The Apple Tree: A Riverfront Retreat

Nestled along the tranquil banks of the Rio Ruidoso, The Apple Tree cabin offers a true escape into nature's embrace. Located just minutes from Midtown, this authentic cabin is surrounded by the crisp mountain air, lush forest, and abundant wildlife, making it the perfect setting for relaxation and inspiration.

Step onto the elevated porch/deck and take in the stunning views of the gently flowing river below. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee in an easy chair, skipping stones along the riverbank, or simply soaking in the soothing sounds of rustling waters, the ambiance of The Apple Tree promises peace and serenity.

Inside, the cabin immerses you in the mountain way of living with rustic charm. Unwind by the cozy woodstove while admiring the natural beauty of the hardwood floors and warm wood finishes. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to whip up a feast, whether you're preparing a simple meal or a grand spread.

The master bedroom features a luxurious king bed and a spacious bathroom with a tub/shower combo, providing the perfect retreat after a day of exploring. A hall bedroom with a queen bed is conveniently located near the half bath, while the guest room boasts a king bed and its own en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. French doors from the guest room open up to the porch, inviting you to step outside and take in the mountain air.

For added convenience, The Apple Tree also includes a utility room with a washer and dryer, making it easy to refresh your wardrobe during your stay. And with central air-conditioning, your comfort is ensured no matter the season.
