This great cabin features rare river frontage that does not look across the river to another house... just a view of the water, trees, and grass, with Sudderth Drive up above. Soak your weary muscles in the private hot tub or take the party inside for a round of foosball. You really can't go wrong with this riverfront house, situated right on a great stretch of the Rio Ruidoso with a central location. Guests entering into a spacious great room will immediately notice wood panel walls, high ceilings, lots of natural light, comfortable seating, a flat screen TV with DVD player, the open dining area, and a real wood burning stove for those chilly winter nights. A breakfast bar opens into the well-appointed kitchen, stocked with everything you need to prepare a delicious home-cooked meal. On the ground level, one guest bedroom has a queen-sized bed and the other features a king, with a shared bathroom. The upstairs level contains the master bedroom suite and a loft with a foosball table and other games. The roomy, well-lit master suite has a king-sized bed, a flat screen TV, a desk, and a trundle bed with two twin beds, as well as a private bathroom. As nice as the interior is, Sleepy Hollow on the River is all about enjoying the great outdoors. Expansive, covered upper and lower decks overlook the river with lots of outdoor seating. A gas grill is at your disposal, so bring your favorite grilling recipes. Last but not least, don't forget your bathing suit so you can enjoy a warm soak the private hot tub, out on the deck. Secluded privacy right on the river with quick access to the shopping and restaurants of downtown Ruidoso make this property a true gem. Please remember that Ruidoso is a mountain town with snow and icy conditions during the winter. This can affect driving and parking conditions regardless of the property, driveway, or roads.

Great little place by the river. Was very quiet and was right up the street from all the shops. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location with the Rio Ruidoso (creek) right out back and the shops just a walk away. Open kitchen and dinning area was ideal so everyone is able to hangout together.
Cabin was clean and very welcoming. Cabin was stocked and wood burning stove was a great bonus on the chilly nights.

Just a near perfect stay. Little issues: Water was off on arrival and two metal chairs on patio were broken but cabin is very well kept. River front was just amazing.

We are incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave us a 5-Star review.
The interior was filthy. Cobwebs and bugs. The location on the river was nice except for the construction equipment right outside the door.

Hi, Charlie! I wanted to apologize for the condition of the unit when you checked in. Our staff works diligently to ensure our guests receive a first-class experience, so I regret to hear we missed the mark on this occasion. But we'll be sure to conduct more thorough inspections moving forward, and we hope you'll give us the chance to make a future stay even better.
The cabin was dusty and could have used a good cleaning.. The beds were hard. But the hot tub was amazing. The living room and kitchen very comfy. We saw deer everyday outside the cabin. Walking distance to grocery store, restaurants and the strip. Great vacation!
We had a blast! The cabin had some issues, the heat wasn’t working that well, one of the toilets wasn’t working properly, but management brought us space heaters and sent a plumber to fix the toilet.
We loved the foosball table and the creek behind the cabin.
I would stay here again, but I wouldn’t pay the really high holiday price we paid again.

The cabin we rented was very nice. Had a few things that could be improved/updated in the cabin but overall was nice.

Everything was perfect, except a couple of things.
Everything was perfect except for a couple of things. 1. The stove burners were out of place had a hard time to try to put them in place had to cook in only 2 of them. 2. The maintenance man was cleaning the hot tub when we got to the cabin and he accidentally left the water off. My son looked for the water valve box until he found it later that day, we were without water for a while, other than that everything was perfect, we the adults and the kids enjoyed it to the max. We planning on rent it again.

Thank you for the great feedback. We would like to apologize about the water being off upon arrival. We hope to see you again!
Very nice place, but needs some more essential items
Patio furniture was broken / rickety. Kitchen essentials were minimal (no oven mitts / hot pads). Stove / oven was very small. Propane ran out after one meal. Air Conditioning froze up for 1-1/2 days (might need filters replaced)
The location was tremendous! Beautiful and peaceful!

Great relaxing days!!!
I loved the property. Fantastic location right on the river. Everything worked and was very clean and furnished well. The only reason for not allowing the perfect stay was that the upstairs (Master) bed is very uncomfortable. Needs to be replaced. Thanks again for finding this property. I will be a returning client.

Loved our Relaxing getaway!!
We loved that the house had everything we needed for a relaxing long weekend!!
We enjoyed cooking out on the great deck overlooking the River. The calmness and Tranquility that came from the sound of the flowing river was truly awesome!! We enjoyed seeing the ducks bathing in the water as well as feeding the deer every morning. The Jacuzzi was a big plus!! We will definitely rent this property again.

Everything but the beds!
I really, really wanted to give this home 5 stars, but I just can't. The beds are AWFUL. We all woke up stiff and grumpy. I highly suggest that the owners replace the mattresses. Other than that, the house was great. Perfect location, beautiful surroundings, great customer service.
