River Ridge Retreat: Your Secluded Mountainside Hideaway

Escape to River Ridge Retreat where nature's beauty and cozy comforts come together for the perfect getaway! Perched atop a hill with a stunning view of Midtown Ruidoso and the distant mountains, this charming 2-bedroom cabin offers the best of both worlds—seclusion and convenience. Just minutes from downtown, but tucked away on the ridge, you'll enjoy the soothing sounds of the Rio Ruidoso River below and the tranquil mountain air.

Begin each day basking in the warmth of the oversized sunroom, sipping your morning coffee while soaking in the breathtaking views. Snuggle up next to the gas fireplace as the mountain vistas greet you, or head outside to fire up the grill and dine al fresco while taking in the natural surroundings. When evening falls, unwind in the private hot tub on the lower deck—secluded from neighbors but still open to the gorgeous sights around you.

Ideal for a small family retreat or a romantic getaway, River Ridge Retreat has plenty of charm and character packed into its cozy 1,224 square feet. The two themed bedrooms and mountain-inspired décor throughout the home make it a unique and delightful space to relax and recharge. Plus, your furry friends are welcome too! With a fenced-in backyard and a few walking paths, your dogs will enjoy the adventure just as much as you.

River Ridge brings comfort, charm, and natural beauty together in one peaceful package. Let the sounds of the river and the mountain breezes carry your cares away—this is the retreat you've been waiting for!

PLEASE NOTE: Only a window AC unit in the living room.

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!

Carefully and thematically decorated; needs some TLC
Dogs loved the yard; they said best vacation ever! We all loved the elk, mule dear, and wild horses! The little Western lamp and kid boots were special. We have my husband’s pair. My husband said the road noise was annoying.

Gorgeous Cabin with Fantastic Views, Great Location!
I cannot speak highly enough of this cabin. We've stayed at several properties in Ruidoso, and this has been by far the cleanest, most spacious, and most well-stocked. The views of the forest were stunning, and the place was the perfect balance of secluded and close to town. We very much enjoyed the privacy of the hot tub and deck and were glad to see a variety of games available for us to play in the evening (we also left a chess set there for others to enjoy). We will visit Ruidoso again, and we will only stay at this property from now on. Again, I cannot speak highly enough of this place!

Cabin in the woods
Spectacular views Very nice cabin decor but dated It was unusually hot during our stay in July The ac window unit made a screaming noise like a smoke alarm. I opened the front and the filter looked like it had never been cleaned. We didn’t spend that much time inside so we still enjoyed it The beds very comfortable. The neighborhood was awesome. Big elk walking around Hot tub controls were also an issue Reported theses issues hope they were addressed Even with the issues the view and the atmosphere made it all worth it

The house is comfortable and the deck with the hot tub is cool in the warmer parts of the day. We did not use the hot tub or cook meals so don't have comments about the kitchen utensils. We enjoyed the stay and will try to book it again if we return to Ruidoso.

Nice stay.
Nice smaller cabin. Good forest view off the back. Only neighbor is to one side. Bed was comfortable so that is a bonus. Hot tub was pre-warmed and clean. The yard is very steep downhill. So much so it's not a place for small children to play in.

Beautiful Cabin & View
We loved River Ridge Retreat! Fabulous Cabin with a beautiful view from the top of the ridge, fully fenced in yard, and perfect hot tub to end the day! Very clean, perfect size for a family of 4 (and dogs too), additional sunroom is a delight. Close to everything in Ruidoso with great TV/internet at Cabin, yet feel like you're in the woods. Had a great spring break with both sun and snow. (High winds one night snapped front board off wooden gate and management company responsive to call as well.) Would definitely stay again. Thank You!
