Deer Lover's Paradise
Enjoy our peaceful retreat in the woods. Sit on the wrap around deck and feed the dozens of deer. Or just enjoy our stunning views. Relax in the hot tub after a day on the slopes. We have a little of everything....privacy but still just a mile from the ski area road and just 5 minutes to the heart of downtown. 15 minutes to Ruidoso Downs.

So Cozy
Had the best time at this property. Host is fantastic and easy to communicate with. Attention to detail throughout the home makes your stay so effortless. Excellent location, easy to visit ski area and go into town when needed. Elk and deer frequented the premises. Hot tub at night under the stars is magical. Lovely home, hope to visit again.

Our stay was wonderful and the property was even nicer than than the pictures indicated!
Had a once in a lifetime experience feeding wild horses and deer off the back deck! The house has great views and is warm and inviting - such a great feel - We didn’t want to leave!

Beautiful home
My husband and I personally believe that this house is way more beautiful then the pictures. It was very clean, well stocked and so comfortable. We loved sitting in the living room looking out the window watching the deer. We were also lucky enough to see the wild horses (2 days in a row) directly off the back porch and in front of the house. It was amazing to sit in the living room and watch them. Stacy is the best and very friendly. She was quick to respond to all my questions. You wont regret staying here and we will definitely be booking this house again.

Lovely home, perfect Ski Apache location!
Wow! I remember as a kid staying in the town of Ruidoso and how long it took getting to and up to the ski area. This home in Alto is about as close as you’re gonna get to Ski Apache. What a wonderful location! The home was very well kept with everything we needed to be comfortable. Every detail was thought of. Truly a 5- star experience!

A Magical and Thoughtful Home
I stayed at this home with my partner and two younger children. There was so much and more for the kids to enjoy and do, as well as for me and my partner. We really loved and appreciated all the extra thoughtful touches that were found throughout the home. It was definitely above and beyond what we expected, and we were already looking forward to this mini vacation. The space was the perfect size for our family of 4 to have enough room to move around and be close, without feeling cramped. We would definitely stay here again!

Great weekend getaway
My wife and I and our 2 dogs stayed here for a quick weekend getaway. This place was fully stocked with everything we could have needed, the house was tidy and clean, and exactly what we were looking for. The plus was the gas fireplace and hot tub that we used after our Saturday hike! Highly recommend and will be staying here again!

Great spot to see deer
We had a party of 8, so everyone was accommodated except for two, for sleeping in the living room. But the appliances and the linen and everything were great.
