Perched in the pines -wrap around porch w/outdoor dining, fire pit, & wildlife

The remodeled Elk & Hare Mountain Cabin brings the serenity and wildlife of the National Forest to your front porch but is only 5 min from the galleries and restaurants downtown. This 2BR/ 1 Ba / 1 sleeping loft cabin sits on 1+ acres in the desirable Cedar Creek area set into the National Forest and can accommodate 5-6 adults. The cabin offers central AC and heating, fireplace, a full kitchen, 3 TVs, dishwasher, washer/dryer, and a wrap-around deck perfect for dining and wildlife watching.
The space
This stylishly updated cabin includes two large bedrooms, one bathroom, and a sleeping loft. The full kitchen is stocked with everything you need to prepare delicious meals that can be enjoyed inside or outside where the ponderosa pines sway in the breeze and give you endless views of the vast forest. You will not believe the amount of deer, elk, and wild horses that walk through the property as they move in and out of the Lincoln National Forest. This cabin has a private driveway and a secluded spot dug into the side of the mountain that will make you feel free to relax as you listen to the woodpeckers softly drumming in the day and crickets chirping at night. If you stay very quiet, there is even a small fox that can be see exploring the property from time to time. The inside was remodeled in May 2022 and includes fresh bedding, new paint and flooring, comfy couch, 3 Roku TVs, and wifi. Bedroom 1 has a king bed, bedroom 2 has a queen bed and a pack-n-play crib, and the loft has two twin beds. The cabin has central air conditioning, central heat, and a wood pellet fire place with thermostat if you prefer for it to heat the cabin. Outside is a gas grill and gas firepit. There are miles of hike and bike trails in the national forest within walking distance or a very short drive. Albertsons grocery is only 2.5 miles away.
Guest access
The 1+ acres extend quite a way behind the cabin and make for a fantastic short hike for the adventurous (very steep!). The top of the hill has a clearing that provides the perfect spot for a private sunset view.
Other things to note
6 min drive to Midtown restaurants. 3 Min drive to Albertson Grocery Store. 2 min drive to miles and miles of hiking/biking trails through national forest.
9 minutes to Winter park snow tubing and the mountain coaster
9 min to Alto lake /Grindstone Lake
35 min to Ski Apache ski resort

Felt like home

Great cabin, just as listed, very clean. Wonderful place to stay, felt secluded which was what we were looking for but still very close to town. The place has pretty much everything you need and the host was very attentive

Holiday Retreat

We had an awesome time at the cabin! Much needed time for relaxing and reconnecting with the college kids. We had everything we needed! Super close to town but still away and in the mountains.

Amazing!!

Cabin is amazing and Alison was great about communicating and letting us know about all the deer and elk that come by. She was nice enough to even let us check in earlier before our check in time grateful for that as well. Definitely was a good view and beautiful area.

Perfect and affordable

Cabin is very nice with everything you need. Weather was perfect! Location is just outside of town with other cabins around but spread out. Saw elk everywhere and deer every day. Great hiking trails near by. It was exactly what we were hoping for! We already want to go back.

Great Cabin in a great location

The cabin is really nice with an awesome deck. Deer wander right by. The location puts you right in the Lincoln National Forest. Trees obscure view of neighboring cabins and creates a very peaceful experience. That said, access to Ruidoso's down town shops and restaurants is just minutes away. The owners are responsive and helpful with offers of help and local recommendations.

Just great!

We've stayed in the area a number of times over the past several years. This cottage was as described, clean, comfortable, and pleasant. We spent a good bit of time on the large deck, looking out into the trees and across to the mountain peak. Alison was very responsive and even offered recreational and restaurant input! The only thing that would have made it more perfect would have been a longer range view; but what we had was very enjoyable.

Perfect cabin for a family

We stayed at this cabin for a couple of days and absolutely loved it. From booking to check in was flawless. The cabin itself was located in a great area but not too far to get into town. The patio was the perfect setting for morning coffee and relaxation. The loft in the cabin was so great for my kids and toys for them to play with during our downtime. All tvs had access to different streaming services…plus you didn’t have to try and login with your own accounts and try to remember passwords lol! The hostess was so wonderful and gave recommendations from restaurants to entertainment. The cabin itself was so great, clean and cute. We will definitely be staying again. Overall we had a fantastic experience and stay!
