About this property

Entire place

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

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!

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!

Amber is just amazing! Very communitive and even left us a welcoming basket with doggo treats for the puppers which they loved by the way. The home is so cozy and had everything you would need. I got to check off a bucket list item of drinking coffee with a mountain view. The view is absolutely beautiful from the bedroom balcony. The only down side is it didn't snow while we were there.

Relaxing vacation home
This is the perfect property for a nice relaxing get-a-way. Especially if you want to sit on the porch and read all day. If you want to get out and about the property is close to just about everything. The house is cozy and perfect for family to gather and visit. We highly recommend this property and will likely book again for future trips to the Ruidoso area.

Spent a week a this wonderful cabin. 5 stars for enclosed porch and fenced yard. Very difficult to find nice cabins with fenced yard. The pups felt like they were on vacation. Great location, well stocked, and nice views. Nice to see the wild horses in the yard. Thanks Amber. We will be back.

Really nice views and porch!
My husband and I stayed here for a week our dog in August. Really loved the enclosed back yard and secure wrap around porch for the dog. Great little balcony upstairs to get higher, but we spent most of our time on the front porch, drinking coffee/wine and relaxing. The one thing I could have used was an electrical outlet on the front porch because my phone kept dying from playing Pandora and scrolling! The kitchen was well stocked and had the cooking items we needed. Be aware there is no dishwasher so I suggest paper plates unless you want to do a lot of hand washing. We love Alto to get away from Ruidoso traffic and to get near our new fav dog friendly winery, Enchanted Vine! We saw several deer around the house. Great place, thanks Amber!

Great cabin for traveling with doggos!
This cabin had everything we needed! The closed in deck and fenced back yard was so great for my husband and me and our two pups!! The owner was so communicative and made sure we had all the information we needed to make our trip smooth. We enjoyed the hot tub, even in the summer time. This cabin is close enough to town but far enough away to fill out of the way. We had a great stay here.

Beautiful Home; Gorgeous Views
Home is well-kept and well-apportioned, with everything you need for your stay, including all that you will need for meal prep and cooking. Furnishings are comfortable and the WiFi and Smart TVs were more than enough for those off hours when you get back from sightseeing/shopping. And to walk in to a pet friendly welcome basket (people snacks and doggie snacks) The exterior of the home is just what we look for. A nice, fenced yard for letting pets explore freely, am wonderful 3/4 wraparound with plenty of scenery and safety gates to keep the pets on the porch, a sweet upstairs balcony for long range views, and a very nice hot tub for relaxing those tired bodies from hours of high-altitude souveniring. NOTE: We’ve been to SOOO many rentals with hot tubs where half the jets don’t work or the lights don’t work or something doesn’t work. EVERYTHING WORKS!!! Adding to all of this, the property is located in the enchanting high-desert region of the Lincoln National Forest, with beautiful scenic drives, historic towns like Lincoln (Billy the Kid), and wondrous geological formations like White Sands and the Valley of Fires. Definitely one of our top ten rentals.

Short trip to get away from the heat and get in a couple of training rides on my bicycle in the mountain air. Ruidoso/Alto is always our destination. Very quaint place. Reminded me of my Grandfather’s cabin growing up.

Great Cabin Getaway!
My family thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Alto/Ruidoso. This cabin had a great location - close enough to everything, but tucked away from the road far enough to be quiet. We spent time at Ruidoso Winter Park (a few minutes away) and White Sands (1.5 hours away, but worth the trip). Get to both early to avoid crowds. White Sands is worth a day trip! In our commutes around the neighborhood, we saw wild horses, elk, and many deer. All within blocks of the property! After a fun day, we took full advantage of the hot tub, it was a big hit! Overall great place, we recommend it!
