About this property
Wild Horse Haven | Mountain Views, Pet-Friendly
Welcome to Wild Horse Haven, a stunning three-story cabin nestled in the pines of Alto, New Mexico, offering breathtaking Capitan Mountain views. This charming three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath retreat comfortably hosts six guests and is pet-friendly, providing a perfect blend of spacious relaxation and forest seclusion.
Step into the main living area, where a large sectional sofa, cozy fireplace, and big-screen TV create the perfect spot to unwind. The full kitchen and dining table make shared meals effortless. Outside, the second-story covered deck invites you to dine, relax, and fire up the gas grill while soaking in the peaceful surroundings. Wildlife abounds—deer, elk, turkeys, and even wild horses roam the area, adding to the magic of this serene escape.
The sleeping and leisure spaces are thoughtfully arranged across the cabin's three levels. The first floor hosts the primary bedroom (king-size bed and TV) and a second guest room. The loft-style third bedroom offers flexible sleeping arrangements, a private balcony, and a half-bathroom. A dedicated ground-floor den with a workstation makes remote work a breeze. This delightful layout ensures intimate nooks and spacious relaxation zones for all guests.
The surrounding area of Alto hosts a bounty of activities for all tastes. Golfers can hit the links at a local course, fishing enthusiasts can cast their reels, and adventurers can take a canoeing or kayaking tour. You can visit the local horse race track for excitement, or experience the region's cuisine at nearby restaurants. Winter brings its own charm with opportunities for snow skiing and exploring Ruidoso's lively Midtown, just minutes away.
Wild Horse Haven sets a high standard in holiday accommodation, merging nature with luxury. Book your stay at Wild Horse Haven today, and experience the beauty of Alto, New Mexico!
Ruidoso is a mountain town and during the winter months you may need 4x4 or chains on a two-wheel drive vehicle. Please Note: A pet fee of $100 applies for each pet.

Our stay at Wildhorse
The cabin was located in a very hilly area. Luckily we had a four wheel vehicle! Driving up into the driveway was tough and we had to avoid sharp rocks. They have parking in front of garage also, which is better. Cabin was comfortable, beds were great! We really enjoyed the porch and the seclusion.
