Happy Bears Cabin: Be as happy as the bears at Happy Bears Cabin! Pet friendly.

Be as happy as the bears at Happy Bears Cabin! This very cozy log cabin is in a wooded area with abundant wildlife and is close to town and shopping. Spend your day soaking in the cool pines on the deck, or warm up to the fireplace. Don't forget to find the trap door to the laundry room during your stay. Happy Bears also features a high-speed internet connection and a large custom rock wood burning fireplace. RV parking and hook-up up available on the property. The home is approximately 1300 sq. ft. (WOOD BURNING FIREPLACE) Firewood is not provided. Unwind at this Stunning Rustic Cabin! Enjoy the mountain views from the spacious Deck that can be located from both the master bedroom and guest bedroom. This property is located in the heart of Ruidoso. Close to all of our local attractions while still being in a private area. This Rustic Paradise is only a 7-minute drive from our dog park, kids playground, and 3-mile paved walking path. Feel like buying your Fur Baby a keepsake or delicious treat, no worries! There is a dog store only 6 minutes away from the property! The property DOES have central AC. Dog friendly (with an additional fee)

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!

Please note: This home is dog friendly and we do require a $50.00 (plus tax) pet fee per pet. Please contact us if you are bringing your fur baby so that it can be coordinated correctly. Pets are required to be kenneled when left alone in all our pet friendly cabins.

Clean and please fix
Loved this cabin. Very clean and great location love that it was dog friendly. Seeing wild life was a plus. I will say there is some room for improvement. The front door the screen door slams very hard and loudly (shock is worn out) the front door itself doesnt close all the way there is a gap for the cold draft. Front door didnt make for a safe feeling while staying here. Another unsafe feeling was the fact you could see right through the doors in the kitchen and one of the blinds in the living room closest to the TV didn't close. When staying out of town state or in general feeling safe is my family and I biggest need and this wasnt that. But over all the cabin was what we were looking for.

Great Cabin and Great Location but for 2 Things
Great cabin and great location. Bedrooms were a good size, and sheets were soft. Heater was great, hot water was good, and we loved the real fireplace. We found a big trash can of wood for $35 in town. Don't go to local hardware for it. We couldn't find the W/D because it was in a room marked "private" and we didn't go in only to find out we had to go in to find the trap door to the W/D. I have 2 small complaints. The 2-seater sofa was very uncomfortable. It would be great if they got rid of the extra chairs and put in an L shaped couch. That way you could flop out after a day of hiking. The other complaint is that the brown lab next door barked incessantly. That kind of ruined the peacefulness of sitting outside with our coffee although we could also hear him barking non-stop inside the house. It for that reason only that we won't rent here again. A Keurig coffee maker would have been nice and saran wrap/foil/zip locks would have been nice as well. Other than the couch and the barking dog, it was a great place!

A Perfect Escape in the Heart of Ruidoso
From the moment we stepped into Ruidoso Cabin, we knew we had found a true gem. Nestled amidst the serene beauty of the Ruidoso Mountains, this charming cabin offered a tranquil retreat that was both rustic and inviting. The cabin's location was ideal, just a short drive from the bustling town center yet secluded enough to provide a sense of peace and privacy. Surrounded by towering pines and the calming sounds of nature, we felt instantly at ease, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Inside, the cabin was impeccably clean and well-maintained, with a cozy ambiance that exuded warmth and comfort. The décor was tasteful and rustic, perfectly complementing the cabin's natural surroundings. We particularly loved the large windows that allowed us to soak in the stunning mountain views while enjoying the warmth of the fireplace. Our stay at Ruidoso Cabin was nothing short of exceptional. The cabin's tranquil setting, its immaculate condition, and its charming atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop for our much-needed escape. We highly recommend this cabin to anyone seeking a peaceful and rejuvenating retreat in the heart of Ruidoso.

Cute little cabin!
We loved how classic it was with the wooden cabin feel. The neighbors dog was a little loud with the barking, and we had a cat come and beg for a couple of nights. He eventually wandered off by the last day. Other than that, very clean and comfortable. There aren't full doors on the bedrooms (more saloon-style) which wasn't a problem for us because we were alone. But FYI for those coming with other people. Very easy check-in and out! It was a wonderful getaway!

Very Clean
The cabin was very clean and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. One minor complaint was the covered parking is practically inacessible except for the smallest of vehicles. Another item worth noting is the laundry is accessible through a trap door in the floor. One problem is that the trap door is in a room marked "Private". Guests are asked to place dirty towels in the laundry room, but since the room was marked "Private", we had a lot of trouble locating the trap door down to the laundry room. The cabin itself was easy to access and was very enjoyable.

Disappointed
Exterior in poor condition. Rock steps need repair as they are a tripping hazard. Grass was knee high. Trash in yard including an old rug and beer carton. Interior floors are uneven. Fan in master bedroom was too noisy to sleep. So fan off and no a/c. Interior was very clean. Description was close to town. Not true. All in all, it seemed to be neglected by owner. We left 2 days early.

Great cozy, pet-friendly cabin
Stayed here for a couple of nights and we enjoyed it. The cabin was great and easy to find. We liked that it felt quiet and secluded but it was also not far from a grocery store and Sudderth street shopping. The kitchen was well-equipped to cook all our meals and the beds were comfortable. Loved the balcony because it provides an outdoor spot but keeps you or your pet away from the wildlife. The bathrooms were super warm which was great in the cold weather. Take extra toiletries and dish soap if you plan on staying for more than a couple of days as you might run out, but there’s plenty of stores nearby if needed. This cabin was pet-friendly. We had our pets with us and they provided some covers for the furniture (if you’re worried about taking your own for this purpose). I had taken some blankets for that reason but I could have just left them home and used theirs. Management was also very responsive via text message if I had any questions. Overall a good experience.
