We love this house.
1.0 / 5.0
When we arrived the bedding had hair all over the sheets. There were only a few pillows with pillows cases. There were more pillows in the closet that were old and dirty but with no cases. We wound up putting our own bedding on. Everything was kinda dirty... the hot tub water was gross. They said to put the trash in the dumpster but there wasn't one onsite. The wifi information given with the booking didn't work. We tried to contact the propety manager, they said they would look into it but never returned our call. The drive way is extremely steep which isn't shown in the listing. It snowed while we were there. Once again we called the property management to inquire about getting the driveway plowed but didn't get a response. The only message I got back was the check out procedure. So we had to find a plow service and pay $125 to have the driveway plowed. The house is on a steep hill and the city didn't salt the roads up there, they only plowed the road. We spent 2 days just watching cars slide down the steep hill and wreck. The house it self is beautiful, but the lack of proper cleaning, no wifi, no plowing and lack of communication made it a nightmare stay.

Views we’re great!! House as described. Very comfortable and good location. Driveway is pretty steep - can be an issue in snowy /icy weather.
Great little getaway for me and the hubby! Thank you for sharing your home!

My family goes to Ruidoso for SB every year
this was our first time at this cabin. We took our 2 sons and 3 of their friends so needed a larger place. Kids loved it. Pool table and hot tub kept them busy. Rooms on the 3rd floor gave them privacy. Place was clean but there were mouse droppings in drawers (expected in mountains). Paper goods and firewood left were not enough for a whole week but there is a store and Walmart in town. Driveway is steep. We were grateful they had snow shovels in garage. Plenty of cookware and made due with dishes we were missing like a griddle. It could use more glasses. Overall it was a nice place. Quit neighborhood. It does not have shades on a lot of windows but not really needed that high in mountains but it did take a little time to get used to that. The propane tank for BBQ grill was empty but we called and they replaced it right away. There were some complaints regarding the cable channel choices. We only used TV at night. We did have a firestick and that was great for movie watching. We would stay at No Better View again. Beautiful Cabin.

The views are AMAZING!
This is a perfect place for a romantic getaway, which is what ours was. Grill on the patio so you can watch the sunset while you cook dinner. Fireplace is beautiful, even though it was too warm for us to use it. This place would also be great for a group, we didn’t even go upstairs other than to check it out. My ONLY complaint, and I’m not sure anything can be done about it……… We got a wake up call at sunrise every day by a woodpecker who has decided to destroy the side of the master bedroom.

Such a beautiful cabin. Well kept. All the conveniences needed to be self contained if weather keeps you from outdoor activities. Views are spectacular sunrise to sunset.

Exactly what we were looking foot
With only the exception of the hot tub’s location to the neighboring house, this place offered the perfect amount of views and Serenity for our first vacation in a year. The atmosphere, cleanliness and amenities were spot on. Some maintenance is needed but nothing I felt was pressing enough to call the office or decrease the rating.

Fantastic location on outskirts of town provides incredible views. Great home. Excellent hiking right behind property with elk, horses, deer and turkey. Sofa is worn out and uncomfortable due to sagging. Needs replaced.

“Ain’t no better of view”has a fantastic view!
We came up from the West Texas desert to get away from the heat and relax. That’s exactly what we needed. We ate a lot on the patio, enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings, and the rains that happen almost every day here in the mountains. We Really enjoyed it and didn’t want to leave.

Enjoy Gorgeous Valley Views from the Deck
This property was very clean. The best of the property is the deck, hot tub and gorgeous views. Great space indoors for family or friends trip to gather. There were some issues which we called about immediately and they were handled quickly and efficiently. A couple of items which we felt could be improved. The carpet on the lower stairs needs a good cleaning or to be replaced. A musty smell is apparent which we thought came from these carpets. We enjoy cooking and thought the kitchen could use some new/updated utensils, equipment, etc. All in all, this was a great property and we enjoyed our stay.

Weekend Getaway!
My family and I enjoyed every bit of this property. The view was fascinating! We were greeted by some deer out in the front. You’ll love the decor inside as well as hanging out in the deck.

Winter Getaway
The property was clean and large enough for the family. There was a lot of deer around the property which the children loved. The drive way... :) make sure to have 4 wheel drive as we keep sliding. We really enjoyed our stay and the we keep all of the windows open as the view was amazing.
3.0 / 5.0
Overall the stay was great and we will be back but will be choosing a different property.
Pros:
Condotel was excellent from start to finish.
The late check in / key pick process was perfect!
Condetel provided all the information we needed for the check in, house, keys, do's, don'ts, entertainment, ski rental process and savings.
Hot tub was hot and ready to go!
The property is minutes from the downtown Ruidoso area, 10 minutes from the Winter Park, 15 minutes from the Mountain of the Gods resort and 45 mins from Ski Apache
The Ski Rental store attached to Condotel office is extremely professional, fast and will give guests a 25% discount. Boards, boots, bibs and rental gear for 4 was under $150.00.
Cons:
VRBO was the initial company I dealt with when booking the property, my card was double charged for the total amount. Contacting customer service was extremely challenging, the first two people I dealt with were from a foreign call center and were unable to assist. The matter was eventually resolved after I spoke with a person from the Austin location.
The neighborhood was mixed with low cost housing, trailers and trash however the home was secluded and this could only be seen while driving through the area.
House stunk and was musty.
Walls needed painting, were scratched and dirty throughout the entire property.
Carpet downstairs was stained and dirty.
Floors were dirty and dusty and the kids were covered in dusty and lint after sitting on the upstairs den floor.
Dishwasher leaked water and top shelf was broken.
Drier did not work, took 3 cycles to dry a load of laundry. .
Master shower door was broken and water leaked on the floor.
Rodents in the attic above master bedroom can be heard day and night.
Water heater does not support two adults, two children, water was cold on last bath or after doing laundry.
The property has no essentials, no items for cooking such as butter, oil, PAM, seasonings, etc. When you buy food you must also buy all items needed for preparing and cooking the meal.
Property management demands all dishes, cookware, linen and towels be cleaned however the property has no soap, dish soap, laundry detergent. These items must be purchased and they cannot be left in the property.
Trash must be taken out and dropped at nearby dumpsters however the property has no trash sacks available and these must be purchased but cannot be left in property.
Overall, pros far outweighed the cons however the price of the property should ensure these items are repaired and the property is cleaned!

Amazing View, Relaxing Stay
Spacious, clean property. Well maintained with gorgeous view. Loved every minute of our stay. The only possible negative is the driveway is very steep and meets the road at an awkward angle.

Million Dollar View
You’ll be hard pressed to find a better view in Ruidoso. Very central location to midtown and riding stables. I read the previous reviews, and they made sense during our stay. Come with an open mind, you are staying in a cabin in the woods, and should lower some expectations. The cabin needs maintenance. Critters moving around/living in the attic, dryer doesn’t work, dishwasher leaks when used, family room television didn’t work, and the previous review comments regarding pans were true.
I recommend you stay here, but with an open mind. I expect the maintenance items will be corrected and you will enjoy a peaceful setting, high on the hill with a great view.

Great view and located close to almost everything
We really enjoyed our trip and stay at Ain’t no better view. Great home with enough space to sleep our crew of 4 adults and 4 kids just fine. As read in previous post there were several spiders spotted in the house and the pots and pans for cooking are limited. The dishwasher did leak a little on the floor but nothing a towel couldn’t fix. The house is nice and could use a few updates but overall pretty nice. Be prepared if it it snows you will need more than just 4 wheel drive to get up the very very steep driveway. We would consider renting the property again when we vacation in Ruidoso.

Heaven on earth!
The name of this home says it all...."Ain't No Better View". We stayed in this home week before last and it was awesome. The views from every room of the home are absolutely breathtaking! This is a beautiful place and has everything you need in the home. I loved waking up in the morning and watching all of the deer from the balcony. The property managers are so helpful, the contacted us a couple times to see if there was anything they could do to make our stay even more enjoyable and we thought that was pretty neat. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway to the Ruidoso are look no further than this home!

Amazing View!
The view was amazing! It is nice to get away and be able to relax and just take in the view. We were 2 families (8 total) who rented the cabin. Although it says it sleeps 8, we had two 14 year-old boys who needed their own bed. One was on the sleeper sofa (comfortable for one) and luckily we brought a blowup mattress for the other one. It was a life saver. The Kitchen had plenty of counter space to get organized and put your things on. It does have the bare necessities, but if you cook a lot you might want to bring your favorite pans/cooking utensils. There were also a lot of spiders in the cabin. But what do you expect from where it is located. Some part of nature must come in. :-) Overall, we had a great time! Every night was game night with the pool table and sitting around the kitchen table playing card games. The room with the pool table was a little small but it all worked out great. Having access to the garage was a plus for unloading and loading especially if it’s raining. :-) Also, be aware that the cabin next door is close. If you are out on the deck enjoying the view, you may not have a lot of privacy if the cabin next door is rented.

Beautiful Views
The home was beautiful and nicely decorated. Great location with amazing views. We will definitely be back. Some items in the home were dated and damaged, but seem to be easy fixes (sliding shower door, front and deck door frames, BBQ grill rack, hot tub lock)

Reviewer Comments:
Picturesque view; being half way between The Links and The Inn was centralized location for our golf outings and the racetrack; only drawback, like many Ruidoso rentals was the angled driveway, which while not ideal, was manageable. You can find cheaper places, but if prefer clean, well-maintained, well-managed properties, go with Condotel.

House location was fine, but the view was not good from the sitting outside porch. It faced another home and the view "Ain't No better". Bedrooms faced east and the shades were paper thin and should be replaced with better ones.
