Come Stay at Life's a Hoot

3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, pet friendly, single level, hot tub included

Life`s A Hoot when you luxuriate in the comfort of this beautifully decorated 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home. Each bedroom is equipped with a King bed and a tv for late night movie watching, or snuggle up on the queen sleeper sofa in the sun room and watch the snow fall. Nestle in front of the natural gas fireplace sipping some hot cocoa, or chill out on the front deck with your morning cup of joe.

The Grand Master suite is the perfect place to hideaway, with sitting room if you want to curl up with a good book, or even a large jacuzzi tub to relax in. This Master suite also has its own back deck access if you want to peak out at night and do some stargazing. There are two additional bedrooms, both with King beds, that offer cozy places to sleep, or window benches to sit and watch the wildlife.

The kitchen is fully equipped with oven and stove top, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, microwave and keurig to ensure your guests are well fed. Grill out on the large covered deck, and maybe even enjoy dinner outside at one of the patio tables. After dinner, kick back in the hot tub. Not quite tired from the day’s activities? Catch a round of air hockey or foosball, giant checkers, ping pong, board games and more! The fenced in yard is perfect for your furry friends. Wide doorways, step free entry, and a roll in shower make this a wheelchair friendly home. This home has everything you need except food and good company.

Only about 5 minutes to Midtown where you will find some of the best little boutique shopping and a few of our best bites to eat. If you prefer to spend your time exploring, there are hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails all around. During ski season, about a 15 minute drive will get you to the bottom of Ski Run Rd. Once there, it is a 12 mile trek up to Ski Apache. The views from the top are absolutely breathtaking. If you are not the skiing or snowboarding type, the zipline is another great option. In under 10 minutes you could be trying your luck at the casino at Inn of the Mountain Gods, or just stop by to see the entertainment options for that night. There are plenty of golfing options if you`ve got a great swing, or take the kiddos down to FunTrackers or to our new Adventure Mountain Family fun center. Whatever your flavor, Ruidoso has something to offer you.

Our office is open Monday- Friday 8am-5pm at 220 Lookout Drive Ruidoso, NM 88345.
Our rental agreement will be sent to you via email and you will be required to sign and return it.

Would stay again
Very good facility. Lots deer, elk, and wild horses. No complaints other than needed more towels and wash rags. Not many there for 3 bathrooms. Throw rugs don't lay down well and can trip. Freezer had couple canned drinks explode and was a mess. We cleaned it up, but all this is picky because we loved it and highly recommend. Just making notes for caretakers for the future of this wonderful place.

Lovely Place!
Very nice and clean house. We enjoyed our stay. Would have loved to stay longer. We relaxed on the back porch and cooked out. We took walks in the neighborhood and all the neighbors were friendly. Enjoyed the afternoon showers and watching the deer and birds all around us. Everyone had a wonderful time.

Great house!
We really enjoyed our stay! Went to Ruidoso for New Years with family and a few friends, and this house had everything we needed. It’s in a great location and has tons of space! The property manager was very quick with any assistance we needed. Will definitely be back!

Christmas vacation- mixed review
The location of the property was good, there was plenty of room for all six of us, and we enjoyed the Christmas decorations and lights. However, I checked in the day before my daughter and her family arrived and there were two significant issues. There was dog hair on the floor so I had to vacuum since I have a one year old grandson. I mentioned it to the property manager and she stated that the owners have a dog. Also, there was no hot water the majority of the time we were there, which is totally unacceptable by any standard, especially in the winter. The property manager said there are new owners and they replaced the hot water heater. She sent a maintenance person out four times in six days but it was never fixed and the communication between us became very tense. Although we had a wonderful time as a family, the entire situation was very stressful for me. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this property nor the property manager.

Happy Birthday to me!
This was a great place to stay with my family to celebrate my 60th birthday. There was plenty of space for all to be comfortable. We cooked at home and found the kitchen well equipped and stocked with what we would need besides the food. The kitchen table had enough chairs for everyone to sit around. The beds were comfortable so all slept well. This place was great. Will most likely rent this place again.

Seclusion at it’s finest
Nice pleasant drive into the mountains. Very easy to find. Has everything you need as far as amenities go. I ventured down behind the house and did a little nature walk. Saw quite a few deer. I will definitely be back to stay. The bed was super comfortable!!

Great stay in Ruidoso
We were in town for the long weekend with friends and this rental had lots of room. It was incredibly clean and well organized, with everything we needed in the kitchen. The back deck was a great place to enjoy morning coffee while watching the sun rise over the adjacent ridge. The neighborhood was conveniently located in town and really quiet. Truly a minor complaint in the grand scheme of a great rental house, but there was no shampoo provided, which surprised me. I'd highly recommend this VRBO.
