About this property

"Mountain Escape," Our cozy mountain home, Quiet Neighborhood

4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, deck, screened in porch, garage
Come ready to breath in the fresh mountain air and relax in this great mountain home. We named it "Mountain Escape" because it is our place to escape.
The back wall of windows in the living room looks out to a great view. Stepping out on the deck you are in the tops of the trees. There is a hot tub/ spa for relaxing on the deck. Each bedroom has a King bed and en suite bathroom. The basement bedroom has a bunkbed as well as King bed and bathroom. Also, there are 2 portable cribs (bring your own sheet for portable cribs) and a high chair.

Jan always responded in a timely manner whenever I needed to contact her. The house is in a beautiful area in Alto, NM and is supplied with everything you could need for an AMAZING weekend. Four bedrooms with kingsized beds and your own bathroom in each was great for us! My family is already trying to figure out another time to come back.

Everything you need

This was the best stocked vacation home we have ever stayed in. It had everything we needed and more. Location was perfect. We loved seeing the wildlife ( deer, elk and turkeys) in the neighborhood. Everyone had their own space including bathrooms. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful & clean

The location is close to town and in a very nice neighborhood. We've enjoyed the wildlife viewing which includes elk, wild horses, turkey, and deer. The neighborhood is quiet and the home backs up to trees which gives a feeling of total seclusion for great relaxation. The interior of the home is beautiful and clean. We enjoyed each room having it's own bathroom and the kitchen being fully stocked.

Mountain Escape

My family and I make it a point to travel to Ruidoso/Alto area at least 1x a year and like to rent different cabins each time. This time we brought additional family members who have never been to the area. This by far has been our favorite home we have had the pleasure of staying in. The scenery was amazing and the home had everything we needed to make our trip enjoyable. The family was amazed at the space and comfort this home had to offer. We will be staying here again!

Fun Weekend Getaway

This is the perfect stay for people who want to be close enough to town for a trip to the shops but far away enough to enjoy quiet nights staring at the stars. Perfect size for our group of friends with room to spare.
