We are Ron and Cathi Chambers. Cathi was born in New Mexico and her heart never left, so owning a place in the ‘Land of Enchantment’ comes full circle. We searched four states from North Carolina to New Mexico to find a mountain home for retirement, but the trip to Ruidoso ended our search. The heavily treed mountains and cool mountain air, the rivers and lakes, the quaint town with nearby places of interest hit all of our “must haves” and more. Once we found this tranquil cabin in Upper Canyon, we knew we had found the perfect mountain retreat.
The cabin needed attention, but that’s our specialty. Eagerly we jumped in to remodel this gem to its full potential. The kitchen is all new, as is the electrical, plumbing, gas logs, washer/dryer, hot tub, redwood decking, and energy efficient windows. The original charm of the cabin remains with warm wood trim throughout and nature right at the doorstep. It’s a great package, and the location can’t be beat. The property is a natural path for wildlife as they come to take a drink in the Ruidoso River and travel back to their home in the forest (the cabin backs up to the forest). Nights at the cabin bring crisp mountain air and bright shining stars.
We suggest bringing the young ones with you. Our grandsons absolutely love this property. They don’t even ask for electronics and rarely turn on the TV. There is just too much to see and do that’s new and exciting. One bonus this year included watching the progress of two sets of “Bambi” twins as they lost their spots and matured to young deer.
We sincerely hope you choose to stay here often and love it as much as we do.
