Pet-Friendly [no fee!] A-Frame Cabin w/ Double-decker Mountain View & Hot Tub

Highlighted by an expansive wrap-around porch and second story balcony, this 3bed/2bath retreat offers breathtaking panoramic views of the beautiful mountains surrounding Ruidoso. The exterior also boasts a well-maintained hot tub to soak up the bubbles and views year-round. The cozy interior features a wood-burning fireplace, new central heat & air conditioning, and flat screen TVs in the rooms. Sleeps 10.

This comfy and cozy 3BR/2BA mountain cabin is the perfect getaway for couples or a large family. In an amazing location, you'll easily be able to take advantage of everything Ruidoso and the surrounding area have to offer.

Pretty much as close to the Ski Apache recreation area as you can possibly get, this hideaway is also a quick 10-minute drive to the heart of downtown Ruidoso's unique shops, restaurants, wineries, and breweries -- as well as all the amazing amenities nearby for kids or the young at heart!

Our family has been in Ruidoso for decades after my grandfather brought the family here in the 1960s to build the ski lift on the mountain. We look forward to sharing the natural beauty of our little paradise on earth with you!

This lovely cabin was just right for our family weekend getaway, it was nice and cozy! My 13 year old son especially loved us all gathering around the fire pit roasting marshmallows that is conveniently in the back fenced yard. Amber is a wonderful host and had good communication with me. We had fun and enjoyed our stay! Will be visiting again! Thank you!

Great Family Get Away

Just the view and all the deer/horses roaming around. If you have elderly or small children the stairs to bedrooms are very steep.Going our for meals was great - nice breakfast restaurant with in 2 miles and Michaels Italian was excellent. The western chuck wagon cook out with singing and shoot-out was lots of family fun.

Great Location

We had a great view of Nogal Mountain and plenty of space for a family. We enjoyed the hot tub and one evening a herd of wild horses came up to just a few feet from the hot tub! Was a great experience. We enjoyed cooking and eating on the porch. Clean cabin and easy process of checking in and out.

Very nice property!

We loved this house. The views were outstanding, the house was super clean! The yard was great, and the neighborhood was fantastic! This was a very nice house to stay while visiting Ruidoso. Kinda out of town, but the drive was beautiful into town! The porch and fenced in yard were a great asset for our pups. They loved it too! The host was very responsive. Hope to return to this property again!!

The Perfect Winter Get Away

We loved this house! It was so clean and welcoming! The house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We loved the hot tub, fireplace, and view! Elk and deer came right up to the house! I would recommend this for any family. The fenced yard and wrap around porch was perfect for our little corgi. We will definitely be back!

Nice Stay In Alto!

Place was very nice. It was only a 10 minute commute to Midtown Ruidoso. Beautiful location with a lot of wildlife running around. Cabin has literally everything that you will ever need. I even saw a baby high-chair. Lots of room inside. Heater worked great, hot water came fast and beds were comfortable. When we pulled up in the drive-way upon arrival there were 3 deer laying in the front yard. On the last day we saw the wild horses grazing near the cabin. Host was a great communicator and always responded quickly. We really didn't need much but when we communicated it was fast. Don't hesitate to rent this cabin if you're sitting on the fence with it. It's as described.

Wonderful pet friendly getaway

Everything was super clean & in order. We had everything we needed. The property manager was friendly, communicative & helpful. We were so happy to find a decently priced location that is pet friendly & our 2 dogs enjoyed the stay. With the full fence they were able to roam. Be careful if you have smaller dogs, our slender Boston was able to squeeze through the entrance gate, but no issues with the fenced part. The fireplace was nice, the hot tub was amazing under the stars, and we even saw deer right in the yard. Loved it!

Great little cabin!

This was perfect for our family. One queen bed bedroom downstairs was great to keep my dad from going up and down stairs. We used all the space upstairs as well. Beautiful view out the west window. The porch was great to drink coffee in the morning. Fenced yard keep our doggo contained. The hot tub also has a great view and worked great. The place is not too far from town. My sister took her family hiking at Monjeau Lookout and highly recommends it. Glad we found a place to fit all our needs!
