Ashley's TreeHouse at El Mistico Ranch

Unplug from the city to soak up in nature and experience Ashley's treehouse at El Mistico Ranch. El Mistico Ranch consist of 30 acres of natural high desert land with natural spring waters, nearby Lincoln National Forest as our next door neighbor, you are actually just a short drive to Capitan for basic services and shopping; Ruidoso for arts, golf, dining, skiing, and more. The climate is mild here and the property is vegetated with pinon pine, juniper, and a variety of cacti.

The space
Ashley’s Tree house is part of El Místico Ranch which is on the last northern ridge of the Sierra Blanca or Sacramento Mountains and sits on a 7,300’ elevation. Balcony views catch amazing sunrises and views of the Lincoln national forest and its vegetated hills full of pinon pine, juniper, and a variety of cacti. Star gazing at its finest, minimal light pollution creates crystal clear night sky for star and moon gazers. Guest can explore the near by national forest or hike the most prominent Nogal Peak crest trail w/ a 9,600’ elevation.

Guest access
Tree house has outside elevated balcony as well as a wooden swing underneath the house

Other things to note
Low roofing sitting at only 6’4” tall inside the Tree House. Door entry 6’. Spiral staircase at its most compact point is only 5’9” tall. So taller guest watch out for your head!

It is a tree house so do consider short showers. Hot water will run out within 5 minutes. Recommend waiting 30 mins after first shower so it heats up again.

We're delighted to introduce you to Chester, our friendly Saint Bernard. At just a year old, Chester is a gentle giant with a heart of gold, spreading joy to all who visit.

Chester not only brings warmth and joy to our guests but also plays an important role in taking care of the property. He roams around the ranch, ensuring that everything is in order and providing a sense of security to our guests. Sometimes, he even accompanies guests to their units to ensure they arrive safely.

If you have any concerns about Chester before arriving or during your stay, please let us know.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and a dining table.

Very quaint! Although there’s many other listings on the ranch, we saw or heard nobody! The only thing to note that is not stated on the listing, is the entrance driveway is narrow, so big trucks be careful!

Among the Trees at El Mistico Ranch

This is a true treehouse experience with the actual tree growing through both rooms, creating a unique and fascinating stay. The property is part of El Mistico Ranch, nestled in the mountains and offering breathtaking views. Access is secure, with a gate code required for entry. And if a treehouse isn’t quite your style, El Mistico also offers tipis, a cozy airstream, and other distinctive accommodations.

Our treehouse

The property was beyond awesome. Treehouse perfect for 2 . Probably the best part was Chester to dog. He came to see us every day and go on walks with our dog . Would come and rest and have some water in the treehouse . He even walked us back to our car. Will definitely be back to see him and the property!

Perfect getaway!

This property was exactly as described and just what we needed. My husband and I stayed two nights, but wished we had planned for longer! It was cozy, comfortable and beautiful. It’s obvious the owners have taken time to make their property a relaxing experience that encourages guests to unplug and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. I hope to return one day!

Overall, very nice, peaceful stay.

Property is very nice. Wish i had known there was a Keurig in the place so that i could have taken some pods with me. Only decaf coffee provided. Might be good to provide more info on amenities. Nice outdoor gas grill, toaster, microwave, Keurig coffee machine. Only drawback for us was the mattress. Not as comfortable as i would have hoped. Otherwise, a pleasant stay.

Perfect Getaway

Cozy treehouse with all the amenities you could ask for (more than I'd expect from a treehouse for sure). Excellent location for stargazing, plenty of room to roam on the property. Perfect scenic getaway that I've already recommended to my friends. Note: It's easier to find if you every the address that the host provides rather than clicking the "map" links VRBO provides. And it's much, much easier to find for the first time if you arrive with some daylight.

Wonderful stay

We really loved staying here! The only thing is my husband is 6’4 and couldn’t stand completely straight in the main room. (Bathroom is normal height) but he said even with that he would still definitely stay here again. I agree!

Had a little trouble locating the house but the owner helped show us the way in. An absolutely amazing experience through and through. Waking up and sitting on the balcony over looking the mountains! It's a little slice of paradise tucked away and should be experienced by everyone.
