Enjoy easy access to the races, nearby casinos, and all the dining, shopping, and entertainment that Ruidoso has to offer.

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.

Weekend Getaway

This cabin was perfect for my little family!!! It was secluded enough for us to have our privacy, but 5-10 away from town. With things to keep us busy with a 3 year old and 6 year old. It was cozy and felt just like home

The property is nestled far away to give you peace and quiet, but close enough to enjoy whatever is happening down town, or run errands. It’s very clean and cozy.

Family vacation

My Granddaughter took me on vacation and the cabin we stayed at was perfect. We had everything we needed and it was located in just the right spot. The cabin sits on a hill so you can see the most beautiful sunsets and stars from the hot tub. It was clean and comfortable.

Short getaway in the mountains

My mom, son and I enjoyed a short getaway in the mountains. We were pleased with the accommodations but the only thing that lingered was a bad smell of smoke or very strong odor. The hot tub was a hit and we enjoyed the view.

Amazing!

I've stayed in a few rental properties in Ruidoso and this place was absolutely impeccable. Not a spot or dust to be found. The cleaning crew did an amazing job (shout out to, Pam!) The house itself is absolutely appropriate for a family, with two beds and two baths. The master room bed is really comfortable but the other bed was not (sorry, kids!) The house provided towels for the hot tub, laundry detergent, sponges for dishes, and dishwasher pods. For the price, it was way better than more expensive properties we've stayed at. The biggest downfall is the fence outside is broken with a quick fall to the road beneath. I was nervous to let the kids play out front. If this was fixed, it would definitely be a 10/10 for every aspect. If you go when it's snowing, it can be a scary drive up (make sure you check the weather), but the views were amazing. Can't wait to come back.
