The sound of the Rio Ruidoso is wonderful and relaxing. The hot tub was also nice on cool nights. The inside is very nice and clean; I love how you can look out the dining room window and see the Rio Ruidoso and the fall scenery -- we ate all of our meals there as a family. The master bedroom had plenty of room and closet space; both bathrooms were nice. The kitchen was very nice; all sheets and towels were good. TV and internet worked great. Just right for four or five people. You can be on Meachem in like 2 minutes; and no steep hills to worry about. Figuring out which driveway it is was a little tricky the first time, but you can't beat this place. We'll definitely stay here again." --------------------------------------------------------- Whether you're soaking in the hot tub under the stars, enjoying a peaceful morning coffee in the sunroom, or listening to the river sounds from bed, A Stone's Thoreau is the perfect escape for couples, small families, or anyone seeking a serene mountain getaway.
