Deer Meadows: A Mountain Escape with Wildlife Views

Step into Deer Meadows, where the deer roam freely and mountain wildlife becomes part of your everyday scenery. This comfortably casual 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cabin invites you to unwind in a spacious, family-friendly environment designed for relaxation. Walk into the cozy living room, complete with a big-screen TV, ample seating, and a gas fireplace—the perfect spot to gather and settle in after a day of mountain adventures.

The master bedroom offers a king-sized bed, a luxurious ensuite with a walk-in shower, and a large jetted tub to melt away any lingering stress. The guest bedrooms are just as inviting, each featuring queen-sized beds for extra accommodations. Gather with the whole group around the dining table or at the bar in the fully equipped kitchen, where cooking and catching up go hand in hand. The cabin also includes a washer and dryer in the laundry room for your convenience.

Head out to the back deck, where a new private hot tub awaits—ideal for soaking under the stars as you take in the mountain air. With central heat and air conditioning, Deer Meadows is prepared for every season. Embrace the peace, connect with nature, and experience the serenity of this mountain escape.

Deer Meadows is located next door to Nell's Getaway for larger group accommodations.

Ruidoso, Alto, and surrounding areas: Submerse yourself within the towering pines of Lincoln County and watch local wildlife such as elk, deer, wild horses, turkey, birds, and more in their natural habitats. Plan a day basking in the stillness of our national forest while hiking, biking, or fishing, golfing at one of our multiple golf courses or spend a fun night out on the town at one of the area's local attractions! Be sure to swim or fish at the beautiful Grindstone or Alto Lake, delight your senses at Winter Park with roller coaster and tubing, and explore the ski slopes and hiking trails throughout Ski Apache. Win big at one of our three local casinos and enjoy the excitement of live quarter horse racing at Ruidoso Downs Racetrack. Be happy you took a respite from the concrete jungle. Come relax and refresh with us!

Great for family holiday vacation

We had a wonderful week-long stay at this beautiful cabin in Alto, NM, over Thanksgiving. The house itself is stunning, nestled in a friendly neighborhood with easy access to Ruidoso and the surrounding attractions. We enjoyed exploring the nearby lakes, trails, and shopping venues, which made our stay even more enjoyable. However, we were a bit disappointed with the understocking of necessities like toilet paper, dishwashing and clothes washing pods, and paper towels. Thankfully, the proximity to local stores made it easy to pick up what we needed. Management was very helpful prior to arrival. The only issue we had was we tried to reach out to the management about getting more of these supplies but did not hear back. Understandable though, being it was the day before Thanksgiving. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend this cabin for its location and charm. We will certainly consider staying here again.

Great fun for the family!

We truly enjoyed this home away from home! Once maintenance popped the lock for the hot tub (combo didn't work), we climbed right in. It was a beautiful location and all the wildlife wow'd us everyday! We will be back! Thank you for the experience!

Mr Holt

The house was not cleaned when we got there at checkin time very dirty. They finally did a 30 minute clean and we got in and the house was extremely dirty, dust everywhere cob webs all in the celling and other places, pubic hairs in the bathtub and shower it looked like the house had not been deep cleaned in a very long time and property management took 4 days to finally get back with us and still did nothing. I wander if the property owner has any idea how dirty there house was and property management not doing there job keeping it clean.

We could not have had a better time! Every day we had close to 20 deer at a time at the back porch. We also had wild horses and a huge elk visit us. It was just an incredibly nice place to stay! We will definitely book there again!

Limited closet space in 2 bedrooms, no closet space for master bedroom. The other 2 bedrooms closets both have large furniture in them. The wildlife is great and we enjoyed the back deck most evenings as it faced the East with nice views! It is on a dirt road, also not disclosed.
