Relax with peaceful river views and wildlife sightings. A perfect retreat.

This picturesque cabin is surrounded by tranquil sights. Nestled between the Lincoln National Forest and the Ruidoso River, the property boasts frequent sightings of deer, turkey, elk, and the beloved Ruidoso wild horses. The hot tub, oversized deck, and screened porch are perfect vantage points to observe nature at its best. Access to town with the varied activities Ruidoso has to offer is a short ride or pleasant walk away. The location could not be better.
Walk out the back door into the Lincoln National Forest. Out front, soothing sounds from the river give a special kind of peace. The secluded deck feels like lounging in a tree house, and the Weber gas grill and upscale patio furniture accommodates the best in outdoor dining. The hot tub provides private relaxation with peaceful views of the brilliant stars at night. It is the perfect way to soothe weary muscles after a day of hiking.
This romantic retreat is designed to pamper you with quality linens, bathrobes, comfortable furnishings, and cozy throws. An abundance of windows allows plenty of natural light and cool mountain air. No short-cuts were taken here. The kitchen has everything you can imagine including a full array of dishes, drinkware and cookware, and a generously stocked pantry. Choose to dine either inside or outside on the screened porch or deck, each with amazing views and the sounds of nature. Morning coffee on the screened porch while listening to the hummingbirds nearby is an experience to savor.
Whether you are enjoying the cabin by yourself or with your loved ones, this retreat will be deeply refreshing. The spacious bedroom has one queen bed, and there is a foldaway cot to accommodate a child. The well-lit bathroom has hair styling accessories, heated floor, and a full-sized tub with shower. The entire cabin exudes the charm of aged pine and tastefully appointed updates. Parking is provided under the deck with stairs leading to the back door.
For your safety and convenience, the property has contactless check-in and keyless entry. Pets are welcome with a prepaid fee. There is no smoking allowed anywhere on the property.
Come and enjoy! You won’t want to leave.

Perfect Mountain Getaway

Perfect trip to get out of the rat race and relax. The cabin was charming and stocked with absolutely everything anyone would need. My favorite part was having coffee on the screened in back porch in the mornings and seeing and hearing all the birds sing. While there we saw so much wildlife - deer, elk (with baby) and a black bear with her 3 cubs. Also, communication with the owner was great!

Cabin in the Sky...

We actually ended up staying at the Cabin in the Sky on this trip. It's a larger cabin but just as cozy and comfortable as the smaller one in Upper Canyon. The host is amazing--she is very communicative and has ensured that the cabin has everything you might need. The location is great--the cabin is very close to Midtown, Grindstone Lake, the Cedar Creek trails, restaurants, and more. My favorite part was the large screened in porch and deck. When we weren't out and about, I spent most of my time sitting on the porch enjoying the amazing weather and the birds!
