Take in all the splendor nature has to offer or spend some time shopping in the many shops Ruidoso offers. Stroll through midtown, stop and enjoy a glass of wine. There are many restaurants in Ruidoso from Mexican food, to burgers, steaks, soups, and delicious desserts! Want more entertainment.....Ruidoso offers horse racing. Memorial Day thru Labor Day and for CHRISTMAS WE PUT UP A CHRISTMAS There are 3 casinos nearby....the Inn of the Mountain Gods offers Las Vegas style gambling and breathtaking views that overlook the lake!

Higher rates include New Years, Christmas season, Spring Break, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving & Memorial Day. Although holiday rates are increased, we do not try to capitalize on holidays by raising excessively. Not all holiday rates are the same either.

We work diligently to keep our properties in tip top shape, just as we want them when we stay there. Thank you always for your interest & consideration! Blessings!!

Cozy little house in a good location

Nice place for a get-away with your family or small group. Great outdoor space/deck with nice, clean hottub. Plenty of pots/pans and dishes/utensils for cooking etc. Location is near reataurants and shopping, while still having wildlife (deer&elk) pass thru daily. Owner/manager responds quickly to questions/concerns.

Wonderful property

We had the best time. The views were beautiful, the house was perfect for us, and the amenities were wonderful. We spent every morning on the top deck having coffee and every evening on the bottom deck in the hot tub. Check in and out process was easy and the hosts include a welcome packet with instructions for check out and local things to do. We hope to be back soon

Fall get away !

My husband and our dog Brady and I needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of a hectic time in our lives . We stayed at this adorable cottage, so clean and lovely decorations ( very cozy ) ! We loved the outside decks and watching the elk and deer gathering and grazing outside and watching the raven birds gliding through the sky ! Great location, minutes away from grocery store and restaurants and close to many great outdoor activities. For us this was a great get away !
