When in Ruidoso, you probably intend to spend most of your time outdoors among the mountains and lakes. Christi and Don’s Nuthouse is so welcoming and convivial. However, you might find yourself not wanting to leave its delights.

Let’s start with the great room—and what a great room it is! Encompassing the living area, a dining space, a kitchen, and a game area, this wide-open room boasts a vaulted ceiling, a gas fireplace, and plenty of large windows looking out ontoPonderosa pines and the mountains. Christi and Don’s Nuthouse sleeps ten people, and as many as three mature pets as well. But even if you have a full house, there’s plenty of room for everyone to kick back in the living area and watch TV or play charades. And wait until you stretch out on those leather sofas… so comfortable! More fun awaits in the game area, where you’ll find a pool table.

The dining table seats 8, and there’s room for four more at the breakfast bar. This bar is a handy place to set up your laptop and surf the web via the free WiFi. It’s also a convenient place to sit and help with the cooking (or to at least keep the cook company!). As for the kitchen of Christi and Don’s Nuthouse, it’s equipped with the full gamut of appliances, cookware, gadgets, and tableware. Whether you’re making breakfast omelets, a multicourse dinner, or late-night margaritas, you’ll find all the accouterments you’ll need.

If you prefer cooking and dining alfresco, head out to the covered deck. It’s furnished with a gas grill and a dining table with chairs, and the view of the mountains is spectacular. What’s more, the yard is fenced in, good news if you’re vacationing with your kids or dogs.

Three of the home’s five bedrooms are located on the main floor. The primary suite includes a king-size bed and a private bathroom. The 2nd bedroom features a queen-size bed, while the 3rd has a full-size bed. These bedrooms share the 2nd bathroom, which like the primary includes a combination shower/tub and loads of storage. The remaining two bedrooms are downstairs. Each of these spacious rooms includes a queen-size bed. These share the 3rd bathroom, with its own combo shower/tub. All five bedrooms have a TV.

When you arrive at Christi and Don’s Nuthouse the beds will already be made up, plenty of clean towels will be in the bathrooms, and extra bedding will be ready and waiting. What’s more, the house has a washer and dryer, and the 2-car garage and the circular drive ensure that there’s plenty of parking for all your guests.
Then again, if you’re visiting in winter, the snow is probably why. Ski Apache is just over a half-hour drive from Christi and Don’s Nuthouse. Only 10 minutes away is Ruidoso Winter Park, where you can snow tub in winter and soar on a zip line year-round. In warmer weather, you can drive to Alto Lake and Recreation Area in less than 10 minutes; once there you can fish in the stocked lake and explore the surrounding trails on foot, mountain bike, or horseback. And in less than 20 minutes you can drive to the art galleries and shops of Sudderth Drive, the Hubbard Museum of the American West, Billy the Kid Casino, and more.

When you stay at Christ and Don’s Nuthouse, you’ll have a wealth of options at your fingertips. The first order of business, though, is booking your stay. So go ahead, and get ready for your best vacation yet.

Please remember that Ruidoso is a mountain town with snow and icy conditions during the winter. This can affect driving and parking conditions regardless of the property, driveway, or roads. 4x4 or chains may be necessary during the winter months to access your home. Maximum Vehicles 5.

Please Note: A pet fee of $75 applies per pet.

    It was not a very good experience. There was only one bed that was comfortable and that was in the master bedroom. One room was so small you couldn’t even put your suitcase down and the bed was not big enough for two people. My husband had to sleep on the couch. The dishwasher was about to fall out of the wall. Bathroom sink in the bathroom near the garage wouldn’t drain. Hot tub caused the bedroom to be so hot and no one returned my phone call about it. Needs major updating.

    The house was open and great for a family. The kitchen was very poorly stocked; no baking pans/sheets, not enough cooking utensils and not enough silverware. The owner needs to update/replace many rusty sinks. The decor could use updating but the rusty sinks are less than desirable.Also there is no heat in the lower level where two bedrooms are located. The management company is amazing. They were attentive to things we needed and very easy to work with. Bottom line, we would use the agency again but choose another location until Updates are made.

    This was our second time here. We had a little different assortment of family this time. But it was all great. Twin beds would be nice in some of the bedrooms when there’s children.

    Nice location and home. Hot tub didn’t work and pool table and sticks were in disrepair. Cute house. Good access and parking. Kitchen, living room and porch were great. Was quiet and overall a nice place.

    We generally enjoyed the house. Some bathroom and bedroom doorknobs wouldn't lock or latch properly. A fenced yard with No gate is useless. Some blinds were inoperative. The light fixture above the tub in the hall bathroom leaked after the rain Tuesday night. So basically a few fixes are needed to make this nice house better. Having the hot tub in the master bedroom is awkward. But it is broken anyway. Also I didn't see the 2 step sunken living room mentioned in the ad and was a problem for our 8 year old in a wheelchair chair. We made do and our family had a good visit in beautiful Ruidoso.

    Pictures are deceiving online. Walked into an unkept rental. Pool sticks were mostly broken, only two were usable and one was a short stick. Master suite bed was broken, bottom sheet was not fitted which made for a restless night due to the sheet rolling up. A piece of dirty carpet was placed in the master bathroom. Bedding through out the home was dated and dirty ( I have pictures if needed). Toilet seat in down stairs bathroom did not fit the toilet, shower curtain had what appeared to be blood on the inside. Carpet was dirty. Barstools in kitchen are old and unsafe, walls around bar need proper repair. Filthy between stove and counters, stove needs to be pulled out and cleaned behind. All sinks in bath I are rusted with the exception of the bathroom coming in from the garage, which is weirdly located. Spa in master says it’s not advertised on the web site but it is listed as an amenity. The yard is horribly kept, dirty and unsafe for kids to play in. The only positive is the deck, and even that needs to have a cover that doesn’t let rain in, we were forced to sit in the dirty garage when it rained, used one of the lawn chairs in the garage and it collapsed when my brother sat in it. Don snd Christie’s Nut House needs to be listed as Don and Christie’s Dirty Not as advertised House. We won’t be staying again and will not recommend Condotel’s again.

    We had 3 adults and two teenagers. Downstairs worked great for teens, adults stayed upstairs. Quiet neighborhood with wildlife and great views!
