You will not be disappointed with this cabins lovely views from the front porch & the cozy feel of the home. The pictures do not do justice to how lovely this home is. It had all we needed and a very comfy master bed. Deer all around everyday. I thoroughly enjoyed the woodpeckers, hummingbirds while sipping coffee. Weather was perfect. We would stay here again. BTW, it's best to have a 4wheel drive because the roads in are steep.
This was our first visit to Ruidoso. The weather was a roller coaster but we were very pleased and comfortable with the property. The kitchen was well prepared and the beds were comfortable. The hot tub was great too.
Our family enjoyed this gorgeous and intimate setting in the woods. It was great escape from the city. It was a much needed and enjoyable vacation. Thank you for allowing our family to visit and privately honor the memory of our Son, Brother and Uncle!!
House was just as listed. Everything worked great. The hot tub was the best
With the cold temperatures during our stay. Clean, up to date and awesome views. Will stay again soon.
Our Fall vacation in Ruidoso was just perfect! The Cabin on the Mountain was even better than we expected. The location literally was on top of a mountain so the views were incredible. We enjoyed the deer coming to visit the back deck each morning and evening. We hiked the Grindstone Lake trail and the Ruidoso River Trail. We saw so many elk in and around town as well as mule deer and wild turkeys. The cabin was immaculate, comfortable furnishings and nicely decorated and had a well stocked kitchen. We loved the large hot tub and star gazing from the back deck. Plenty of great shopping and restaurants in town as well. The Land of Enchantment never disappoints!

Great cabin. Well maintained. Beautiful views. Hot tub was ready and clean. Turkeys and deer passlng through the yard daily. Easy access to great 7 mile hikes. Really enjoyed our stay. No joke about steep road to get up the hill. 5 minutes from "downtown".
Lovely cabin very clean and cozy! It had all the comforts of home. The views were absolutely amazing and all the wildlife made it a special place to be…good for the soul.
Very cozy mountain cabin. Well-built and well-appointed. Nice views and wildlife all around. Be prepared to climb if you decide to take walks in the neighborhood since, as the name indicates, it is "on the mountain."
We had an issue when we first arrived to the cabin in that it had clearly had not been cleaned from the last guest. However, the management company was quick to respond and got a cleaning crew out and did a good job getting it taken care of. Yes, I would stay at this property again and suggest it to others..
This was one of the best homes I have rented. The most beautiful sunrises and sunsets, with an amazing view. The home was clean and the hot tub was ready to use. We had a great family vacation!
We had a wonderful 4th of July holiday at this beautiful cabin. The hot tub was great and we enjoyed the patio and the outdoors. Thanks so much for a lovely stay.
My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Cabin on the Mountain. The facility was very clean and the views were spectacular. Will plan to come back at some point in the future because we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
