About this property

Luxury Cabin! Upper Canyon Lookout -Sierra Blanca view close to town

Upper Canyon Lookout’s views of the Lincoln National Forest and Sierra Blanca Mountain are spectacular from inside as well as from the huge 455 sq. ft. deck. The mountain views and quiet surroundings provide a feeling of seclusion, but the Ruidoso shopping district and restaurants are just 2 miles down the mountain. In addition to the views, the deck is a favorite area for relaxing in the cool mountain breeze while watching the wildlife. deer, hummingbirds, and turkeys are frequent visitors with an occasional sighting of fox, elk, and bear. In the summer, our family loves to cook on the deck’s gas grill and enjoy all our meals outside on the deck’s dining and picnic tables.
During winter weather, your family and friends can enjoy the same mountain views from our large open living room, kitchen and dining area with vaulted wood ceiling and beautiful stone gas-log fireplace (instant on/off for your convenience and pleasure). Stay entertained playing board games, cards, dominos, WII, catching up on old times, or watching the 55” Smart LED HDTV . DVD player is provided and surround sound is available for TV, DVD and radio. The Smart LED HDTV in living area & in all 4 bedrooms connect to our internet. Living room & Master bedroom have HULU live TV. Use your personal account to watch Netflix, Prime, HULU etc. on all TVs.
Our single-level cabin has a 2-car carport, WIFI, central heat, air conditioning, richly grained cabinetry, granite counter tops, unique tiling, and wood tone flooring throughout. Each of the 4 bedrooms has its own bathroom, ceiling fan, and an HDTV smart TV. 3 bedrooms have king-size beds and 1 bedroom has a queen-size bed. The fully- equipped kitchen has a large bar, dishwasher, and room for multiple cooks. The laundry room provides a washer, dryer; sink, iron & ironing board, and room to store your golf clubs or ski boots.
While Upper Canyon Lookout provides many ways to make new memories, there are many things to see and enjoy in the area. See the map section for our cabin's proximity to some favorite activities.

Our favorite home in Ruidoso

This is our favorite home in Ruidoso. It was our 4th stay and once again, everything was perfect. The house is clean, inviting and well-stocked. The large, covered deck has beautiful mountain views and is the perfect place for a morning cup and coffee and viewing the Ruidoso wildlife. We look forward to our next visit!

About the host

Hosted by Terry and Carlene

Host profile image
My family has been building memories in Ruidoso since the early 1950's. The early days were spent in my grandparent's cabin. In 2018, we were fortunate to build our new family cabin to continue the tradition. In sharing our cabin with you, we hope you will start your own tradition of memory making in beautiful Ruidoso.

Why they chose this property

We knew we had to continue our tradition in the nostalgic upper canyon historic district. Over the years, we hiked to the new location of our home admiring the beautiful views, wildlife, and solitude; dreaming of one day being lucky enough to have a cabin in the location. Our dreams became a reality in July 2018.

What makes this property unique

The Lincoln National Forest and Sierra Blanca Mountain views are spectacular. The quiet surroundings provide a feeling of seclusion, but the Ruidoso shopping district and restaurants are just 2 miles down the mountain. In addition to the views, the deck is a favorite area for relaxing in the cool mountain breeze while watching the wildlife. Deer, hummingbirds, and turkeys are frequent visitors with an occasional sighting of fox, elk, and bear.
