About this cabin rental
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 with your favorite people taking in the beautiful views. 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 soak in the view. You may see deer, elk, wild turkeys and occasionally a bear. 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 one additional car (Maximum number of cars is 3).
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. It's fun to 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.

We really enjoyed our stay at Alpine Escape and would definitely consider staying here again. The cabin is in a beautiful, peaceful area, and despite the burned trees from the Southfork Fires (Summer 2024), we loved watching the elk wander through the area, the hummingbirds around the deck, and the incredible star-filled skies at night. The cabin had many things we appreciated. The hot tub was exceptionally clean, the outdoor grill looked brand new and worked great, and we especially loved that the property is dog-friendly.There were a few areas where information could be updated. The listing mentions enjoying the fire table on the deck, but there isn't one now because of fire restrictions. The digital house guide was helpful overall, but it included some confusing instructions. For example, it says to enter using the garage code, but check-in is actually through the second door on the upper level. It also instructed us to start a load of white towels before checking out, but there weren't any white towels and the printed poster checkout instructions inside the cabin didn't mention doing laundry at all. The dishwasher needs cleaning or replacement; it left dishes chalky and glasses cloudy. The driveway is VERY steep and can be intimidating at first, but once we got used to it, it wasn't a problem.Overall, this was a comfortable, reasonably priced cabin in a wonderful location. With a few updates to the instructions and attention to the dishwasher, it would be 5-stars!

Beautiful spotless space. House layout worked great for us. Really enjoyed the views from the decks, hot tub, and so many hummingbirds!

The good: check-in was easy, the hot tub was nice, and the house was clean.The bad: pictures were apparently all from before the wildfires, so the views were extremely disappointing. Very misleading to not update the pictures. Also the listing misrepresented the house with pictures of a fireplace that is no longer there. Additionally, the grill looked about 15 years old and was completely broken (door fell off, the knobs were broken, and it would not start... not to mention we had to replace an empty propane tank from the garage for our first attempted use). Also, the dishwasher soap latch was broken so I can't imagine people are getting the dishes very clean. Lastly, this was a small point, but they don't have their own trash bin near the property.... you have to drag your trash bags down the street to take it out.
