About this cabin rental
Nestled into the mountainside on just over one acre, Fawn Ridge is a perfect spot for a weekend or extended get-away. Our intimate 440 square foot cabin has the comforts of a home on a smaller scale. The separate bedroom with a queen bed and living room twin sofa-sleeper make it a cozy retreat for up to three guests. The sofa shares the living room with a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for cold winter nights. You can retreat to the bedroom to watch TV in bed.
Our miniature kitchen is fully loaded – a gas stove, microwave and fridge make it easy to shop and cook meals in. Step outside and throw some meat on the grill and enjoy the mountain view while eating on the wrap-around deck. Our mini dishwasher makes clean-up a snap!
Whether you want to ease into the day or wind down at the end of the night, the hot tub is a great place to relax and enjoy the mountains around you. You are likely to see wildlife while you take in the views – elk, deer and even wild horses have visited our cabin. The stars light up the sky and full-moon nights are spectacular.
Take a small hike behind the cabin and arrive at our private gazebo with a view of Capitan. Sit and enjoy morning coffee or have a picnic while taking in the amazing view.
When you are ready to get out and about, you are less than five miles from midtown Ruidoso. There are tons of local shops and restaurants you can visit as you stroll through town.
If you’d like a little more adventure, try your luck at Ruidoso Downs Racetrack and Casino. If you prefer an adrenaline rush, you can’t miss the 8,900 ft. zip line at Ski Apache! It is one of the longest in the world and has parallel cables so you and your guest can conquer it at the same time. Or rent an ATV in midtown and follow the GPS trail on a 4-hour tour that takes you up into the mountains and down into canyons with beautiful rock formations. Of course you can’t miss Ski Apache in the winter with a stunning 12,000 ft. elevation and 1,900 ft. vertical drop. From beginner to expert, there are trails for everyone on 750 skiable acres. If you prefer to experience the great outdoors at a slower mph, you can golf, fish, hike, mountain bike, geocache, or play disc golf.
Love to day trip? Visit the iris garden at Hondo Iris Farm during the summer months or pan for gold at Fox Cave. Just past Alamogordo is White Sands Monument – 275 square miles of gypsum sand dunes that look like sugar spilled in the middle of the desert. It’s an amazing site to see. On the way back, stop at PistachioLand where you can shop and take a picture next to a giant pistachio! You can visit Roswell and see all of the famed UFO exhibits in town and then head to Carlsbad. Although the caverns are a 2.5 hour trip from Ruidoso, they are a stunning natural wonder that shouldn’t be missed.
You can plan your trip around an event or festival – Ruidoso has them all year! Check out the show schedule at the Spencer Theatre for the Performing Arts. If you love Broadway shows or dance and musical performances, they have events every 11 days during the summer and winter show season.
We can’t wait to have you visit Ruidoso and stay at Fawn Ridge!

This was a great place to stay and get a break from life for a bit. The property is in a very quiet secluded neighborhood, great for observing the local wildlife. Everything about the cabin and property was just as expected from the listing.

My husband and i loved being here. It was perfect for the two of us. Loved the view and it was close to both lakes. Alto and Grindstone as well. Hot tub worked great, and the gazebo was a short hike however the view was worth it. It had everything we needed for our stay. We loved it and it was perfect!

We were excited to get up into the mountains! It was beautiful. We walked up to the overlook the first evening we got there which ended up being good because then next morning we woke up to 4” of snow. It’s a pretty small cabin but just what we wanted. We stayed warm and enjoyed the fire place and the hot tub. It snowed on us while we were out in the hot tub which was pretty fun but a little chilly walking back inside with snow covered towels!
It was quiet and private. We didn’t use the kitchen much but it seemed well stocked. Nothing too fancy but very comfortable. We could have use a snow shovel but other than that it was great.

All n' All just what we needed. 10 out of 10 would Definitely recommend.

My wife and I celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary, and on the night of our honeymoon we stayed in Ruidoso. So we wanted to return after all these years. We had a wonderful fantastic time in the privacy of this little cabin. We will return.

This property offered everything I was looking for. The cabin was in a central location, but tucked above the road for added privacy. This cute little house had everything we needed for our 3-day stay. The hot tub was a fabulous bonus! My favorite thing was the private little hiking trail that led up to a deck with a spectacular view of the mountains; the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee. I would highly recommend this property and I will plan to stay there again!

Cozy little cabin but could use a new loveseat fold out!

Fawn Ridge was the perfect weekend getaway for my husband and I.
We LOVED watching the deer from the hot tub and just taking in the breathtaking view from the pergola.
Breathing in mountain air and hearing the sounds of nature as we reconnected was the best feeling.
This little cabin was perfect for the two of us, and the wood burning stove was the cherry on top.
We will be back!

The whole experience was very good. From booking to checkout. Cozy cabin with a nice hot tub. I really enjoyed the privacy. Close enough to anything you would want to do, but secluded enough to enjoy the time with your spouse.
4.7
The cabin was all we wanted, we wanted to get away and just have sometime to ourselves. The owner was wonderful, answering any questions that we had and he responded back quickly. The Ruidoso area is a wonderful place to visit, i would rent this cabin again. It was so beautiful. Thanks for renting us your cabin, we're so happy we chose to rent from you.

The cabin was even better than expected! We were greeted by wild horses across the street and deer next door the afternoon we first pulled up. We bought some firewood and birdseed in town, and enjoyed a few fires (with s'mores) and Stellar's Jays, Acorn Woodpeckers, Chickadees, and more. We will be back! Highly recommend!

We enjoyed this very private cabin in the woods, wishing for a few more hiking trails, but nonetheless very peaceful and serene. The cabin was impeccable, even condiments in the refrigerator and a full-service kitchen.. we look forward to another visit next year.

It was my partner and I’s first trip together and the cabin was the perfect getaway. It’s a great size for just two people, it’s far enough from downtown to be quite but close enough for a short drive. The property had a great kitchen that was fully stoked with equipment. All around a great time! Thank you fawn ridge
