About this property

Secluded Mountain Cabin

Welcome to our cabin! We have enjoyed many happy days here and hope you will too.
The cabin is secluded and located on the side of a mountain with views of the Capitan Mountains. Local folklore claim that Capitan Mountain is where Smokey the Bear was adopted by the US Forestry Service to be their mascot when a Forest ranger happened upon a bear stomping out a camp fire many years ago.

The home is professionally decorated with stainless appliances, granite countertops, 3 flat screen TV's with dvd players and an extensive movie collection for your use. There are also 2 wireless speakers. This home does not have a dining room but rather island seating and a bar height table for four. Outdoors on the same level, there is a dining table with four chairs as well. We have a 6 foot portable dining table and linens it you want a more formal setting while dining.

The deer and elk regularly cross our property and the turkeys act as your alarm clock each morning.
Located just 3.3 miles north of the turn off to Apache Ski Mountain and Ruidoso's Winter Park (a premier tubing and snow park area). This cozy cabin is remote and secluded but close to everything. Shopping in Ruidoso is excellent and minutes away as is the Inn of The Inn of the mountain Gods resort and casino. Ruidoso Downs Race Track and Spencer Theater is 1.5 miles. Noisy Water Winery is in the neighborhood and walking distance. The winery has tastings and a petting zoo.

The elevation on the upper deck is 7,800 feet and the only sounds are the wind thru the pines. On a clear night you can see millions of stars that light up the cabin. You'll be amazed at the shooting stars while relaxing on the double chaise lounge.

Level one is the bar, a den with flat screen tv, wireless speaker and two bedroom two bath suites, each bedroom has it’s own private shower/bath. The den sofa makes into a queen bed if needed. Bedroom #1 has a double bed and a twin bed. Bedroom #2 has a queen bed and access to the outdoors via a private entrance.
Level two is the kitchen and living area with a ½ bath. It is fully furnished and has modern appliances including filtered water, cable TV and a wireless speaker.
Level 3 is the Master Bedroom with a King bed and bath featuring a shower and tub. Wake up to amazing views out the bedroom and bathroom windows. Total guest sleeping capacity is 7 in beds with a sleeper sofa for approved additional guests.

This is a truly amazing house for use in the winter with skiing, tubing, hiking and much more. The summers are warm days and cool nights with national horse racing at Ruidoso Downs. Shopping is just minutes away as well as three popular casinos You'll find yourself wanting to return time and time again.

Short getaway
This was a short get away for my wife and I and my best friend and his wife. We have been friends for over 40 years. This cabin is absolutely beautiful. The split level gives privacy but easy access to the main area of the house. The cabin is a short distance from town making it very convenient. We absolutely loved being able to watch the wildlife. We had elk, mule deer, turkey and even a coyote to keep us entertained. This place is amazing. We would love to stay again.

Home away from Home
What a wonderful week we had at the cabin. This is truly a Home away from Home. They provided just about everything you need. The cabin is comfortable and we spent a lot of time and enjoyed it tremendously, you definitely get your exercise though, up and down the floors, (which didn’t hurt us). The king bed was comfortable for us. The internet was slow (as warned) but that was ok, it did the job for us. We enjoyed feeding the animals: turkeys, deer, elk and a even a horse. The deer and turkeys were always ready for a meal . A trip to town is not too far down the road where we enjoyed a few good places to eat. This was the perfect cabin for us because of all the privacy and the wildlife.

We loved the area so much that when we found this unique cabin we knew it was for us. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

It is the most unique log cabin we have ever seen and it was love at first site. There are many homes available in the area however this one is truly unique. The huge white cedar logs are from Canada and have copper clad windows. We love that all the bedrooms have their own baths and there is a downstairs bar area complete with coffee maker and mini fridge. There is a unique half bath of the second level.

What makes this property unique

Wildlife watching is abundance! Wildlife that's been seen from the cabin include: deer, elk, turkeys, squirrels, skunks, foxes. A mother bear with cubs was seen by one guest..
The birds in this area are colorful with no short supply of hummingbirds during the summer months.
