Cabin on the Mountain: Your Private Forest Retreat
Welcome to Cabin on the Mountain, your ideal escape into nature! This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom custom log cabin envelops you in the enchanting embrace of the forest, where you can marvel at endless skies and encounter gentle wildlife, including deer, elk, and the occasional wild horse.
Designed for those who cherish privacy and tranquility, this cabin allows for daydreaming and relaxation. Step inside to discover a spacious living room, perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure. Enjoy your favorite shows on the flat-screen TV or cozy up next to the inviting wood-burning fireplace (firewood is NOT provided) for a warm and intimate ambiance.
The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to whip up home-cooked meals, complete with essential appliances and a dishwasher to simplify cleanup. For added convenience, a washer and dryer are available, and all towels and linens are professionally laundered before your arrival.
Step out onto the beautiful wooden deck to soak in the steaming hot tub, where you can melt your worries away while enjoying the serene mountain air. Gather around the patio table with your family and friends, making memories over meals and laughter. Don't forget to bring your four-legged companions, as this cabin is pet-friendly!
With central air-conditioning for your comfort, Cabin on the Mountain is the perfect place for your next getaway. Book your retreat today and embrace the beauty of mountain living!
PLEASE NOTE: Access may require a 4WD vehicle or chains during snowy conditions due to the steep driveway. Also, firewood is not provided.
Ruidoso, Alto, and surrounding areas: Submerse yourself within the towering pines of Lincoln County and watch local wildlife such as elk, deer, wild horses, turkey, birds, and more in their natural habitats. Plan a day basking in the stillness of our national forest while hiking, biking, or fishing, golfing at one of our multiple golf courses or spend a fun night out on the town at one of the area's local attractions! Be sure to swim or fish at the beautiful Grindstone or Alto Lake, delight your senses at Winter Park with roller coaster and tubing, and explore the ski slopes and hiking trails throughout Ski Apache. Win big at one of our three local casinos and enjoy the excitement of live quarter horse racing at Ruidoso Downs Racetrack. Be happy you took a respite from the concrete jungle. Come relax and refresh with us!
