Luxury Cabin! Upper Canyon Lookout -Sierra Blanca view close to town

Upper Canyon Lookout’s views of the Lincoln National Forest and Sierra Blanca Mountain are spectacular from inside as well as from the huge 455 sq. ft. deck. The mountain views and quiet surroundings provide a feeling of seclusion, but the Ruidoso shopping district and restaurants are just 2 miles down the mountain. In addition to the views, the deck is a favorite area for relaxing in the cool mountain breeze while watching the wildlife. deer, hummingbirds, and turkeys are frequent visitors with an occasional sighting of fox, elk, and bear. In the summer, our family loves to cook on the deck’s gas grill and enjoy all our meals outside on the deck’s dining and picnic tables.
During winter weather, your family and friends can enjoy the same mountain views from our large open living room, kitchen and dining area with vaulted wood ceiling and beautiful stone gas-log fireplace (instant on/off for your convenience and pleasure).

Beautiful Mountain Getaway
The home is inviting and comfortable with the best equipped kitchen ever! Loved the deck - it is large and has a lovely view of the mountains. Wild life visits the area off the deck. We saw turkeys and deer. The hosts are quick to respond and so very kind!

Beautiful mountaintop retreat
This is the second year we've stayed here, and our new favorite! So comfortable, with four nice bedrooms, each with it's own bathroom, beautiful and comfortable common areas and super well-stocked kitchen, and deck with plenty of seating and amazing view (though, with visible evidence of the recent fires). Owners warned us of the possibility of an occasional temporary water or power outage, since Ruidoso is still in recovery mode. This did happen, but Terry was super-responsive and kept in close contact until the problems were solved. We were able to manage just fine and had a wonderful time hanging out, visiting with local family and going on outings. They have jugs of water for flushing during outages and we brought a five gallon water container with a pump that we put by the laundry room sink which was great for brushing teeth, washing faces, etc. This house is just minutes from downtown shopping and restaurants, yet you feel like you're in the wilderness! The wild horses came to our cabin, along with deer and wild turkey and we saw a lot of elk around town. We were so thankful we had this beautiful place to stay wedding visiting and that we could support Ruidoso family and businesses. Will definitely come back!

Great house with Awesome hosts
We have been staying here since 2020 and this house is perfect. Great location 5 minutes from downtown but perfectly quiet setting with great views. Terry and Carlene are awesome hosts that do everything in their power to make everything feel like home. Even through the fires and floods that Ruidoso experienced this year they were on top of everything. The even notified us of a water outage that the city had before we noticed it. You will never have a regret if you tent this house!!

This cabin was perfect for our family to enjoy our much needed time together. Mornings out on the huge covered porch with an amazing view of the mountain. Deer greeting us each morning. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook breakfast. Living Area was also very cozy for all to gather and reminisce. Would highly recommend to stay here. I look forward to our next stay at this beautiful home.

How to expand on a previous review. Terry and Carlene are the ultimate property owners. They cancelled their own plans for the property and opened it back up for rent on Vrbo to accommodate our group for a golf tournament. They are quick to respond to any question or need you have. And, I assure anyone who rents the property will have few questions or needs. It is clean, well maintained, comfortable, open concept and the view is breathtaking. We have seen turkey, deer, wild horses and a young mountain lion enjoying the sun on a crisp morning. Consensus of my group is this is the best place we have stayed and we have been in multiple properties over a 13 year timeframe.

Our family getaway was nothing less than perfection. The cabin and amenities were just as described. Short distance to town for fun shopping and local cuisine. BBQ grill worked well and enjoying our beautiful views of sierra blanca was amazing. Mother Nature at her best with hummingbirds, stellar Jays, deer, turkey family with 9 kids was my favorite including Fox. Enjoyed the many elk and calves. while in town we saw a large bull elk just relaxing on our trip down whirlaway. Wow! Owners for very communicative. Thx for sharing this beautiful cabin!
