The cabin is so cozy and clean, it was the perfect size for our sister's trip and hopefully we will rent it every year. The fact that it is dog friendly was great, my sister doesn't like traveling without her dog. The beds are very comfortable and having two bathrooms is a plus. Kitchen is well stocked.

If you are looking for a good place to lay your head this is the place. Nice cozy cabin that does the job. Early mornings you are met with the wild life while drinking your coffee that the Ruidoso river that’s in the back yard.

Peaceful retreat

This was our second time in staying at this quaint cabin. The Rioduso river that runs along the property adds to the tranquil atmosphere of this cozy cabin nestled in the upper canyon community. We are looking forward to visiting again in the future.
