Relax at our River Front Cabin in Historic Upper Canyon
This three bedroom, two bath rustic cabin property lies on the bank of the Ruidoso River with a mountain ridge on the other side. Private location at end of cul-de-sac. Enjoy this fully furnished, well-equipped home as you take in the mountain breezes rustling the tall pines. This cabin boasts a large master bedroom with Queen sized bed and adjoining bath with shower. Two Jack-and-Jill bedrooms, one with twin over full-size bunk beds, the other a twin bed only, share a bath. Relax in our spacious living area (queen sofa bed, if needed) which opens to dining and kitchen areas. Our flagstone patio is a highlight for our guests as they listen to the flow of the river. Take your chances on catching a trout or two, if you like! (Fishing license required 12 and older, not included). A better chance to see wildlife as they stroll through the property is almost guaranteed! If you insist on cooking or doing laundry (sometimes life happens!), we have you covered with a full kitchen and washer/dryer.

It was awesome and relaxing by the River, our Maddie girl (poodle) loved it! Great place to stay with family plenty of room, we will definitely be back. Thank you we appreciate your hospitality
I really enjoyed the cabin. It was quiet and I really enjoyed the sound of the river while sitting outside. Had a group of 8 Deer that visited every day and 1 small elk
Awesome stay! Wild horses bathing! Lots of baby horses
It’s a nice place! I enjoyed all the windows in the living room. East, south and West windows. Enjoyed looking at the River to the east of the living room. Kitchen table and kitchen window have a nice view as well.
We visit Ruidoso every fall and River Run is where we stay! It’s a welcoming, charming, no-frills woodsy cabin located steps away from the river . The elk and deer visit daily.
It’s quiet, it’s comfortable, it’s equipped with everything we need. The hosts are wonderful and their property manager & team are quick to take care of things, when they arise.
We went on winter holidays to Ruidiso to spend my birthday and my daughter's, her 15th birthday. Everything was great, I was equipped with things I didn't use because the cabin had everything we needed. Very quiet neighborhood, cleanliness was good, it was lovely to enjoy the landscape and the river. Very happy to interact with the deer, being able to feed them and touch them. Very satisfied and would return to this cabin. Thank you.
We loved being right on the river. It was very peaceful and relaxing. Check in was easy and the host was very responsive when needed.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
The cabin is very dated & plain. It had an old smell to it. Rustic is just a fancy way of saying "needs to be updated". It has a lot of character & could be very charming with just a few cosmetic tweaks. It was clean though. It was very quiet. So much so you could hear the now calm creek that runs along beside it. The wildlife was fun to watch.
