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.

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. ##### Alex M.

The cabin was perfect for our little family stay. The fireplace was great. We enjoyed having a hot tub and the location felt secluded and private in the woods but still convenient and close to town. Beautiful views every morning and we got to enjoy the snow in the mountains! The hill getting to the cabin is really steep on one side but the other side of the street was easier to navigate in the snow and ice. Just know there are two ways up and down and believe the listing when they tell you to use chains and/or 4wd. We have a 1 ton diesel truck with 4wd so we did not have any issues. My husband and kiddo really enjoyed the area and especially the Winter Park with snow tubing so we hope to be back soon and would stay at this cabin again if available. ##### Kelly J.

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.

Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mackenzie L. 5 Jun 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy When we first arrived, I was disappointed by how dusty many surfaces and parts of the floor seemed. The keurig and coffee maker looked like they also needed a good cleaning and the floor of the shower had dark streaks. I later discovered the toilet was not thoroughly cleaned when looking at it from the side while the lid is up. Lastly, me and my husband wished there had been curtains or blinds for the front door and kitchen window. It felt creepy at night knowing someone could easily be looking in. I appreciated most of the back windows having shades, though.While these issues need to be dealt with on the behalf of future users, the house ended up being quite a treat. It felt more private, just as was promised, even though it was in a neighborhood. It was mostly quiet (aside from construction), and was just what we needed. The hot tub was awesome, once we kind of figured it out. The bed was comfortable! We could not figure out the fireplace, though it was not pressing since it was the summer. We called in about it our first night and the lady who answered said she would write it down. I cannot remember if she said to call back in the morning, but I thought she said we would be contacted that next day. I never heard anything back from them during our stay. But it seemed a minor problem. ##### Mackenzie L.

So we pretty much just paid for nothing. ##### Dustin C. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carol D. 9 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in Disliked: Location #### Not For Older Adults On the plus side: The cabin itself was as advertised. Clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the cowboy theme. Our dog was well-confined and enjoyed the fenced back yard.On the down side: Access to the cabin was complicated by the neighborhood and it's location. Much of the surrounding property was rundown or overgrown.Being older adults we found the uneven flagstone walks posed a fall-hazard. The lot next door was littered with trash The hot tub area was uninviting to say the least. There were many electronic devices throughout the cabin but almost no access to actual TV programs etc. If you can't do stairs well you are confined to the interior and the front walkway.This is a nice cabin in a poor location with come up-grades needed. ##### Carol D.

The code was never sent to me so I had to text the host for it. Then they texted the incorrect code. So we had to call and they gave the correct code. Once we got into the house it was lovely. ##### Marilyn F.
