About this property

A Great Mountain Pleasure: 'Come and relax to the max' w/ level entry and Pet Friendly!

"Come and Relax to the MAX!" with a comfortable stay at A Great Mountain Pleasure. Are you looking for a quiet, single level retreat in the majestic mountains of Lincoln County while still being close to skiing, golf, and entertainment? A Great Mountain Pleasure is the perfect home which boasts an amazingly large, open and airy floor plan, spacious upgraded kitchen with a center island perfect for prepping all your favorite meals, hardwood floors, gorgeous vaulted ceilings in the living room, and a wrap around newly expanded deck where you can sit and soak in all that mountain life has to offer or grill up a meal while watching the wildlife roam. Hence the name! This isn't all that awaits you at this lovely home. Relax in front of the gas log fireplace in the living room with a good book or have family game nights at the large dining room table. The incredibly large master bedroom has access to the wrap around deck and has an en-suite master bathroom with a huge walk in shower! The other two bedrooms are comfortable and spacious; perfect for resting after a long day! The most unique guest bedroom is the bedroom with red walls. There's nothing like it! AGMP comes complete with full sized washer and dryer. Entry into this home has no steps! A Great Mountain Pleasure is the perfect home away from home which also encourages you to have the vacation of your dreams. Be sure to bring your fur babies as this cabin is dog friendly!

Ruidoso, Alto, and surrounding areas: Submerse yourself within the towering pines of Lincoln County and watch local wildlife such as elk, deer, wild horses, turkey, birds, and more in their natural habitats. Plan a day basking in the stillness of our national forest while hiking, biking, or fishing, golfing at one of our multiple golf courses or spend a fun night out on the town at one of the area's local attractions! Be sure to swim or fish at the beautiful Grindstone or Alto Lake, delight your senses at Winter Park with roller coaster and tubing, and explore the ski slopes and hiking trails throughout Ski Apache. Win big at one of our three local casinos and enjoy the excitement of live quarter horse racing at Ruidoso Downs Racetrack. Be happy you took a respite from the concrete jungle. Come relax and refresh with us!

Mountain getaway
We enjoyed this home. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and dining. Great laundry room. The only issue had was pet stains in all 3 bedrooms. However I did document with the management company and they had carpet cleaning scheduled in the near future.

TLC needed
The house is cute and has great patios. The amenities in the Kitchen are awesome. The neighborhood is great for taking walks and the neighbors are very nice. The beds are average for comfort. The noise from the busy road, just a few feet from the bedroom window, made it hard to sleep. The carpet should be replaced, there is mold in the guest toilet, the garage door was damage so we parked in the driveway. The lights for the driveway worked intermittently and its several feet away from the entrance, we had to use flash lights to see, it was very inconvenient to carry our belongings in.With a little TLC this would be agreat place.

Vacation in July
The weather was great. It was nice to be able to sit on the covered porch while it rained. The cabin is on a semi busy road so you had road noise while sitting outside but wasn't bad on the inside. Overall it was a nice place to stay.

Overall pretty nice but a few downfalls.
This home was very spacious, and was a quiet location, but had a few down falls, there wasn’t any hand soap in the bathrooms, and the hot tub was dirty, and smelt very bad, also for there being a nation wide pandemic with such a deadly virus, nothing seemed to be disinfected or sanitized. Also found ants in the master! Also received some bug bites, not sure if they were bed bugs or what but very uncomfortable!

Great experience and lovely home
This was our first time renting and staying at the property. Home was beautiful and location was perfect to the town. I love the ambience and the feeling of being home even though it wasn’t ours! There were a few dust bunnies under beds that we cleaned but other than that it was great and we’ll be returning!

Cleanliness lacking!!
Overall I would say the property was nice for us, however, cleanliness was lacking!! We found some really long dark hair in the master shower, some mold in the master shower, musty smell when we first entered the house, the couches had popcorn in between the seats, there was very few trash cans, etc

Busy traffic noise
1. Numbered locking mechanism didn't work unless you lifted up the door. 2. Nice deck around the house, but not cleaned, including the chairs and tables. 3. Dishwasher had instructions to use a special cleaner. There was none. 4. Cooktop said to use ceramic cleaner, none was found. 5. Dirty silverware found in drawer. 6. Be careful when renting. The house has a nice layout but the only covered deck is in the front where the traffic never stops and is quite noisy.

Very nice home
Enjoyed our stay in this really nice home. It was comfortable for 3 couples. Hot tub was great after skiing. Kitchen was fully equipped for our breakfast cooking and a couple of dinners. Close to the ski resort; 30 minute drive. There is only seating for 5 in the living room, but we brought a comfy chair from one of the bedrooms so it worked out. Great location for restaurants and shopping.
