About this property

Deer Lover's Paradise w/Hot Tub. Private retreat but only 5 mins to downtown.

Enjoy our peaceful retreat in the woods. Sit on the wrap around deck and feed the dozens of deer. Or just enjoy our stunning views. Relax in the hot tub after a day on the slopes. We have a little of everything....privacy but still just a mile from the ski area road and just 5 minutes to the heart of downtown. 15 minutes to Ruidoso Downs.

Host profile image
My parents built this cabin when I was a child. We were stationed in Alamogordo and would spend every weekend in Ruidoso. This has been our family cabin for the past 40 years. My family and I continue to love our cabin and Ruidoso. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

This property has it all! Located in the lovely Sun Valley neighborhood...you couldn't get much better than this. We have a beautifully wooded lot with incredible views. Quiet and yet everything is just 5 to 10 minutes away.

What makes this property unique

Brand new hot tub that seats 7! Just sit in the tub and watch the deer right in front of you.
