We stay here each time that we go to Ruidoso. The rooms are always clean, well maintained, and reasonably priced. The best thing about this place are the owners. They are always pleasant to visit with and will call you by name. More

The hotel was perfect for our vacation; the self contained rooms (we had the raccoon suite) were perfect for what we needed. With a full kitchen and living area it made the stay that little extra pleasant, we were there during Christmas and it began snowing the day we arrived and snowed for 2 days straight. That hotel is very... More

I have stayed in plenty of Cabins in New Mexico and this one is definitely a C- at best (504 Main St). There was an abudant smelll of propane in the cabin due to the multiple heaters throughout the cabin. The hot-tub was awesome though. We really did not eat in due to there being only Salvation Army reject quality... More

This was our first time staying in a cabin or in this case, trailer converted cabin. The place was clean and felt like a cozy home. They are a bit older but have character. Stayed in 2 different cabins since we decided to stay an extra night. They were both fully stocked with kitchen utensils, plates and pans, bathroom soaps,... More

We stayed in "Mountain Elegance", a studio Jacuzzi suite, for two nights starting on Thanksgiving. We got off to a rough start when we locked ourselves out of the cabin at 10pm on Thanksgiving Day, but we called the emergency number on the office door and a very friendly (and forgiving!) gentleman showed up in about 2 minutes to let...

Let's start by saying that the property location and exterior beauty is great. The upper canyon area just west of downtown is very nice and peaceful, and fortunately there are many options for lodging. This was our second visit this year to Ruidoso, with our first stay a few blocks up Main Rd. at the Storybook Cabins. So that was... More

We stayed for a long weekend in Nov, and we will be going back again! The inn keepers were wonderful and informative. We were in a jacuzzi suite, that had a small kitchenette. It was conveniently located close to downtown and everything was easily accessed from there. Very clean, only complaint was lack of filtered water and shower head could... More

The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are dark and dated, but clean. The location is convenient to "downtown" Ruidoso. More

We atyed at the Upper Canyon Inn in one of the Honeymoon Cabins, and were very impressed. It was such a relaxing and peaceful place. There is a 2 person jacuzzi tub in the room, a fireplace, and even a flat screen TV with a DVD/VCR combo. My boyfriend especially liked the decor- lots of ducks and very "out-doorsy". In... More

Recently had a family reunion in Ruidoso NM. Nine of us stayed @ the 6 bedroom condo @ Upper Canyon Cabins. The entire condo was dirty, outdated, dark and dingy. We had to call a plumber to fix kitchen sink that wouldn't drain. All sinks were slow to drain. No gas in propane grill. 41 narrow steps between the lower... More
