*NEW* Rustic Ridge! Spacious home with wood beams, hot tub, pool table & Guesthouse
**Introducing New** Rustic Ridge! Spacious home with Natural Charm
Welcome to Rustic Ridge a one-of-a-kind, barn-style mountain retreat full of vintage charm and surrounded by towering pines! This rustic lodge is ideal for family reunions or group getaways, offering the perfect mix of cozy and spacious areas for everyone to gather and enjoy. With custom wood beams, ample level parking, and thoughtful amenities throughout, Rust Ridge is the peaceful, earthy escape you are looking for.
The entry-level living room greets you with a pool table, large-screen TV, wood-burning fireplace (firewood is NOT provided), and charming vintage décor. Three comfortable bedrooms are located on this main floor, and upstairs, you'll find a grand master suite with an en-suite bathroom. The upper-level common area offers another cozy gathering space with a big-screen TV, a wood-burning fireplace, and plenty of room for games, conversation, or unwinding together. The fully equipped kitchen features scenic views from the many windows, perfect for creating memorable meals to enjoy around the large dining table or in the breakfast nook.
Step out onto the expansive back deck to soak in the hot tub and take in views of the Capitan Mountains. For added fun, head over to the separate guest house where the garage has been converted into a game room ! This additional space features a ping pong table, a comfortable lounge, a bathroom, and an upstairs loft bedroom with twin beds—ideal for those seeking a bit of privacy and additional mountain charm.
This cozy, natural, warm, countryside retreat was originally an Amish build farmhouse from upper US that was taken apart and reconstructed in beautiful Alto, NM. There are are original large hand honed beams throughout the home. Some of the original bricks are also highlighted in the grand entry.
With central AC and heating in the main house, Rustic Lodge is ready to welcome you year-round. Book your stay at this unique mountain getaway and make lifelong memories in a setting full of character and charm! (Guesthouse DOES NOT have AC).
Ruidoso, Alto, and surrounding areas: Submerse yourself within the towering pines of Lincoln County and watch local wildlife such as elk, deer, wild horses, turkey, birds, and more in their natural habitats. Plan a day basking in the stillness of our national forest while hiking, biking, or fishing, golfing at one of our multiple golf courses or spend a fun night out on the town at one of the area's local attractions! Be sure to swim or fish at the beautiful Grindstone or Alto Lake, delight your senses at Winter Park with roller coaster and tubing, and explore the ski slopes and hiking trails throughout Ski Apache. Win big at one of our three local casinos and enjoy the excitement of live quarter horse racing at Ruidoso Downs Racetrack. Be happy you took a respite from the concrete jungle. Come relax and refresh with us!
