About this property

River Ridge Retreat: Cozy yet modern with private hot tub and amazing views. Dog friendly.

Come enjoy to the sights and sounds of nature at 'River Ridge Retreat'! This adorably cozy, well appointed and comfortable cabin is set atop a hill looking down towards Midtown Ruidoso and has a wonderful view of the mountains on the horizon! River Ridge is just minutes from downtown Ruidoso, but is built on the 'ridge' of the mountainside making it feel secluded and centralized at the same time; you can even hear the sound of the Rio Ruidoso River below! Wake up each day to the sun welcoming you in the over-sized sunroom or next to the fireplace with a cup of coffee, warm breakfast, and an incredible view of the mountains. In the evenings, whip up an amazing meal in the kitchen or on the grill and eat outside to soak in the mountain air. Afterwards, have a soak in the private hot tub located on the bottom deck of the home, secluded from neighbors while still allowing you to enjoy the sights around you. This cabin is perfect for a small family retreat or a romantic getaway! Bring your fur friends along too as River Ridge welcomes dogs (limit 2) and has a perfect wrap around, completely fenced in backyard with a few neat walking paths within. This quaint home is approximately 1224 sq ft and while it may have only 2 bedrooms, it has BIG personality (inside and out)! Each bedroom has a "theme" with unique flair that you'll love and that flows perfectly in with the "mountain décor" throughout the rest of the home! You'll have a wonderful, relaxing time at River Ridge Retreat! Living room has window unit air conditioning only. Gas fireplace.

Comfy and Cozy
Loved this property. Great fenced in backyard for our dogs. Close to town but still had great Mountain View's. Hot tub was ready when we arrived. Beds were very comfortable. I would definitely rent here again.

Gorgeous Cabin with Fantastic Views, Great Location!
I cannot speak highly enough of this cabin. We've stayed at several properties in Ruidoso, and this has been by far the cleanest, most spacious, and most well-stocked. The views of the forest were stunning, and the place was the perfect balance of secluded and close to town. We very much enjoyed the privacy of the hot tub and deck and were glad to see a variety of games available for us to play in the evening (we also left a chess set there for others to enjoy). We will visit Ruidoso again, and we will only stay at this property from now on. Again, I cannot speak highly enough of this place!
