About this property

Mountain Home close to Downtown with Stunning Views of Sierra Blanca

Yes, that view is directly off our back deck!! Picture perfect! Our 2-story home has Spectacular Views of Sierra Blanca, all of the luxuries of home, and the casual ambiance of a mountain home. Our home sits at 7200 ft. above sea level overlooking the City of Ruidoso, and a five minute drive to the heart of the town. Our neighborhood is quiet, residential, and beautiful. We recently replaced our back decks, stuccoed the outside, replaced all the beds, and added wood floors!

When you enter the house, you enter a large living room with vaulted ceilings, fireplace, a 60” flat screen TV, and very comfortable couch and club chairs. All of our furniture has down wrapped cushions, and you will love the comfort! There is a wet bar attached to the living room with Riedel and Fusion wine glasses and barware. There is also a very special ½ bath upstairs for your convenience.

The kitchen has granite counter-tops, a Jenn-Air stove, Krups coffeemaker, RO water dispenser, and pots and pans that will make you feel at home. Our plates are porcelain, and there are serving pieces, placemats, and cloth napkins for you to enjoy. We have a gas grill on the top deck—ready for the steaks, or for the fish you brought from home or bought at Albertsons or Mario’s.
The back decks offers drop dead views of Sierra Blanca Mountain. We always say we bought the View, and the house came with it! Our home has been built into the side of the mountain, and sits at 40 feet above the ground (4-5 stories). Each floor has decks spanning the width of the house to enjoy the Mountain views and the wildlife below. There is also a deck on the front of our home because in the evening, the wildlife has a tendency to congregate at the front of the house, and we have been known to feed the deer by hand in the early evening while enjoying a glass of wine with friends.

Downstairs are 3 bedrooms. Two of our bedrooms have king beds, and the other bedroom has 2 twin beds. Each bedroom has beautiful doors opening to a covered deck with those Spectacular Sierra Blanca Views! Each bedroom has its own flat screen television and DVR. We offer Cable television in each room. The twin bedroom has a desk, so if you need to work, there is a place to set up your laptop.
We also provide our guests with free WIFI. You can keep up with all of your emails easily from anywhere in the house or on the decks! All of our beds have Peacock Alley Bedding, and down comforters. Our sheets are all 100% Cotton, very soft, and we offer choices of down or foam pillows on each bed.

There are 2 full baths downstairs with black granite countertops, Kohler tubs, toilets and sinks. The flooring and the backsplash in each tub/shower area is a beautiful stone tile. Ladies, there are more than enough washcloths provided for your stay, and the towels are also Peacock Alley.

So, we hope you will come enjoy your stay with us. We have planned all of the details with you in mind, and we look forward to hosting you!

Good location, beautiful home and views of Sierra Blanca. Beds were comfortable, great kitchen!

The location was good and close to downtown. Home was beautiful and beds were comfortable. Great kitchen where we cooked several nights. The views of Sierra Blanca were gorgeous, though could not sit out during middle of day until sundown because there was too much sun. Overall it was great and would do it all over again!

Mountain Majesty

The hostess, Melinda, was very communicative and helped with everything from directions, to restaurants, and what to do while visiting the area. The place is exactly as described, very clean, all the basics supplied—plus a few nice extras, an incredible view, + comfortable beds. We enjoyed every evening out on the deck which looks out on to a beautiful mountain scape—with wonderfully starry skies. The four of us (2 couples) recommend this home if you are looking for a private mountain getaway near to a cute town with casual restaurants and shopping.

The property was beautiful with amazing views of the snow covered mountains!

We so enjoyed this trip! Casa Charbonnet was like having the coziness of your own home with the addition of snow covered mountains. We enjoyed waking in the morning and drinking coffee in front of the fireplace while taking in the beautiful views of the snow capped mountains! Our boys 6 & 9 couldn't wait to get up every morning and play in the snow and watch the deer below the cabin! We were less than five minutes from downtown Ruidoso as well as winter park. We will certainly be making this at least an annual trip!

Spectacular views! Beautiful home!

We loved our vacation to Ruidoso, and this house was a big part of it. The home was so clean and beautiful. It was stocked with everything for your getaway. The owners left us with a notebook full of great information on Ruidoso. It was so helpful since it was our first trip there. The views were amazing. Every bedroom had a great view, and the decks were an excellent place to take them in. Overall, we absolutely loved our time here, and would definitely go back to this property!

Beautiful, cozy home with a fabulous view.

This home was even more than we expected. Immaculate home with every amenity you could want and a spectacular view of Sierra Blanca. Loved the separation of family room/kitchen on one floor and bedrooms below. Melinda was in constant contact to be sure everything was as expected and provided local contacts should any issue arise. She had a great listing of shopping and restaurants and current brochures for Ruidoso happenings. I hope we have the chance to stay again!

Just perfect!

Like others, we have stayed in various VRBO properties over the years in different locations and different states. This property was exactly what the pics show and probably better. Great neighborhood. Far enough from neighbors to feel secluded. A view that never stops. A welcoming gift upon our arrival. Fully stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds and pillows. AND great communication from the owner. Would we stay again? Absolutely!!!

Home Away from Home

We just returned from our stay and the house was wonderful. It was truly like staying at the home of a friend or family member. Everything you could possibly need is there and that includes a drop dead view from the back porch. We had a party of 5 and the house worked out perfectly, we did dinner at home 3 nights and couldn't have asked for more. Evenings on the back deck watching the sun set, mornings on the front deck watching the local deer. It's minutes to town and the grocery store but you will feel like you are miles away it's so quiet. A definate return and by far the very best part of our visit to Ruidoso. If you are going to Ruidoso this is the place to stay!

Ruidoso stay

The view at this property is INSANE. Pictures do not do it justice at all. The back deck on both levels is so huge and you can just sit there with your coffee and enjoy the view. It is so cozy and welcoming. We loved the fireplace. The host, Melinda, was so helpful if we had any questions. This cabin is a 5 minute drive to Midtown where there is a lot of shopping & restaurants. Fantastic location. We saw so many elk, deer, & wild horses. Truly beautiful and we will definitely be back. Melinda truly put so much thought into what the house was stocked with. Has everything you need to cook. My wife and I will definitely be back!

Wonderful Ruidoso Property

We had a great stay at this property. The home is very nice and just very comfortable, and the view cannot be beat! My first thought when I saw the listing was that they had included a stock photo of Sierra Blanca peak. But no - that is the view you can see from the couch, or the dining room table, or your bed! We enjoyed using the grill and the kitchen had all the utensils I needed. Coffee is a must for us, and we prefer drip coffee to the Keurig style. So we really enjoyed the drip coffee maker. If you are a Keurig person, you might want to bring your own machine. The owner was very nice, and very responsive. We would happily stay at this property again.

Wonderful home and beautiful view

The home was just as described and the view was better than the photos. Our family has a fantastic time and Melinda is a gracious and very communicative host. From the beginning she was available for questions or providing information for us during our stay. The home was clean, beautiful and easy to access for our group. The fireplace was perfect for a relaxing day in and watching the snow outside the windows. We will definitely return.

Most beautiful cabin

This cabin is gorgeous. We have stayed in several cabins over the years and this one is by far the best! The beds are comfortable, and it seems like everything is remodeled with special attention to comfort and luxury. There was absolutely nothing missing that would have made it better, it was just perfect! Melinda is very attentive and hospitable and when you see the cabin you know that she wants her guests to have a good time. It has two balconies, all the rooms have a sliding door to the bottom balcony to the most gorgeous view, and if you think the view can’t get better just go to the main floor where you can enjoy an even better view from anywhere and the balcony on the main floor is spectacular as well. We would love to return, thank you

About the host

Hosted by Melinda Charbonnet

Host profile image
Jim and Melinda are native Texans from the Dallas//Fort Worth Area. We now live full-time on the lake in Granbury. We are CPA's and are partners in the accounting business. Melinda spent 20 years in the Hospitality business, and loves sharing our home. She loves thinking of every detail that will make your trip even more perfect for you, your friends and loved ones.

Why they chose this property

We say we bought the view, and the house came with it. We never get tired of the view of Sierra Blanca, and we love the open concept of the house and the windows and doors. We have remodeled this house with meticulous care. Everything has been thought through and was picked because we loved it. We wanted the house to be a comfortable mountain house, and so every detail into comfort was considered. That is why the furniture has down seating, and the bed has great sheets and pillows. This house is our retreat. We wanted it to be the same for you.

What makes this property unique

The thing I love the most about this house include the great windows upstairs that highlight the treetops of the pines. I love the fireplace; it burns so nicely! We love, love, the views from every room. And, we love how we feel when we are there. It is so peaceful. I love that there are decks on each floor and in the front of the house. So nice to find a place to read. And the bathroom upstairs is a treasure! The handmade tin mirror, the special handmade sink, and the great stippling paint-- I think it is very special. Lastly, the day bed in the Master bedroom is a favorite getaway to read a book or watch a movie for some quiet time.
