Ruidoso Rabb

This beautiful 4-bedroom lodge is nestled among the pine trees and looking out toward the Sierra Blanca. Ruidoso Rabb can sleep as many as 10 people—and a pet or 2 as well. Whether you’re in town for a family vacation or a getaway with friends, you’re sure to love its charming furnishings, spacious decks (one of which includes a hot tub), and convenient location.

Ruidoso Rabb’s living room sets the mood for the entire home. The cathedral ceiling, brick-surround fireplace, and barn-style door create a relaxed rustic ambiance; the plush sofa, the flat-screen TV, and the oversize leather armchair provide luxurious comfort. If you want to do something a bit more active than watching a movie, surf the web via the free WiFi, or catch up on your reading, head downstairs to the game room to shoot some pool.

When it comes to meals, you have multiple options. You can get cooking in the fully equipped kitchen and eat at the dining table, which seats 6. (There’s also a sweet little table for 2 right in the kitchen, with a beautiful view of the trees and the seemingly endless sky.) In warmer weather you can dine out on the upper deck; the fresh mountain breezes make everything taste a little better. Or you can head to one of the many nearby restaurants. Thanks to Ruidoso Rabb’s fabulous location, everything from tacos to steak to pizza is only minutes away.

While the open upper deck is ideal for warming yourself in the sunshine, the covered lower deck is perfect for keeping cool in the shade. When you’re not sipping coffee and admiring the sunrise as you kick back in one of its chairs, you can luxuriate in its hot tub. A long soak among the massaging jets of water will be especially restorative when you return from hiking, skiing, or fishing. A hot tub is also a wonderful place for reveling in the beauty of the star-studded sky before turning in for the night.

The primary bedroom includes a log-frame king-size bed, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom, and a door that opens directly onto a deck. The 3 other bedrooms each have a queen-size bed and share the remaining 2 bathrooms. When you arrive at Ruidoso Rabb you’ll find the beds beautifully made up, plenty of clean towels in the bathrooms, and extra bedding ready and waiting—leave your own linens at home. In fact, because the house has its own full-size washer and dryer, you can pack even lighter than usual.

Be sure to bring your outdoor gear, though. Ruidoso Rabb is just a mile from Grindstone Lake. You can canoe, kayak, paddleboard, and fish on the lake, bike and hike the surrounding trails, and even play disc golf here. In less than 5 minutes you can drive to Grindstone Stables for a guided horseback ride or, in winter, a sleigh ride. If golf is your sport, you’ll be glad to know that the Links at Sierra Blanca is less than 10 minutes away; Ruidoso Winter Park, where you can snow tube in winter and ride the zip line year-round, is only a 15-minute drive. What’s more, Ski Apache, home to ski slopes, mountain bike trails, and the world’s 3rd longest zip line, is just 45 minutes away. As for less strenuous pastimes, the boutiques and galleries of Sudderth Drive, the Billy the Kid and Inn of the Mountain Gods casinos, Ruidoso Downs, and the Hubbard Museum of the American West are all within a 15-minute drive. And because Ruidoso Rabb has parking for up to 5 vehicles, everyone can split up during the day before returning to the lodge at night.
One thing’s for certain: When you stay at Ruidoso Rabb, you’ll never run out of things to see and do, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to kick back and relax as well. Book your stay today, and get ready for what might be your best vacation yet. Please remember that Ruidoso is a mountain town with snow and icy conditions during the winter. This can affect driving and parking conditions regardless of the property, driveway, or roads. 4x4 or chains may be necessary during the winter months to access your home. Maximum 4 vehicles.
