Riverway

Close to Midtown yet tucked away in the beautiful Upper Canyon, Riverway offers the perfect mix of convenience and mountain atmosphere. Located at the historic Whispering Pines Cabins beneath towering 100’ Ponderosa pines, this pet-friendly cabin is ideal for small families or two couples traveling together. You’re just minutes from Ruidoso’s restaurants, shops, and art galleries, with easy access to Ski Apache, Lincoln National Forest, and the Rio Ruidoso River, which is only a short walk away. Riverway sits well above the river level, so guests can enjoy the proximity to the water with peace of mind during summer months.

Riverway is a duplex cabin attached to one adjoining unit, but it is well-built and largely soundproof, and guests consistently find it to be quiet and relaxing. Inside, the cabin comfortably sleeps four, with space for two more on the living room sleeper sofa. The cozy living room features a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace, Roku Smart TV, and comfortable seating—perfect for unwinding after a day outdoors.

The kitchen is fully equipped with full-size appliances, microwave, coffeemaker, toaster, and all the cookware and dishes you’ll need. The dining table seats six and is great for meals, games, or planning the next day’s activities. Just outside, the deck offers seating and a gas grill, surrounded by the peaceful forest setting that makes the Upper Canyon so special.

Both bedrooms function as private master bedrooms, each with a king-size bed, ceiling fan, nightstands, and a private in-room vanity, allowing guests to get ready comfortably in their own space. The toilet and shower are located in a shared central bathroom, which is easily accessible from both bedrooms and the main living area.

Riverway offers the charm and character of a classic Upper Canyon cabin while keeping you close to everything. Whether you’re here to explore, relax, or simply enjoy time in the mountains with your family and pets, it’s a comfortable, quiet, and welcoming place to stay.
