About this property

Mama Bear's Den | Surrounded by Nature + Deck!

You’ll be just up the hill from the galleries, restaurants, and activities of Ruidoso when you vacation at Mama Bear’s Den, but when you look out your windows you’ll be surrounded by nature’s beauty. The home is truly the best of both worlds – civilization when you want it, privacy when you don’t! Don’t be surprised if deer wander past your deck. They are enchanting and elegant neighbors for you to enjoy.

Mama Bear’s Den can perfectly accommodate up to six guests in its two bedrooms. Your vacation home is air-conditioned and there’s a wood-burning stove in the living room to keep everyone warm and cozy.

Out front you’ll find parking for two vehicles. Getting inside Mama Bear’s Den is easy too. There’s a no-stairs way of entry.

When you walk through the front door, you’ll enter a cozy living room with comfortable couch and loveseat. Both are positioned to give a good view of the flat-screen TV with cable and DVD player. You also have a good view of the woods through your French doors that lead to the large deck out back. Mama Bear’s Den also has high-speed Internet, which is great for checking out websites for area attractions, playing electronic games, or sending photos home to friends.

You’ll enjoy sitting in the sun on your deck, breathing in the fresh mountain air, and listening to the sounds of nature all around you. It’s such a peaceful setting. There’s a gas grill out on this deck so you can cook up any fish you catch at Grindstone Lake or steaks you pick up at the nearby market.

When you’re not heading down the hill for a meal in town, gather your group around the dining table with four chairs. If additional seating is needed you can set up to place at the nearby breakfast bar.

You Mama Bear’s Den kitchen has all the appliances, cookware, and serving ware you need to prepare your favorite recipes. There’s plenty of counter space, which makes meal prep so much more convenient.

When the sun falls behind the mountains, your thoughts will begin turning toward a good night’s sleep. A day of golfing, fishing, skiing, or shopping the galleries will do that to you. Fortunately up the stairs you have a cozy retreat where you can rest and restore your stamina for another day. The first bedroom within Mama Bear’s Den has a queen-sized bed and its own private bathroom with shower/tub combination and vanity with large mirror.

The second bedroom is also upstairs and is outfitted with two king-sized beds to accommodate up to four people if needed. The large window in this room gives a good view of the beauty around your vacation home.

This bedroom also has its own bathroom with shower/tub combination. The second bathroom also houses the Mama Bear’s Den washer and dryer. It’s so easy to keep your family in clean clothes when there are laundry facilities right in your home.

Make today the day you reserve your preferred vacation dates at Mama Bear’s Den. You’ll have a wonderful time playing in the mountains and making memories you’ll remember for a lifetime. Please remember that Ruidoso is a mountain town with snow and icy conditions during the winter. This can affect driving and parking conditions regardless of the property, driveway, or roads. 4x4 or chains may be required during winter months to access your home.

Not Bad At All

This was a last little trip before school starts and it was a great little cabin to stay in. Plenty of room and was nice and clean. I wasn’t aware of how steep and shallow the stairs were to the bedrooms and my husband had a hard time going up and down. The king bed was comfy but the sheets were a little stiff, I’d rather have softer ones or use some Downy when washing. The kitchen and living area was good, although we didn’t cook. There were plenty of towels which was nice. Not bad overall but probably won’t stay because of my husbands disability and steep stairs.

Unable to use one of the showers

Main reason we picked this cabin was because it had 2 restrooms. With mostly women and girls this was tough because we were unable to use of them due to a leak maintenance came to check. Left a message for GM and have yet to get a call back. We pay so much money to get what we want to enjoy our stay then this happens? They were unable to move us to another property. So all of us had to use one shower, huge inconvenience! Location good, overall the cabin was ok. It was clean.

Making memories

My family and I had a great time. Cabin is just as described and has a beautiful mountain side view aswell as deer roaming by the property. Equiped with everything you need to have a good time. It snowed when we went which made for great memories.

Affordable with great view

The cabin is great for a get together with friends. Sat on the deck every morning and night soaking up the cool weather. WiFi signal wasn't strong enough to work remotely like I'd hoped. Refrigerator is not hooked up to make ice or water, so bring your own ice. Those stairs are STEEP to the second floor!!! Overall, very affordable and we had a great time! My daughter LOVED all the deer and elk we saw pass by in the neighborhood!

Home away from home.

Stepping inside the cabin felt like home but once you step outside you realize your in another world. The view was breath taking and the cabin was very cozy, and comfortable.

We have used Condotel at Ruidoso at least 5 times and this cabin was not suitable for seniors

It's overpriced. I had to crawl to get to my side of the bed and the steps of the stairs are narrow and steep.

What a great cabin! It was a cozy spot up on the ridge with an excellent view of the surroundings

Our kids enjoyed the stay at Mama Bears' due to the accommodations, mainly WiFi, as well as a Blu-ray DVD player. I think the best part of staying at Mama Bears' was that we where visited each morning by wild deer. This gave my children and I, a real great experience to enjoy and appreciate nature. My girlfriend was totally impressed with the cleanliness of the cabin. She also noted that is was a fully equipped kitchen and she greatly appreciated the washer and dryer readily available. We are looking forward to our next visit to Ruidoso and staying at this great little cabin. Loved it!! Thank you.

Sketch location, not as described

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very run-down area. Very busy Tow-truck driver lives across the street, making many runs through out the night. Near-by yards littered with car parts & old tires. Streets dark & in poor condition & unsafe, especially at night. Was described as walking distance to town, shops, etc. however, would not recommend doing this. We were very nervous about leaving our car there at night. The condo itself was very nice & clean. We just cannot recommend due to the area / location.

Great Escape from San Antonio

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our eight day stay very much. Even it was warm for Ruidoso during the day, the nights were great. Much better than the 100"s plus in Texas. When we checked in the TV was not working properly and we needed additional ice trays. One call to the Condotel office and someone arrived within a few minutes to make the adjustments. Great service throughout out stay. The cabin layout is very nice. A bath on both floors, a well lighted stairwell with a substantial hand rail. Great water pressure throughout. Very nice deck. A level parking space leading to the back door made it easy to load and unload. I would definitely recommend this cabin.

Not So Great

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of our rental house was in a good area. However, the stairs inside the home were so steep that you had to bear climb tour way upstairs and turn your feet sideways when coming back down. We slid down a few stairs before realizing to turn our feet sideways one step at a time. We love Condotel's vacation homes but this one is marked off our list to stay in again. The house was super clean and cozy aside from the stairs issue.
