A Gem with Views of Capitan Gap
The cabin was absolutely charming, clean, and warm. I felt right at home. Everything was clean and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed including coffee in the morning. The porch was one of my favorite places to sit at night and the view of Capitan Gap Mountain. I can't wait to go back! So relaxing!

Quaint farmhouse, clean and quiet, with everything one needs available. Centrally located for history buffs - with Smokey Bear monument in Capitan, the town of Lincoln, which is one big museum, Fort Stanton, and Ruidoso close by.

Sweet casita!
This was a very relaxing place to unwind. Small but very clean. Everything we needed was there. Fenced in area for our dog, nice porch with great views of the mountains. Quiet but close to town where there’s a well-stocked market, a couple of restaurants (Oso Grill has the best green Chile cheeseburgers and homemade ice cream). Short scenic drive to Ruidoso. Must visit Smoky Bear Historical Park and the historic town of Lincoln.
