About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A Vintage Retreat within earshot of Rio Ruidoso -10 min walk to Midtown Ruidoso.

Our home was originally built in1940. My husband and I have spent the last few years rebuilding it from the ground up, literally. (mostly my husband.) We wanted to save it! It's a lovely place! An historic house, in a magnificent spot! We are a 10 minute walk from Midtown Ruidoso, with wineries, breweries, live bands and many shops. Game trails surround us, so you can view deer, elk, and the occasional bear walk down to the nearby Rio Ruidoso river for a drink. They walk right past our house! We are close to pretty much anything you can think of. Skiing, just 45 minutes away, in the magical Sierra Blanca Mountains. Fish from a list of nearby lakes and streams. Hiking is endless from contained trails in town, to mountaintop trails deep in the woods. You can even go horseback riding! You will love the view out our front windows and you'll have 3 different patios to choose from, while listening to the burble of the Rio Ruidoso. The beds are comfortable and you'll enjoy central cooling and heating. You will love our place!
If you're ever in Arizona, we have a VRBO place near Flagstaff, in a town called "Parks". Our listing number is 2016190. Look us up.
Disclaimer:
We do not recommend our house for the mobility impaired. The steps are steep and the grounds around the place are uneven. It is not a good match for the mobility impaired. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Veronica

Better than described! Super clean and roomy.. easy access from the middle of town, which means you're only minutes away from everything.. but high enough that you're not affected by any weather.. and the elk walk by close enough to pet (don't do it!).. great communication with the hostess.. we will definitely be back!
