Beautiful Sierra Blanca View / Sleeps 8 / Large Deck & Hot Tub / Near Ski Apache

Ruidoso, NM experienced several devastating wildfires & subsequent flooding in June & July. We are so blessed and fortunate that Alpine Escape survived! Unfortunately the surrounding area has suffered significant destruction with many homes & over 30,000 acres destroyed.

We continue to pray for all of those that have been affected with loss of life and possessions.

Alpine Escape is up and running and we ask that you please come to support the wonderful town and resilient people of Ruidoso. The town is perfectly in tact and the shopping & restaurants are open and thriving.

As of now we only lack internet at Alpine Escape and should have that up and running by mid November. But it is important for our guests to know that the views are now charred hills & homes lost. But Alpine Escape continues to be a solemn solitude for many. We thank you for your support and for the support of Ruidoso as we all work to rebuild this amazing town!

Perhaps one of the best locations in all of Ruidoso! ALPINE ESCAPE is a private cabin secluded under the pines at 7300 feet elevation in a quiet area north of town. Built in 2004, and perfectly situated on an inviting mountainside, about a mile south of Ski Run Road.

One stay at this property is sure to bring you back. The combination of professionally made rustic furniture and mountain decor, added to the Sierra Blanca view, make this one of Ruidoso's best cabins. There is a 600 sq foot redwood deck that wraps around the cabin with 250 feet of covered area for grilling or sitting around the fire table with your favorite people & wine. You'll love the hot tub at night where you will soak in the amazing moon and stars and delight in the complete serenity.

The cabin is abundantly stocked with all of the necessities for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is appointed with lots of pots & pans, cooking utensils & daily dishes. There are two coffee makers, a Keurig and Mr. Coffee & the coffee & pods are provided.

Blow dryers are available in both bathrooms.

There is a full size washer & dryer and detergent is available if you need to wash a few clothes during your stay. Beach towels are provided for the hot tub and there are other towels available for wet pet paws or to dry your wet shoes on.

There is a hiking trail just off the deck where you can walk up to the private bench and soak in the view. You may see deer and occasionally an elk or wild turkey. In the Spring and Summer, the hummingbirds will entertain you as you sit on the deck and watch them come to the feeder 5-6 at a time!

There is a two car garage and room on the driveway for two additional cars.

The cabin is located just minutes from town and Ski Apache. The driveway is steep so please be sure to have snow chains and/or a 4 wheel drive vehicle in case of inclement weather. Ruidoso is such a fun town with boutiques, art galleries, wonderful restaurants & entertainment. Visit in September for the horse races or come in the winter to ski. Hike the national forest all year 'round or go horseback trail riding at one of the two local stables.

We welcome your small dogs to join you at the cabin. Maximum weight is 50 lbs. Two dogs are welcome with a $75 non-refundable pet fee per dog.

Please email with questions or call.

Note: Max Occupancy = 8.

Wonderful honeymoon spot!
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.

Fall-Birthday Trip
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!

Great Getaway from the City!
Our second trip to Ruidoso and we enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Much better option then a hotel, all the amenities of home with a great mountain tree lined view and variety of wildlife to see. Our favorite by far is the hummingbirds, provide entertainment and so energetic. First night we saw a male elk and several mule deer eating right below the deck. We are 'flat landers' (Houston) so the mountain one lane road and uphill drive were not our favorite but only due to the fact that it is not usual experience. Would definitely recommend staying here!

A short title...
View is nice. House was clean. There are board games and a few random extras like sleds in the garage for when it snows. We didnt use any of that, but it was avaialable. About the only let down was there was a fire pit with three empty gas tanks. We hung out mostly on the patio so that was actually missed, but overall a nice place for a weekend.

Ski vacation
We had a great stay in Ruidoso. House was perfect with great views. Close to town and ski run road. Very comfy beds and everything you need for kitchen. Loved the hot tub. Not many stores opened this time of the year and some restaurants had limited hours. But we managed to find everything we needed.

Cozy Cabin
The Ruidoso cabin had an amazing view of the valley and Ski Apache in the distance. Loved the huge porch, outside seating, grill and hot tub. Kitchen had lots of utensils, pots and pans. Beds were comfy. Cabin was clean. Nice garage that fit one of our cars. Too small for pickup truck and suburban but plenty of space to park. Need 4 wheel drive or chains if snow/icy. Driveway is steep. Saw elk on the property.

Best Cabin we have been to
The cabin was clean! Easy check in love how spaced away from everyone we were, we got to see deer on the outside and were able to even use the jacuzzi during the cold weather! Spacious enough for a family trip (came for thanksgiving.) the balcony has beautiful views! It was nice and quiet. About a 10 minute drive to downtown Ruidoso.

Amazing property - friendly service!
Beautiful area - right off the main road and convenient to everything in ruidoso area. Very well organized and clean - owner/manager were very responsive. Drive is narrow and steep but we fit a big truck and large van without issues. Main living area is upstairs, so be aware of that!
