Roundhouse Retreat | A Dome Sweet Dome Adventure in Eagle Creek Canyon

Roundhouse Retreat: Your Mountain Getaway with Room to Roam.

Welcome to Roundhouse Retreat, a one-of-a-kind mountain getaway nestled in the serene valley of Eagle Creek Canyon in Ruidoso, New Mexico. Designed by four visionary architects, this modified dome home combines striking architecture with the warmth and comfort of a true retreat.

With 6 spacious bedrooms and room for family and friends, Roundhouse Retreat is perfect for group getaways, family reunions, or multi-family vacations. Gather in the heart of the home around the cozy fireplace, where mountain evenings are best spent with laughter, conversation, or a favorite book.

Set on private acreage, the home offers both seclusion and space to explore. Step outside and you'll find yourself surrounded by whispering pines, wide valley views, and endless opportunities to connect with nature. Whether you're sipping coffee at sunrise, stargazing under the clear New Mexico sky, or spotting wildlife along the canyon, Roundhouse Retreat makes every moment special. Warm up on cool nights around the gas fire pit on the deck.

Inside, you'll discover unique architectural touches throughout, blending playful design with practical comfort. The round layout creates an airy, open feel, while still offering plenty of nooks to relax and unwind. Fully equipped living and dining spaces make hosting meals a breeze, and the large bedrooms ensure everyone has their own retreat within the retreat.

Roundhouse Retreat is also pet-friendly, so your four-legged family members can enjoy the mountain adventure too.

Just minutes from Ruidoso's shops, dining, ski slopes, and hiking trails, this hidden gem offers the best of both worlds: peaceful privacy and easy access to adventure.

Come stay, explore, and make memories at Roundhouse Retreat — where architecture meets nature in the heart of the mountains.

Roundhouse Retreat is located 1 mile from Retreat Ruidoso for larger group accommodations.
