Great cabin. Well maintained. Beautiful views. Hot tub was ready and clean. Turkeys and deer passlng through the yard daily. Easy access to great 7 mile hikes. Really enjoyed our stay. No joke about steep road to get up the hill. 5 minutes from "downtown".

Very cozy mountain cabin. Well-built and well-appointed. Nice views and wildlife all around. Be prepared to climb if you decide to take walks in the neighborhood since, as the name indicates, it is "on the mountain."
We had a wonderful 4th of July holiday at this beautiful cabin. The hot tub was great and we enjoyed the patio and the outdoors. Thanks so much for a lovely stay.
My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Cabin on the Mountain. The facility was very clean and the views were spectacular. Will plan to come back at some point in the future because we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
This was one of the best homes I have rented. The most beautiful sunrises and sunsets, with an amazing view. The home was clean and the hot tub was ready to use. We had a great family vacation!
The cabin overall was a great location and great views on top of a mountain. The cabin's amenities are a bit older but that's to be expected in ruidoso.

We hope you had a great stay! Come back to visit again soon!!
This was our first visit to Ruidoso. The weather was a roller coaster but we were very pleased and comfortable with the property. The kitchen was well prepared and the beds were comfortable. The hot tub was great too.
The cabin was ad advertised. Beautiful location just be prepared to have four wheel drive for this particular area.
