About this property

Whispering on the River - Tranquil hot tub - Riverside

Escape to the tranquil embrace of nature with a stay in our charming rustic cabin nestled along the enchanting Rio Ruidoso. This cabin offers an authentic wilderness experience, boasting original bark siding that blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.

Step out of your door and take in the sounds of the Rio, inviting you to embark on leisurely strolls along the water's edge or try your luck at fishing for a fresh dinner catch. The soothing sound of the flowing river sets the backdrop for relaxation and reflection, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and those seeking respite from the bustle of everyday life.

One of the true highlights of this retreat is the private deck and gazebo situated right next to the river. Here, you can unwind to the gentle rhythm of the Rio Ruidoso, enjoying breathtaking views and serenity that only a riverside location can offer.

Whether you seek an escape from the routine, a chance to reconnect with nature, or a cabin-in-the-woods experience, this cabin provides it all. Revel in the harmony of rustic authenticity and modern comforts as you create lasting memories along the Rio Ruidoso. Your private sanctuary awaits amidst the beauty of the natural world.

Whispering on the river

Cabin is in a good location, close to town. Plenty of room, exceptionally clean interior and exterior. Fun chairs overlooking the river. Very impressed! Completely furnished - all you need for a relaxing location surrounded by the tall trees swaying in the wind.

Nice small cabin

The cabin is small and it only has one bathroom, but it’s location is key. You’re very close to town and to most restaurants and local entertainment. There were two things I wasn’t crazy about: the full bed in the smaller room was a very uncomfortable and cheap bed; and there weren’t many throw-downs or comforters for everyone to warm up.

Thank you for your honest review, we will speak with the owner of the home and have these deficiencies inspected. That being said, we do not have any history of communication with you, had we known the bed was uncomfortable we could have provided your a mattress topper and had we known there were not enough blankets for your party we could have brought you some immediately. Please remember should you stay with us again we have round the clock maintenance and housekeeping staff.
