Climbing Bear
52 Saints Terrace, Angel Fire, NM

Just an eight-minute drive (three miles) to the slopes and a four-minute drive (one mile) to the Country Club and lake, Climbing Bear ensures you're never far from the action. While not a ski-in/ski-out, the cabin provides hassle-free access to the resort, with shuttle services available from the parking lot to the ski lift. During ski season, our roads and driveway are diligently plowed for your safety and convenience. Please note, a 4WD vehicle is recommended year-round and required in winter for accessing the cabin.

Renovated with care and attention to detail, Climbing Bear blends modern comfort with Southwestern charm. Owned by a family with deep ties to the Choctaw Nation, the cabin reflects their heritage and love for nature. From warm woodwork to soft textiles, every element exudes coziness and relaxation. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, providing glimpses of wildlife amidst the tranquil landscape.

The owners of Climbing Bear are also our esteemed clients on the Emerald Coast, where they own the beautiful Halito Oka beach house. Their commitment to creating memorable vacation experiences is evident in both their mountain and beach properties, ensuring guests enjoy the best of both worlds.

Inside, you'll find a spacious living, dining, and kitchen area, perfect for gathering with friends and family. Cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace, whip up a meal in the fully equipped kitchen, or simply unwind on the deck and soak in the serene atmosphere. Accommodating up to 12 guests across its 2,706 square feet of interior space, Climbing Bear ensures everyone has a comfortable stay.

Experience true relaxation on the expansive deck, where privacy meets natural beauty. Whether you're relaxing in the new hot tub, gathering around the fire pit, grilling on the propane BBQ, or stargazing under the vast Rocky Mountain sky, Climbing Bear offers a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. And with nearby attractions like the Enchanted Circle towns of Red River and Taos just 25 miles away, there's no shortage of adventures to be had—whether you're hitting the slopes in winter or exploring the great outdoors in summer.

Please note, Climbing Bear does not offer central heating or cooling but provides electric and propane heaters for added warmth. In warmer weather, open the windows, turn on the fans, and savor the crisp mountain air from the comfort of your own cabin retreat. We do not host pets at this mountain cabin, ensuring a pristine and allergen-free environment for all guests.
