Set on approximately 3 acres, Little Bear Lodge also offers stables available for rent during extended stays, making it an ideal choice for horse lovers or those seeking even more outdoor adventure.

Be sure to swim or fish at the beautiful Grindstone or Alto Lake, delight your senses at Winter Park with roller coaster and tubing, and explore the ski slopes and hiking trails throughout Ski Apache. Win big at one of our three local casinos and enjoy the excitement of live quarter horse racing at Ruidoso Downs Racetrack. Be happy you took a respite from the concrete jungle.
