Cruthirds: Casual Comfort and Mountain Charm

Welcome to Cruthirds Cabin, a cozy retreat named in honor of family ancestors, offering the perfect mix of mountain charm and casual comfort. This inviting cabin is designed for a laid-back escape with a spacious outdoor area, a covered hot tub, and all the warmth of a traditional Ruidoso cabin. Step inside to a welcoming living space featuring an open kitchen, dining area, and a wood-burning fireplace (firewood is NOT provided), with large windows framing the natural beauty outside.

Nestled in a quiet, secluded neighborhood, Cruthirds is a stone's throw from downtown shopping, dining, and entertainment, yet remains a peaceful hideaway for recharging and savoring the crisp mountain air. With visits from local wildlife like deer, elk, and even the occasional wild turkey, every stay promises a touch of nature. The fully equipped kitchen invites you to prepare your favorite meals, or simply bring home a taste of Ruidoso from nearby restaurants.

Wake up refreshed in cozy beds, and start your mornings with a warm drink by the fireplace on crisp, cool days. For summer stays, central air conditioning ensures extra comfort, though the cool mountain breezes and open windows are often all you'll need. With dog-friendly accommodations, Cruthirds is a wonderful spot to share mountain moments with loved ones—two- and four-legged alike!

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!

Nice property for our weekend getaway. Master room had plenty of room for our babies pack n play. My husband wanted to stay at a house that didn’t have very close neighbors since we brought our dogs with us and this property fit the bill. It was quiet and peaceful, with many deer walking around. The hot tub was nice to use after a day of walking and shopping. There was a nice lake close to the cabin.

This is a wonderful property. Nice and quaint, isolated but convenient. 5 minutes from the downtown strip, but when there feels like you’re 30 minutes out. Also perfect location for fishing trips. 7 minute walk to grindstone.. just could bot say enough about this place. Wildlife everywhere, safe and sound. Left my fishing rods on the deck and were left there all trip. This place is amazing.

Our group included mom, dad, and a toddler! The cabin was located VERY close to the lake and good hiking. Short drive down to midtown. We only saw 1 deer around the cabin because the ground was so sloped. It had a big fireplace. The hot tub was okay. It had both a drip coffee pot and a kuerig. The walls creaked a lot at night, and the stairs were loud. You can hear people upstairs easily from downstairs. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and had only petty complaints! Also the owners responded within minutes every time I messaged them. My husband hated the beds, but I didn’t have a problem with them.

Nothing fancy, but adequate for our use. The Frisbee golf course is something to see. Very challenging.

Our family enjoyed our stay. This is an older cabin in an older neighborhood, but we got that feeling from other reviews. Thought the listing was accurate, and didn’t share many of the complaints others had. The door keypad was annoying and didn’t use the hot tub, but enjoyed the space and the the quiet.

House was overall great. A/C had a little trouble keeping up but it was in the mid 90’s outside. Convenient to downtown and to other roads. Super quite area to sit out in the hot tub and enjoy the evenings.

The location and parking and just about everything this place has was perfect in my opinion. Only having one shower was a bit of a challenge which I didn’t notice when looking at the listing. The oven also didn’t work which caused me to leave the frozen pizzas behind. But everything else including the hot tub, deck, privacy and location were perfect for us. Would highly recommend for smaller groups.

We have traveled to Ruidoso over 12 times and twice with our two children. This cabin in BY FAR the nicest small cabin we have stayed in. Perfect for a fam of 4-5. Our kids slept upstairs and we slept in master downstairs. The cabin was very clean! The location was top notch - very secluded compared to Upper Cabin. Every cooking amenity you could need, plenty of towels, blankets, trash bags, paper towels/toilet paper, etc… There is a baby gate, FYI. Wish we would have seen it sooner.
