Winterfell is a cozy two-bedroom cabin in the heart of the historic Upper Canyon neighborhood. This elegant mountain home combines lots of charm with well-appointed design features such as sleek appliances, modern furniture, and a comfortable dining set.
Outdoors, guests will find a covered front porch, a table with chairs, and plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy yourself. A great corner deck offers a hot tub situated right among the pine trees.
The front door leads right into the living room, with an open floor plan and a large, wall-mounted TV, pellet stove, and comfortable couches. The living area opens up into the spacious, well stocked kitchen and bar, allowing ample room for family dinners and holiday celebrations. A custom dining area is also right here, ready and waiting for meals, games, and laughter with your family and friends.
The hallway leads to the guest and primary bedrooms that each offer nice queen beds for a good night's sleep. The outdoor living opportunities are amazing, as the large front deck holds the gas grill and the perfect hot tub with plenty of room for four. Other amenities include high speed wireless internet and laundry facilities.
The location of Winterfell cabin is hard to beat, just minutes from the shopping and restaurants of Midtown Ruidoso but secluded enough and tucked away into Upper Canyon to provide privacy, peace, and quiet.
Please remember that Ruidoso is a mountain town with snow and icy conditions during the winter. This can affect driving and parking conditions regardless of the property, driveway, or roads. 4x4 or chains may be required during winter months to access your home.

Property is in a beautiful area. Hot tub was the star of the show. Had some issues with access code provided and got locked out of property one night. Took some time to reach someone who eventually went out and opened door. Overall, the actual rental was nice for weekend getaway.

Internet was out for 3 out of the 4 days we were there. Hot tub was nice. There were some stains on the couch and pillows. Some of the doors were very hard to open/close, which were loud in the middle of the night.

Our stay was overall great! So clean & easy to check in! The only thing is the master bed is not so comfortable & there are no porch lights. Other than that it was awesome!

We came to Ruidoso for a quick family trip. Winterfell was perfect for our family of four. We all had our own rooms and beds. After a long day of axe throwing and shopping, the hot tub was the perfect way to relax before starting a warm fire to end the evening!

Needs upgrades
Greetings, the property was great in location and cleanliness but needs a few upgrades like blankets, towels and cookware. We enjoyed the stay and hope to be back in near future.
Very nice and cozy place. The master bed is horrible and needs upgraded. It’s most definitely the quality of a motel 6. Would most definitely stay there again if it had a better mattress.
Maintenance was very fast in responding and fixing any issuesHot tub was nice Cleaning was subpar

Thank you for the feedback. We appreciate your comments regarding the maintenance and hot tub. We will address the cleaning concerns to ensure a better experience for future guests. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to improve your stay.
The only Complaints that we had were the Beds and the Couch were not very Comfortable.
Everytime you went to sit down the Couch would slide away from you and apart.

Thank you so much for this 5-star review. We really appreciate you being a customer and helping to share the word about us. We’re here for you anytime.
Upon arrival the furnish keyless door code didn’t work. Had to call the office to have it reset. There was broken bench on the patio and closet in the master bedroom. The two televisions were not working upon arrival and the house instructions were of no help. Had to call the after hours numbers for assistance again. Then again the next morning. Eventually the gentleman came to get them working.Carpet in the master bedroom needs shampooed

We apologize for the inconveniences during your stay, and we thank you for your patience while we addressed them. Additionally, we'll be sure to follow your recommendation and have the carpet shampooed as well.
Good size for our family of 4. Young kids slept in the second bedroom and shared the bed. All the mattresses are very firm/hard. The master bed is low to the ground which isn’t a huge problem but could be for older people. As others have mentioned the couch is “lumpy” it has three large cushions with metal bars for support between them. If you are sitting in the middle of the cushions the couch is fine otherwise you are sitting on the bars and it’s uncomfortable, although the kids didn’t mind. Kitchen has a decent amount of pots and pans. Make sure you bring everything else you will need to cook, foil, things to store leftovers. There is no stock of basic spices. Small selection of dvds, the dvd player will play dvd NOT bluray, so just be aware.
Overall the cabin is decent the location is great its in the upper canyon which for us was a nice quiet neighborhood. We walked the neighborhood in the evenings and saw wild deer, elk and horses.

In need of updating
The couches and mattress needs to replaced , very uncomfortable and worn out. Especially the couches. You sink in, we would have enjoyed watching some movies But couldn’t get comfortable at all. The master shower door was off at hinge when we arrived and it was very difficult to take a shower. The showerhead of the middle bathroom sprayed water all over it was unusable. Other than the hot tub we really did not enjoy this place at all
