Great location with a great view
We wish we could have had more days there and look forward to going back. While I’ve had many trips to Ruidoso, this was one of the best. The cabin was very clean and it is very modern, but still has a ‘Cabin’ feel. We are looking forward to our next trip there.

Fall Vacation
Our Fall vacation in Ruidoso was just perfect! The Cabin on the Mountain was even better than we expected. The location literally was on top of a mountain so the views were incredible. We enjoyed the deer coming to visit the back deck each morning and evening. We hiked the Grindstone Lake trail and the Ruidoso River Trail. We saw so many elk in and around town as well as mule deer and wild turkeys. The cabin was immaculate, comfortable furnishings and nicely decorated and had a well stocked kitchen. We loved the large hot tub and star gazing from the back deck. Plenty of great shopping and restaurants in town as well. The Land of Enchantment never disappoints!

Great location and wonderful view
My wife and I had a wonderful weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the cabin. Ths view of Sierra Blanca was spectacular and there was lots of wildlife around the cabin every day. The only negative is ia neighbors dog barked most of the night both nights so we did not get good rest, but the blame at the hose

Perfect in every way!
We loved the sweet spot! It was the perfect place for our family getaway! It’s in a great location that feels very remote and is still very close to midtown and restaurants. The house is really nice with great updates and super clean! It has a great open concept which was nice with the kids. It has all the amenities you would need as far as kitchen ware, towels, and very comfy beds! The outside deck is super peaceful and very private. You see a lot of wildlife around! The hot tub being covered outside is a huge plus! We couldn’t have been more happy with the stay! The hosts were always very accommodating and helpful! We can’t wait to come back!

The cabin was just right, with everything you need to have a great time! It’s so peaceful with beautiful views and it’s lovely to sit outside in the morning and have breakfast. The only issue I would say is that it could do with a simple vacuum to help clean up pet hair, but it’s no big deal. Awesome place to stay!
