Happy Days Inn: Find Comfort & Joy

Happy days are ready to greet you in this cozy cabin, just minutes from the heart of downtown Ruidoso. Kick back on the deck with a year-round private hot tub, where you can soak up mountain views and catch glimpses of Sierra Blanca. Inside, unwind in the inviting living room, featuring Wi-Fi and a smart TV with streaming—perfect for cozy nights in. The rustic kitchen, with beautiful views of Ruidoso's nature, sets the scene for home-cooked meals.

Adventure is nearby! Just a 7-minute drive takes you to a dog park, a kids' playground, and a scenic 3-mile walking path. Wingfield Park, with a smaller paved trail, is only a 3-minute walk away. Even your furry family members will feel right at home—stop by the nearby dog store (just a 2-minute walk!) to pick up a special treat or keepsake. Happy Days Inn is an ideal retreat for relaxing and creating special memories in beautiful Ruidoso!

Be sure to swim or fish at the beautiful Grindstone or Alto Lake, delight your senses at Winter Park with roller coaster and tubing, and explore the ski slopes and hiking trails throughout Ski Apache. Win big at one of our three local casinos and enjoy the excitement of live quarter horse racing at Ruidoso Downs Racetrack. Be happy you took a respite from the concrete jungle.

Great Location

We had such a refreshing stay at this charming cabin! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how spotless and well kept everything was. It’s clear the hosts take great care in preparing the space, and all the necessities were thoughtfully provided, making it feel warm and welcoming.One of the biggest perks was being just a short walk from downtown. It made exploring the area incredibly easy and added so much convenience to our trip. Morning coffee runs and evening strolls were a breeze!This cabin strikes the perfect balance of comfort, cleanliness, and location. We’d absolutely stay here again!

No complaints!

The property was exactly what we needed for our quick getaway. Had everything we could have wanted. Only one small complaint, the bedroom closest to the bathroom, the carpet was dirty and had a weird smell to it. But, we gladly used the other room and have no complaints.

It's a place to stay lol

It could use a really good cleaning and some updates. The area probably isn't the best lots of broken down homes could be from the fire not sure, definitely sketch. Hot tub was nice but a pain getting the lock off completely open no privacy. Price was okay. Would stay again on a fishing trip where Im not spending much time in the cabin. But for scenery and a cabin mostly stay I will probaby pass on this. It is very close to the shopping scene if thats your thing. The host is great with communication. no privacy

Son's first ski trip

Place was great. Just as advertised. Hot tub and proximity to mid-town was reason we chose. The shower head was not able to be pointed down for kid and wife. Im tall so it was fine for me, but that was all they would say. Kid loved the heater coming out of the floor grate :) Kid was able to feed deer out of his hand and pet. We will definitely try to get this place next trip. Thank you

Ruidoso

Had a great time. Good location with 360 views! The lights were way too bright in the fixtures, just saying, lower wattage would be more ambient. The front door dead bolt didn't work, but they did offer to come fix it. Instructions said leave dirty towels on washing machine, but there was no washing machine. We loved the cabin and hope to come back for a longer stay. Thank you

Excellent in all ways but one

Great cabin, great neighborhood and excellent amenities. Only exception is that it is time for the mattresses to be changed on both beds. They look great until you sleep on them. They totally sink in and send you to the middle and are hard on the back and neck. Otherwise, can’t say enough great things about this place! Thank you!

All good. A few things could be done to make the stay more Awesome. Shower Head needs more pressure, washed hair in kitchen sink, due to no pressure. Wash Clothes and a small frying pan to fry eggs, scrambled would be great. All else great. Thanks for Xmas tree, made my trip.

Nice for small party

Great location near the main drag but not noisy (more below). Limited dining places - small table for maybe 4 and pony counter in kitchen. Picnic table outside. A/C unit and fans helpful in summer. Quiet street, though the exercise club started classes around 7 AM, as I heard the instructor through the rear bedroom window. Shower a bit small. Did see elk, deer, and wild horses in the area. If it is just me coming to play golf again, will be under consideration.
