Enjoy the splendor of nature as you relax in this spectacular 2-story mountain home. With 4 bedrooms, huge windows, exquisite furnishings, and wrap-around decks, it’s an ideal base for your vacation!

You’ll know you’ve arrived someplace special when you pull up to the front of Dodson’s Double Decker. This unique home has a gorgeous wooden façade, and its warm shades shine out among the green foliage of the surrounding forest. The decks wrap around the house on two levels and ensure incredible views in every direction. Catch a sunset from the deck as you drink a cool glass of wine -- what a fantastic way to begin your visit!

When you step into the living room, the mountain views will take your breath away. The windows afford spectacular vistas of the landscape beyond, while filling the indoor space with light. The furnishings throughout the home are very high-quality; your family will enjoy spreading out among the various sofas, loveseats, and recliners in the living area. The vaulted ceilings and plush furniture make this an inviting space to gather everyone for a move night on the flat-screen TV. The leather couch even pulls out to a queen-sized bed, accommodating an additional two guests overnight.

Dodson’s Double Decker has a beautiful kitchen. Whether you are pouring cereal, making lunch, or loading plates into the dishwasher after dinner, you’ll appreciate the views of the greenery through the windows around the room. Rustic wooden cabinets accentuate clean, white appliances that shine beneath the recessed lighting overhead. A kitchen island gives you a convenient place to grab a quick bite or plan your day’s adventures! With a full range of large and small appliances, this kitchen has everything you need to prepare comforting home-cooked meals.

Beside the kitchen is a formal dining space. The rectangular table easily seats eight people beneath a pendant lamp. The wooden chairs coordinate perfectly with the wood and slate dining table; it’s an elegant yet rustic place for the family to share a meal or spend an evening playing board games together. The second living area of the home also has a second kitchen that maximizes convenience for your guests. They’ll appreciate the full-sized fridge, the sink, and even a microwave! A leather sofa around the corner offers a fun and cozy spot to enjoy a snack or a tasty drink.

The primary suite at Dodson’s Double Decker is a haven of relaxation. It’s decorated in warm shades of coffee and crimson, with wooden furniture that is perfectly suited to this lodge-style home. An overhead fan keeps the room cool and comfortable, and you’ll love the view from your king-sized bed. Step through the sliding glass doors and gaze at the stars from your own private deck, or treat yourself to a long bubble bath in the primary bathroom. The extra-long vanity gives you two sinks and plenty of counter space to store all your toiletries.

The home boasts three guest bedrooms, each featuring carpeted floors, an overhead fan, a king-sized bed, and access to a private deck. In the second bedroom, rich shades of chocolate and earth decorate the room, reflecting the natural beauty outdoors. The bed faces the large sliding glass doors and the private deck beyond. The third bedroom is elegantly furnished with crimson textiles and dark wood furniture, for a striking effect that your guests will love. In the fourth bedroom, you’ll find a spacious sleigh-style bed looking out toward the deck, in a bright and airy room that even features its own flat-screen TV.

In addition to the primary bath, Dodson’s Double Decker has 2.5 bathrooms for guests to use. Each bathroom is clean and bright, with showers and tubs that give your guests the choice of a leisurely soak or a quick rinse. Fresh towels, large countertops, and multiple sinks make it easy to feel at home here. And with so many bathrooms, no one will have to wait for a turn to get ready every morning.

There are lots of enjoyable touches in this home, including the fast and modern Wifi. Thanks to an on-site washer and dryer, you can pack light knowing that clean laundry is always at your fingertips. Inside is a bistro dining table and two chairs tucked beside the doors that lead to the deck; you can choose to enjoy your morning coffee outside in the fresh air, or inside with perfect climate-controlled views. Out on the decks, you’ll find patio furniture that is comfortable and perfect for eating lunch outside, sharing drinks on a sunny afternoon, or spending an evening watching for shooting stars. For a quick and easy dinner, cook up some barbeque on the grill! It’s the perfect way to relax while you’re on vacation.

Dodson’s Double Decker easily accommodates ten people, so you can bring all your family and friends for a memorable trip together. The multi-car garage is a convenient option when your group has come in separate cars, and the spacious driveway makes it easy to maneuver all of your vehicles. Drive out for a day of shopping and dining in the city, or explore the numerous attractions nearby. Whether you enjoy hiking, golfing, and skiing around Ruidoso, or sipping hot chocolate beside the fireplace at home, Dodson’s Double Decker offers everything you need for a spectacular vacation.

    If you’re coming to the mountains for the views, this retreat is basically cheating. Hands down the best vantage point in town — the kind of panoramic scene that makes you stop mid-step, whisper “wow,” and immediately start taking photos like you’re trying to win National Geographic.Morning coffee on the deck? Unreal. Sunset? Spiritual experience. Night sky? You’ll swear you can see the Milky Way doing a little dance.Now… stepping inside the home is a totally different vibe.The best way I can describe it: the moment you walk in, it feels like grandma is about to offer you a Werther’s Original and ask if you’re “eating enough.” There’s a charming, cozy nostalgia to it… but also a strong “grandpa hasn’t updated a thing since 1997” energy.A few things clearly need some refreshing:some fixtures feel datedparts of the place show their agea couple updates would take this from retro to mountain lux real quickThat said — it’s clean and comfortable. If you can laugh a little and appreciate a place with personality, you’ll enjoy it.Bottom line:Come for the views. Stay for the peace. Accept that inside you’re living in a sweet grandma time capsule, and grandpa is politely refusing to replace anything that still “works fine.”Would I stay again? Yes — because of the view.

    Cabin had nice bedrooms, with three bathrooms. Largest bedroom upstairs with a loft. No door for privacy but has your own space. One bedroom main floor which is convenient for older people or those with issues with stairs. 2 bedrooms downstairs with shared bath. Game room is wonderful with comfy couch. Lots of towels in every room. Some suggestions for improvement: TV main floor would be nice Batteries in all remotes Additional Wii games Clean grill

    There was plenty of space for the entire extended family. We enjoyed ourselves and were comfortable but it is an older home. The home was surface clean but if you look behind the doors there was a layer of dirt. We decided not to look behind the doors. Ha! The owners should consider updating the bedding. The bedspreads were old and the sheets were hard. Making this change would probably push this home to 5 stars. Overall it was a lovely stay and the location was perfect. We also loved the patio and the view!!

    Great house in a perfect location! We loved the layout and our group of 8 had more than enough room! The decks were a favorite gathering spot for coffee in the mornings and happy hour in the evenings!

    Our family gathering at Dodson was an amazing experience. Everything was in order, and we lacked nothing in this home. Very spacious and comfortable, not to mention spectacular views from our balcony. We will definitely be back.
