My family enjoyed our stay at this house. The house was spacious enough for my family of four, my sister's family of four, and my parents. We loved seeing the deer that walked by the house daily. The owners of the house sent us useful information about the town and places to see. Overall we had a very good experience staying at this property.

Review submitted: March 13, 2013   Date of arrival: February 28, 2013

My family had such a great stay. We were able to get all seven siblings and parents in the same house at the same time for the first time in years. The cabin is marvelous; the rooms are comfortable and clean, all the amenities can’t be beat, the views incredible, and Jim and Dinah are great to work with. It pleased every member of my family and that is hard to do. We all agreed we will definitely stay here again next time we are in Ruidoso. Fast communication, amazing accommodations, and excellent views what more could you ask for. Thank you so much,

Jim and Dinah thank you for letting us stay at your home in Ruidoso, I always have a difficult time accomading my large family and this year your home worked out perfect. This is the fourth year in a row that we make it on this particular weekend and all was great. We did have to leave in a hurry on our last day due to a family emergency but everyone got home safe. Your home had everything we needed except for the extra time that we did not have so we could stay longer. Hopefully we'll see you next year. Thanks

Fun in the Mountains

Deb (San Angelo, Texas)
Review submitted: August 7, 2012   Date of arrival: July 29, 2012

Our entire family visited this lovely home in Alto, New Mexico. We had 4 boys with us, ranging from 6 to 15yrs. old. This house was perfect for them and us. The basement level is set up with everything imaginable for entertainment. The boys spent hours down there. We would have to work on them to get them to leave. That was great for the adults! The main level patio was very large and we spent most of our mornings and evenings out there. The area was experiencing unnaturally warm days, but as soon as the sun went down, it cooled off and we were back outside. We normally go to the city pool but with the hot tub right there, we didn't even consider it. We also made a friend, Peaches, with one of the deer in the neighborhood. She would visit day and night and was very tame. We have pictures of the boys petting and feeding her. Jim and Dinah are the nicest owners we have come across in the 20 years we have been coming to Ruidoso and renting homes. They made themselves available to us via email/text before and after the visit. We will return to Buena Vista again and again. I have already recommended it to our friends. Hopefully the next visit will be in the normally cool weather.

Owners response: Thanks for staying with us. Peaches and her friends have been coming around more since the Little bear Fire earlier this summer. Thanks for friending her.

Family Vacation

Cheryl (Decatur, Texas 76234)
Review submitted: July 30, 2012   Date of arrival: July 22, 2012

The property was as described. We cooked most of our meals and found everything we needed in the kitchen to do this. The outside deck space is amazing; plenty of deck furniture and the views are spectacular. The hottub is nice as well as the large game room on the bottom level. We had a large family group of 8 adults and 5 children. There was plenty of room for everyone. There is a bathroom on every floor and the large walk-in shower on the bottom level is amazing. The house has several oscillating fans as well as airconditioning. We loved opening the windows and letting the fans circulate the fresh cool air. There is plenty to do in Ruidoso and the surrounding area. We drove to White Sands one day and let the grandkids sled on the sand. We also went to Capitan and Lincoln for some site seeing. We would recommend this property to anyone who needs a lot of space and wants all the amenities of home. Jim and Dinah were very accomodating and made sure all of our needs were taken care of.

Our teen daughter turned 18 while in Ruidoso, and she and four friends spent the week at Buena Vista. They enjoyed the game room and hot tub. The house was well appointed, and we had everything we needed for a great stay. My husband and I especially enjoyed the top deck view. We enjoyed drinking coffee and watching the hummingbirds in the mornings. There was more than enough room for all seven of us. We would definitely recommend Buena Vista and hope to return soon.

Snow, snow and more snow!

Review submitted: May 22, 2012   Date of arrival: February 10, 2012

A great week (6 days) at the CASA with our kids and our grandkids. The three levels of the house were perfect for our family (6 adults and 4 children). The house was a great location for the "ski people", the games galore were cool for the kids, the view from the deck was awesome. The grandchildren had their own special room downstairs. The neighborhood was quiet. The "deer" visitors were an added touch along with being snowed in the first night here. What a joy that someone would share this experience with us.

Review submitted: February 24, 2012   Date of arrival: February 2, 2012

What a wonderful New Mexico retreat! Casa Buena Vista was the perfect place for our family to gather for a long weekend. Upon our arrival the house instantly wrapped us up in its cozy spaces and breathtaking views. You feel as though you have walked into a happy home full of happy memories! The house is very well kept and provides a ton of fun possibilities with the multiple fire places, game room, and hot tub to soothe your achy muscles after a couple days of skiing. The location is quite perfect. Whether you are planning on skiing your days away or strolling downtown Ruidoso, it is an easy (and beautiful )drive no matter where you are headed. Casa Buena Vista is indeed the “house with the (most) pleasant view!”

Review submitted: November 21, 2011   Date of arrival: November 11, 2011

This was a girls weekend away celebrating a 50th birthday and this location couldn't have been more perfect. It was large enough for everyone to spread out and have their own space, but cozy and comfortable. The view from the back deck was lovely. I would recommend to anyone, except families with very small children because of the stairs. (the home is on 3 levels, although there are gates on the stairs). This is clearly stated in the owners description. I definitely would visit here again.

Recommended for: age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway

Owners response: Thanks ladies...come again. you just missed 5 inches of fresh snow today. The stair to lower level gameroom is a steel spiral type installed by previous owners. It is sturdy and gated for safety, but there are also two alternative exterior stairs to this level.

We just returned from eight nights at Casa Buena Vista with our adult children and granddaughter. Coming from the brutal Texas heat this summer, it was a very restful and rejuvenating stay. There was plenty of room for all three families and all the necessities to cook meals, as well as restuarants close at hand.
The home was clean and well kept. We will certainly consider going again when time permits.

Highly recommended!

This was our second time to use this property. The views, layout and extras offered were outstanding. There was room for everyone without feeling you were on top of each other. We used the pool table, poker table, dart board and the big screen TV"s. It was nice to have different floors so that some can stay up late without keeping others awake. The house is perfect for family fun. Very Very nice. You won't be disappointed. Everything you need is there.It could not have been better.We give it 5 stars!!!!

We had a great time! Here are some things guests should consider in and around Ruidoso: Hike (duh), White Sands - 1 1/2 hour drive west (worth it), HOT TUB!, Billy the Kid Museum in Lincoln. Watch sunrises & sunsets & falling stars - awesome! Eat at: Cafe Rio - Pizza, Greek, local brew. Rivers Edge - wraps, soups, cupcakes. Advice: Bring or buy some jugs of water if you're not used to soft water.

A great view both inside and out. We had a WONDERFUL time. The kids explored nature outside and the adults thoroughly enjoyed the inside. Look forward to coming again.

Enjoyed our stay. Went to the races and casino at Inn of the Mountain Gods. Your hoime was perfect for us as we were three couples and each had their own floor. All were comfortable and felt at home and cozy.

We really enjoyed the house. Our first response was YEAH! there is a table that seats 8 comfortably, since we were planning on playing cards and games. The floor plan made it nice for people who got up early to fix coffee and sit on the patio for breathtaking views of Old Bald and allowed others to continue to sleep. The pool table in the basement was a hit, along with the dry sauna. There are no houses behind this one, so the scenery is magnificent. The place was very well stocked. The oven had 3 shelves, great for large groups. There is a convenient/gas station just at the end of the street for anything you might have left at home and need. The overseer came to welcome us and gave us info about some of the hiking trails in the area. We took him up on one. He also brought a fan down to drown out the occassional noise from the early risers. We would definitely recommend this house for your vacation, golfing, hiking, skiing, etc. It was great. Thanks for a restful vacation.

Recommended for: adventure seekers, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing
