A rare 'Spotted Owl' sits among the pine trees patiently awaiting your arrival! This rustic, 1,547 sq. ft. one level, beautiful 3 bedroom/ 2 bath home gives you that true cabin in the mountains feel while still being modern, cozy and unique inside! The wonderful 'Spotted Owl' has recently been remodeled and includes gorgeous finishing touches that you'll have to see to believe; from granite countertops and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, to a gas fireplace you control with a switchon the wall! It even has LED lighting in the living room for some added ambiance in the evenings! While being close to shopping and dining, Spotted Owl is a one level home located in an area of Ruidoso that boasts a secluded and peaceful feeling at the same time. This lovely home has an amazing gated and fenced in front deck for you to enjoy the sights and sounds of the forest while enjoying your morning coffee or evening glass of wine, as well as a private, gated and fenced in backyard for your dog friends (and/or children) to run around in while you grill up some food or relax and unwind in the brand new 5 person hot tub. Included is parking on the side of the home and once entering the back gate, there are virtually no stairs to have to climb to the backdoor! Peaceful and serene, this is the perfect getaway to retreat to and simply not 'give a hoot'! Spotted Owl has central air-conditioning and heat, gas fireplace, and a brand new RO water filtration system (as of 2021). 4 wheel drive and/or chains are highly recommended in the winter months. **Home is equipped with driveway and/or ring doorbell cameras for the safety of our guests and the home. These cameras are only located facing outward toward the driveway or front entrance.

    The photos do not do this wonderful place justice. The location is amazing - after flood they are doing road work so try to go with daylight. We saw wild horses, huge elk, friendly deer. The cabin (which is a not a little cabin- it’s very spacious) has absolutely everything and anything you can think of and it is spotless clean. They had strung Christmas lights and put up a little tree. The hottub was awesome on a day after skiing. My daughter loved the jet tub. My dogs were so comfortable. I cannot say enough great things about this property.

    The pictures sure did this cabin justice! Lots of wildlife to observe right from the covered porch. Very quiet and relaxing place for a family getaway. Only two things we would like to change is for safety and convenience....Looks like a keypad for easy entry would be located on the front door for ease of operation. Putting safety strips in the bathtub will sure help a lot to prevent falls! Hummingbird Cabins has always been a delight to work with and this time is no different.

    Property is very nice but area was ravaged in the past by a fire. We did not have water on Friday Day so we could not shower or use the restrooms 9am - 4:30pm thus losing and changing our plans for that day.

    House is a 10 out 10. Clean and well stocked. Sadly it sits in the middle of burned out forest. There was road construction all day long with semi’s going past the house. I understand it’s due to the fires and while I have great sympathy but they need to state the issues in the listing. Also the parking has been redone and you now have to carry luggage and supplies up the hill.

    Great property. Drive to the property on Cedar Creek was depressing with all of the fire damage all the way up to the house. Semi Trucks lined up and started at 5:30am everyday to load fire damage. Otherwise a great property and very pet friendly.

    The house was just as described. Very nice place with plenty of room. The one thing I would change is the Hot Tub! It was on the very bottom and had to many stairs to get to it. It was good exercise for me! I would recommend this house to anyone! It was so peaceful and nice! Although it is was not the first choice due to the fire and flooding it was the one we could get. Some how the web site hasn't changed to the one we stayed at. That would be the only trouble we had. Loved it!

    We had such a wonderful stay! This cabin has modern amenities but has classic cabin features. We also really enjoyed the decor- beautiful artwork! We also appreciated the bed setup in each room to accommodate for families to share. Thank you so much!
