Chelsea House: Your Mountain Solitude Awaits

Immerse yourself in solitude with a stay at Chelsea House, a hidden gem offering privacy, comfort, and breathtaking Sierra Blanca views. Sink into the large hot tub on the deck and let the mountain air melt your cares away, all while enjoying the beauty surrounding this spacious 3-bedroom, 1800 sq. ft. retreat.

The open floor plan of Chelsea House is perfect for gathering family and friends. Cozy up in the living room for movie night on the flat-screen TV, or cook up a feast in the fully equipped, roomy kitchen. Each bedroom offers its own nook of privacy, ideal for catching up on a good book from the owners' carefully curated collection.

Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood yet minutes from downtown Ruidoso, Chelsea House provides the best of both worlds: seclusion and convenience. With central air conditioning for summer comfort, this mountain charmer is ready to welcome you any time of year. Book your stay today and unwind in the warmth and beauty of Chelsea House!

Lost Mountain is just two houses down from Chelsea House, while Grindstone Cowboy and Grindstone Casa Escondida are located only 1/2 away—perfect options for larger group accommodations.

Ruidoso, Alto, and surrounding areas: Submerse yourself within the towering pines of Lincoln County and watch local wildlife such as elk, deer, wild horses, turkey, birds, and more in their natural habitats. Plan a day basking in the stillness of our national forest while hiking, biking, or fishing, golfing at one of our multiple golf courses or spend a fun night out on the town at one of the area's local attractions! 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. Come relax and refresh with us!

Great stay

Great place. Very clean. Like that it didn't have a bunch of stairs. Great view from back deck. The only thing there could have been......is extra blankets for beds. Otherwise, it was great. Just FYI...if roads are iced over, you would definitely need chains on tires to get up and down on driveway because it is very steep.

Mother's Day Getaway

Three moms took a weekend away and absolutely loved this house! We played Mah Jongg on the deck enjoying the beautiful view. On Saturday we went into town and did a Paint & Sip and had dinner at the Texas Club. It was such a relaxing weekend and we will definitely be reserving this property again next year!
