Sweet 16: A Charming A-Frame Escape

Step into 'Sweet 16' and celebrate your perfect mountain getaway! This wonderfully unique A-frame cabin offers the ultimate combination of rustic charm and modern comfort. Nestled in the cool pines of Lincoln County and located just minutes from downtown Ruidoso, this cabin provides an ideal retreat for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the tranquility of nature.

Sweet 16 sits just off the fairway of the Alto golf course, providing breathtaking views of the lush green and exciting visits from local wildlife, including elk, deer, and even wild horses. You'll feel immersed in nature while still enjoying all the comforts of home.

Inside, you'll find a cozy living room where you can curl up by the stunning wood-burning fireplace with a good book or catch up on your favorite shows. The cabin's casual, welcoming atmosphere is enhanced by the special coffee station—perfect for brewing a morning cup while watching the sunrise.

Step outside onto the well-appointed deck, complete with comfortable porch chairs and a propane BBQ grill, making it the perfect spot to gather with family and friends for an afternoon meal. The evening sky is a spectacular sight from here, and you'll love unwinding as you take in the peaceful surroundings and watch the wildlife wander by.

As of May 2023, Sweet 16 is equipped with modern mini-splits for both air conditioning and heat, ensuring comfort year-round. Whether you're visiting during the summer or cozying up during the winter, this cabin has everything you need to feel right at home.

Come experience the beauty, charm, and unique flair of Sweet 16, where every day feels like a special occasion. From the stunning views to the welcoming ambiance, this is a retreat you won't regret booking!

Ruidoso, Alto, and surrounding areas: Submerse yourself within the towering pines of Lincoln County and watch local wildlife such as elk, deer, wild horses, turkey, birds, and more in their natural habitats. Plan a day basking in the stillness of our national forest while hiking, biking, or fishing, golfing at one of our multiple golf courses or spend a fun night out on the town at one of the area's local attractions! Be sure to swim or fish at the beautiful Grindstone or Alto Lake, delight your senses at Winter Park with roller coaster and tubing, and explore the ski slopes and hiking trails throughout Ski Apache. Win big at one of our three local casinos and enjoy the excitement of live quarter horse racing at Ruidoso Downs Racetrack. Be happy you took a respite from the concrete jungle. Come relax and refresh with us!

Good stay
Shower heads a little low for the average man. Had an issue getting into the cabin. Door code didn't work and backup key missing in container. However, response to the issue was handled quickly. Also, had an issue with the internet, but as with the entry issue, resolved quickly. I would book this cabin again.
