About this property
Northern Star - Unique Cabin, Hot Tub, Pets okay, close to Skiing, Track, Casino
This Ruidoso home-away-from-home boasts a cozy cabin feel with a modern twist, featuring 2 bedrooms, a loft, 2 bathrooms and 1,350 square feet of space, 'Northern Star' is perfectly suited for up to 4 guests. From this vacation cabin you're 7 minutes from the center of Ruidoso, 15-18 minutes to Ruidoso Downs Race Track & Casino, 6 miles to Inn of the Mountain Gods Casino, and 16 miles from Ski Apache! Cook out on the gas grill or explore the fabulous restaurants downtown or on Mechem Dr.
The space
Please note, the first floor of the property is wheelchair accessible but all of the other floors require the use of stairs to access and may not be suitable for those with impaired mobility* This is a tri-level cabin. The first level has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The second level has kitchen and living room; the third level consists of the loft.
Master Bedroom: King Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Loft
High ceilings further open the living space while wooden walls, doors, and window panes echo the forested outdoors. Enjoy views of the trees through the many windows and make yourself comfortable in this true home-away-from-home.
A large sectional sofa sits in front of a beautiful wood-burning fireplace and a flat-screen Smart TV. (Please note that we Do Not provide firewood. For your convenience we do provide one Duraflame fire log and prefer fire logs be used in lieu of wood) Light a fire to set the mood for family movie night!
The open kitchen is fantastic for entertaining, fully equipped and boasting plenty of space. Serve inside or step out to the deck and dine on the deck. There's even a gas grill when you're in the mood for barbecue.
When you're ready to call it a night, retreat to one of 2 bedrooms. The master bedroom and the guest bedroom are both equipped with flat-screen Smart TVs. Fall asleep to your favorite show, or surf the web through the wireless internet access to plan tomorrow's adventures.

About the host
Hosted by Dennis White

We’ve travelled to Ruidoso for almost 50 years and absolutely love it. We came for the skiing, horse racing, golf, shopping and the general sense peace offered by the enchanting pines and quaint village. We are now retired and find ourselves fortunate enough to have a home here in this little piece of heaven and are we’re eager to share it with you. Come stay at the Northern Star and enjoy everything Ruidoso has to offer.
Our full-time home is in Roanoke, Texas. We love to go camping and fishing and enjoy the great outdoors. We have been married 47 years and have one energetic 7 year old grandson who keeps us busy. Hopefully we can meet you in Ruidoso sometime. Y’all come.
