Guests highlight the cozy cabin feel, with many returning for repeat stays
“Sprucewood” is one of the few original 1940s split-log cabins in the popular and wooded Upper Canyon. Filled with new, modern-rustic design, it’s an historical gem at the top of the hill, with deck overlooking distant mountain peaks, pines, and cabins. Friendly deer walk through the yard. The river is a scenic stroll away. An easy hike through the woods of Perk Canyon is a 2-minute drive; shops & dining are a 5-minute drive. With hot tub, and ski-lodge decor, it screams mountain cabin getaway

The space
Sprucewood is unique in Upper Canyon due to being one of the few original split-log cabins from 1940. While it boasts seniority in the Upper Canyon, it also has the modern amenities. The front, upstairs deck has a dining table for 5, a gas bbq grill, and feels like a treehouse overlooking the neighborhood below. Amidst towering Pines, it’s the perfect place for morning coffee and breakfast. The living room has a modern gas fireplace, tv with cable and DVD player, WiFi, a leather loveseat, and large couch. The open floor plan and enormous kitchen island make the upstairs living area great for socializing while preparing meals. Two private, queen-size bedrooms are upstairs, with a full, updated bathroom between them, equipped with glass vessel sink. The downstairs bedroom has a new king-size bed, its own private bathroom with slate shower (no bath), tv, WiFi, and cable. The downstairs bedroom can only be accessed by the exterior staircase, and has its own exterior door. There is no interior stairwell. Makes a perfect, private Master Suite. Step out the front door of the downstairs bedroom and about 8 steps up, and you are on the upper deck. The back deck features a hot tub large enough to seat 6 (with optional color-changing lights), and extra seating that offers a more hidden, tucked away atmosphere. Sprucewood cabin is fully equipped with all dishes, cooking utensils, mixing bowls, blender, crockpot, pots/pans, coffee pot, etc. Everything you would need for a relaxing escape. Pour a glass of wine, grill some steaks on front deck, and keep your eyes peeled for the occasional black bear that may roam thru the neighborhood! Ruidoso, and especially the Upper Canyon, is truly a magical place!!

Neighborhood highlights

Sprucewood Cabin is located in the historic Upper Canyon. Surrounded by tall ponderosa pines and adjacent to the national forest. The Perk Canyon trail head is about 1/4 mile from the cabin. It's a short walk down to the Rio Ruidoso river. The heart of Ruidoso is a short 1.5 mile drive or just 5-7 miles to ski run road. It's the perfect place to escape and relax. It's not uncommon to see wildlife roaming the area. Deer, turkeys, elk, and occasionally black bears.
