Great!

This house was perfect for our family. We loved the open space and the game room. We used the hot tub every day after skiing. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. Bonus is being able to park in the back and not have to use the stairs. Fireplaces were amazing during the snow.

Great house for Spring Break ski vacation

This house did not disappoint. Ideal location only minutes away from Winter Park and the road that takes you up to Ski Apache. Spacious floor plan, thoughtful amenities, several TVs, hot tub and pool table. Even my 4 teenagers were pleased. Great communication with the owner. If we return to Ruidoso, we will definitely stay here again.

Perfect spot for relaxing

This vacation spot was perfect for our family of four. The kids had their own rooms and TV’s, the kitchen was easy to prepare meals in and had anything I needed for cooking, the gameroom was so fun with the pool table, and there were tons of games to play in the game cabinet. The beds were comfortable, and we loved the wraparound deck and hot tub. The location was great. Just a few minutes to get into Ruidoso or fish/hike at Alto Lake and only 20-30 minutes from Grindstone Lake and Ski Apache. We enjoyed watching deer and elk from the house and waking up to have coffee on the chilly mornings. We wished we had a few more days to enjoy. The host was responsive to any questions and helpful. We would definitely stay again should we come back to Ruidoso!

Outstanding property!

Loved our stay! Perfect house for enjoying our time in Ruidoso. The drive was not too far at all, and the house had a great hot tub, and pool table. Awesome decks outside to sit and enjoy the mountain views. We even saw deer and elk on our short walks around the property. You can't go wrong with this property!
