About this cabin rental
Happy Bears: Beary Cozy Retreat
Happy as a Bear in the Pines! Happy Bears Cabin is your rustic retreat nestled among the trees, where mountain charm meets modern comfort. This cozy 1,300 sq. ft. log cabin is surrounded by the best of nature and only minutes from the heart of Ruidoso's shopping and attractions. Relax on the large deck that's accessible from both the master and guest bedrooms, and take in the fresh mountain air and stunning views!
Inside, you'll find the spacious living area perfect for unwinding. Gather around the impressive custom rock wood-burning fireplace on cool evenings (firewood not provided) or stream your favorite shows with high-speed internet. A unique touch awaits with a hidden trap door leading to the laundry room—kids and adults alike will enjoy this cabin's whimsical surprises!
Happy Bears Cabin is dog-friendly, and even offers RV parking with hookups for guests on the go. It's only a short 7-minute drive to Ruidoso's dog park, kids' playground, and a 3-mile paved walking path. And with central AC, you're sure to stay comfortable year-round.
Come enjoy the serene setting and welcoming warmth of Happy Bears Cabin—where you can relax, recharge, and make unforgettable memories in the heart of Ruidoso's beautiful piney woods!
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!
