Whether you go for mountain biking the trails of Ruidoso's surrounding hills, summertime fishing and hiking or to Ski Apache, choose a cabin that will please the whole family. Cabin lodgings are traditional in the area and many offer amenities that kids find entertaining. Consider an extended family gathering or reunion at Ruidoso's cabins.

A-Frame Cabins

Avoid the morning juggle for bathrooms---each cabin has one or two bathrooms and two or three bedrooms. The game room offers evening relaxation, and adjacent laundry facilities help keep everyone fresh. Kids can play in the outdoor heated pool, which is open all summer. In the winter, step next door to the Ski Shop, where the ski rental inventory can accommodate the whole family. The adjacent shop offers board rental for snowboarding adventure on the slopes.
