Upstairs, your guests can enjoy two cozy bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with two queen beds, ensuring everyone sleeps in style.

The spacious living room boasts an open floor plan, ideal for gathering around the gas fireplace for a family game night or simply relaxing. Sneak away to the loft area to catch up on a good book while enjoying breathtaking mountain views.

With just two steps leading onto the large front deck from the paved parking area, Alhambra offers both accessibility and comfort. Plus, central heating and air conditioning ensure your stay is perfect year-round. Reserve your spot today and experience the charm of the BIG RED HOUSE: Alhambra!

    Fireplace nor hot tub were working and we were not notified that either were not functioning prior to booking/arrival. House was also below par on cleanliness.

    Cabin was great and I have no complaints. Unfortunately my family and I went when ruidoso got hit with a flash flood. Cabin wasn’t affected with the flood but we didn’t have water for almost a whole day. We had to leave early due to the water outage. For future reference I highly recommend this cabin. It was easy to contact management. They are very reliable and friendly.

    Great location, quiet neighborhood. It’s a toss-up on if we’d stay here again, would need improvement. The pull-out couch had a sign that said it was not for guest use, but we pulled it open to look for a missing game piece, and it was covered in black mold. The hot tub cover was falling apart, there were steps falling apart with exposed rusty nails, and there were many dishes with literal dirt or dried milk on them. The pots provided were very battered and chipping up non-stick coating. They tell you up front that you’ll be given limited supplies, so it necessitates going to the store for paper towels, toilet paper, and trash bags - but would be more hospitable to have enough of these supplies for the entire stay.

    The house overall is pretty nice and there is lots of wildlife, but most of the furniture and beds are outdated, and many of the amenities did not function properly. The place definitely needs a deep clean. The windows were so dirty you could not see the beautiful mountain views without going outside. Blinds and fans were very dusty, fireplace did not operate properly, hot tub blower did not work, and taking out the trash is a large endeavor. Needs an update and deep cleaning to demand the price that is being asked.

    I loved staying in this cabin, I will definitely come back. It is in an excellent location, a very quiet area, you can really rest and it is very comfortable for family time. Maybe it need to update some things in the kitchen and entertainment area, but even so, it was magical to stay here. Excellent attention from the manager. I really liked the cabin and the place where it is located.

    Nice place and great location. Dishes are nasty and old and unsafe. Need to be replaced. Downstairs toilet barely flushed and upstairs toilet never did. Great bones but terrible upkeep. Even the cover to the hot tub is completely crumbling. I think it's a great house but a small amount of reconditioning would go a long way.

    It is a nice house but really could use some updating. One of the reasons we chose this house over others was the size and also the hot tub, but we did not trust getting in and out of the hot tub due to the steps being broken and the stability of the porch it sat on not looking secure. We did enjoy the fireplace and the scenery. Again, updates throughout and some repairs would make this an amazing home.

    Great property, good location but very steep and curvy road. You will need 4 wheel drive and chains in the winter. Cable tv very limited channels. Hot tub has a leak per technician who came out but was useable after he filled it. I would rent again if they fix the hot tub.

    Nice house, we enjoyed our stay, especially all the wildlife; but part of the front and side decks need repair/replacement and the hot tub steps should be disposed of, they are dangerous! The ceiling fan in the upstairs master bdrm. is on high with no way to adjust. The coffee maker needs to be replaced, it takes 25 minutes for a pot of coffee!

    Our family had a wonderful stay at this house. The check in and check out process was very simple. Everything met our expectations. Could the house stand some upgrades? Sure. The beds were quite hard and the deck could use some work. None of these things are remotely a deal breaker for us nor do they detract from my rating. We also had a bit of a run in with a bear that decided to check out the grill. The property folks were very understanding and quick to respond. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely recommend as well as rent from them again!
