Maybe we just had a "bad" cabin. Cabin #14, but I feel like some updating of the bedding, etc. would make your stay much nicer. Thin sheets and rough blankets, and an old polyester spread that had patches on it where it had been "sewn up". I'm thinking bedding is pretty important for having a nice stay. It was clean,... More

Ponderosa cabins were cozy and comfortable. My family and I enjoyed it very much. We stayed 3 days and 2 nights. We didn't want to leave. Note: no a/c. We were there end of June but we still enjoyed our stay. Weather was great to sit outside by the porch even though it was hot during the day, but weather... More

My wife and I have been at The Ponderosa Cabins two times this year, (2011), and are going the the 3rd time in December. These cabins are great for families or couples. It's close to the stores and it provides a place to rest when your through exploring. The inside of the cabins are what someone needs for the mountains.... More

In August of 2011 we spent a wonderful 4 days here. It's a little hard to see the entrance from the main street, but we were very happy that we did find these hidden cabins. We had everything provided to us and it was very clean and quiet. And our little dog loved it. Management was excellent and always available.... More

Stayed there with my parents just recently and I had a great experience. It was quiet and cozy. The cabins were very rustic and had everything needed. I would recommended this place to more people. Its a true hidden little gem.

There are no cabins in the woods in Ruidoso. At least I didn't see any. The cabins at Ponderoso, and other places seen along the way, start 20 to 30 yards in from the sidewalk. The woods at the top of the low mountain that constitutes the city are all intersected by roads, so that only patches of trees are... More

When you drive in you are in a park like setting. I was surprised since it was on the main drag of Ruidoso. I got everything I wanted. The shops are in walking distance and that was really nice condidering what a pain it is to park when the Village is so busy. It was a great experience and I... More

We stayed in cabin 18, perfect for a couple or a family with small children. The cabins are rustic and dated but very clean. It looked like all the flooring was pretty new. The ceiling in the bathroom needed some work and the bathroom was outdated. We enjoyed the wonderful fireplace and the location. We were able to walk to... More
