbird again!

Nothing fancy but a nice little property

Property was clean, only a few negatives. I would suggest adding some silverware as there was only 2 forks. Kind of tough when you have 4 people. Beds upstairs were 2 full size and not the best quality. The other amenities were good. Thanks for letting us stay at your property.

As a young family we don't get many chances to get away and enjoy time together. The cabin was perfect for our family of 4 and gave us a feel of being out in the wilderness without being completely outside of town. Loved seeing the wild horses, elk and deer from the balcony and enjoying the cool nights you only get in the mountains.
