On Mountain Time: Your Upscale Retreat in the Pines

Make time for relaxation at On Mountain Time, an upscale mountain townhome that serves as the perfect base for your adventures in Ruidoso, Alto, and Lincoln County. Nestled among the pines, this retreat encourages you to slow down and savor every moment.

The open living area downstairs features a cozy gas fireplace, creating an inviting atmosphere for gathering with loved ones. The upgraded kitchen is fully equipped for all your culinary needs, while a guest bedroom and convenient half bath complete the main level.

Venture upstairs to discover two spacious bedrooms, each adorned with comfortable King beds and en-suite bathrooms for added privacy and convenience. With plenty of room for friends and family to unwind, you can enjoy the refreshing mountain air together.

On Mountain Time is located within a 55 acres townhouse community Alto Mountain Village that offers use of community swimming pool in Summer months. Pool is generally open Memorial Day (late May) thru Labor Day (early September). Some restrictions apply; pool use is not guaranteed as may be reserved for private parties or down for repairs.

Just down the road, Alto Lake offers opportunities for hiking and fishing, making it easy to embrace the great outdoors. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or an extended stay, On Mountain Time is your ideal haven, equipped with central air-conditioning to keep you cool during those summer months. Embrace the tranquility and adventure that awaits!

This home does NOT have a BBQ grill.

Ruidoso, Alto, and surrounding areas: Submerse yourself within the towering pines of Lincoln County and watch local wildlife such as elk, deer, wild horses, turkey, birds, and more in their natural habitats. Plan a day basking in the stillness of our national forest while hiking, biking, or fishing, golfing at one of our multiple golf courses or spend a fun night out on the town at one of the area's local attractions! Be sure to swim or fish at the beautiful Grindstone or Alto Lake, delight your senses at Winter Park with roller coaster and tubing, and explore the ski slopes and hiking trails throughout Ski Apache. Win big at one of our three local casinos and enjoy the excitement of live quarter horse racing at Ruidoso Downs Racetrack. Be happy you took a respite from the concrete jungle. Come relax and refresh with us!

    The condo was well kept, updated, and cozy. Instructions for the fireplace, TV and heating systems were easy to located and follow. The condo is easily located off the main highway; but secluded enough with a great view off the patio and upstairs windows. Neighborhood was peaceful. Full kitchen with everything we needed. We would stay there again!

    The toilet on the firt floor was clogged. When we would take a shower on the second floor, the toilet on the first floor would overflow. We had to keep mopping and tried to avoid taking showers to prevent this. There were no trash bags provided. Luckily we had little bags. We rented this place because of the Fireplace and Swimming pool. We never found any pool and when I contacted the owner it appears that they didn't know either. That was false advertising. The fireplace had a note, do NOT USE. So, the reason I rented this place in the first place was the main things we could not use.

    Place was beautiful, loaded with extra kitchen supplies which was nice of you forgot something. Very clean, close to the Ruidoso winter park. Definitely will stay again

    We had elk outside our back door. That was unexpected. We were close to town and it was easy to navigate the surrounding area. Very happy with our stay.

    Cabin was clean but had a smell that was odd and not welcoming.
