Our cabin has angled parking for 3 vehicles at street level in front of the cabin. Please do not park in or block neighbor's driveways. If you have large vehicles, make sure they are not blocking the street. If a neighbor has contacted us that they cannot get by your vehicle, we will give you a warning to move it. If we hear from the neighbor again, your vehicle will be towed at your expense. If you have more that 3 vehicles, you will need to leave them down in the village & shuttle people up. Parking is at a premium in this tiny village & we need to be respectful of others. We are available for questions or concerns. Owner & local manager contact information is located on the fridge. Our cabin is on the sunny side of the mountain & the same side of the highway as the downtown area which is in walking distance of the cabin. Our little village offers a number of wonderful restaurants, shops, The Lodge for dining & golf, lots of hiking trails, Ski Cloudcroft. We're about 45 minutes from Ruidoso for additional food, shopping & entertainment. Just across the street from the cabin & right behind the other cabins is a hiking trail that connects with the OSHA Trail. You'll want to bring comfortable shoes. It isn't necessary to have a 4-wheel drive vehicle to access the cabin during the summer months but it might be to your advantage to have one during heavy snow. We have very heavy furniture in the cabin. Please do not move furniture around as our cleaner cannot move it back by herself. If she finds she will need help moving back furniture to it's original location, you will be charged $20 for an additional person's help. We are a NO SMOKING property & hope you will respect that. Also, we do not allow fire of any kind on our property. This includes turkey fryers, charcoal grills & fire pits. A propane grill is provided for your use. At times, the fire code may ban even smoking outdoors when the fire hazard is high. Please respect the forest.
