About this property

'Red House' Alhambra with hot tub!

Alhambra: Red House Retreat

Welcome to Alhambra, affectionately known as the "Red House," where you can relax and rejuvenate amid the tall pines and refreshing breezes of Ruidoso. Unwind year-round in the private hot tub, soaking in the peacefulness of the wooded Upper Canyon. This stunning 2-level, 1900 sq. ft. cabin offers both comfort and luxury with open and covered decks, perfect for grilling meals on the propane grill (propane is provided) while savoring the mountain air.

Inside, the main level features a restful master bedroom with a king-sized bed and a private bath with a tub/shower combination—everything you need for ultimate comfort without leaving your room. Upstairs, your guests can enjoy two cozy bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with two queen beds, ensuring everyone sleeps in style.

The spacious living room boasts an open floor plan, ideal for gathering around the gas fireplace for a family game night or simply relaxing. Need extra space? There's a queen-sized sleeper sofa for added comfort. Sneak away to the loft area to catch up on a good book while enjoying breathtaking mountain views.

With just two steps leading onto the large front deck from the paved parking area, Alhambra offers both accessibility and comfort. Plus, central heating and air conditioning ensure your stay is perfect year-round. Reserve your spot today and experience the charm of the BIG RED HOUSE: Alhambra!

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!

Nice place to stay!

I loved staying in this cabin, I will definitely come back. It is in an excellent location, a very quiet area, you can really rest and it is very comfortable for family time. Maybe it need to update some things in the kitchen and entertainment area, but even so, it was magical to stay here. Excellent attention from the manager. I really liked the cabin and the place where it is located.

Not bad - needs some updates/cleaning

The house overall is pretty nice and there is lots of wildlife, but most of the furniture and beds are outdated, and many of the amenities did not function properly. The place definitely needs a deep clean. The windows were so dirty you could not see the beautiful mountain views without going outside. Blinds and fans were very dusty, fireplace did not operate properly, hot tub blower did not work, and taking out the trash is a large endeavor. Needs an update and deep cleaning to demand the price that is being asked.

Weekend get away

It is a nice house but really could use some updating. One of the reasons we chose this house over others was the size and also the hot tub, but we did not trust getting in and out of the hot tub due to the steps being broken and the stability of the porch it sat on not looking secure. We did enjoy the fireplace and the scenery. Again, updates throughout and some repairs would make this an amazing home.

Relatively happy

Nice place and great location. Dishes are nasty and old and unsafe. Need to be replaced. Downstairs toilet barely flushed and upstairs toilet never did. Great bones but terrible upkeep. Even the cover to the hot tub is completely crumbling. I think it's a great house but a small amount of reconditioning would go a long way.

Week in Ruidoso

The property is in a nice quiet area, deer and horses visit often…the house needs some exterior cleaning but is very good location for easy access to Ruidoso or surrounding area. I would suggest replacing carpet and some touch ups on the interior. We enjoyed our stay!

You will really enjoy this cabin, sitting on the porch with coffee watching the humming birds and listening to the trees in the wind. We had a great time it’s quiet but also very close to great places to eat and downtown shopping.
