Ruidoso, NM experienced several devastating wildfires & subsequent flooding in June & July 2024. We are so blessed that our cabin, Alpine Escape, survived!
Unfortunately the surrounding area suffered significant destruction with many homes & over 30,000 acres destroyed. It is important for our guests to know that the views are not as beautiful as they once were but we know that will improve as time goes by. Alpine Escape is a solemn solitude with only a few other properties left in the immediate area. You'll rarely see a car and the only thing you'll probably hear is a rooster or a turkey in the distance. Deer and elk still stroll by the cabin and the hummingbirds are still the highlight for many of our guests.
Perhaps one of the best locations in all of Ruidoso! ALPINE ESCAPE is a private cabin secluded under the pines at 7300 feet elevation in a quiet area north of town. Built in 2004, and perfectly situated on an inviting mountainside, about a mile south of Ski Run Road.
One stay at this property is sure to bring you back. The combination of professionally made rustic furniture and mountain decor, added to the Sierra Blanca view, make this one of Ruidoso's best cabins. There is a 600 sq foot redwood deck that wraps around the cabin with 250 feet of covered area for grilling or sitting around the fire table with your favorite people & wine. You'll love the hot tub at night where you will soak in the amazing moon and stars and delight in the complete serenity.
The cabin is abundantly stocked with all of the necessities for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is appointed with lots of pots & pans, cooking utensils & daily dishes. There are two coffee makers, a Keurig and Mr. Coffee & the coffee & pods are provided.
Blow dryers are available in both bathrooms.
There is a full size washer & dryer and detergent is available if you need to wash a few clothes during your stay. Beach towels are provided for the hot tub and there are other towels available for wet pet paws or to dry your wet shoes on.
There is a hiking trail just off the deck where you can walk up to the private bench and soak in the view. You may see deer and occasionally an elk or wild turkey. In the Spring and Summer, the hummingbirds will entertain you as you sit on the deck and watch them come to the feeder 5-6 at a time!
There is a two car garage and room on the driveway for two additional cars.
The cabin is located just minutes from town and Ski Apache. The driveway is steep so please be sure to have snow chains and/or a 4 wheel drive vehicle in case of inclement weather. Ruidoso is such a fun town with boutiques, art galleries, wonderful restaurants & entertainment. Visit in September for the horse races or come in the winter to ski. Hike the national forest all year 'round or go horseback trail riding at one of the two local stables.
We welcome your small dogs to join you at the cabin. Maximum weight is 50 lbs. Two dogs are welcome with a $75 non-refundable pet fee per dog.
Please email with questions or call.
Note: Max Occupancy = 8.
