About this property

Pet-Friendly [no fee!] A-Frame Cabin w/ Double-decker Mountain View & Hot Tub

Highlighted by an expansive wrap-around porch and second story balcony, this 3bed/2bath retreat offers breathtaking panoramic views of the beautiful mountains surrounding Ruidoso. The exterior also boasts a well-maintained hot tub to soak up the bubbles and views year-round. The cozy interior features a wood-burning fireplace, new central heat & air conditioning, and flat screen TVs in the rooms. Sleeps 10.

This comfy and cozy 3BR/2BA mountain cabin is the perfect getaway for couples or a large family. In an amazing location, you'll easily be able to take advantage of everything Ruidoso and the surrounding area have to offer.

Pretty much as close to the Ski Apache recreation area as you can possibly get, this hideaway is also a quick 10-minute drive to the heart of downtown Ruidoso's unique shops, restaurants, wineries, and breweries -- as well as all the amazing amenities nearby for kids or the young at heart!

Our family has been in Ruidoso for decades after my grandfather brought the family here in the 1960s to build the ski lift on the mountain. We look forward to sharing the natural beauty of our little paradise on earth with you!

He cabin was perfect just as we had seen online , not to far from town and a fenced in backyard for our furbabies . The bed was a little uncomfortable due to us being use to a bed being a little more firm but overall everything was great! I would stay at this cabin again in the future

This was a very nice house in a great location. Everything was very clean and well stocked. Our host was friendly and responsive. The beautiful town of Ruidoso was only minutes away and there were several other interesting destinations not far from the house. Any issues we might've had were addresses immediately. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs. And there were nights where we saw deer, elk and wild horses. I highly recommend and would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Amber Walker

Host profile image

We are a family of 3 with roots in Austin, Connecticut, and New Mexico. We have 2 beloved fur babies who love this home in the mountains and all the lovely *friends* who come visit (elk, wild horses, hummingbirds, ravens, and deer). We love to travel and experience new places through the eyes of a local by renting through VRBO.
My father was born and raised in Ruidoso so I've been coming here my whole life. It's really blossomed into a wonderful town that has so much of what we love---small local businesses with the best crafts, activities, food, beer, and wine you can find anywhere. All while keeping the wild nature that makes this oasis so spectacular.

Why they chose this property

This is a darling A-frame cabin with all the comforts of home. It's cozy and can accommodate a large family, a couple couples, or just you and your sweetie. We pride ourselves in quick communication and mutual understanding and trust with our guests. We want you to love your stay and come back soon!
