Living the Dream | Mountain Views, Hot Tub!

At Living the Dream, you don’t have to go far to see the natural beauty that Ruidoso is known for; you simply have to look out the window. Located 7,300 feet above sea level, this three-bedroom home provides panoramic scenes of the Sierra Blanca range and lush woodlands. Not only can you relish the view from the upstairs great room or the downstairs den, but you can also revel in the sights and sounds from the spacious decks.

It’s furnished with a well-cushioned sofa, rockers, and for the ultimate in luxury, a hot tub. Start your day with a soak as the sun rises over the mountains; end your evening among the massaging jets of water in the silvery moonlight. This is what vacations are all about!

The leather couch and matching armchairs invite you to kick back and relax. Whether that means watching a movie on the flat-screen TV, surfing the web via the complimentary WiFi, or playing charades is up to you. On brisk winter evenings, the wood-burning fireplace within its handsome stone surround will bathe the room in a warm glow.
The great room includes the dining room, where six people can linger over a second helping of dessert. There’s a wet bar in the corner as well, with a pair of stools where you and a friend can catch up on all the gossip of the day. Plus, two more people can sidle up to the breakfast bar.
On the other side of the breakfast bar is Living the Dream’s kitchen. Its stainless-steel appliances, gleaming countertops, and abundance of cookware and tableware might have you eager to cook those elaborate feasts you never have time for at home. Outside, there’s a gas grill where you can cook trout you reel in from nearby Alto Lake—or steaks f
