Jan always responded in a timely manner whenever I needed to contact her. The house is in a beautiful area in Alto, NM and is supplied with everything you could need for an AMAZING weekend. Four bedrooms with kingsized beds and your own bathroom in each was great for us! My family is already trying to figure out another time to come back.

Beautiful & clean

The location is close to town and in a very nice neighborhood. We've enjoyed the wildlife viewing which includes elk, wild horses, turkey, and deer. The neighborhood is quiet and the home backs up to trees which gives a feeling of total seclusion for great relaxation. The interior of the home is beautiful and clean. We enjoyed each room having it's own bathroom and the kitchen being fully stocked.

Mountain Escape

My family and I make it a point to travel to Ruidoso/Alto area at least 1x a year and like to rent different cabins each time. This time we brought additional family members who have never been to the area. This by far has been our favorite home we have had the pleasure of staying in. The scenery was amazing and the home had everything we needed to make our trip enjoyable. The family was amazed at the space and comfort this home had to offer. We will be staying here again!

Great place, ridiculous rules

The home is beautiful! I gave it a 4 star because of the trash rule. You pay a pretty hefty cleaning fee, BUT if you leave trash in the house and don't take it to the trash you're going to be charged an additional fee. That's ok, but the trash bin is .5 a mile=12 minutes away. The master suite on the main level was so cold the first day and to hot the second. Probably our fault for not reading something somewhere as there is a lot of posted information through the house to read. The house is absolutely beautiful and has everything you need to host and cook. Typically most of them don't and I brought everything I needed to cook a meal and the house had it all down to seasonings and flour. There is an abundance of wildlife, deer, turkey and elk that pass through in the mornings and evenings. The owners communicate very well and easily. The kids room in the basement was very cool and they were all excited about it. Being very close to ski Apache was nice, although we didn't ski this time. I always try to start the towels in the very least before I leave a property and having the laundry detergent and dryer sheets accessible was nice. Again, this is a 5 start home, the trash bit was just a little frustrating.
