Host profile image
We’ve travelled to Ruidoso for almost 50 years and absolutely love it. We came for the skiing, horse racing, golf, shopping and the general sense peace offered by the enchanting pines and quaint village. We are now retired and find ourselves fortunate enough to have a home here in this little piece of heaven and are we’re eager to share it with you. Come stay at the Northern Star and enjoy everything Ruidoso has to offer.

Our full-time home is in Roanoke, Texas. We love to go camping and fishing and enjoy the great outdoors. We have been married 47 years and have one energetic 7 year old grandson who keeps us busy. Hopefully we can meet you in Ruidoso sometime. Y’all come.
