About this property

~ Close to Ski Apache/Tubing ~ Game Room ~ 100 Mb/s WiFi ~ 65" Samsung TV

Welcome to the Pine Needles Retreat in beautiful Ruidoso, NM !! The cabin is located in the desired northern part of town, quiet and relaxing with awesome views, and plenty of wildlife, yet right off the main drive. It's just a minute to the Wild West Ski Shop, and within a mile of Ski Run Road, and the Winter Park Tubing area. Less than 5 minute drive to restaurants, a bowling alley, and mid-town shopping. The cabin is very easily accessible, has a flat driveway, only 2 steps up to the front door, main level.

With a Queen bed on the upper floor, a Queen and a Double on the lower floor, and a sleeper sofa on the main floor, guests have a few options to suit their needs. Not to mention a bathroom on each level. A gas furnace keeps the cabin toasty in the Winter, and guests have access to the wood burning fireplace in the family room! (we provide firewood to guests). For summer, there are portable AC units on the upper and main floor (no central air.)

We converted the garage and carport area, just steps from the house, into a game room with a homemade foosball table, dartboard, bean bag toss, and Texas washer game. The shaded carport has a large picnic table, hammock, extra seating, and a nice gas grill! The back patio right off the living room is a great spot for morning breakfast, dinners at sunset, or just relaxing and taking in the views and wildlife.

* Well Stocked Kitchen (complimentary coffee/hot cocoa)
* Washer/Dryer available for use
* Memory Foam covers on all the mattresses
* Bluray Players / Netflix / Amazon prime video on all smart tvs
* Tons of Board games / WiU

We try to keep the cabin clean to the best of our ability for every guest, and are constantly making upgrades to the decor, appliances, and furnishings inside and out!

Perfect home away from home!
This cute cabin was the absolute best place we could stay! Location wise, it was in a mountain neighborhood, but still a very out-of-the-way woodsy feel. I was happy to be away from the hustle and bustle of town, yet town was such a short trip away. Also a very quick trip to get to Ski Run Road and enjoy mountain roads from there. The home itself was warm and cozy, rooms and beds were cozy, plenty of space for us and our two kids. Everything we could possibly need was provided - kitchen pots and pans, utensils, towels - even surran wrap and tupperware for leftovers, which is rare for some rentals. There were so many games for entertainment that my kids enjoyed during down time. We stayed the week before Christmas, and the owners even had it decorated for Christmas, including a tree and stockings on the mantles. That was especially nice, thank you! We brought our own, but they also had sleds for snow fun. If we ever return to Ruidoso, we will make sure this is where we stay!

Great family cabin
We enjoyed a snowy visit staying warm by the fire place. Cabin has a very well-stocked kitchen, numerous outdoor entertainment options, soft linens with plenty of blankets. Our only trouble was not being able to drive up to the cabin because of the snow and ice on the roads since we don’t have a 4WD. It was a fun family vacation!

Beautiful, quiet property. The rooms were spacious. The driveway exit is tricky. We may come back in summer some time.

Host profile image
My parents and I were blessed to find and purchase this beautiful cabin in early 2018. We have made many improvements so far, both inside and out. We are constantly making upgrades to the cabin and strive to exceed the expectations of our guests! We moved from central New York to Las Cruces, NM in July of 2005. Once we discovered Ruidoso we have been visiting and vacationing here ever since, and now we finally have a property to call our own and share with others!!

Why they chose this property

The cool pines, wildlife, and mountain views are a perfect retreat from the Texas and NM heat.

What makes this property unique

Very quiet, yet right off the main road. The cabin has a unique and cozy feel. The views from every deck are amazing. The detached garage is perfect for a game room and picnic area. Lots of games to enjoy with family and friends!
