Description
Cruthirds: Casual Comfort and Mountain Charm
Welcome to Cruthirds Cabin, a cozy retreat named in honor of family ancestors, offering the perfect mix of mountain charm and casual comfort. This inviting cabin is designed for a laid-back escape with a spacious outdoor area, a covered hot tub, and all the warmth of a traditional Ruidoso cabin. Step inside to a welcoming living space featuring an open kitchen, dining area, and a wood-burning fireplace (firewood is NOT provided), with large windows framing the natural beauty outside.
Nestled in a quiet, secluded neighborhood, Cruthirds is a stone’s throw from downtown shopping, dining, and entertainment, yet remains a peaceful hideaway for recharging and savoring the crisp mountain air. With visits from local wildlife like deer, elk, and even the occasional wild turkey, every stay promises a touch of nature. The fully equipped kitchen invites you to prepare your favorite meals, or simply bring home a taste of Ruidoso from nearby restaurants.
Wake up refreshed in cozy beds, and start your mornings with a warm drink by the fireplace on crisp, cool days. For summer stays, central air conditioning ensures extra comfort, though the cool mountain breezes and open windows are often all you’ll need. With dog-friendly accommodations, Cruthirds is a wonderful spot to share mountain moments with loved ones—two- and four-legged alike!
Ruidoso, Alto, and surrounding areas: Submerse yourself within the towering pines of Lincoln County and watch local wildlife such as elk, deer, wild horses, turkey, birds, and more in their natural habitats. Plan a day basking in the stillness of our national forest while hiking, biking, or fishing, golfing at one of our multiple golf courses or spend a fun night out on the town at one of the area’s local attractions! Be sure to swim or fish at the beautiful Grindstone or Alto Lake, delight your senses at Winter Park with roller coaster and tubing, and explore the ski slopes and hiking trails throughout Ski Apache. Win big at one of our three local casinos and enjoy the excitement of live quarter horse racing at Ruidoso Downs Racetrack. Be happy you took a respite from the concrete jungle. Come relax and refresh with us!

By Esther, Posted: 06/15/2024Good choise for place to stay at .
By Guadalupe, Posted: 05/27/2024The cabin is cozy and clean. All the necessities to have a more than enjoyable stay. The location is perfect for travel to any area activities. A great place to stay!??????????
By Terri, Posted: 05/23/2024The cabin was amazing, combinations awesome, location was great and will definitely return.
By James, Posted: 05/19/2024This is a wonderful property. Nice and quaint, isolated but convenient. 5 minutes from the downtown strip, but when there feels like you’re 30 minutes out. Also perfect location for fishing trips. 7 minute walk to grindstone.. just could bot say enough about this place. Wildlife everywhere, safe and sound. Left my fishing rods on the deck and were left there all trip. This place is amazing.
By Angela, Posted: 04/15/2024Very nice property, had a great time.
By Scott, Posted: 03/25/2024The location and parking and just about everything this place has was perfect in my opinion. Only having one shower was a bit of a challenge which I didn't notice when looking at the listing. Everrything including the hot tub, deck, privacy and location were perfect for us. Would highly recommend for smaller groups.
By Kevin, Posted: 03/23/2024Beautiful place to stay, wish we could stay longer.
By Jeff, Posted: 02/24/2024Awesome cabin right next to town
By Valerie, Posted: 02/13/2024We very much enjoyed the stay we saw deer and a pack of wild horses in the yard. We went to the very nearby lake for a beautiful hike. The casino and downtown were both not far from the cabin. We enjoyed the hot tub. We also really loved the wall of windows lots of sunlight and we enjoyed watching the nature around us. The cabin was clean minus a few spider webs in hard to reach areas. We were able to cook and we pretty much had all the cook wear we needed and the grill was easy to use. The house rules and leaving day instructions were pretty clear and nothing too extra as far as cleaning.
By Hannah, Posted: 11/13/2023We loved every day here at the hummingbird cabin! We will be renting with them again ?
By Marylou, Posted: 10/09/2023I love it here, we were out away from the neighbors lol.... a quiet place to getaway. I will be coming back soon
By Robert, Posted: 08/23/2023Nothing fancy, but adequate for our use. The Frisbee golf course is something to see. Very challenging.
By Amy, Posted: 08/06/2023We have traveled to Ruidoso over 12 times and twice with our two children. This cabin in BY FAR the nicest small cabin we have stayed in. Perfect for a fam of 4-5. Our kids slept upstairs and we slept in master downstairs. The cabin was very clean! The location was top notch - very secluded compared to Upper Cabin. Every cooking amenity you could need, plenty of towels, blankets, trash bags, paper towels/toilet paper, etc… There is a baby gate, FYI. Wish we would have seen it sooner.
By Kylie, Posted: 07/26/2023Great location and had everything we needed.
By Ernesto, Posted: 07/17/2023Nice place to stay
By Raymond, Posted: 06/28/2023Great place. Nice cabin
By Angel, Posted: 06/04/2023We had a great view of the woods. A family of six deer walked right up to us! We mostly ventured out to dine and to go to the horse races. But coming back to a quiet cabin in a wonderful location was very nice indeed.
By Monte, Posted: 05/22/2023Loved the cabin and its location and amenities! Had a wonderful time!
By Kenneth, Posted: 05/12/2023It was a good time
By Nic, Posted: 05/02/2023It was so nice to have all the amenities and comfortable place to stay so close to everything. The hot tub and the apple craving deer were a fun plus.
By Brent, Posted: 03/15/2023Very nice weekend getaway cabin, very cozy and clean. Had everything we needed as well. Will probably stay again
By Jorge, Posted: 01/09/2023Easy and efficient. nice and relax
By Richard, Posted: 12/31/2022Quaint little cabin, nestled near the edge of town. Would stay again.
By Adrian, Posted: 12/01/2022We had a great time! Had unexpected snow. Saw deer and elk from the porch. Hot tub was great and the cabin was just as described and depicted. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
By Vincent, Posted: 11/26/2022Cabin was nice, clean and well stocked with dishes. Plenty of deer strolling through the property in the mornings and evenings. They seem to like apples and are very friendly! Only downside to the weekend was the Hot tub wasn't operating and since it was snowing the repair man wouldn't come out to repair it. Overall I would stay here again .
By Jack, Posted: 10/16/2022Very quiet and relaxing
By Ana, Posted: 09/14/2022Lovely area, rustic lived in cabin that felt warm and inviting.
By Curtis, Posted: 06/29/2022This was very quiet neighborhood and a quaint property. It was clean and very rustic.
By Tilden, Posted: 06/12/2022House was overall great. A/C had a little trouble keeping up but it was in the mid 90’s outside. Convenient to downtown and to other roads. Super quite area to sit out in the hot tub and enjoy the evenings.
By Chris, Posted: 03/09/2022It was great and we saw a lot of deer and horses
By Sally, Posted: 12/31/2021Our Favorite lasting memories was roasting marshmallows and feeding the deer. Also loved that the cabin was decorated for Christmas.
By Missy, Posted: 11/14/2021Cute cabin! Great location. Everything you need. Hiking minutes away
By Hanna, Posted: 11/10/2021Absolutely loved this cabin! Good location next to Grindstone lake and near the casino. Would be good cabin for a family! Perfect getaway!!
By Kendra, Posted: 09/19/2021Cute Cabin!
By Leticia, Posted: 08/10/2021The property is within walking distance of Grindstone which made it easy to trail run and swim
By Daniel, Posted: 07/16/2021Overall we had a good time and the cabin worked well for us.
By Dileep, Posted: 06/04/2021We had a great family time
By Nick, Posted: 03/31/2021The cabin was clean and exactly as advertised. All information provided before our stay and within the guide book in the cabin was helpful and accurate.
By Ricardo, Posted: 01/07/2021Great place
By Miranda, Posted: 10/29/2020Great location and peaceful
By Lisa, Posted: 10/15/2020The cabin was great! Well stocked kitchen and everything we hoped it would be. It was quiet and at the end of the street so we were secluded which is what we were hoping for.
By William, Posted: 09/11/2020A nice property, excellent location. We were treated to a bugling bull elk in the evening. The cabin was well provided, and we'd happily stay there again.
By Delisa, Posted: 07/20/2020Thank you for a great vacation getaway!
