Why the Owner Chose Ruidoso

Never thought I would buy property unexpectedly, that was until I found this diamond in the rough. Skiing in the winter, horse racing in the summer, along with golf, hiking, fishing, mountain biking - and casinos and shopping year round... and museums, performing arts theatres, etc. And it's close enough to drive from Texas - so... yeah :)

The Unique Benefits at this Condo

Honestly, it just seems to be the perfect place. It's located in the middle of town right off Mechem. Popular restaurants and hangouts are right next door. Mid-town is within walking distance as well. The view of the Sacramentos is incredible and deer come down next to the condo and relax in the shade several times a week.

Owner's Map of Ruidoso

My name is Jeff. This is my wife Robin and myself halfway up Sierra Blanca mountain January of 2009. It was our first trip to Ruidoso and we had a blast - so much so that we came back with a condo :) We both teach and coach, and live in Flower Mound, Texas

Date of Stay: 08/18/11 Review Submitted: 08/24/11

We were pleasantly surprised at the interior of this property. When we drove up it wasn't very impressive, but when we got inside we were so pleased. The location is perfect for anything in the Ruidoso area. The pictures were exactly how the property looked. Everything was so clean and fresh. There was even a computer so we could get any info that we needed. The location is perfect and the owners have thought of so many things to make a vacation more pleasant. The beds were very comfortable and the TV's were amazing. One night the lightbulb was burned out on the front porch. I emailed Jeff and he had it replaced before we got back from the races. Amazing!!!! We came from Texas to get out of the heat, but we really enjoyed the racetrack. We would suggest that you make reservations at the Jockey Club. The view from the 3rd level is so good and the valet parking is the only way to go. We also went to the Inn of the Mountain Gods. It has been rennovated and the Casino is really nice. There is a really neat guide in the condo that the owners have put together that is really helpful.....try the barbeque place across the street....delicious! We will stay here again. Thanks.....

Thanks so much for the helpful information that you guys provided prior to our arrival and at the condo. Despite the wind gusts and blowing sand (just what we thought we had left behind in Seminole) we enjoyed ourselves. We have one more game this afternoon. :) Our stay was comfortable with the washer/dryer and short walk to the grocery store for forgotten necessities.

Nice centrally located refuge

Guest: Andrew (Austin, TX)
Date of Stay: 03/12/11 Review Submitted: 03/18/11

At the last minute, we decided to Ruidoso for Spring Break 2011 and were pleased to find a place this nice at the published rate. The condo is walking distance from downtown (.9 miles to Cafe Rio for example) and just down the hill from Casa Blanca restaurant, so the location is great. Although the complex itself is a little dated, this unit is nicely updated inside with fresh paint, cabinets, etc. and nice quality of life elements (wi-fi, two nice tv's, working appliances [oven/stove, fridge, dishwasher, disposal, etc.], board games & DVD's for sharing, etc.) Right on the main road, the traffic noise occasionally intrudes, but goes unnoticed after the first few hours. Jeff was very responsive during the registration process and our stay, working to help us resolve issues that would crop up in any rental. The restaurant gift certificate and "what to do in Ruidoso" binder were nice touches as well. The overall experience was very pleasant and this unit qualifies for genuine "diamond in the rough" status. We'd rent here again.

Summer Get Away

Guest: Mike (Dallas/Fort Worth)

Everything was exactly as promised. Brand new through and through. We had a good time mountain biking shopping and dining at Landlocked. Our family of five (youngest is 14) had plenty of room to stretch out and relax. It was a great escape from the Texas heat. We really enjoyed our stay!

Comfortable Condo with Easy Access to Restaurants, Shops

Guest: Teresa (Austin, TX )
Date of Stay: 07/02/10 Review Submitted: 07/22/10

We stayed at Robin and Jeff's condo over the 4th of July weekend. The owner's are easy to work with and provided plenty of great information on things to do and places to eat. They had a notebook complete with information on restaurants, hiking trails, horse racing, and lots of other activities. The condo suited us perfectly while traveling with 2 children (ages 6 & 8) and a Grandmother. We had such a great time in Ruidoso that we hope to be back soon.

Great vacation condo

Guest: Suzi (Clovis, NM)
Date of Stay: 05/28/10 Review Submitted: 06/30/10

My family and I stayed at the Lodge at Lookout Manor over Memorial Day weekend. It is in a great location for access to several restaurants and shops. It was an easy 10 minute walk to the mid-town area, which is full of cute shops and restaurants. Our favorite meal was at Casa Blanca, just a 5 minute walk from the condo. The condo was well equipped with 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths, as well as a full laundry. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a meal. There is also a great selection of board games and movies and video games. The condo is directly on Mechem Drive, which makes it easy to get to good hiking and picnic areas just north of the main town. We look forward to our next trip to Ruidoso. Thanks, Jeff and Robin!

this was out first visit to Ruidoso from 12/27/09 to 1/2/10; 2 adults and 3 boys. We always rent from VRBO for past few years for our 2-3/yr vacations. We were very pleased with this condo. The whole renting process was very smooth. Condo is centrally located and easy to find. Very spacious and had everything we needed. Kids loved playstation. I cooked breakfast and simple dinners effortlessly. We loved it. We will be back there if in Ruidoso. Thanks
