This is our second time staying at this property. The owner/host is amazing and very accommodating. She is very easy to get a hold of if you need anything. We have stayed a few years ago and had to go back. My family absolutely love the openness of everything. We loved how there are big areas to gather and enjoy each others company. The hot tub indoors is amazing to relax in. We were able to see a few deer on the big property and saw elk on the drive into town. On our last day it snowed and with the open land it is such a beautiful thing to see. I would absolutely recommend this property to anybody wanting an amazing get away.

Everyone had the best time from the oldest down to the baby. The mustangs and Elk were a huge hit for all to see. We will definitely be coming back again very soon!

If you’re looking for a relaxing place to stay with a quiet atmosphere and no traffic this is it. We took a group here to experience the winter in the mountains of Ruidoso and didn’t have to worry about a thing once we arrived. The drive to the property is short from downtown, the commute to the ski mountain is short as well. The host was fantastic and answered any questions we had. And the plus was the wild horses who came to visit us at the property, the kids (little and big) absolutely loved it! We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

New Year’s family gathering was a success. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The house is spacious and well equipped with all basic necessities. Beds are pleasantly comfortable. Kids enjoyed seeing deer come up very close to the front door. I contacted Jane for an inquiry about an item that appeared to be left behind at the house and she was extremely helpful and responsive. Will definitely stay again.

My husband and I with an additional 4 adults, and 5 kids 7-16 stayed on this property for a few days during the Christmas Break. The kitchen was very clean and stocked with everything we could have possibly needed to use. Bathrooms had plenty of towels and toilet paper.
My favorite was that this home didn’t have any stairs which kept us all together. We played pool and enjoyed the hot tub when the weather got very gusty and we couldn’t walk down to the river.
We have already looked into rebooking this property.

Relaxing Family Weekend
Our family had a wonderful and relaxing weekend in the Alto House. The house was beautiful and large enough to entertain the whole family, whether they were relaxing on the couches, playing pool or enjoying the beautiful outdoor weather. The host was very attentive and made sure we had a great stay. This was one of the best stocked houses we have stayed at. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!

We were in town for a wedding, had 4 couples (one with a 1 year old) staying in the house and it was roomy enough for us all to be very comfortable. The property is beautiful and the hot tub in the atrium was perfect to unwind in after our 8 hour drive in. Owners/management were super communicative and helpful.

Hello, we have rented cabins in the Ruidoso and Alto area for the last 20 years, always trying new places. This is by far the best place we’ve stayed at. Quiet, peaceful and clean. The home owners have everything you can possibly need. Jane was so helpful, courteous and would answer right away when we had a question. We cannot wait to stay here again. We had family travel from Los Angeles, Phoenix, Amarillo and El Paso. Everyone enjoyed our Thanksgiving Gathering!!
Thank you!!!!

What an amazing house! I would give it a 10-star review if I could. The house had everything you could possibly need. We would cook every day, and it had every appliance, utensil, and even spices to use. We had a total of 12 guests with plenty of space for everyone to move around, and plenty of beds to sleep in. The pool table and foosball table were a big hit. There is a very large, big screen TV in the living room with plenty of seating for everyone to gather around and watch a movie. The laundry room has two sets of washing machines and dryers which was very convenient for a large group. The hot tub was a great place to unwind in the evenings. There were even some toys for toddlers up in the loft area. The best part of our stay was the continuous wildlife experiences. We had elk in the yard every day sometimes in the mornings AND in the evenings. We also had deer in the yard almost every day. About a mile from the property, we seen wild horses running. The property is secluded enough to be peaceful, quiet, and sit outside on the patio at night to view the amazing amount of stars. The location was very easy to get to Ruidoso for shopping and restaurants. The homeowner is very responsive and the check in process was very easy. Everything in the house is labeled and easy to find instructions. I would highly recommend staying here it was a wonderful experience.

Pictures do not reflect how big this house is, in part for the interesting temperature preservation design that covers most of the house by the hill. Skylights everywhere in the house to bring natural light (clever!). Massive skylight in jacuzzi room with supper high ceiling and open space that connects all bedrooms. The distribution of the inside of the house is great, it felt like staying in a movie mansion. Again, pictures do not resemble how big and comfortable the house really is in the inside, it can easily accommodate 3-4 small families. On top of that the house is super well equipped and you can feel the effort the owners make to ensure you vacation is a memorable one. The reason I stay in owned properties like this one is because I like to feel like I am at home. I see more and more owners renting their vacation properties to account for the mortgage expenses. Some owners don’t like sharing their houses, and some find joy in sharing their houses by making others happy, that is the case here. Thanks Jane again for sharing your house with us and for your kind hospitality, Alejandro.

Spacious Cabin
Everyone in our group loved the cabin, inside and out. Very large and spacious. Cabin has just about everything you could possibly need. It was nice sitting outside and enjoying the fresh air. The huge red lovesac in the living room was a hit, everyone wants to buy one now. Enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. Will definitely recommend and will stay again.

Amazing vacation property
We were scared about booking at first due to all the restrictions but we decided to anyways and let me be the first to say the photos don’t do this house any justice. The owners are amazing and went completely out of their way to ensure our stay was great. The house is very spacious and can accommodate a very large group. Every room had a spare bed so is perfect for people with children. The inside hot tub makes for a great experience. The huge yard is amazing to go exploring and looking at the scenario. We saw many elk on the drive in and had deer walking through the backyard in the evenings and morning. The house had everything you could think of needing for a vacation as for as in the kitchen and restrooms. Hands down a great experience and would recommend to anybody looking for a beautiful place to stay.

Wonderful property for relaxing!!
We love this property. The home is beautiful, very clean and well equipped with pots and pans, Keurig, dishes and utensils, and linens. All 5 bedrooms are spacious and the beds are great. We had lots of fun playing pool, burning wood in the wood burning stove watching the big screen tv and the indoor hot tub is amazing. The outside is also amazing. We saw deer and elk right in the backyard. We love this place and recommend it highly!!!

Captivating Views
This was an amazing vacation spot! When we walked in, the place blew my mind. I thought the interior decorations were brilliant! I enjoyed how every room had a different theme and how everything flowed together... down to the animal shaped towels.
The furniture is so comfortable. Surprisingly, I never missed my bed!! My 4 year old enjoyed the open space to run around outside. She screamed when she saw the swing, and the toys that were in the cabin - it made her feel important that there was “a kids touch”.
I think my family’s favorite part was the wildlife. At first we thought it was so relaxing to sit under the hummingbirds buzzing around and get lost in the stars at night. But when we woke up to TWO ELKS in the yard, that was the cherry on top!
We will definitely be back!!

Wonderful; Just as desired
The house was wonderful, fully stocked, and comfortable. The kids loved exploring the land and creek. The layout of the rooms worked well. We would consider staying here again.
Only issue we had was attempting to drop trash off on our last day. All the sites were locked and the cleaning lady got sassy with us after we explained what happened.

Amazing Place and Ownership
This was one of the most amazing properties we have ever stayed in. The location is perfect and you are a perfect distance from the town and just far enough away to have your own space. The home is amazing it has everything you need and has plenty of the things to do to keep you entertained. The owners are simply awesome people and very easy to work with. We highly recommend this place and would encourage anyone to stay at this location.

Great house. Would definitely stay again and again!
Our family loved the room in this house. Beds were so comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. We cooked many meals for 10 people and always had every thing we needed. Enjoyed the outdoors. Several deer came by. The hummingbirds were around all the time. We had a great time.

This was the perfect home for our family Christmas
We absolutely loved staying in this beautiful home! The owner was wonderful and made it so easy for us by covering all the details leading up to, during and after our stay. She provided great directions to the property along with easy check in instructions and a list of several restaurants and activities for us to try while we were there. Upon arrival, she had left us a sweet card and a gift tin of popcorn for our stay! Every cabinet was labeled with what was inside for our convenience. No detail was left undone. The house was clean and tidy and everything was easily accessible. The hot tub and pool table provided added fun during our stay. No one felt crowded because there was plenty of room for all 10 of us. This will be a Christmas we will never forget thanks to the amazing owners of this beautiful home! We highly recommend this wonderful home to anyone looking for a nice, relaxing stay in Ruidoso. - Keely Ratliff and Family

Fantastic! Great relaxation for the entire family
I have stayed here several times, and every time is an absolute treat. Plenty of space to stretch out, relax, and do multiple things. People can nap, and play a game of pool, or go for a hike all right there. Great access to ski run road, airport, Spencer Theater, and a short drive into town. If you get up early enough, you might catch some deer or elk walking through the property, and sometimes, in the right time of year, you can hear them bugling at dusk.

Total serenity
We have stayed here more than once. Peace and serenity are what come to mind when I think of it. Almost every day we saw deer or elk on the property in the morning. The sunrises are fab. The set up is so comfortable. Great beds. I love relaxing on the lounge chairs in the den or in the hammock outside. The kitchen is great to cook in. Will return again.
