About this property

Dog friendly, fenced yard, AC, high speed WiFi, mid century - vintage

Overview:
Restored 1960 Mid Century Marvel. Hand-scraped Brazilian Cherry wood floors. Vintage Heywood Wakefield furnishings & accents throughout. This was my grandmother's home lovingly restored w/all modern conveniences (air conditioning, gas heat, fireplace, high speed WiFi, new kitchen appliances, washer & dryer, electronic locks, high definition HD TVs in each room w/Apple TVs).

The space:

The house sleeps 4-5 comfortably. Guests may use the main house, laundry room and front and back yards. Feel free to pick cherries and apples from the fruit trees in the front and side yard. There is a gas grill in the back yard for outdoor cooking along with an additional propane tank so running out of fuel mid cooking won’t be an issue. There are two bedrooms (master has king size medium firm bed with 2 new Tempurpedic XL Twins on electric adjustable bed frames combined to make a king and guest room has two twin beds; one is firm with a 2” memory foam topper and other is soft). Living room has vintage day bed (must use full size memory foam topper stored in the guest closet otherwise it is likely not comfortable) if additional sleeping spaces are needed. Please refrain from sleeping on the long sofa in order to protect its integrity. The home is filled with vintage Heywood Wakefield furnishings (please treat with care) and has been tastefully renovated/restored in a manner consistent with its mid century past.

The neighborhood:

The house is situated in a residential area conveniently between mid-village (shops), The Inn of the Mountain Gods and the Ruidoso Downs. The house was built (reportedly) as a VIP "cabin" for the racetrack/downs. The Billy the Kid Casino (6 min drive), Casino Apache (6 min drive) and Inn of the Mountain Gods Casino (10 min drive) are easily accessible. Walking distance to some stores, shops, restaurants. The Rio Ruidoso is a block and a half away. Short driving distance to mid-village shops (6 min drive), restaurants, and Ski Apache. There is a great walking trail (easy and even terrain) behind the Chamber of Commerce. More advanced hiking is all around the area with guides available at the forest service headquarters. Don't forget to check out the Monjeau Peak lookout near the ski resort. Lincoln, NM (home of the Lincoln County Wars and jailing of Billy the Kid), Capitan, NM (home to the Smokey Bear Historical Park), Cloudcroft, NM (home of the infamous and historic Cloudcroft Lodge & Rebecca’s Restaurant) and Roswell, NM (home to the UFO Museum) are all a short (hour or less) and beautiful drive away.

Getting around:

Ruidoso has Lyft available. The village is very drivable with good free public parking.

Great stay in Ruidoso, especially if you’re a dog mom!
Hunter was a great host, very responsive. His place has everything you need in a vacation home. We cooked breakfasts and ate out for lunch and dinner. His restaurant suggestions were perfect, and the house is off the Main Street in Ruidoso so you’re close to the everything! We especially loved that our Schnauzers could just run around in the backyard. Hunter’s place is perfect if you’re dog parents. Thank you for sharing your home, Hunter. We had a great stay in Ruidoso!

Nice to have a yard.
Great location. King bed is comfortable. Owner seems nice. We didn't like the security monitoring and the smell in the house, the ants in the kitchen, and the spiders in the back yard.

Perfect for us!
So many good things about this property! Location, fenced back yard for our fur babies, fast internet, TVs in every room, comfortable beds. I think the kitchen is better equipped than mine at home; absolutely every small appliance, plates, bowls, glasses, baking pans, pots, pans, spices, etc. Even first aid supplies in the bathroom. Plenty of towels and toilet paper. I had one issue with the Apple TV, which was probably my fault. Hunter talked me through it and even offered to drive 3-1/2 hrs to fix it. Wonderful experience and we will definitely ba back!!

About the host

Hosted by Hunter Turnbow

Host profile image
Born & raised in Texas but couldn’t wait to live in the Land of Enchantment so moved to New Mexico full time in 2015. I live in Albuquerque and get away to Ruidoso as often as I can.

Why they chose this property

My grandmother bought this house for her retirement in 1987 when she moved to Ruidoso from nearby Cloudcroft.

What makes this property unique

Lincoln County is “Billy the Kid” and “Smokey Bear” country. Come visit and see what the Sacramento Mountains have to offer.
