Aspen Springs Angel Fire

Amanda was amazing and most helpful. Facilities are top notch and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend and we will return. The town of Angel fire is quaint and charming. All service people that we came in contact with were exceedingly polite.

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.
