I just want to say this has been an amazing experience. Little Bear Cabin is so beautiful. It was the perfect size for my family. We grilled outside and after some dinner enjoyed having the hot tub ready. I would have never thought that I would be in a hot tub with 30 degrees outside and snowing. There were stores, restaurants and gas stations within minutes from the cabin. The views from all around are gorgeous. The creek very close by as well and other attractions. I never thought that we would be so close to deer but they were just there, right outside our cabin eating and enjoying the day just as we were. Our cabin was very clean and warm. It was just an overall fantastic experience. We all loved the cabin. We will definitely be staying here many times in the near future for sure.

We had such a great, relaxing time at the Little Bear Cabin! The thoughtful bear decor throughout the cabin made it fun for kids to try and count how many they could find! It was spacious enough for our family to relax and unwind and was very well kept. Adrian (host) was very responsive and provided great directions and amenity recommendations. We will most certainly consider returning to the Little Bear Cabin!!

I spent a full weekend with my family and we loved it! The cabin is fully equipped and it provided all we needed to have a pleasant stay. We cooked, played games and enjoyed the comfy common areas such as the living room, deck and hot tub. It provided enough space for 6 people and our four dogs. It is conveniently located near downtown; its surroundings are peaceful and quiet. Loved the privacy!

My family including our dog recently stayed in Adrian’s cabin. We go to Ruidoso often and always rent a cabin. I can honestly say this was the best experience we have had. The cabin was exactly as described and beyond our expectations. The bear themed decorations were so cute and the cabin was warm and inviting. The complimentary snacks and wine was a nice touch. Adrian is an awesome host. He was quick to respond before booking and through out our stay. I especially enjoyed the deck with the view of the tall pine trees. I would take my coffee out in the morning and my glass of wine out in the evening and enjoy listening to the wind whistling through the pines. I would stay here again and really enjoyed my week in little bear cabin.
