About this property

Our rustic farmy little casita (approx. 180 sq. ft) boasts a custom build interior with brand new everything inside. Super cozy and comfy! Fairly forewarned, the shower is small. It is tiled, has a rain-head and on demand hot water but it is small. Most guests love the property so much they don’t mind.

We are located on 18 acres with horses and hiking trails, it’s perfect for quiet getaways, travelers passing through, artistic exhale and of course tourists wanting to take in the many attractions nearby. An awesome place for a recharge! We enjoy offering a variety of meal options as well as on the ground horse experiences tailored to your abilities and desire.
The casita is stocked with complimentary coffee, tea, hot chocolate and drinks. We are within ½ hour from Ruidoso’s many attractions, Old Lincoln’s historic sites, beautiful hiking spots or simply stay on property to revive and restore.

Home away from home

Great place, Melissa is a wonderful host. Beautiful scenery, and meeting the horse, dogs and Melli on the property were highlights. The casita is perfect, and really feels like a home away from home. I enjoyed my stay here and will be coming back.

New Mexico Getaway

This place is exactly what I was looking for, peace and quiet surrounded by beautiful country. The host is very friendly, polite and accommodating. The casita is clean and well put together. The night sky is incredible! Perfect place to unplug and explore the Lincoln National Forest. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Vashe

I enjoy living in the gorgeous Hondo Valley, it's expansive beauty never ceases to captivate me. Utilizing my vast experience in boutique hotel management and restaurant management, hosting guests and events here at the ranch is such a pleasure! I am an equine coach, facilitating communication and energy between people and horses to help discover what a horse has to teach you about yourself. It’s experiential learning and it’s fun! I absolutely love offering a selection of equine experiences geared for each specific guest. Utilizing my background in culinary arts and cooking meals or preparing picnics for guests is also such a joy! I I am incredibly grateful.

Why they chose this property

The casita is a versatile place to stay! Enjoy all of the modern amenities while being in the natural beauty of the country. It offers close proximity to Ruidoso attractions, shopping and antiquing and to Old Lincoln's historic sites. Nearby are many incredible opportunities in nature as well as hiking, fishing and horseback riding areas.
Spend a day in town and come back to a beautiful quiet hideout. Some guests choose not to leave the property at all and settle into good books, visits with the horses and hikes out back. For travelers passing through, the property is gated and very safe. Enjoy restful overnight from driving and safe place to park your belongings.

What makes this property unique

Besides rugged beauty, natural surroundings and a completely brand new interior in the casita, this property has a few distinct benefits:

Onsite meal options cooked here by me! We offer continental breakfast, picnic lunches, dinner or a snack menu. Meals are dropped at your door at pre arranged times.

Easy Hiking Trails out your back door. Perfect for light exercise and fresh air.

Horses: Being near to these amazing creatures adds to a calm yet playful atmosphere.

Horse Experiences: On the ground horse experience tailored to you. Play at liberty in the round pen, basic horsemanship, connection and energy, or perhaps you'd like to have time to groom and sit in the pasture with the herd.

Equine Coaching Sessions: In coaching a session I assume you are creative, resourceful and whole, that you want to move forward with the things that excite you and that have heart and meaning. I invite you to clarify your vision, rebuild self-confidence and create joy in your life through guided interactive and self reflective interaction with our horses.
