Eagles Rest: Soar Above It All

Embrace the high life at Eagles Rest, a mountaintop haven with stunning views across the valley to the majestic Sierra Blanca. This Spanish-styled retreat is perched just 1.5 miles from downtown Ruidoso, providing the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience. With over 1,625 sq. ft. of space, Eagles Rest welcomes you with its open floorplan, soaring 11-foot ceilings, and expansive windows that invite the natural beauty of the pines into your spacious living area.

On the main floor, you'll find the living room, dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, and laundry, while two comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms are nestled downstairs—ideal for couples or small families looking for both privacy and togetherness. Step out onto the multiple decks to breathe in the crisp mountain air, cozy up by the gas fireplace, or simply sit back and watch the local wildlife go by.

Eagles Rest is also dog-friendly, so feel free to bring your fur baby along for the journey. With level entry and central air conditioning in the main living area ONLY, this retreat makes relaxation effortless. Come experience a sense of peace and altitude that will make you feel as if you're soaring in the clouds—memories await at Eagles Rest!

PLEASE NOTE: Central AC is in the main living area ONLY; downstairs stays cool with ceiling fans.

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!

Please Note: This home is dog-friendly with a limit of 1 dog. A pet fee of $50.00 (plus tax) per pet applies. Please let us know if you'll be bringing your furry friend so we can make the necessary arrangements.

The pictures do not do this cabin justice. It is beautiful, comfortable, and in a quiet area. The view from the deck is spectacular, especially in the mornings when the sunrise makes the mountains look pink.

The balcony was peaceful and beautiful! The weather was perfect, and we had a wonderful time exploring the surrounding area! The kitchen was set up very well. However, the sink wasn’t cleaned very well, so I cleaned it to my satisfaction. I also felt the need to clean the washer. The carpet downstairs had many stains on it. The bed was very comfortable, and we slept well. The host was friendly, good communication.

3 day getaway

We drove down from ABQ with our lab! The bedrooms were sizable and the overall layout was good. View out kitchen was lovely! Location is close to downtown but quiet such that you hear mostly only the wind thru the trees, birds chirping in the morning, etc. Really enjoyed seeing elk and wild horses on walks (just fyi steep elevations)!

Perfectly quiet and close to town

We went for a visit to the city for quiet and just being together and we got the best place! There were Elk, Turkeys, coyotes, birds, and small ground animals off the deck and front porch which we loved. We sat on front and back porches to read or just listen and we so enjoyed it. The grocery is fabulous and so close, did breakfast at Jorge’s in the morning and cooked in the other meals. House had everything they listed. Beds are comfy, shower was perfect, and lay out was great with two decks. Road to and from was typical to this town- narrow and winding. Wild horses on the road to town was the best!!

Cute Adobe Cabin

This adorable adobe-style cabin in Ruidoso is even cuter and cozier than in the photos! It is in the Upper Canyon area, and is relatively spaced out from the neighbors compared to a lot of cabins I’ve seen in the Ruidoso area. So, there is a little more of an isolated calm vibe. Of course while still being very close to everything at the same time. It has a perfect view of the Sierra Blanca, and there were deer and turkeys seen regularly. I am a big stickler on cleanliness, and this place was definitely clean. Bed was super comfortable and we slept very well. The neighbor across the street that lives there full time has dogs, and one of them did bark for awhile on our first night there, but I never heard him again. I would advise bringing a white noise machine or fan to drown that out if it does happen, but that was really the only downside (and again, it was only once for a little while). We would definitely stay here again :)

Peaceful Mountain Getaway

Nestled in the whispering pines of Ruidoso. Beautiful 2 bedroom 21/2 bath beauty. The neighborhood was quiet, cool and clean. Watch the hummingbirds on the balcony, See the occasional deer strolling by as well as turkeys. As an added bonus, hear the Elk bugling in the canyons. Great experience, great location.

Bedroom location misunderstanding

My husband isn't able to do stairs very well, and we kept confirming that the master bedroom was on the 1st level. We were told that BOTH of the bedrooms were on the first level. However, we didn't realize that the rest of the house was on the 2nd level, which meant we had stairs. Next time we will confirm that it's a 1-story property, so that we don't have stairs to contend with. That was our only problem. Otherwise, the cabin was awesome!!

Trees!

Our stay at Eagle Rest was everything I imagined it would be. The house is nestled in the trees, giving it a warm and cozy feeling. I have to say we fell in love with the town of Ruidoso. Its charming and welcoming. I would consider moving there. The last thing I would like to add is the way the owners handled our misfortune. On our way back from our day trip from Santa Fe a woman passed her stop sign and we were not able to avoid her. My car was totaled but we were all okay but stranded in Moriarty. The owners were not only understanding but also arranged for us to stay another night to recover at a extremely reasonable cost. I can not say enough about what a big deal that was for us. So If the owner of Eagles Rest reads this.. Thank you Sooo very much, Sooo. We loved your beautiful home
