What do you picture when you imagine a mountain vacation? |
Situated on over five acres of ponderosa pine studded land in the Upper Canyon, Dan Dee’s thirteen cabins provide the casual comfort reminiscent of Ruidoso’s earlier, simpler times. |

Pesky critters – gnats, mosquitoes, ants, spiders - are a fact of life, but we do our best to keep our cabins free of them. |
The seasons create starkly different scenery and conditions, and mountain weather can change in no time at all. |

A winter afternoon |
It is advisable to carry tire chains in the winter, perhaps an umbrella for the summer monsoons, and it’s always a good idea to use a flashlight when out walking after dark. |
No matter what time of year, it is VERY important to be FIREWISE! Smoking, barbeques, and fireplaces all must be managed properly. |
