Beautiful Sierra Blanca View / Sleeps 6 / Large Deck & Hot Tub / Near Ski Apache

The cabin is gorgeous, clean and spacious. Beds are extremely comfortable and cozy.

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.

We had the best time! Perfect place for time with family!

No issues

Everything was as expected. Very quiet and peaceful location. Looking forward to returning in the future.

Loved the cabin. It was cozy and had many rooms. Would definitely recommend and would stay again!

Beautiful cabin and convenient location.

This was a great location with an awesome view. The host was friendly and prompt with communications. We made a note to pay for trip insurance to cover our trip in case the weather showed snow/ice as the road/driveway is very steep. Kitchen appliances were good and stocked with above average cookware. They were kind enough to include two space heaters which we used downstairs. I would not recommend more than 6 people for this property, unless you bring your own air mattress. The foldout couch did not initially have a set of sheets the first night and seems to be breaking - I would not try to sleep adults on it. We were lucky in that we had 2 children, so one slept with us on the King and our other slept on the couch without folding it out.With exception to some dead flies in and around the windows the whole property was in great shape. You can tell that the hosts care deeply about the property and put much work into it. We would surely consider staying here again for our next Ruidoso trip.

Pros: Centrally located. Beautiful views. Dog friendly. Plenty of wildlife in the mornings. Great deck for relaxing. Overall it worked well for our family of 4 adults. Cons: Steepness of driveway in winter conditions is an issue. (We knew going into the trip). Bedspread in master had stains, carpet was stained, window in kitchen was broken, garbage was left in a bedroom from prior guests, some dishes were dirty. Motion light outside master bedroom goes on and off all night during windy conditions. A curtain would help with that. Overall we got the snow we were hoping for and the views and outdoor vibes we craved!

We loved this cabin! And our host, Teresa, was amazing too!

The view was beautiful!! The home was so cozy and had a warm feel.

fine

Yes very welcoming, the cabin was beautifull

We loved our mother-daughter trip to Alpine Escape. It had everything we needed. We barely left the cabin. We enjoyed the views, quiet surroundings, and peace Alpine Escape had to offer. We would definitely stay again!

Excellent place to spend time with the family. Clean and warm. Thank you.

Didn't need fireplace!

Great location with plenty of space for everyone. Huge deck with great views. Our host was very accommodating and made sure our stay was trouble free.

Great place to relax

Great bed, furniture, great shower, excellent tv and internet. Enjoyed the 5am hot tub soaks. Hope to return next year. Ruidoso has some excellent pickleball courts and don't forget to play some golf. Garcia's restaurant along with cafe Rio our local favs.

We loved our view and the place was accurately listed. Had an issue with the air conditioning but it was promptly taken care of. Overall a great stay and would recommend to others.

This property has it all. It is in a nice secluded section of the mountain but it is also a very short drive to town. The deck is amazing, especially if you like to relax with some coffee or wine and watch the hummingbirds. Our whole family enjoyed the trip from age 7 up through 17 (and especially the adults). Can’t wait to go again!

The place was stunning and worth it

Very peaceful place. We wish we could have stayed a couple more nights to enjoy the hot tub and peaceful mornings listening to the birds. It was clean and had everything we needed for our group of 5.

It is a very nice cabin away from everything. Unfortunately, this area has been strongly affected by the fires however it was still beautiful.The property management team is amazing. We were traveling with our dog and much to our surprise, a food and water bowl, with a mat, was already in place.The entire place was wonderful with spectacular views. My husband,dog, and I had a great time!My only suggestion for the property would be possibly it is time to replace the cushions on the patio furniture and the pillows for the upstairs bedroom.

Cabin was great - in good condition, clean and everything worked. Didn't try hot tub so couldn't tell if that was good or not. Beds were comfy and A/C worked well. One compliant - the location of the cabin is where the fire happened so when you look at the picture of the cabin online and see all the beautiful trees that is not what you see when you get to the cabin. All the trees are burnt all the way up the hillside on all sides. So it is very sparse and barren looking. Having said that, we did still see some deer and elk and some even came on to the property, which was nice. I do wish they would have let us know that the landscape was not going to be what was portrayed in the picture before we booked at least to give us the choice of whether we wanted to book or not.

Great deck

We loved puur stay! We had breakfast , went shopping, bought a welcome bear, went to the bookstore, and bought a magnet for my refrigerator,& bought dinner.

Had a lovely stay and very comfortable!!!! Enjoyed every minute at the cabin.

We enjoyed the patio of this beautiful home so much. Thanks for letting us stay, it was perfect.

Nice house it a great location

Teresa was a great. The property was clean and well taken care of. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the amazing view of the stars at night. The hot tub was relaxing at night.

Beautiful Home great locationWell SuppliedEverything I needed to know about the home and area was available to me

The stay is pleasant. They had gameboards and card games which we used every night. We also

This is an awesome place in a perfect location, close enough to town but not in town! And on The way to the slopes and close to tubing hill! Couldn’t ask for better

This was our 3rd time staying at this property and everything was perfect as usual. Love this property and the hosts are great.

The view of the mountain from the deck was probably the selling point for me. The property was clean and exactly what you see on the listing. Property manager was quick to communicate when needed. I highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay!We saw deer and elk. Tubbing was close by!The hot tub was amazing and ohh those stars at night ! It was cozy by the fireplace and comfortable beds!

Beautiful property with great property manager. This is our 3rd stay in this cabin and it never dissapoints. Beautiful view of mountain, lots of shootings stars at night seen from hot tub. Perfect getaway weekend for my family. Thank you!

The house was very clean. We stayed for three nights and it for our needs perfectly. Would stay there again for sure.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Alpine Escape cabin. It was very clean and had everything that we needed and then some other items that could have also come in handy if the need arose. The binder provided with instructions and things to do in the area was nicely done. And despite the burn scars on the mountain the views were still beautiful! The location is very quiet but well positioned so getting to local amenities is convenient. It’s a beautiful place and we highly recommend checking them out if you are staying in the area.

The property was just far enough out of town to make us feel like we had the mountain to ourselves. But it was still close enough to downtown to be under a 15 minute drive away. There was plenty of space for the six of us and the property manager was very responsive to any questions I had.

The house and area was beautiful! We saw Mule deer every morning and on our last night got to watch a herd of cow elk from the hot tub. Sad to see the burnt destruction all around but it was still a very nice view.

We had a great time for my mini birthday trip. I've rented this cabin many years ago. It's just as great as I remember. The views are different because of the summer fires. Grateful Alpine Escape is still standing to offer an escape from the city. Thank you Teresa for being a wonderful host. We'll be back!
