Soak up the mountain air in the private hot tub. Grill on the gas or charcoal grills! This cabin is located in the Upper Canyon, just a short walk away from the Rio Ruidoso River! Wildlife is never far away… here you will see deer, turkey, elk, and in the warmer months, you may even see a black bear!

Beautiful location
It was a perfect mountain getaway for us and our dog. We did a summer weekend retreat from the heat, but it is a great place any season. The hosts were very nice and easy going. Quiet with increidble views. Will stay again when in Ruidoso!!
