A popular southern New Mexico vacation retreat enjoyed by generations of visitors is on the market for $3.6 million.
The Story Book Cabins hotel and larger site is located at 410 Main Road in the Village of Ruidoso and includes 13 hotel rooms.
Nestled in a thicket of Ponderosa Pines, the individual cabins on the site include bedrooms, kitchens, and decks. A review of the retreat for the site Livingcooper.com once described the porch of one of the cabins as “overlooking the street with the peaceful sound of the rushing Ruidoso River in the background.”
Further porch details described by the reviewer: “Two rocking chairs, a small table for coffee to rest, a hammock, and some hummingbird feeders.”
A reporter for the Los Angeles Times, noting that “weekenders from Texas began building clusters of quaint cabins” in Ruidoso in the 1930s, described the Story Book Cabins complex as a “charming, piney alternative to typical ski accommodations.”
With the structures on the site designated as Class C, the Story Book Cabins underwent a renovation two years ago.
Offered by Pinnacle Real Estate and Development, which is based in Alto, New Mexico, the Story Book Cabins also includes office, laundry, and storage space.
