Lovely Cabin

We stayed 4 nights at Little Bear. The entire process was great - the owner communicated via text for months with me to make sure we had a good trip. Check in was so easy, the place is clean and comfortable. Great location to all the fun things in town! Highly recommend :)

Mountain Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Little Bear Cabin in Ruidoso. The cabin was clean and quiet. It had everything we needed comfortable bed, warm jacuzzi, large refrigerator, propane grill, nearby trails and wildlife. We saw deer, elk and the feral horses. Located in a lovely area, only a short drive into town and to the trail heads at Grindstone Lake and Perk Canyon. Our host, Adrian, was welcoming and available for any questions. A wonderful break in the mountains. We hope to return.

Cute, cozy cabin! Loved the location and decor.

We all enjoyed our stay! Everything clean and convenient. It snowed while we were there and it was beautiful! The only thing we felt was needed was a departure check off list in the notebook. Tried the Alexa but were unsuccessful. Hope we cleaned up okay!!

Will NOT be staying here again!

We enjoyed our stay. We carefully followed all rules and instructions by the owner. We left the cabin in order and clean. However, after we checked out we received notification that our credit card would be charged for these outrageous charges. BEWARE! They will look for bogus charges to nail you with. We were planning a trip next year and were going staying at this cabin until we got this bull crap charge. We will not be back. Extremely disappointed. Don’t waste your money. So many more beautiful cabins in the area. Very close to other houses as well.

Loved the Little Bear Cabin

We loved the cabin and the location of it! Check in and check out was super easy. My only thing is that I did not realize the 3rd bedroom was a loft you could not stand up in and we traveled with our adult children. But would still stay there again.

Lovely Stay

We had a lovely stay at Little Bear cabin. It was clean, comfortable, and very cozy. The hot tub was a plus! Also, the location was very convenient...far enough to have quiet privacy; however, it was near everything we needed (i.e., gas station, shops, restaurants). We loved it!

Great cabin! Can’t wait to go back

We had a great time at the cabin. The check-in was super easy. The views and the cabins were as advertised or even better. The hot tub was an extra bonus. Communication with the owner was awesome and always helpful. There were lots of convenient extras in the cabin that made our stay special even complimentary wine that was delicious. We will definitely be back.
