Place was old but pretty clean. Bring your own pillow, pillows are lumpy even my five year old did not sleep in it. People running the place are very friendly an accommodating!

If you are expecting to step into a 4 star hotel, step back. We have taken our children to High Country Lodge from the time they were very young. Now they are taking their own children. There are good things about this establishment. For us it is the nostalgia of being together and swimming and playing tennis, all of the... More

We went with the High Country Lodge for the kitsch factor which it appeared to have. It isn't kitsch it is just rundown The cabins are old and poorly appointed. The furnishings are aging and uncomfortable - the couches are scratchy and the arm chairs and sinking. The furnishings will vary by cabin. We got to see two cabins because... More

I guess you get what you pay for. A two bedroom cabin with thrift store furniture, a tiny TV and cold wind whistling under the door. Dogs barking in the cabin next door and threatening notes on the refrigerator about charging you $60 if you don't haul your own trash out to the dumpster. Road noise from traffic on the... More

Called the Lodge, first told them I couldn't make it, then called back and said I would make it. The weather turned worse, so I called... More

We went to a family reunion here. I knew it wouldn't be too great but I wasn't even close! It was awful! Old furniture and appliances, no screens on bedroom windows so it wasn't possible to leave windows open for the mountain breeze, bathroom was so small you knocked elbows off just trying to dry hair, the pool/suana/hot tube looked...

A basic accommodation. It consists of a row of duplex cabins set back from a busy road not quite enough to dissipate all the noise. Cabins have 2 very small bedrooms, a basic bathroom with variable water pressure, living room and kitchen. Rotary(!) phone in bedroom and modern phone in LR. Primitive TV. Kitchen has fridge, stove, sink, microwave. Fireplace... More

It's supposed to be one of the best priced cabins in Ruidoso for families. It was about $220 for 2 nights so that wasn't the case. The good news - The cabins have two very small bedrooms and a pull out sofa. It can fit about 6 people. Here's the bad news - Everything is very old and very outdated.... More
