Huge Ruidoso W/ Game Room, Pool, 2 Balconies, 2 Kitchens - Sleeps 17! 6 Bedroom Condo by RedAwning

Ruidoso

"Condo was very nice , beautiful view of the mountains, lots of rooms and bathrooms for everyone to spread out, perfect for a multi-generational trip ( infant to 70 year olds). There is 4 levels so alot of stairs but you get your exercise that way and definitely let everyone have their space. Kitchen was fully stocked....only issue we had was the keurig wasn't working but there was a coffee pot so the coffee drinkers did survive lol . We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!! "
