About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Relax with peaceful river views and wildlife sightings. A perfect retreat.

This picturesque cabin is surrounded by tranquil sights. Nestled between the Lincoln National Forest and the Ruidoso River, the property boasts frequent sightings of deer, turkey, elk, and the beloved Ruidoso wild horses. The hot tub, oversized deck, and screened porch are perfect vantage points to observe nature at its best. Access to town with the varied activities Ruidoso has to offer is a short ride or pleasant walk away. The location could not be better.
Walk out the back door into the Lincoln National Forest. Out front, soothing sounds from the river give a special kind of peace. The secluded deck feels like lounging in a tree house, and the Weber gas grill and upscale patio furniture accommodates the best in outdoor dining. The hot tub provides private relaxation with peaceful views of the brilliant stars at night. It is the perfect way to soothe weary muscles after a day of hiking.
This romantic retreat is designed to pamper you with quality linens, bathrobes, comfortable furnishings, and cozy throws. An abundance of windows allows plenty of natural light and cool mountain air. No short-cuts were taken here. The kitchen has everything you can imagine including a full array of dishes, drinkware and cookware, and a generously stocked pantry. Choose to dine either inside or outside on the screened porch or deck, each with amazing views and the sounds of nature. Morning coffee on the screened porch while listening to the hummingbirds nearby is an experience to savor.
Whether you are enjoying the cabin by yourself or with your loved ones, this retreat will be deeply refreshing. The spacious bedroom has one queen bed, and there is a foldaway cot to accommodate a child. The well-lit bathroom has hair styling accessories, heated floor, and a full-sized tub with shower. The entire cabin exudes the charm of aged pine and tastefully appointed updates. Parking is provided under the deck with stairs leading to the back door.
For your safety and convenience, the property has contactless check-in and keyless entry. Pets are welcome with a prepaid fee. There is no smoking allowed anywhere on the property.
Come and enjoy! You won’t want to leave.

Perfect Mountain Getaway

Perfect trip to get out of the rat race and relax. The cabin was charming and stocked with absolutely everything anyone would need. My favorite part was having coffee on the screened in back porch in the mornings and seeing and hearing all the birds sing. While there we saw so much wildlife - deer, elk (with baby) and a black bear with her 3 cubs. Also, communication with the owner was great!

5 Star Experience (Cutest Little Cabin Ever)

Starting 2025 off in New Mexico relaxing, visiting from Oklahoma! We enjoyed our stay at the cabin so much! It was easy to find, charming, and home like. I've never stayed at a cabin that was SSOOO accommodating (crock pot, spices, condiments, detergent, etc.)! I bought groceries and when not skiing/shopping/or out for dinner, we were hanging out at the cabin. Our 7 year old felt like it was home away from home. We saw Elk, Deer, and Wild Horses in the neighborhood! This was much needed time relaxing as a family. I could tell through our very limited interactions that the Chambers are great people, very kind and generous. Thank you for making this experience one we will not forget! Blessings and best wishes in 2025!The Babb Family

Peaceful and Cool, even in June

The hostess is fabulous, and thinks of everything you might need. She is also very responsive and polite. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The front and back porches offered a beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable start and end to the day. Being in the Upper Canyon the temperature is mild during the day, and cool during the evenings. Will definitely revisit in the future.

The Perfect Cabin?

It is entirely possible that our expectations for this property were unreasonably high, so how did it manage to exceed them? The location is phenomenal- a canyon cabin at the base of a wilderness area, surrounded by properties that have been in the same families for generations. There is a real sense of community if you choose to engage with others, but equally a sense of privacy & solitude when that is what you prefer. The LOVE that the Crawfords have for this cabin is so evident & the work they have done to restore and maintain it is impressive. The entire back of the property opens to a wilderness area full of deer, turkey, elk & wild horses. If you are a bird nerd (like me) I can happily say I saw several that were first time views here AND even got to hear a short bit of Western Whippoorwill song. It was magical. We didn’t spend a ton of time inside because outside you have an elevated deck with a terrific view of the surrounds, a hot tub (which we didn’t get to use THIS time) & a screened in porch that connects to the bedroom. But the inside is very comfortable and VERY cozy with big beautiful windows all the way around, a lovely bed and a nicely updated kitchen. Apparently I only have 1500 characters to wrap this up SO- Cindi is an incredibly gracious host, the property is as close to perfect as I believe possible and you should stop reading this & book it for yourself. It is hands down one of our favorite places we’ve ever stayed & we can’t wait to come back! ❤️

Our Cabin in the Woods

This quiet, secluded interlude was perfect for us. Cozy with everything we needed. And on our last day God even sent us a small herd of deer out the kitchen window, Big Daddy, just as our host said! Thank you for this beautiful memory.

Ruidoso

It was a great place to stay, but you cannot just walk across to the river. There are homes all around; so it's private property. You have to drive out to the trails. I contacted the owner about hiking from their back yard, but never heard from them. Place was cute. Bathroom was tiny, tub had dead bugs in it. And the shelves, fixtures were dusty which set off my allergies. The hot tub was a plus.
