Alto, New Mexico is a charming village outside Ruidoso. While it is small, its incredible location and gorgeous mountain views are quickly making it a favorite destination for all types of travelers! If you haven't discovered this New Mexico gem yet, it's about time...and what better place to do it than in this rustic 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home? With enough room to sleep 6 guests, this peaceful property is perfect for families and groups of friends traveling New Mexico together!
The location of this cabin could not be more perfect – It's just a short drive away from Ruidoso Downs Track, Inn of the Mountain Gods, and the town of Ruidoso itself.
You'll have access to world-class skiing, hiking, fishing, golf, and more! You can try your luck at one of the three local casinos, ride horses through gorgeous landscapes, or just wander through Ruidoso itself, taking in all its rich history.
Festivals such as the Ruidoso Art Festival, Festival of Lights, Golden Aspen Motorcycle Rally and Mountain of Blues Festival take place throughout the year, so there's always something exciting happening! No matter how you choose to spend your vacation, whether it be exploring nature or simply relaxing in your cabin, Alto is sure to please.
The property is located out of the way, but it’s fairly easy to get to. The driveway and parking was tight for a truck though. After a day out on the town and golfing it was hard to comeback and relax. The furniture was rather hard and stiff, and the mattress we slept on was old and worn down. The best views are off the front porch, but there wasn’t many options to sit out and enjoy it with.

Hi Mark, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the property’s peaceful location and easy access to nearby activities. The homeowner reviewed your comments and wanted to address a few points to help future guests have the best possible experience:
- While the driveway may feel a bit tight for larger vehicles, there’s additional parking available at the rear of the property. We recommend this spot in the check-in instructions, as it offers easier access to the home.
- We strive to create a rustic cabin experience, and the great room is furnished with classic pieces like rocking chairs, a large leather chair, and a couch that was recently reupholstered. However, we understand that furniture comfort is subjective and will continue to evaluate options to enhance guest comfort.
- We appreciate your feedback on the mattress and are currently arranging for a replacement in the master bedroom. Additionally, the front porch is equipped with a log frame porch swing, chairs, and a picnic table, but your suggestion for additional seating has been noted for future improvements.
Thanks again for providing valuable insights that help us enhance the guest experience. We hope you had a memorable trip, and we’d love the chance to host you again!
This cabin is special. You can tell a lot of thought went into the furniture, decor, and amenities. The location is perfect - in the mountains, but close to town.

Great stay for myself and husband, daughter and her friend. Pool table was a hit with the teens. Beautiful area. Easy drive to town.
Only downside is the third bedroom was not used and who ever would have gotten that room would definitely have the short end of the stick. As the room is very small and bed seemed a bit older. The other bedroom downstairs was used by my husband and myself and it sunk in the middle some we noticed. So maybe a new mattress needed. Otherwise a wonderful stay. Loved the layout of home. The master bedroom is right next to pool table so we ended up giving the kids the master.

We've had multiple stays at this beautiful home. It is always immaculate and well stocked. It's easy to get to yet secluded and quiet. Just a short hop to the ski area or Ruidoso. Extremely comfortable, warm, and relaxing. We are looking forward to our next stay.
Would def go back!
