About this property

Sandy Bear - Stunning cabin in the Heart of Ruidoso w priv tub

Its all about the great outdoors when you visit the mountain village of Ruidoso and no residence does a better job of surrounding you with natures beauty than Sandy Bear. Nestled a short drive into Upper Canyon, wildlife will be your favorite neighbors. Featuring a wraparound deck to relish the sights and sounds of wild New Mexico including a spectacular view of snow-covered Sierra Blanca, youre sure to come home relaxed and refreshed. Everything about Sandy Bear is first class and designed to provide creature comforts that will make your stay a true pleasure for your entire group.
When you first arrive at the spacious and level parking of Sandy Bear youll be amazed when you walk through the front door of the property. Youll be greeted by warm and inviting features such as the open living and dining room furniture, a gas fireplace and a large flat-screen TV. Youll also have free high-speed internet at your disposal so you can arrange tee times, find local fares or keep in touch with friends back home. When you just want to disconnect from it all, a wall of windows lets the beauty of nature into your living space.

Sandy Bear is tastefully decorated with a combination of western and mountain themes that give a subtle nod to your homes location in the mountains of the Southwest.
Spending all day playing in the mountains is sure to build up a hearty appetite and the Sandy Bear kitchen is up to the task of satisfying it. You have a full complement of modern appliances at your disposal. Granite countertops provide a plethora of prep space and a full suite of cookware and utensils help make cooking a breeze.

As enticing as the inside dining options are, on many days youll probably want to enjoy your meals out on the covered deck amid the sights and sounds of nature. In addition to the well-equipped kitchen, a gas grill on the deck is at your disposal. Everything about the deck space is perfect, including a brand new Hot TUb and the comfortable sitting area with a cozy seating and table.

Sandy Bear is a three-bedroom two full bath cabin. Bedroom number two features a queen-size bed in a large relaxing space with mountain views. The third additional bedroom is perfect for the kids and has two full beds. Each room is beautifully decorated, and your guests will be pleased to claim them as their own personal retreat.

The master suite includes a comfortable king-size bed, bed-side lamps and a large screen TV. Whether you want to unwind with a good book or your favorite show, youll find your favorite relaxing pastime in this luxurious room. But before you close your eyes for the night, we recommend taking time to slip out onto the deck and enjoy the soothing sounds of nature. In the morning, your en-suite bathroom will be the ideal place to grab a shower and get ready for your day. Before you know it, youll be looking for your first cup of coffee.

For added convenience, a washer and dryer are available to you at Sandy Bear. This may be the first time you are able to return home from vacation with a suitcase full of clean clothes. The large wooden fenced and very secluded back yard is an added bonus and a rare find in these necks of the woods. Make your next vacation a trip to Sandy Bear on the west side of Ruidoso. You wont find a more beautiful place to enjoy the mountains of New Mexico.

Family vacation

The property was awesome. The house was very clean. The only thing that I noticed that could have been a little bit better Was the pots and pans/things to cook with , there wasn’t a lot of pots and pans. And the ones that were there was not real clean. Also the microwave, even on full power just took a lot longer to warm things . I definitely would stay here again. The host was awesome very easily to get in contact with..

Great place and great experience

We enjoyed the stay, the place was amazing and well kept; Just like the photos. The manager was willing to work with us on payment when my bank declined the initial deposit and they even worked with us on a late checkout so we had a bit more time to enjoy it. I would definitely recommend this place. We will be coming back soon.

Amazing!

This home was absolutely perfect! We stayed over Thanksgiving and had plenty of room in the kitchen to do all of our cooking! The beds were all very comfortable, and the home was so clean! Our kiddos loved all the room to play, and our teenager lived in the hot tub! 10/10 recommend

VERY SOLID EXPERIENCE!

It is very apparent the moment you walk in that extensive work has been done to remodel and update the entire property. You truly feel like you are getting good value and see the pride of ownership. The patios and decks are where you want to spend your time and they are very private. The occasional visits by Elk are also a plus :) Give this one a look!
