If you want to be close to town but also surrounded by forest, Bear Cave is the ideal vacation spot for you and your family. Your sprawling, western-facing deck gives you a spectacular view of the mountains. Yet, you are within easy walking distance of midtown Ruidoso and a short drive from the Cree Meadows Public Golf Course.

When you pull up to Bear Cave you’ll find plenty of places to park. If you visit in winter, be aware of potential snowy and icy conditions.

If you are traveling with someone who has trouble with stairs, you’ll especially appreciate the ramp and rail access to the front door. Once you cross the threshold you’ll enter the great room with vaulted ceiling, an incredible wall of windows with sliding glass door out onto the deck, and plenty of comfortable furniture. Imagine the fun you’ll have sitting around a crackling fire in your wood-burning fireplace and watching a movie on your DVD player. These are the moments that make vacations special. Your TV also has cable so you can keep up with your favorite shows.

Want to send photos home to friends That’s easy. Just use the free Wi-Fi you have at Bear Cave. It’s also a great asset for making reservations or checking out websites for area attractions. From nearby Ski Apache Resort to Cree Meadows Golf Course, you have an endless array of fun activities available when you stay at Bear Cave.

On many an afternoon after you’ve hiked nearby trails, fished in Grindstone Lake, or visited the shops in downtown Ruidoso, you’ll probably settle out on your sprawling deck to take in the forest’s beauty and the exceptional mountain view. Gather your friends for evening cocktails on the deck and follow these up with dinner cooked on your gas grill. Food tastes so wonderful in the great outdoors.

You also have a dining table with an excellent view of nature where you can serve your group. Your kitchen is part of the great room space, separated only by an expansive breakfast bar. With a full complement of appliances, cookware, serving ware, and utensils at your command, you’ll be able to prepare your favorite recipes and delight your guests as often as you wish. At the edge of your kitchen are a full-sized washer and dryer so you can keep everyone in clean clothes.

On many days you’ll want to eat out, and there are many restaurants with tasty fare close to Bear Cave. When it’s light outdoors, you can even walk to some of these.

When night falls, you’ll be more than ready to head for your primary bedroom. A comfortable king-sized bed awaits you. As the ceiling fan gently stirs the air-conditioned air, you’ll quickly fall into a deep sleep.

Close by your primary bedroom is your primary bathroom with a large walk-in shower and vanity with lots of storage. Getting ready for your day will be a pleasure in this room.

Guests traveling with you have their own private retreat. Their bedroom includes a queen-sized bed with ceiling fan and large closet. There’s a vanity with great lighting close by within the room. Plus, guests staying in this room also have a private bathroom. Having a second bathroom makes getting ready so much easier. There’s no waiting for your turn in the shower!

Plan your next getaway at Bear Cave today. Located near Cree Meadows golf course, but within easy distance of everything you want to do in the Ruidoso area, this is a vacation you’ll remember fondly for years to come. 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 to access the home during winter months. Maximum 2 vehicles.

    Many repairs need to be done, including electrical repairs, drywall and railing. 1. The front door is nearly impossible (at best) to open. It is a serious fire hazard if you needed to exit the residence quickly as in a fire. This unrepaired condition is against fire code, but somehow it is still rented out. 2. There is a TV in the living room that does not have a remote, so we were unable to watch it during our stay. We notified the office and they immediately sent over a technician (Andrew) who could not get it working with the remote he brought. However, he shook my hand, looked me in the eye and promised me that he would be back the next day with a remote that would work. Never heard from him or anyone else again. Victoria told me on the phone that they would compensate us for the lack of use, but of course there has been nothing from Condotel. 3. The shower does not drain properly. Within a few minutes, you're standing in water nearly up to your ankles. 4. It appears by the photos that you are somewhat secluded. You aren’t, you’re next to a street and it gets noisy at times.

    Check in was easy, and property was just as described. House was nice and clean with great views and lots of wildlife around. We stayed for a week while skiing for spring break, and I’d definitely rent this property again. It’s very close to shops in town if that’s your interest.

    This is a lovely property. However, there are multiple minor things that needs to be addressed. The internet was not working. The hot tub was turned off and therefore was cold and we could not use it. The toliet seat is broken. Sweep behind the bed! The home is beautiful and perfect for a small group. Great kitchen and family room with recent kitchen upgrades. This would be a great for the summer time as well in order to utilize the sizeable deck. I would choose this place to stay again if the minor inconveniences were fixed.

    The property was dusty and had cobwebs on some of the light fixtures, trash was not removed from the previous renter which made the place smell when we arrived, found dog poop on the carpet even though the listing said no pets allowed, dvd did not work, and there was no vinegar or dish tablets to follow check out instructions so we had to buy our own supplies.

    The house and property were perfect for us. We enjoyed the outdoor deck and nicely decorated interior. It had everything we needed. Although it was great to be so close to everything the noise from the road was disappointing. We did however have a lot of wildlife right on the property with elk and birds.
