About this property
Happy Days Inn: 'Cozy Comfort!' With hot tub. Pet friendly.
Happy Days Inn: Find Comfort & Joy
Happy days are ready to greet you in this cozy cabin, just minutes from the heart of downtown Ruidoso. Kick back on the deck with a year-round private hot tub, where you can soak up mountain views and catch glimpses of Sierra Blanca. Inside, unwind in the inviting living room, featuring Wi-Fi and a smart TV with streaming—perfect for cozy nights in. The rustic kitchen, with beautiful views of Ruidoso's nature, sets the scene for home-cooked meals.
Adventure is nearby! Just a 7-minute drive takes you to a dog park, a kids' playground, and a scenic 3-mile walking path. Wingfield Park, with a smaller paved trail, is only a 3-minute walk away. Even your furry family members will feel right at home—stop by the nearby dog store (just a 2-minute walk!) to pick up a special treat or keepsake. Happy Days Inn is an ideal retreat for relaxing and creating special memories in beautiful Ruidoso!
Please Note: No washer, dryer, or dishwasher.
3 blocks down is I'll Have Another and License to Chill for parties looking for larger group accommodations.
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!
