License to Chill: Your Relaxation Destination
"Permit to Relax Granted" at License to Chill! This inviting cabin is the perfect spot for a laid-back getaway with friends and family, nestled just four blocks from the vibrant downtown shopping district of Ruidoso. With easy access to Wingfield Park, the Inn of the Mountain Gods, and Grindstone Lake, adventure awaits just minutes from your doorstep.
Step inside and feel the stress melt away as you unwind in the cozy living area, complete with a wood-burning fireplace (firewood is NOT provided)—ideal for enjoying your morning coffee or tea. The cabin spans approximately 1,212 sq. ft., providing ample space for relaxation.
For some added fun, head to the detached game room, a lively retreat featuring a full-length bar, smart TV, pool table, ping pong, and darts. It's the ultimate spot for friendly competition and laughter! After a day of exploring, soak your cares away in the new hot tub, or let the kids play freely in the fully fenced-in backyard, ensuring peace of mind while they enjoy the outdoors.
With an easy three-step level entry and air conditioning for warm summer days, License to Chill is designed for your comfort. Make your reservation today and enjoy the ultimate blend of relaxation and fun in beautiful Ruidoso!
3 blocks down are I'll Have Another and Happy Days Inn for parties looking for larger group accommodations.
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!
