"I used it for one night, but the staff from the beginning was really friendly. I did a late check in. The room was 1 king bed for my wife and I. We slept really good for that evening. Place and room were very very clean. Would definitely come here and recommend others.and it was 9mins away from midway ruidoso."

Casey's Cabins

8/10 Good

"Our cabin was amazing, it was exactly as advertized. The whole cabin was exceptionally clean, our only hiccup was the bed was a little less sturdy than we expected, and we found that it shifted somewhat when we moved around. Unfortunately, this made it a bit difficult for us to feel completely comfortable. Other than that our stay was amazing."
