'Immerse yourself in solitude' with a breathtaking stay at Chelsea House with Hot Tub!

Chelsea House: Your Mountain Solitude Awaits

Immerse yourself in solitude with a stay at Chelsea House, a hidden gem offering privacy, comfort, and breathtaking Sierra Blanca views. Sink into the large hot tub on the deck and let the mountain air melt your cares away, all while enjoying the beauty surrounding this spacious 3-bedroom, 1800 sq. ft. retreat.

The open floor plan of Chelsea House is perfect for gathering family and friends. Cozy up in the living room for movie night on the flat-screen TV, or cook up a feast in the fully equipped, roomy kitchen. Each bedroom offers its own nook of privacy, ideal for catching up on a good book from the owners' carefully curated collection.

Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood yet minutes from downtown Ruidoso, Chelsea House provides the best of both worlds: seclusion and convenience. With central air conditioning for summer comfort, this mountain charmer is ready to welcome you any time of year. Book your stay today and unwind in the warmth and beauty of Chelsea House!

Lost Mountain is just two houses down from Chelsea House, while Grindstone Cowboy and Grindstone Casa Escondida are located only 1/2 away—perfect options for larger group accommodations.

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!

Getaway weekend
We just wanted a quiet weekend in the mountains and this was the perfect place! The online listing had a bit saying that there was no internet or cable TV, although the property manager said that those services were available. The internet was rather spotty. Otherwise our stay was great!

Mother's Day Getaway
Three moms took a weekend away and absolutely loved this house! We played Mah Jongg on the deck enjoying the beautiful view. On Saturday we went into town and did a Paint & Sip and had dinner at the Texas Club. It was such a relaxing weekend and we will definitely be reserving this property again next year!

It was nice but since we’ve been to the same place last August you can see the wear and tear. The TV’s sound is still not working properly (same last year). The good thing is we totally enjoyed the beautiful view again! Thank you!

Nice restful stay
* The Mountain View is amazing * Hot tub was fabulous * Fireplace was wonderful * Beds comfortable but need more bedding * Kitchen was adequately stocked with spices, dishes and utensils * Showers were good * The cabin feels clean so that’s a big ++ - Needs smart tv so guests can stream their own devices - Need better instructions on fireplace lighting. We had to ask for help in the beginning.

The view of Sierra Blanca is SPECTACULAR!!!
You will want to sit on the back porch for hours! The view is amazing! The house was very clean! The furnishings and finishes are in need of a refresh. The mattresses and seating were uncomfortable and the only thing keeping us from rating 5 stars.

Great Place To Take A Deep Breath
Wonderful views of Sierra Blanca from most of the house. Livable, spacious, and comfortable place to relax and pretty central to getting anywhere in the village or other spots: Alto, Cloudcroft, IOTMG, wine tasting, shopping, as well as sight seeing and hiking spots in the area. We read other reviews of possibly problematic cookware but did not find this to be an issue. The stove top was a little wonky (lopsided burners) but other than that our stay was quite lovely. Did not use the grill so we cannot offer any feedback for that. Did use the hot tub a couple of times and found it wonderful at the end of an active day - once we figured out the controls, sun and/or age has worn them almost invisible! Comfortable bed, ceiling fans in all bed rooms and living area, driveway MIGHT be an issue in winter. We had WiFi issues - for us on vacation not really a huge issue but if someone were trying to work while on vacation this might be a problem. VERY quiet neighborhood with deer, elk, wild turkey, and lots of other birds. Perfect place for much needed R & R!
