Blue Bear Retreat, 8 Bedrooms, Sleeps 20, Fireplace, WiFi, Pool Table, Yard

Bring a group of up to 20 to stay in this picturesque mountain retreat in the prestigious Eagle Creek area high above Ruidoso village.

Blue Bear Retreat is an eight-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom luxurious, air-conditioned vacation home that sleeps up to 20 when the sofa sleeper is pulled into service. From the moment you pull up to Blue Bear Retreat, you’ll instantly feel the magic.

Walk over the threshold and into a huge great room with high ceilings, towering stone fireplace, and lots of comfortable furniture where you can sit, play games, or watch a TV program on the flat-screen with cable.
