The town of Capitan holds dear the memory of the original Smokey Bear. The cub was rescued after a devastating fire in 1950 in the Lincoln National Forest, leaving him orphaned. Fire rangers made him an American mascot for preventing forest fires. Smokey was buried here after a successful 25-year career as a spokesman.

"We had an amazing time with family! The house was well equipped and large enough for our group. The game room was a huge hit and so was the firepit/outdoor area."

"We had a great time at Bear Hill Cabin. The house was festively decorated with over 162 bears (our kids had a blast trying to count them all) and was very cozy. This is a great location if you plan on visiting White Sands. We went there 3 times for sand sledding. The town of Ruidoso is convenient from this cabin, too with nearby restaurants and shopping. The game room was perfect for the kids and adults alike. "
