Spectacular panoramic mtn views from this majestic 3 acre luxury chalet retreat

Impressive 3 story, 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom boasts stunning views from across the 2,900 sq ft air conditioned home just outside of Ruidoso, NM. Over 3 acres of mountainous property provide privacy and ample space for hiking, biking and walking. Electric Vehicle charging station is provided. Enjoy breathtaking scenes from the large hardwood deck and private master bedroom patio. Stone fire pit and recreation area with comfortable seats, oversized outdoor Jenga blocks, footballs, frisbees and games provide hours of relaxation under the tall pines with a backdrop of the Sierra Blanca mountains and Ski Apache. Inside there is immaculate attention to detail with hickory wood floors, vaulted alder ceilings, framed windows, granite counters, custom cabinets and inspiring massive view windows. A large loft on the 3rd floor and an extra den in the lower level provide abundant space for large families with children or a friends & family mountain getaway. Two large 55 inch LED flat screens with premium satellite channels, DVD players and wifi internet access provide indoor entertainment. Poker chips, cards, puzzles, Lincoln Logs, frisbees & footballs. A moderately steep, very long and winding driveway provide endless smiles in the snow using the provided saucers and sleighs. A Weber stainless steel propane grill on the main deck is ready to use while absorbing the superior sights. Once you arrive, you will find little reason to leave this mountain retreat. Located in Alto, NM, this deluxe paradise is 20 minutes from downtown Ruidoso and 10 minutes from either ski apache or the spencer theatre.

Excellent place to stay
This is a terrific place - everything is exactly as advertised and the pictures don't do it justice. The view is spectacular and the sunsets were amazing. The cabin itself is very nice and clean. Lots of room for everyone. Donald was was a great communicator and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this property.

Beautiful getaway for the New Year
The home is beautiful and was a great family getaway. The views are fantastic, the neighborhood is quiet, and the home is not too far from downtown Ruiodoso. The owner always kept in touch to make sure our stay was perfect and even sent weather updates when a snow storm was coming. We will definitely visit again.

AMAZING!! We have stayed in several properties in Alto/Ruidoso over the years and this was the absolute best. The views are absolutely stunning! Communication with owner was like no other. I really felt like he cared that we had the best time ever! He even took the time to mail my sons air pods he left behind. House is super clean, well stocked and has a great layout and location!

We had a wonderful stay. The deck is large and the views are spectacular. Loved the open layout of the main floor. Owner was accommodating and responsive. The acreage surrounding the house gives a nice buffer and there are no close neighbors. We would stay there again!

Gorgeous Well Maintained Home.
This is a beautiful home in a beautiful location. The floor plan makes it excellent to meet family or friends and still have individual space. The owner is very helpful and made perfect recommendations for local restaurants and activities. Don't miss the Zip Line at Ski Apache Wind Rider ZipTour.

Great Christmas In New Mexico
Enjoyed a very nice Christmas in New Mexico! The house was wonderful in a gorgeous setting and there was plenty of room for all 9 adults in our family plus our 10 month old granddaughter celebrating her first Christmas! Mr. Munoz was a fantastic host who checked on us periodically to be sure that everything went well on our stay! Would definitely go back!

Perfect getaway, beautiful home with equally beautiful views.
This was perfect from my first conversation with Donald (the owner). He made it all easy and had the fridge stocked with our favorite drink when we arrived. The house was immacuate and had everything we needed and wanted for a wonderful trip. We especially enjoyed the firepit area and the Jenga game. Perfect getaway!!! Ron and Missie Harding, Munday Tx.

Beautiful home and beautiful views
We enjoyed our stay at this mountain top home. With 4 bedrooms there was plenty of room for our group. Evenings on the deck or by the fire pit were exceptional! Another nice feature was having level access to the living area, kitchen , half bath and master suite. We love spending time in Ruidoso/Alto and this home was a home away from home. The owners were very accommodating and easy to work with, thanks Munoz family!

Amazing views, beautiful house and great communication with owner!
The owner checked in on us quite a bit which made us feel very special and welcomed. We were welcomed by 2 chalkboards with Welcoming notes. The views in the mornings of the mountains were breathtaking! The beds were a bit to firm for our liking but other than than that everything was impeccable. The fire pit outside made out evenings very nice and our get together that much better!

Wonderful weekend
We loved our stay at this cabin, it was clean (which is a must for me), location was perfect for a family tired of the city we got what we needed a quiet relaxing weekend. We had no issues what so ever. Property manager reached out to us before arriving making sure we knew everything we needed to know and kept checking on us through out our stay. We had no issues at all cabin is just as pictures show but much better in real life everything was so clean and perfect. Highly recommend this cabin, it’s definitely on top of our list now and can’t wait to go back.

We had an amazing vacation at this lovely home.
Our favorite thing to do was to wake up and have coffee on the deck overlooking the mountains. The wild life was an added bonus to the scenery! We got to see several deer and even a few elk while relaxing outside. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to cook several meals at the house. The house was very clean and comfortable. Donald was very helpful and suggested lots of delicious restaurants and fun activities to do around town. Overall we had a great vacation and definitely will be back!

A Must See and Stay......
Not many words can describe this place but WOW. Beautiful location, home, and area. Plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors and away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Family and friends stayed with plenty of room to stretch out. The pictures really only show a little of what this cabin offers and does not do the place full justice, you must see for yourself. The owner was by far the easiest renter I have ever worked with and made our stay so much easier to enjoy. If I don't end up purchasing a place in Ruidoso/Alto for myself I will definitely be renting this place again.

Beautiful view and home
We loved this Ruidoso mountain home! We went over spring break with our two kids and their grandparents and had a wonderful time. The view from the house is so amazing and everything that we could've needed was there. The house was spacious, comfortable, bright, and had plenty of room for all of us. The kids loved the foosball table and all the games provided. We also loved seeing the elk and deer each morning. We all enjoyed the fire pit and looking at the stars. Donald went above and beyond to make sure we had a great trip by recommending places to eat, things to do, and being available to answer any questions we had. Great location and great view! We hope to be back!

Fabulous, start to finish!
Where it begin?! This beautiful home, set high on a hill with open 180+ degree views to Sierra Blanca from the main living area was perfect for our active multi-generational family of 9, ranging in age from 12-76. Walking in the front door on arrival there was a collective "WOW" as we stood in the great room, taking in views of the mountains as well as our accommodations. The scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is simply spectacular, and the interior is equally impressive: beautifully yet comfortably furnished, and immaculately clean. Wood floors and granite countertops gleamed. The kitchen is so well stocked utensil-wise for cooking, we lacked for nothing. The pantry, amazingly, is equally well stocked--a fact we weren't aware of before making our grocery run. Be sure to check it before you shop! Likewise the bathrooms, from bandaids to shampoo to lotion (much needed in the dry climate) to multiple rolls of toilet paper and plush towels--ours with our initial on them even! (Ha--we share a common surname initial with the owners.) The kids young and old enjoyed the foosball table. There were decks of cards, poker chips, games for the kids and not so young kids. The large flat screen TVs never even got turned on! Though we looked forward to the fire pit and s'mores, it was a bit cold for evening sitting for this group, half of whom had come from FL. Cold didn't hamper the evening star gazing though, with an incredible array of visible stars, and even some shooting stars. Wildlife was plentiful with elk and deer visible daily grazing below us, and shed antlers discovered daily in our hikes from the house. I could go on and on (in fact have), but to sum it up, it was a perfect getaway for our group. As a topper though, one of our group spent his entire career in the hospitality business, and Donald Munoz, the owner, would be tops in that industry. He's friendly, attentive and readily available to answer any questions quickly, as well as offer suggestions on things to do. It's obvious that he genuinely cares about his guests. His written explanations of the operation of everything from fireplace to heating system was spot on and a tremendous help in settling in comfortably. We all awoke the morning after our departure sad not to be in "our" house still, looking out at "our" mountains. It was a terrific week and could not have been a better getaway for our Christmas get-together!

Wow! Stunning and that was just the cabin. The details put into the property was amazing! A cute little welcome sign a small gift for us to take home. The cabin was fully stocked and communication with host was fast and easy! Everything from a welcome text to a less than 5 minute response to my questions. This has by far been the BEST BnB stay ever! Might I add how clean this property was! This coming from a clean freak! The views? Fantastic!

Amazing, Mountain Retreat
After not being able to gather as a family for 18 months due to COVID, we rented this amazing Alto cabin for our family reunion. The property is amazing! The perfect combination of breath taking vistas with first rate accommodations. Additionally, the owner is great. He made sure that we had everything we needed to have a great time at this amazing, mountain retreat. Can't wait until we get to come back!

Comfortable Home to Relax and Explore Ruidoso and Alto
Our family most enjoyed the different outdoor areas at the house to eat, play, swing, read, relax. There was always one of them in the shade which is nice in the summer. The house was very clean and well stocked with nice amenities (soft PB towels, comfortable beds, nice soaps / detergents, etc). The location has wonderful views of the mountains all around, which is why we chose the house.

This spacious house had lots to do inside and outside, and beautiful views for when we just wanted to sit and relax. The kids didn't want to leave! Great location -- pretty isolated with lots of animal sightings, but close enough to other things you could want to do. Donald was a wonderful host.
