About this property

Gather, play, and unwind at this spacious Alto mountain retreat overlooking the lake. Designed for families and groups, the home features a full-size pool table, poker table, hot tub, wrap-around deck, wood-burning fireplace, and kids' retreat.

  • Escape to a spacious mountain lodge with stunning lake views, perfect for large families and groups. This retreat features two game rooms, an outdoor hot tub, a wrap-around deck, and a wood-burning fireplace. Comfortably sleeping many guests, it's just a short drive from Ski Apache, Ruidoso Downs Race Track, and the Inn of the Mountain Gods casino. Your ultimate mountain adventure awaits!

    We respect our guests' privacy and offer a self-check-in process. While we will not be present during your stay, we are readily available via phone or the app to answer any questions or address any needs that may arise.

    Enjoy the quieter mountain setting of Alto while staying close to the area's most popular attractions.

    The home is near Eagle Creek Sports Complex and Ruidoso Winter Park, with convenient access to destinations including Ski Apache, Ruidoso, Ruidoso Downs Race Track, and Inn of the Mountain Gods.

    Whether your plans involve skiing, hiking, golf, racing, exploring town, or simply escaping to the mountains, you'll have an ideal home base to return to.

    Guests have private access to the home, wrap-around deck, hot tub, game room, kids' entertainment areas, laundry room, and outdoor spaces included with the rental.

    The garage, select storage closets, and basement storage area are reserved for owner storage and are not accessible to guests.

    Welcome to your mountain home away from home—a spacious, newly refreshed retreat made for families and groups who want plenty of room to gather and plenty to do without leaving the house.

    From lake views and evenings in the hot tub to pool tournaments, poker nights, movies by the fire, and a dedicated kids' retreat downstairs, this home was designed for time together.

    MAIN FLOOR
    Great Room

    The heart of the home features soaring wood-paneled ceilings, comfortable updated furnishings, and plenty of space for the whole group to gather.

    Enjoy:

    Wood-burning fireplace
    Large Smart TV
    Formal dining table with seating for 12
    Additional table perfect for games, puzzles, or casual meals
    Comfortable conversation and lounging area
    Mountain-lodge atmosphere with abundant natural light
    Kitchen

    The fully equipped kitchen makes feeding a group easy, with updated stainless-steel appliances and plenty of room for preparing family meals.

    You'll also find a Keurig coffee maker that can brew either a full pot or individual cups—because mountain mornings require coffee.

    Outlaw Saloon + Game Room

    One of the home's standout spaces, the newly upgraded Outlaw Saloon gives your group its own private game room.

    Challenge everyone to:

    A game on the full-size pool table
    Poker night at the dedicated poker table
    Drinks and conversation around the cocktail tables
    Movie night or the big game on the 65-inch Smart TV

    With bar-style seating and plenty of room to hang out, this is the perfect after-ski, rainy-day, or late-night gathering spot.

    King bed
    55-inch Smart TV

    Laundry Room

    A full-size washer and dryer are available for guest use during your stay.

    OUTDOOR LIVING

    The wrap-around deck may become your favorite room in the house.

    Private hot tub
    Wrap-around deck
    Lake views
    Propane grill
    Outdoor gathering space
    Direct deck access from multiple bedrooms

    Start the morning outside with coffee, grill dinner after a day in Ruidoso, or end the night soaking in the hot tub beneath the cool mountain sky.

    PERFECT FOR GROUP STAYS

    With four king bedrooms, a dedicated bunk retreat for kids, multiple living and entertainment spaces, and seating where everyone can actually gather together, the home works especially well for:

    Multi-generational family trips
    Families traveling together
    Couples' mountain weekends
    Holiday gatherings
    Ski trips
    Summer escapes
    Race weekends
    Longer family stays

    You can spend the day exploring—or have a fantastic vacation without leaving the house.

    Traveling with a dog?

    We welcome four-legged family members. Pets are permitted in the designated downstairs King Suite, which includes a dedicated dog area with a bed, blankets, and bowls.

    Please keep pets within the designated pet-friendly area of the home.

    Mountain-area trash

    There is no private exterior trash bin at the property due to local/community guidelines. Guests will need to dispose of trash at the community trash bins located approximately three minutes from the home at checkout.

Location was perfect not to close to the city lights but far enough in the forest/ mountain. Lakes near by was great for our family. And most of all it felt like home.
