About this property
Whispering Pines has great deck, hot tub & fire pit. Close to downtown & slopes.
RECENTLY UPDATED. Whispering Pines Retreat has a large deck that is elevated so you can truly enjoy the forest views and nature that frequent the area. The side entrance only has 5 steps down to the deck so no heavy climbing required. Besides the wonderful views, you can enjoy a soothing time in the hot tub or relaxing by the fire after a long day exploring. You can spread out on the wrap-around deck with lots of great space for hanging out with friends and family, including a comfy sofa with fire pit and a propane grill where you can prepare some sizzling steaks or burgers for everyone to enjoy. If you like to play pool, ping pong or want to grab a game of cornhole, go on down to the garage game room and have some fun.
The entire cabin exudes the mountain feel that Ruidoso has become so popular for, with a touch of modern conveniences to enhance your stay. The kitchen provides all the basic necessities you’ll need and an open floor plan that makes it easy to socialize with everyone, whether playing games at the table, chilling by the fireplace or whipping up a meal. You will feel the charm from all the detailed updates that make Whispering Pines the perfect home away from home. Enjoy the little nook in the kitchen for your morning coffee provided with coffee, creamers and sweeteners to make it your own.
The roomy master bedroom has a king size bed and a comfy couch to cozy up to the fireplace and enjoy a movie. The second and third bedrooms have queen size beds. The cabin has central heating and air conditioning and ceiling fans in every room, but on those nice nights there's nothing better than snuggling up under your covers and falling asleep to the cool mountain air coming through the windows and waking up to great forest views. There's plenty of room to get ready in the morning with two full baths with walk-in showers in the hall and a full bath in the master, each one furnished with a shampoo/soap dispenser and hair dryer. This cabin is very tastefully decorated and will surely be a place you'll want to return to time and time again. To make you feel right at home, we've provided Smart TVs with ROKU, a phone charging station, free WiFi and a washer/dryer for your convenience. So drop your cares at the door and come enjoy all that Ruidoso has to offer.
Whispering Pines Retreat is just minutes away from downtown where you can enjoy shopping, bars, great food and live entertainment. There are also many outdoor activities like skiing, snow tubing, ziplining, as well as hiking, fishing and golfing. You can place your bet on your favorite horse at the Ruidoso Downs Race Track or try your hand at the local casinos. Pillow's Funtrackers is a great place for the kids which has go-karts, mini golf and a maze. There is something to do for everyone and it's fun for all ages!

Really loved this place it was nice and clean!! My kids really enjoyed the hot tub!
The property was perfect for our weekend getaway. We were impressed with the comfort and cleanliness of the cabin. Location was close enough to all that Ruidoso has to offer. We will definitely look into staying here again in the future.
We loved our short stay at Whispering Pines. The location is great being close to sking and shopping. I’ve sent the listing to all my friends and checked our calendars to return soon.
We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was clean, kitchen was well stocked, host was super responsive to questions, and my kids (ages 11 and 13) loved the hot tub and game room! We had plenty of space for 4 adults and 2 kids (probably could even add a couple more people comfortably) and having 3 bathrooms was so convenient! It was also super close to the baseball tournament we played in at Eagle Creek Sports Complex which worked out so well. We would definitely stay here again for baseball or a family vacation!
This house was perfect for our family getaway. Had a lot of amenities and location is perfect. We loved the wrap around porch and the master amazing with fireplace. I highly recommend if you are looking for a spacious home away from home gathering. Will stay here again.Vicky was a great host.
This was the weekend we needed! Everything was perfect. So relaxing and peaceful! Pictures don't do it justice. Will definitely try to stay here again.
This cabin was nice and clean, there was some work going on in the mornings as they’re cleaning up from the fires. So it was a a tad bit noisy. We loved the deck it’s huge and had plenty of room. We would stay there again, hopefully this coming spring.
Amazing property. Very clean. I’m so glad we went. The people of ruidoso are amazing. Every one we met was kind and grateful. Will definitely be coming back.
The house was great. The couches and beds are extremely comfortable. Very spacious kitchen and living room. House was clean. The deck. Oh my the deck. It's HUGE. Every morning we ate breakfast out there. This is on our approved list. Highly recommend.
We went for a family adventure & had a great time. Cabin’s in a good location. Kitchen was well stocked & we loved having the hot tub. Vicky was a gracious host & check-in was easy. Our only complaint was a neighbor’s dog barked for 1/2 the night- but not something the owner could control. We would definitely recommend whispering pines.
This house was amazing. It was so homey amazing view it was in the 40s, but the hot tub was amazing. We didn’t have the chance to go play games downstairs because upper level was so inviting well organize love the stickers to explain where everything was at.
First and foremost i want to say a huge thank you to the property owner. The communication was spot on and she answered everytime. I will say this, the pictures do not do it justice. This home is absolutely beautiful and comfortable. From the check in process to the morning we left everything was smooth. We had an issue with the fireplace and the owner sent someone to help us with it the same day. The living room is spacious and we loved the couches. There are three full bathrooms which was perfect when you have four adults and three kids. The bedrooms are comfortable but let me tell you, the master bedroom is the best room in the house. It has a wrap around patio which is awesome. The location is perfect for all the activities we did. I want to say were only 35 minutes out from Ski Apache. This home is hands down the best one if stayed at. We will definitely stay here again anytime we come back.
Overall, we had a lovely week long stay at Whispering Pines. The check-in process was extremely easy, instructions for the home are posted on the living room wall and make figuring everything out a breeze (wifi passwords, locks for the doors and hot tub, etc). There was plenty of space for us and our adult children and we all were very comfortable in the home. The kitchen is well appointed and made cooking easy as well. The wrap around porch was nice and convenient for dining outdoors and grilling out. Vicky, the host, was very responsive. The “cons” are pretty minimal, but still worth mentioning. The photos online of the outdoor area are a bit deceptive. The hot tub is nice, but we didn’t use it as much as I thought we would because it is literally a few feet from the road, so not very private. The porch was nice to enjoy evenings, but during the day there was the constant hum of bulldozers and cars and trucks driving by on the two main roads that pass the front of the house. I understand there’s a lot of rebuilding happening in the area due to wildfires from last year, but we were hoping for a quiet, peaceful retreat for relaxing instead of a construction zone. The house is approximately 15 minutes from the Midtown area, so also not as close as we thought it would be, but it was an easy drive to town. Housekeeping could have done better, but I notified host. She said she’d address it. Overall, it was a good stay, we just expected more for the price.
I can't say enough good things about this property. It is clean, comfortable, well stocked and tastefully decorated. Highlights were the hot tub and viewing wild horses from the beautiful back porch.
Great location, house had everything we needed and more. You can expect to see dear up close and short drive to town. Just down the road were lots of elk and wild horses too. House was great price and allowed us to have a wonderful family vacation.
My family and I enjoyed our stay during the summer. Plenty to do for the kids and got to enjoy the outdoor views. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back to visit!
