Deer Lover's Paradise

Enjoy our peaceful retreat in the woods. Sit on the wrap around deck and feed the dozens of deer. Or just enjoy our stunning views. Relax in the hot tub after a day on the slopes. We have a little of everything....privacy but still just a mile from the ski area road and just 5 minutes to the heart of downtown. 15 minutes to Ruidoso Downs.

We had the most special week in Ruidoso for my son's senior graduation. The Deer Lover's Paradise is fantastic with scenic views! Ms. Stacy is a wonderful host and was very helpful, especially when we asked to stay an extra night. She made the process as seamless possible. Will be staying again!

Serene, Cozy, & Stunning

This cabin was a splendid place for our family to stay! It was gorgeous and cozy! It was VERY clean and the hot tub was a huge plus! Our favorite part was getting to see all the wildlife (deer and horses right outside the cabin). The property feels very secluded, but yet easy to get to anything you want to go to! Thanks for an amazing stay!

Great host, great property!

Stacy is an awesome host, and her property is amazing! It has beautiful views and lots of wildlife. We had so many deer and horses stop by right outside the back door! Our kiddos had so much fun getting up close and feeding them apples. The only minor complaint I have is that there was a lot of dog hair on the couches, living room rug, and bedrooms; besides that, everything was perfect. The house is cozy, well stocked, clean, and comfortably fit my family of 9. Definitely stay here for some unforgettable memories! Thank you, Stacy!

Peaceful Weekend

This is our first time staying at this property and we loved it. Even our teenage son enjoyed the stay at the property. The wild horses and deer came up on back patio. The house was cozy and exactly as listed. It was quiet and so peaceful and views amazing. This is now our favorite place in Alto. We enjoyed it so much we have already booked our second stay.

Cozy home away from home!

This house was so cozy and in a perfect location…it was in a quiet neighborhood with lots of wildlife and still a quick drive into town. We were greeted by wild horses, elk, and deer! Very clean, fully equipped, and comfortable for our family. Loved the porch, the hot tub, fireplace, and sunrises/sunsets!

Had the best time at this property. Host is fantastic and easy to communicate with. Attention to detail throughout the home makes your stay so effortless. Excellent location, easy to visit ski area and go into town when needed. Elk and deer frequented the premises. Hot tub at night under the stars is magical. Lovely home, hope to visit again.

Beautiful home

My husband and I personally believe that this house is way more beautiful then the pictures. It was very clean, well stocked and so comfortable. We loved sitting in the living room looking out the window watching the deer. We were also lucky enough to see the wild horses (2 days in a row) directly off the back porch and in front of the house. It was amazing to sit in the living room and watch them. Stacy is the best and very friendly. She was quick to respond to all my questions. You wont regret staying here and we will definitely be booking this house again.
