Each bedroom is equipped with a King bed and a tv for late night movie watching, or snuggle up on the queen sleeper sofa in the sun room and watch the snow fall. Nestle in front of the natural gas fireplace sipping some hot cocoa, or chill out on the front deck with your morning cup of joe. The Grand Master suite is the perfect place to hideaway, with sitting room if you want to curl up with a good book, or even a large jacuzzi tub to relax in. This Master suite also has its own back deck access if you want to peak out at night and do some stargazing. There are two additional bedrooms, both with King beds, that offer cozy places to sleep, or window benches to sit and watch the wildlife. The kitchen is fully equipped with oven and stove top, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, microwave and keurig to ensure your guests are well fed. Grill out on the large covered deck, and maybe even enjoy dinner outside at one of the patio tables. After dinner, kick back in the hot tub. Not quite tired from the day’s activities? Catch a round of air hockey or foosball, giant checkers, ping pong, board games and more! The fenced in yard is perfect for your furry friends. Wide doorways, step free entry, and a roll in shower make this a wheelchair friendly home. This home has everything you need except food and good company. Only about 5 minutes to Midtown where you will find some of the best little boutique shopping and a few of our best bites to eat. If you prefer to spend your time exploring, there are hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails all around. During ski season, about a 15 minute drive will get you to the bottom of Ski Run Rd. Once there, it is a 12 mile trek up to Ski Apache. The views from the top are absolutely breathtaking. If you are not the skiing or snowboarding type, the zipline is another great option. In under 10 minutes you could be trying your luck at the casino at Inn of the Mountain Gods, or just stop by to see the entertainment options for that night. There are plenty of golfing options if you\`ve got a great swing, or take the kiddos down to FunTrackers or to our new Adventure Mountain Family fun center. Whatever your flavor, Ruidoso has something to offer you. Our office is open Monday- Friday 8am-5pm at 220 Lookout Drive Ruidoso, NM 88345.
