About this property

Deer Lover's Paradise

Enjoy our peaceful retreat in the woods. Sit on the wrap around deck and feed the dozens of deer. Or just enjoy our stunning views. Relax in the hot tub after a day on the slopes. We have a little of everything....privacy but still just a mile from the ski area road and just 5 minutes to the heart of downtown. 15 minutes to Ruidoso Downs.

So Cozy
Had the best time at this property. Host is fantastic and easy to communicate with. Attention to detail throughout the home makes your stay so effortless. Excellent location, easy to visit ski area and go into town when needed. Elk and deer frequented the premises. Hot tub at night under the stars is magical. Lovely home, hope to visit again.

Didn’t want to leave!
Our stay was wonderful and the property was even nicer than than the pictures indicated! Had a once in a lifetime experience feeding wild horses and deer off the back deck! The house has great views and is warm and inviting - such a great feel - We didn’t want to leave!

Beautiful home
My husband and I personally believe that this house is way more beautiful then the pictures. It was very clean, well stocked and so comfortable. We loved sitting in the living room looking out the window watching the deer. We were also lucky enough to see the wild horses (2 days in a row) directly off the back porch and in front of the house. It was amazing to sit in the living room and watch them. Stacy is the best and very friendly. She was quick to respond to all my questions. You wont regret staying here and we will definitely be booking this house again.

My parents built this cabin when I was a child. We were stationed in Alamogordo and would spend every weekend in Ruidoso. This has been our family cabin for the past 40 years. My family and I continue to love our cabin and Ruidoso. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

This property has it all! Located in the lovely Sun Valley neighborhood...you couldn't get much better than this. We have a beautifully wooded lot with incredible views. Quiet and yet everything is just 5 to 10 minutes away.

What makes this property unique

Brand new hot tub that seats 7! Just sit in the tub and watch the deer right in front of you.
