The Cabin on Bear Creek is located in Ruidoso’s historic Upper Canyon on the banks of Rio Ruidoso. Feel the stress melt away as you listen to the river’s gentle flow, feel the breeze pass through the soaring pines, and see deer walk through the yard. Abundant windows, a covered porch, and a hot tub let you choose how to absorb the Ruidoso experience. This renovated cabin balances a classic mountain feel with modern touches and conveniences to ensure a memorable vacation experience.
If you are looking for the classic Ruidoso “feel”, then The Cabin on Bear Creek is a perfect choice. The cabin is ideally located on the banks of Rio Ruidoso in scenic Upper Canyon for your "glamping" getaway. River tranquility. Towering, singing pines. Deer and seasonal elk. Hummingbirds. Nature truly is the best medicine, and the Cabin on Bear Creek lets you absorb it all – whether that is from the covered porch, the hot tub, or through its numerous windows.
On the interior, you will find that the cabin was renovated to include modern conveniences without sacrificing the coziness of a mountain cabin. The living room features a wall of river-facing windows to take in the views no matter the weather. A fireplace will keep you warm as you watch the 50” plasma television equipped with cable and Hulu services, play a game of foosball, or simply catch a nap.
The kitchen and dining area features rustic ceiling beams and more river-facing windows, offers a natural gas range, microwave, oversized French-door refrigerator, and dishwasher. Enjoy an abundance of granite countertops as you prepare your meals in the fully equipped kitchen, including a Kitchenaid mixer. Feel free to use the washer and dryer for those unplanned laundry needs. For those who like to grill, there is a propane grill and a Traeger pellet grill (must supply your own pellets) to demonstrate your expert skills. Once the food is ready, enjoy outdoor and indoor dining locations – the inside dining room, the covered porch, or the picnic table.
After a long day of golfing, skiing, hiking, or shopping, head to the backyard to being your recovery and share some stories. Turn on the string lights to create your ideal atmosphere. Connect your phone to the outdoor speakers (Bluetooth connection; be respectful of neighbors and Village quiet times). Sit back in an Adirondack chair by the river or relax in the hot tub.
When it is time for rest, the sequestered primary bedroom offers a king-sized bed, gas fireplace, and smart TV with Hulu service. The on-suite bathroom welcomes you with a heated tile floor, oversized shower, and plenty of vanity counter space. Linens, hairdryer, and basic toiletries are provided to lighten your suitcase load.
On the opposite side of the cabin, there are two additional bedrooms. There is a river-facing bedroom with a king-sized bed and more river-side views. The third bedroom provides four twin-sized beds – two side-by-side and two in a bunk configuration. Both bedrooms are equipped with a wall-mounted smart TV and Hulu service. These bedrooms share a bathroom offering heated floors, a tub/shower, and a large vanity. Linens and basic toiletries are provided.
This is a non-smoking property - inside and outside.
July 1, 2024: Portions of Upper Canyon and the larger Ruidoso area were heavily impacted by the South Fork fire. One consequence of the forest fire is an unimpeded rain shed into Rio Ruidoso. Although the cabin is outside the flood plain, flash flood warnings for Upper Canyon will likely be more prevalent and can impede vehicular access. Please monitor weather and public service announcements during your stay.
