Hidden Treasure: Your Secret Goldmine

Find your hidden getaway retreat with Hidden Treasure. The original settlers wrangled into this area looking for gold in the Capitan Mountains and now is your opportunity to do the same. This cozy cabin, nestled in the cool pines features western décor, and room for the whole group. Relax and star gaze each evening on the spacious covered and uncovered deck while refreshing your soul in the covered hot tub. The cabin also features an open living, dining, and kitchen area, 3 Roku TVs with streaming, wood burning fireplace, a wet bar, central heat and air conditioning, and Wi-Fi internet. Bring your fur babies along as this cabin is DOG FRIENDLY with an additional fee.

The master bathroom was recently upgraded with walk-in tile shower for easy access. Two bedrooms have TVs. For those who cannot do stairs as easily, there is a gravel walk path on the side of the cabin that leads to the deck where the BBQ gas grill (propane provided) is located then a three-step entry. Guests say Hidden Treasure is a "great cabin, had more than expected, even a crock pot." Come find your treasures with a stay at Hidden Treasure! The cabin is approximately 1098 sq. ft.

Hidden Treasure is located around the corner from Bluebird View, Lone Pine, and Petite Retreat.

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.

Granddaughters visit from MO.

We had a wonderful time. The place was impeccably clean. The hot water was hot...not temped like several other places we have encountered. Very well equipped with tons of kitchen stuff. Tons of towels, even for the hot tub. Extra blankets for the chilly nights. Location in town is very centralized close to everything you need. Very close to Alamagordo, White Sands and Roswell. Loved every minute of our stay. Home away from home! everything.wamazing

Beautiful cabin

Everything about this cabin is great, you have everything you need in there, the location is good, it’s super close to the downtown and close to ski Apache (about 40 minutes). The neighborhood is pretty and calm, so it’s beautiful going at night to the jacuzzi. Would go again and would recommend it.

Hidden Gem

This literally is a hidden gem. The neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful you feel secluded, very clean and everything worked properly. The manager was very helpful and promptly answered when we had a hard time with the code entering. Beautiful scenery especially the deer in the morning from the hot tub on the deck. Stocked with all cookware you need and fun games that we enjoyed every night. Water pressure was perfect and the clean up process list was within reason. We already decided to come back to this specific place if available every year!

The Hidden Treasure cabin was perfect for a short get away to the mountains. It was comfortable and conveniently located between Ruidoso and Ruidoso Downs. We enjoyed hanging out on the balcony watching the wild horses in the evening.
