Hillside Haven w/ Deck < 2 Miles to Dwtn Ruidoso!

Delve into the rich culture of Ruidoso while enjoying amazing views at ‘Piney Woods West,’ a 2-bed, 1-bath vacation rental home! Offering tranquil Sierra Blanca views, this hillside haven features sleeping arrangements, cozy furnishings, and a furnished deck. With the quaint shops of town just 5 minutes away, plus Ruidoso Downs Race Track & Casino and Ski Apache within a short drive, this charming getaway is the perfect retreat for friends and family who want to explore the great southwest!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed

Discover 'Piney Woods West' nestled aside a mountain road and perched on a high curve. From the furnished deck you can't see any neighboring properties, which gives this home a private outdoor space!

Built in 2001, the property offers all the comforts of home throughout 1,064 square feet of living space. After a long day of explorations, find a cozy seat in the living room and pop a movie onto the flat-screen satellite TV.

With an open floor concept, the living room flows seamlessly into the fully equipped kitchen! Effortlessly whip up your favorite dishes before gathering at the 4-person table or patio furniture for a quality meal.

When you're in need of some peace and quiet, retreat to either bedroom's plush queen bed for a tranquil slumber. Linens and towels are provided during your stay, so you don't have to worry about bringing them along!

-- THE LOCATION --

This home's fantastic central location places you just 5 minutes from the Village of Ruidoso, home to several local shops, antique stores, and more. Local favorites include Tall Pines Wine and Beer Garden, Hall of Flame Burgers, and Hidden Tap.

Less than 20 minutes from the home is Lotza Stuff Flea Market, as well as The Hubbard Museum of the American West. If you're feeling lucky, make your way to the Ruidoso Downs Race Track & Casino or Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino to win a few bucks!

To immerse yourself in nature, head over to Grindstone Lake, Two Rivers Ruidoso River Park, or the Fort Stanton-Snowy River Cave National Conservation Area. Ski Apache is less than an hour away, offering zip lining in the summer and skiing in the winter!

Nice Vacation Rental

It's a good place to stay to relax. We enjoyed the covered deck and the books to read. The driveway is a bit too steep, but the online description was accurate, so we were not disappointed.

Awesome Home

This home is so inviting! We enjoyed playing cards and having meals on the patio where the view is amazing. We liked opening the windows inside to the let the fresh air in while we watched playoff hockey. This home had everything needed and was our central place from the activities we had planned. We enjoyed it very much!

Place was clean and fully stocked kitchen that even had a stand mixer. Bring your own toilet paper as they use 1 ply (yuck) Other than that it was perfect! We spent most of our time on the deck enjoying the deer who came up and the cool weather. Steep driveway. Quiet neighborhood.

Very Nice Cabin

We enjoyed our stay at this roomy cabin. The deck was so nice with a beautiful view. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked, and the living room furniture was comfortable. The cabin was very clean. The only two drawbacks were (1j a very steep driveway and (2) no central air conditioning, which wouldn’t have been a problem if Ruidoso hadn’t had a few hot days while we were there. All in all, though, this cabin is very nice and the owner has taken care to offer a really comfortable getaway.

Wonderful!

The pictures on the Web site don't do this beautiful home justice. The location, tree filled lot, views, and privacy were fabulous. The home was very clean and extremely well appointed. All spaces were very generous and comfortable. And the home was well stocked with everything you might need in a home away from home. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you for the care and comforts you provided for us during our stay.

Hidden hideaway

We enjoyed the location. The kitchen had all the amenities and extras which allowed us to cook breakfast. They had filters and coffees which is good for is coffee drinkers! The sheets had dust but it could be because it had not been used. The furniture was good. The recliners were comfy. I really liked that I received emails prior to our stay. It gave me the assurance I booked correctly. The ease of check in was great because I did not have to worry about being at an office by a specific time. We would stay again and recommend it to you!!
