Ponderosa

Combining comfort with rustic charm and surrounded by the trees that give it its name, Ponderosa is an outdoor-lover’s dream.

Conveniently located near mid-town Ruidoso, N.M., this sweet cabin is just minutes from restaurants, shopping, and interesting galleries, as well as opportunities for skiing at the nearby Ski Apache resort. There is also hiking and mountain biking in Lincoln National Forest. In short, there is everything here to satisfy every outdoor adventurer!

During the summer, Ruidoso Downs Racetrack features horse racing, while northeast of the village history buffs can explore the 19th Century adobe and stone buildings and museum of the Lincoln Historic Site. Near the Sierra Blanca Mountain range, this comfortable and stylish two-bedroom, one-bathroom cabin is ideal for small families, two couples traveling together, or those seeking a romantic retreat.

Everything about Ponderosa speaks of comfort, charm, and coziness. Wood floors and beamed ceilings with fans in every room add to the rustic charm. The spacious living room’s colorful accents and corner-stacked stone fireplace give this space a feeling of light and warmth. A fabric and leather-upholstered sleeper sofa with nail head trim is an inviting spot to curl up and enjoy your favorite show on the large, flat-screen cable TV with DVD player. An oval table with room to seat six offers a great spot for a family meal or a board game. The small but complete kitchenette has all the appliances, dishes, cookware, and utensils you will need to prepare everything from a full country breakfast to a simple afternoon snack.

To ensure you and your family are fresh and ready for the amazing sporting activities the area has to offer, Ponderosa has two roomy, comfortable bedrooms furnished with comfortably made queen-size beds, while the full bathroom is well stocked with clean, fluffy towels. Outside, Ponderosa’s charming porch includes a gas grill with incredible wooded views, making it an ideal setting for throwing a barbecue.

Full of rustic charm, Ponderosa is a cozy spot, perfect for refreshing yourself between hiking, biking, and hitting the slopes. Lock in your dates today (before someone else does)!
