Nice location near midtown (walkable) amd near Grindstone Lake. Plenty of wildlife around as well. The hottub was nice and tje kids enjoyed the gameroom although the pool table was a bit wobbly and the ping pong net was broken. Overall a solid stay
Absolutely beautiful property and home, the hot tub at night is a MUST!! The game room is a bit dated and the pool table is tilted so it is kind of hard to play but everything else was amazing! Ruidoso is a wonderful little town and this place was the perfect distance from everything we wanted to do!
Our family of 6 had the best week at License to Chill. The kitchen was stocked great for cooking meals, the game room and hot tub kept everyone busy. No one wanted to leave the house.
The house is comfortable and had everything we needed to chill. Hot tub was hot and the game room was fun. It has a bit of wear and tear but everything works and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good time.
I stayed here on a weekend getaway with my son and two of his friends from NMSU. The property was central to everything. The hot tub was a welcome respite from our busy days of golf and hiking. The game room/man cave was simple but absolutely perfect for the older teens. We would definitely stay here again.

The pool table need maintenance, have missing screws in the feets of the table AND dont have enough stability, need a good kit of darts, this room Is a very good place to enjoy but really need maintenance.
Our family of 4 enjoyed out stay at License to Chill very much. The cabin was in a great location! It was close to everything in town and had all the amenities we needed. We found a few ants in the bathroom, but that's nature! All in all, the place was very clean and comfortable. We will consider staying at this location again in the future. Hummingbird Cabins was very accommodating. Since we arrived in town earlier than expected, they let us check in at 2pm at no extra cost. Although we didn't use the hot tub, there was one at the property.
Comfortable beds, lots of room! Highly recommend this place.
License to Chill was the perfect place for our guy’s golf weekend. Excellent property management with clear communications every step of the way. Cabin was just as advertised. Not fancy but perfectly functional. Highly tecommended and would stay again.

Beautiful cabin, awesome game room, amazing hot tub, and great location! Very clean cabin with pleanty of room for my wife, six kids, and I. The lake was a little more than a half mile away and only took about an hour to catch 4 trout. Lots of wild life all around! Also close to shopping and a cool little pizza joint Pizza Rio (very delicious!).
We will definitely stay again!!!
