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. WiFi, CableTV/DVD player and some board games available for your convenience. This listing is a non-smoking facility. Well-trained dogs are welcome, as long as they vouch for their owners. NO CATS! Available all seasons.

Wonderful little home on beautiful property.

Its a wonderful little old home. Has the basic necessities for a short or extended stay. It’s well cared for, just older. It’s clean, just older. Yes, some cobwebs, but nothing a broom can’t handle if you are bothered by them. The property is beautiful and right on the river. We were there during some torrential rain and it didn’t flood. They had great tree swings for the kids, ate dinner on the back patio area each night. The owners and their daughter were amazing. Welcoming, inviting, and caring. We left our dog in the house while we went into town, the torrential rain hit. The owners daughter went and sat with our dog during the storm to make sure she was OK. They really did make it a lovely stay. Would love to see them again!

Cabin review

It was a great place to relax. The only thing missing was a working gas grill, which was an inconvenience as we had to change our meal plans. However, I would definitely consider staying again and recommend it to family and friends.

This was our second time in staying at this quaint cabin. The Rioduso river that runs along the property adds to the tranquil atmosphere of this cozy cabin nestled in the upper canyon community. We are looking forward to visiting again in the future.
