Rainbow Oaks 'Free from Disturbance' a quiet haven on 3 acres and PET FRIENDLY

'Free from disturbance' Rainbow Oaks is a quiet haven where time and schedules lose all meaning. Come relax back in time, so you can return to your future with a tranquil stay. Tucked away in the deep forest of the Upper Canyon in Ruidoso on 3 acres is Rainbow Oaks: the oldest cabin on the Ruidoso River. If you love seclusion, history, abundant wild life and a bubbling river, this is the place for you. The property has a spacious yard and swing perfect for children and young at heart adults. Giant rocks for climbing are sprinkled around the property along with hill sides for exploring and a stream to wade. Large picnic table in the yard is wonderful for outdoor dining. There is also a patio with chairs for additional outdoor enjoyment and a screened in front porch facing the river for hours of relaxation. Often deer, elk, bear, turkey and wild horses will wander by as you relax on the porch. Night time brings a new wonder: stars galore and our galaxy, the Milky Way are visible after dark thirty. Be sure to bring your four-legged family members as well, as the cabin is pet friendly! Rainbow Oaks was built in 1915 by the Honorable Judge Medler as a summer retreat from the heat in Las Cruces NM. The name, Rainbow Oaks is for the over 200+ year old Oak tree which is still on the property. The main cabin is one level featuring wood burning fireplace with three bedrooms and two baths including an antique claw foot tub. The old house has been completely renovated. The guest house is one bedroom with kitchen and bathroom separate from the main house. It is perfect for grandparents traveling with family. Cell service is limited in the Upper Canyon, therefore, we provide WIFI for your phones functionality. This property DOES NOT have air conditioning for summer months, but generally is 15 degrees cooler than the rest of Ruidoso and evenings are very comfortable.

Bedding: 3 Queen, 1 Twin

This home is K9 friendly and we do require a $50.00 (plus tax) pet fee per pet that will need to be requested. Please contact us if you are bringing your K-9 so that it can be coordinated correctly.

RAINBOW OAKS
What a perfect get away. You are close to town but in the middle of the woods!! We were visited by deer, elk, a herd of grazing horses. You are also just steps away from the river. It was a perfect relaxing vacation.

Beautiful and secluded
The property was beautiful. The area was secluded which we really liked. The directions were lacking. Adding a couple of more instructions (after the bridge follow the road to the left until you reach a Y and then go right until you see Rainbow Oaks sign) would have been very helpful. All 3 of the families in our group struggled to find the home with the instructions given.

Great wilderness place to stay
This was one of our favorite places to stay. It is very quiet and the river was beautiful. We definitely plan to go there again and will request the Rainbow oaks and Little house again. We now know that this is a great place and will plan to stay longer next time.

Beautiful spot and a great cabin
We loved our stay here. It's a great location surrounded by wildlife and large trees. It's less secluded than the description would lead you to believe as there are several other cabins nearby, but all were empty during our stay.

We did feel very secluded as cabins on either side were unoccupied. Enjoyed the screened in porch and the deer eating apples outside the dining room windows. Cabin furnishings and kitchen utensils could use some updating.

Beautiful little rustic cabin on nice property.
The cabin is rustic but so beautifully maintained and decorated. The property is lovely but a little difficult to find. It was just what we were looking for in a quick get away from the Texas heat. We especially enjoyed the patio and screened in porch.

This is a great property. It borders the Apache reservation. Remote and rustic but still only 5-10 minute drive to Midtown. Perfect if you want to walk with your dog. Screened Porch was great. Internet was good. If you don’t have to be in walking distance of midtown then this is a no brainer.

Well loved cabin
The cabin and guest were a lovely place to stay and clearly a well loved and enjoyed destination. The scenery was beautiful however, there were a few spots in the home that were not as clean as I would have preferred ie a used ear plug on the floor, a dirty toilet bowl, etc.

This place is perfect. The wildlife is abundant. Saw lots of deer, and a bull elk came through quite a bit. Right up against the reservation. Only thing you hear is the river flowing about 25 yards from the house. Loved our stay here.
