Amazing place to stay

Our first time out in Ruidoso and we were very pleased! Loved the jacuzzi, fireplace and the cabin itself! It is up the hill and far away from neighbors which was a plus! We will definitely be back soon!

Upper Canyon Beauty

A comfortable, cute and cozy cabin away from the crowded midtown area located in a quiet neighborhood. The kitchen was stocked with all the basic cooking essentials. A short five minute drive to Perk Canyon Trailhead. The hot tub was perfect after a long day of hiking.

Amazing!!

The property management was amazing just like the cabin. Accidentally booked for the wrong days and they instantly fixed it with no problem. The cabin was clean, quiet and everything that was described. Parking was a bit difficult, but was manageable. It's an amazing place.

Thank you for choosing Mountain Air Cabins. We are so glad you enjoyed your visit. We have tried fixing the driveway with more gravel, but with all the flooding and rains, we will have to pour new gravel again in the spring. We are trying to permanently correct the issue. We hope that you will come back soon, and enjoy all Ruidoso has to offer.

Easy process

The check in process was super easy and timely. The house was perfect for our weekend. Close to everything we went to but far enough to not be in middle of everyone. Could have used a large skillet but that’s just if you’re a cook like me.

This place was excellent. From the booking to checking out, everything was so easy. If you want a peaceful relaxing getaway this is your cabin. It’s a perfect place to sit in the hot tube and watch wildlife wander through. It was a decent distance from any neighbors so I was able to take my dog out for potty breaks without disturbing anyone. The cabin was in excellent condition and perfectly clean. I will keep this place in my mind for future stays

Nice cabin but on a steep hill. Parking is narrow and a little difficult. Porch gets lots of evening sunlight and less comfortable in summer. Location is good. Love the area.

It was easy to find. There is only room for one vehicle to park. Overall, it was great. There is a hot tub on the porch. The cottage is either fairly new or newly remodelled. It was very clean. I would definitely rent it again.
