About this property

Unplug from the city to soak up in nature and experience Casita Mística at El Mistico Ranch which sits at 7,300’ elevated mountain & 30 acres of natural high desert land with natural spring waters, nearby Lincoln National Forest as our next door neighbor, you are actually just a short drive to Capitan for basic services and shopping; Ruidoso for arts, golf, dining, skiing, and more. The climate is mild here and the property is vegetated with pinon pine, juniper, and a variety of cacti.

This beautifully decorated cottage rental is perfect for up to eight guests to enjoy glamping in New Mexico! Two bedrooms contain a queen-size bed each, while the third bedroom is furnished with two queen-size beds. Each bedroom is uniquely furnished to help guests relax. There are two bathrooms in the rental, and all linens, bedding, and towels are provided by the hosts for guests' comfort and convenience.

The beautiful living areas in this New Mexico vacation rental are perfect for the whole family to relax. The comfortable couches face a rustic fireplace which will keep guests warm in the cooler months. The kitchen is fully furnished with all necessary amenities and utensils for guests to whip up delicious meals to enjoy together. There is the additional luxury of laundry facilities in the rental, which is sure to make guests feel at home.

Outside, glampers can relax in the garden while admiring the stunning views that surround this New Mexico glamping accommodation.

We're delighted to introduce you to Chester, our friendly Saint Bernard. At just a year old, Chester is a gentle giant with a heart of gold, spreading joy to all who visit.

Chester not only brings warmth and joy to our guests but also plays an important role in taking care of the property. He roams around the ranch, ensuring that everything is in order and providing a sense of security to our guests. Sometimes, he even accompanies guests to their units to ensure they arrive safely.

If you have any concerns about Chester before arriving or during your stay, please let us know.

Wonderful Stay for Christmas!

Our experience at Casita Mistica during Christmas 2023 was truly delightful! The cottage was just like the charming photos. What we loved: - super easy check in/check out - the cottage was extremely clean upon arrival - the decorated Christmas tree was a lovely surprise - plenty of pellets for the pellet stove to keep us warm during our rental period - property was impressive - including the gated security - the cottage and property exuded 100% New Mexican charm - all linens, towels etc were of high quality and comfortable - the outside space was amazing, fenced in backyard was perfect for our pup - washer and dryer in the cottage - walking trails are amazing! - high quality soap/shampoo/conditioners provided Things we'd have loved to have, but also knew were not included when booking: - dishwasher - more updated cooking pots/pans - king bed in master - deadbolt lock that didn't have key access for extra security for guests We would book again in a heartbeat! Such a charming and clean property.

Too Rustic for Price

My husband, daughter and I were welcomed by host/property manager and their dog, Chester. There was a nice Christmas tree as we walked in and the house had nice decor. The WiFi was out for 2 of the 4 days we were there, but host/property manager explained that someone was coming to fix it and they did. After looking closer, there were quite a few damaged/not working household items, such as one of the shower heads in master bath (we ended up having to share our daughter’s bathroom because of that), hot and cold water in master bath sink were on the wrong side, couple of broken windows and then a few other non-essential items. We didn’t think much of it. Thought that it was part of the rustic charm until we were making the long drive home and Pedro (host/property manager) sends us a bill for $250 for a hole in a painting that we did not put there. Saw the hole, but dismissed it as though it was just part of the charm. I wrote him and told him that we did not damage the painting and then felt it necessary to list all the other items that we noticed were damaged so that we wouldn’t be accused of anything hence forth. He never responded to me after that, so I ended up calling VRBO parent company explaining the situation and it was resolved quickly without having to pay $250. We were a bit disappointed with this experience especially after reading all the other great reviews. We tried not to let it ruin our trip, but it definitely left a sour taste.

Lovely casita in a unique nature area

A charming New Mexican casita with a lovely fenced yard for outdoor fun, with hammocks and games. Comfortable, spacious bedrooms. The kitchen is large and the dining table can accommodate 8 people comfortably. The nature trail at El Mistico Ranch is fun and interesting and right outside the casita.
