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.

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.

Amazing home!

Not often do you find King size beds in every bedroom, and each its own bath. Beautiful home, with such thoughtful details. Kitchen with great detail on your needs. And then there is so much wonderful outside sitting, hot tub and beautiful views. We saw elk, horses, deer, turkey and a fox while sitting on the deck.. Highly recommend this home!

Hospitality shines!

Actual conversation: “So, would you say this is the best place we have ever rented in Ruidoso?” “I would be willing to make that commitment “ We both loved our stay. The cabin was not only beautiful but so easy to settle into (easy to lug luggage into house, easy to find things in the kitchen (everything is labeled!), etc. Jan’s gift of hospitality shines as beautifully as the sunshine through the picture windows that straddle the fireplace. Thanks for sharing this treasure!

Property Owner Was Extremely Helpful

The property is everything it is listed to be. The accommodations were terrific and the views were beautiful. This property is 3 stories with multiple rooms on the top floor. All of the bedrooms were very room and had there own bathrooms. My mother accidentally left her wallet at the residence and I was able to communicate directly with the owner to have her let us back in to get the wallet, several hours after departure. That's top notch customer service!

Hidden camera

Found a hidden camera in the living room which is not allowed at Vrbo properties. Submitted a complaint for invasion of privacy with nothing done by Vrbo or the property so be aware of your kids and personal privacy at this location. Otherwise place was great.

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.
