A rare "Spotted Owl" in the pine trees w/ hot tub & Pet Friendly!

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 switch on 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.

Nice house
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!

Mountain Magic in Ruidoso! 5-Star Escape at Spotted Owl cabin
This cabin was an absolute dream! From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The spacious kitchen was a chef's delight, allowing us to whip up delicious meals every morning and evening. We loved cozying up in the comfortable living room and catching a movie on the large screen TV after a day of exploring the beautiful surroundings. Speaking of beautiful surroundings, the hot tub and decking was the perfect way to unwind under the star-filled sky. The fenced in backyard was a haven for my chihuahua, who spent hours happily running around and sniffing out all the new scents. As a birdwatcher, I was thrilled! I spotted at least six different species flitting around the property, adding to the peaceful ambience. But the wildlife sightings didn't stop there! We were lucky enough to see majestic elk, curious turkeys, and even a band of wild horses during our stay. The entire neighborhood exuded a sense of tranquility, making it easy to understand why some people would choose to call this place home. Overall, our stay at the Spotted Owl cabin was truly unforgettable. The cabin itself was exceptional, the location was perfect, and the abundance of wildlife made it a nature lover's paradise. We can't wait to return someday!

Our family and fur babies loved our stay @spotted owl. It was clean, cozy and pet friendly. We would definitely stay again. Hoping that in the future they think about placing a king size bed in master bedroom. That would make our stay even better.

Left the heat of West Texas to escape to this gem in the woods of Ruidoso. It is a very well appointed cabin that comfortable fit all 5 of us. We had a great time and we would return again next time we are in town.

summer vacation
The property was very nice, clean and updated. We would definitely stay there again. The only thing I could say that we wished was different was the grass in the backyard was pretty tall in spots, so it was hard for our small dog to find a place to us the bathroom. My husband called maintenance about it but we did not get a response. This was a minor issue. We had a great stay!

Cozy Mountain Getaway
We travel a lot and the Spotted Owl mountain house was the best place we’ve stayed. The location to town is perfect. The house is tucked away in a nice neighborhood in the forest but only ten minutes from town and everything else. We saw tons of wildlife in the neighborhood every day (wild horses, deer, elk, chickens.) The owners of this home have thought of every little detail to make it easy to find things and to make you feel right at home. The home was spotless and the little touches made the place so inviting and comfortable. We loved enjoying the views from the front porch in the morning. We actually saw three deer right on the property. Movie nights in front of the stone fireplace were a good way to relax after a busy day outside enjoying nature. The hot tub in the backyard was private and the perfect place to star gaze after a long day hiking. The linens were fresh and fluffy, the beds and couch were comfortable and the entire home was spotless. We cooked a few dinners while we were there and the kitchen had everything we needed. All of the appliances are brand new. The layout of the home is open and spacious yet cozy at the same time and the decor is perfect for a mountain house! Thank you to the owners who are willing to share such a special place with others. You make your guests feel like family with the way you care for your mountain house. There is a lot of love in that home and all guests are bound to feel it. When we return to fRuidoso we will always stay at the Spotted Owl! My little girls are already asking when we can visit again.
