"The Stone's Thoreau was absolutely amazing! We enjoyed every minute and didn't want to leave! Already planning our next trip:)
This incredible place was amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed the deck, the babbling river, and all the sightings of deer, elk, and birds. The cabin/home had all we needed and was very clean, plus lots of useful and private areas. The beds were so comfortable. It was easy to pull in and out, without stairs. Everything was super clean! Everyone in the office is super friendly and helpful! We felt very comfortable asking for anything."

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 "A Stone's Thoreau was much better than advertised. 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 nap in the sunroom, or listening to the river from bed, A Stone's Thoreau is the perfect escape for couples, small families, or anyone seeking a serene mountain getaway.
