On many an afternoon after you’ve hiked nearby trails, fished in Grindstone Lake, or visited the shops in downtown Ruidoso, you’ll probably settle out on your sprawling deck to take in the forest’s beauty and the exceptional mountain view. Gather your friends for evening cocktails on the deck and follow these up with dinner cooked on your gas grill. Food tastes so wonderful in the great outdoors.

You also have a dining table with an excellent view of nature where you can serve your group. Your kitchen is part of the great room space, separated only by an expansive breakfast bar. With a full complement of appliances, cookware, serving ware, and utensils at your command, you’ll be able to prepare your favorite recipes and delight your guests as often as you wish. At the edge of your kitchen are a full-sized washer and dryer so you can keep everyone in clean clothes.
