About this property

4 Bears Cabin, Ruidoso (Alto), NM

The stunning 4 Bears Cabin is in beautiful Alto, New Mexico, at the base of the majestic 12,000 ft Sierra Blanca mountain. Located just north of Ruidoso, at an altitude of 7,500 ft, this breathtaking Montana Log Cabin sleeps up to 15 and is an excellent vacation retreat suitable for large family gatherings. 4 Bears is your perfect home base for the horse races, holidays, skiing, golfing, hunting, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, weddings or shopping. It is also the perfectly peaceful retreat to just sit on the deck and listen to the breeze through the tall pines, read a book, or watch wildlife.

The Cabin has approximately 2,800 square feet and includes 4 bedrooms, 2 of which are private Master Suites with King beds and on-suite bathrooms. There are also 2 lower level (1 King and 1 Queen) bedrooms that share a bathroom. The loft upstairs has 2 twin beds with a single futon. Additionally, the two separate living areas each have hide-a-bed couches and TVs.

The main level Great room has a beautiful freestanding gas fireplace with a breathtaking view of the tall pines through a two-story glassed wall. In addition to the cozy fireplace (that puts out a ton of heat!) there are two separate high efficiency furnaces for the lower and main levels. The 4 Bears Cabin has both a water softener and a reverse osmosis system ideal for drinking water, coffee, and tea. The full kitchen has modern appliances with a new super quiet dishwasher. The cabinets are fully stocked with all pots, pans, dishes, and utensils you will need. There is a huge stainless gas grill on the deck for those thick Ribeyes or Brats, and a large Blackstone griddle for a huge breakfast.

Log stairs lead up to the loft overlooking the windowed living area. The two main level master suites have French doors opening onto the large back deck that spans the entire rear of the cabin. The deck has beautiful views of the trees and mountains and is an excellent area for relaxing and enjoying the wildlife and birds. A small creek (Little Creek) runs through the bottom of the property. Elk, deer, black bears, wild horses, turkey, and other wildlife are abundant in the area.

4 Bears Cabin is located at 115 Mogul Rd, Alto, NM 88312, about 5 miles north of Ruidoso on Hwy 48 (Mechem Drive), across from Alto Country Club. Maps, MapQuest and most GPS programs will bring you right to the front door. The road is paved all the way to a new circular gravel driveway that has plenty of parking.

Sorry, No Pets, No Smoking, and No fires are permitted.

Best VRBO property ever
Our family has stayed at numerous VRBO properties in New Mexico over the years and this one was the best in every way. It was clean, nicely furnished, beautiful location, close to town, and the property manager and housekeeper were very responsive. We had a wonderful, relaxing family time together. We all agree we want to stay at this property again next summer.

Very Satisfied
Beautiful place and a great location. Beautiful view from the back deck with an abundance of birds and deer everywhere. Loved the way the cabin was layered out with lower, main, and upstairs loft. Would recommend this cabin if you are planning a trip to Ruidoso.

Fun Family Getaway
There was plenty of room for our group of 5 adults and 6 kids taking an extended weekend trip for some late February skiing at Ski Apache. The cabin was perfect with all the necessary accommodations. Communication with Kelly was prompt and he sent someone by to address a couple of minor challenges we had. We’ll be back the next time we have a family ski trip to NM. I highly recommend 4 Bears Cabin! P.S. The kids loved tossing apples, carrots, and berries to the herd of mule deer that made a daily appearance.

4 Bears Cabin
My family loved the cabin overall and it’s location. The spacious cabin was perfect for us. A family of deer would visit us every morning. We definitely recommend your stay at the 4 Bears cabin.

About the host

Hosted by KELLY BRANSCOM

Host profile image
We have lived in New Mexico over 20 years and this area is our absolute favorite place to be. We just love spending time at this special place with our grandkids and friends. We often take motorcycle trips in the beautiful Sacramento Mountains and this is the perfect home base.

Why they chose this property

We chose Sun Valley in Alto (Ruidoso), NM for the cool mountain air, the proximity to great vacation sites, good restaurants, shopping, horse racing, casinos, and the casual atmosphere of a vacation area.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy sitting on the large back deck in the serene mountainous area, viewing wildlife (deer, elk, bears, wild horses) and the variety of beautiful birds. We are close to Spencer Theatre and the Flying J Ranch which provides high quality live entertainment on a regular basis.
