Aspen Springs Angel Fire

Beautiful setting, new nicely furnished cabin with modern amenities and features, friendly staff, great communication, reasonable price. We loved it! Good location, close to town but felt like you were in the woods! Hiking trails just outside the door, deer wandering through the site, ...

I cannot give this place a high enough review - BEST place our group has ever stayed at in over 15 years of traveling!!!!! The property is so beautiful, the "cabins" are really high-end houses, and the owners have a fantastic system of check-in and support. So beautifully decorated, kitchen is completely filled with everything you would need, sleep number (and heated beds), they thought of every little detail you could want!! We all were pulling trailers, and there was plenty of room to park and unhitch. Wonderful game cabin and firepit! We have already booked again for next year. Do not miss this place - it is amazing!

My hesitance of giving a 4-star rating is based on two issues that I feel have some safety risks associated with the entrance to the units. Pulling out of the VRBO cabins entrance is a risky task. Highway 434 and the road to the units is dirt(gravel) to asphalt. It had large ruts between the two resulting in a slow speed bump entrance to 434. The highway has a speed limit of 45 but leaving the premises a little risky. Acceleration limitations due to the ruts/uneven transition, plus a limited short view, near blind spot of traffic coming from the south (north bound lane). I almost ran out on a work truck because I could not accelerate onto the highway, directly due to the forementioned transition (dirt/gravel to asphalt). I would recommend putting an asphalt pad that connects to the road so you can enter with some urgency if needed. I like the gravel roads, but a car length asphalt or solid pad would have better and smoother transition and not wash away or develop the divots, washboard ruts speed type bumps due to weather. Secondly, nighttime and finding the entrance. The entrance to the cabins is not that visible. Even with GPS it was difficult to hit the entrance. Appreciate the privacy and hidden entry but having to slow to crawl speed (road with 45 mph speed limit) should have been avoided. The entry has two street lamps and shocks me they we not on or working, that could have helped with this issue. The flags and sign sit back from the road a few feet, small, mixed in with trees, you cannot spot them until you are on the entrance (at 45 mph little tough). Need to make the entrance more obvious especially at night. Passed the two recommendations I suggest correcting, the cabin we stayed in was near perfect. I would return and recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for nice accommodations. All other aspects i.e. cleanliness, privacy, wifi, bath, bedrooms were near prefect. Hot water was a little slow to heat up, so felt like we was wasting water. Water did heat up but had a longer than normal wait.

My wife and I were headed back home to NW Arkansas from visiting a few places in S Central NM. Our planned route showed we weren’t too far from Angel Fire. We have never been there but had heard about it so we took a detour to Angel Fire. It was so beautiful there we decided to try and find a place to stay over night. A quick google search showed Aspen Springs with an affordable rate that showed one cabin available. So, we drove there and booked the cabin for one night. While I was in the office, I saw 2 deer right behind the cabin we were staying in. The place was beautiful and the cabin was pleasantly surprising. It was perfect! Very clean and modern. We will definetly stay here again, this time with a “planned” trip to Angel Fire! We absolutely loved it!
