Petite Retreat: Big Charm, Small Price!
Why break the bank when you can have the full mountain experience at Petite Retreat? This charming and affordable cabin gives you everything you need for a cozy getaway, nestled right in the heart of Ruidoso's beautiful pine-covered landscape. With 950 sq. ft. of rustic charm, this 2-bedroom cabin is perfect for a quick escape to unwind and reconnect with nature.
Step into the inviting living area, where cathedral ceilings and a warm wood-burning fireplace (firewood is NOT provided) create the ideal space for relaxation. The fully equipped kitchen, complete with a built-in island, makes it easy to prepare a meal while still enjoying the company of friends or family. Step outside to the back deck, fire up the grill, and let the fresh mountain air and whispering pines complete your evening.
Petite Retreat is all about comfort and convenience, offering easy one-step entry, new upgrades like Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV in the bedroom, a comfy new couch in the living room, and a brand-new stove in the kitchen. Whether you're here for a weekend refresh or a longer stay, this cabin is a true Ruidoso gem that delivers big value for a small price.
Come relax and recharge at Petite Retreat, your cozy and affordable mountain escape!
Please Note: This property DOES NOT have AC.
Petite Retreat is located around the corner from Bluebird View, Hidden Treasure, and Lone Pine.
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!
