Relax at our River Front Cabin in Historic Upper Canyon
This three bedroom, two bath rustic cabin property lies on the bank of the Ruidoso River with a mountain ridge on the other side. Private location at end of cul-de-sac. Enjoy this fully furnished, well-equipped home as you take in the mountain breezes rustling the tall pines. This cabin boasts a large master bedroom with Queen sized bed and adjoining bath with shower. Two Jack-and-Jill bedrooms, one with twin over full-size bunk beds, the other a twin bed only, share a bath. Relax in our spacious living area (queen sofa bed, if needed) which opens to dining and kitchen areas. Our flagstone patio is a highlight for our guests as they listen to the flow of the river. Take your chances on catching a trout or two, if you like! (Fishing license required 12 and older, not included). A better chance to see wildlife as they stroll through the property is almost guaranteed!

Overall this was an amazing place to stay, the wildlife that came through the back of the property along the creek was the best.

The cabin is very dated & plain. It had an old smell to it. Rustic is just a fancy way of saying "needs to be updated". It has a lot of character & could be very charming with just a few cosmetic tweaks. It was clean though. It was very quiet. So much so you could hear the now calm creek that runs along beside it. The wildlife was fun to watch.
It was awesome and relaxing by the River, our Maddie girl (poodle) loved it! Great place to stay with family plenty of room, we will definitely be back. Thank you we appreciate your hospitality
I really enjoyed the cabin. It was quiet and I really enjoyed the sound of the river while sitting outside. Had a group of 8 Deer that visited every day and 1 small elk

Thank you! Glad you were able to see some of the wildlife. The sound of the river is so relaxing. Unfortunately we do not know the extent of effects from recent forest fire yet. Praying for the Village of Ruidoso.
This was our second time in staying at this quaint cabin. The Rioduso river that runs along the property adds to the tranquil atmosphere of this cozy cabin nestled in the upper canyon community. We are looking forward to visiting again in the future.
