Nestled in Ruidoso's Upper Canyon, this classic mountain cabin offers a peaceful escape with just the right mix of charm and comfort. Crafted with bark-on woodwork and a traditional stone fireplace, the home retains the character and warmth of its original design while offering thoughtful updates like a smart thermostat for added convenience.
The covered front deck welcomes you to enjoy the cool mountain breeze, while the back patio offers a more private space to unwind, framed by tall trees and the gentle slope of the lot. Wildlife is a frequent visitor, adding to the natural atmosphere that defines this neighborhood.
The cabin sits a short distance from the river, accessible by a nearby walking bridge, and is minutes from hiking trails, Midtown shopping, and local dining. During the winter season, the Upper Canyon transforms into a charming holiday scene with festive lights and carriage rides that bring a nostalgic feel to the area.
A small carport and extra parking space make guest visits easy, and an apricot tree near the front adds a simple, seasonal touch. With no fire or flood history, this well-cared-for property offers a great opportunity to enjoy the quiet rhythm of life in one of Ruidoso's most beloved areas.
Ideal for weekend getaways, a rental, or a place to slow down and enjoy the seasonsthis cabin reflects the ease and beauty of mountain living without pretense.
