The Apple Tree! This unique cabin certainly offers something for everyone!

The Apple Tree: A Riverfront Retreat

Nestled along the tranquil banks of the Rio Ruidoso, The Apple Tree cabin offers a true escape into nature's embrace. Located just minutes from Midtown, this authentic cabin is surrounded by the crisp mountain air, lush forest, and abundant wildlife, making it the perfect setting for relaxation and inspiration.

Step onto the elevated porch/deck and take in the stunning views of the gently flowing river below. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee in an easy chair, skipping stones along the riverbank, or simply soaking in the soothing sounds of rustling waters, the ambiance of The Apple Tree promises peace and serenity.

Inside, the cabin immerses you in the mountain way of living with rustic charm. Unwind by the cozy woodstove while admiring the natural beauty of the hardwood floors and warm wood finishes. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to whip up a feast, whether you're preparing a simple meal or a grand spread.

The master bedroom features a luxurious king bed and a spacious bathroom with a tub/shower combo, providing the perfect retreat after a day of exploring. A hall bedroom with a queen bed is conveniently located near the half bath, while the guest room boasts a king bed and its own en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. French doors from the guest room open up to the porch, inviting you to step outside and take in the mountain air.

For added convenience, The Apple Tree also includes a utility room with a washer and dryer, making it easy to refresh your wardrobe during your stay. And with central air-conditioning, your comfort is ensured no matter the season.

The Apple Tree cabin is more than just a place to stay—it's a place to make memories that will last a lifetime, offering the perfect balance of seclusion, nature, and all the comforts of home.

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!

Great cabin
Beautiful cabin in good location. Living room was so comfortable & spacious. Kitchen was very nice. Only complaint the third bedroom bed was terrible- needs new mattress and it squeaks horribly when you move. Otherwise a wonderful stay. Deck was perfect for relaxing.

This was a great place to stay. Easy to get to and from. The only thing that was bothersome with the hole in the floor in the kitchen...was kinda of scary to walk thru and the fact that there was a very STRONG smell of pot when we got there and still lingered into the next day but was not as strong day #2. Gave all of us a headache.

Relaxing
We had a much needed, relaxing break from the Texas heat. The cabin is very rustic but cozy and fairly clean. Kitchen had everything we needed and was very nice. The best thing was the deck overlooking the river. It enhanced our stay and was just what we were hoping for!

Great experience!
We had a girls' weekend getaway to Ruidoso in August, and we loved the Apple Tree cottage and the Upper Canyon area. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything a home cook needs, so that was a pleasant surprise. We baked, made soup, and lots of snacks and had every pan and utensil we needed. The beds were moderately comfortable, but the smaller bedroom has a metal framed bed that is very noisy (needs a little WD 40). The porch and living areas are fantastically cozy. The only complaint we have is that the cabin needs a deep clean. Rustic, yes! Spider webs, dust, dirty vents, and baseboards, not so much. We would definitely stay again but would call ahead and ask for a deep clean before our visit.

Save Your Time and Rent From A Different Rental Group
I actually did not have a chance to stay at the property because the management group, Hummingbird Cabins, moved us to a different location due to "plumbing issues". 15 minutes before check-in to the updated place, I was moved to a place that I did not pick or have an option to pick. The updated place actually cost less than the listing I paid for (but I was not refunded a difference). They make you sign a lot of paperwork that is not disclosed in their listing, but they are not transparent that this is required until after you are locked in and do not have an option to cancel. Read: sign or forfeit over $1,000 for a two day stay. They have dishonest and unfair business practices that are not centered around the person visiting. They are not transparent and I will not stay at any cabin managed by them in the future. We were really looking forward to staying at this listing, but we were stuck in a reservation we could not cancel (even though we were redirected to a reservation we did not have any choice in). The place we ended up at did not have the same features and amenities of the place we originally booked. Save your time and avoid this scam.

Quiet Family Retreat
We enjoyed a quiet time for our family. We joined our son who is in the Army with his fiance and her son for a time of rest and to get to know each other. The cabin was clean and had plenty of character. The location was just what we needed to get away and get time for our family.
