Christi and Don's Nuthouse
Where you'll be
Description
Let’s start with the great room—and what a great room it is! Encompassing the living area, a dining space, a kitchen, and a game area, this wide-open room boasts a vaulted ceiling, a gas fireplace, and plenty of large windows looking out onto Ponderosa pines and the mountains. Christi and Don’s Nuthouse sleeps ten people, and as many as three mature pets as well. But even if you have a full house, there’s plenty of room for everyone to kick back in the living area and watch TV or play charades. And wait until you stretch out on those leather sofas… so comfortable! More fun awaits in the game area, where you’ll find a pool table.
The dining table seats 8, and there’s room for four more at the breakfast bar. This bar is a handy place to set up your laptop and surf the web via the free WiFi. It’s also a convenient place to sit and help with the cooking (or to at least keep the cook company!). As for the kitchen of Christi and Don’s Nuthouse, it’s equipped with the full gamut of appliances, cookware, gadgets, and tableware. Whether you’re making breakfast omelets, a multicourse dinner, or late-night margaritas, you’ll find all the accouterments you’ll need.
If you prefer cooking and dining alfresco, head out to the covered deck. It’s furnished with a gas grill and a dining table with chairs, and the view of the mountains is spectacular. What’s more, the yard is fenced in, good news if you’re vacationing with your kids or dogs.
Three of the home’s five bedrooms are located on the main floor. The primary suite includes a king-size bed and a private bathroom. The 2nd bedroom features a queen-size bed, while the 3rd has a full-size bed. These bedrooms share the 2nd bathroom, which like the primary includes a combination shower/tub and loads of storage. The remaining two bedrooms are downstairs. Each of these spacious rooms includes a queen-size bed. These share the 3rd bathroom, with its own combo shower/tub. All five bedrooms have a TV.
When you arrive at Christi and Don’s Nuthouse the beds will already be made up, plenty of clean towels will be in the bathrooms, and extra bedding will be ready and waiting. What’s more, the house has a washer and dryer, and the 2-car garage and the circular drive ensure that there’s plenty of parking for all your guests.
Then again, if you’re visiting in winter, the snow is probably why. Ski Apache is just over a half-hour drive from Christi and Don’s Nuthouse. Only 10 minutes away is Ruidoso Winter Park, where you can snow tub in winter and soar on a zip line year-round. In warmer weather, you can drive to Alto Lake and Recreation Area in less than 10 minutes; once there you can fish in the stocked lake and explore the surrounding trails on foot, mountain bike, or horseback. And in less than 20 minutes you can drive to the art galleries and shops of Sudderth Drive, the Hubbard Museum of the American West, Billy the Kid Casino, and more.
When you stay at Christ and Don’s Nuthouse, you’ll have a wealth of options at your fingertips. The first order of business, though, is booking your stay. So go ahead, and get ready for your best vacation yet.

We were really excited to stay here! The home has so much potential but it needs some work! We traveled with two small puppies that belong to my mother. Otherwise we're not used to animal dander. The blankets/throws and comforters and we're covered in dog hair and soiled....they we're absolutely filthy. And there was hair inside of the maid beds and linens. It was obvious that the owners stock of linens blankets etc. had not been clean in a while. The carpet in the master closet and downstairs was old and dense with dirt, definitely needed to be replaced. We had a very hard time sleeping due the dander(there was no doubt that previous guest had let their animals sleep on the beds with them and then they were not cleaned ) The hot tub is in the master bedroom. The chlorine tablets from the hot tub were so strong and it could be smelled all throughout the house. Due to the chemicals and the carpet and soiled bedding we did not sleep well at all. I did call housekeeping the first morning and ask if there were other blankets that we could use and was told we would have to wash them on our own however the washer and dryer were stackable's in so tiny they could not accommodate this task so we just dealt with it. The kitchen was not organized whatsoever! And the housekeeping crew has not kept it tidy. We had to move things around just to accommodate a simple pantry. Multiple blenders and coffee makers that did not work. That all needs to be re-organized and restocked. The house seem to be pretty clean things were just shoved and hidden in closets and cubbies. It was not tidy and organized. A tip for the owners: Do away with all of the Dated miss matched linens, blankets and comforters. Splurge on to quality blankets per bedroom, feather down inserts with a white duvet and white linens. Four pillows per bed are preferred. All of the pillows are old and none of them are hypoallergenic. You could purchase all of this from IKEA and make a huge upgrade in your home. If you replaced the dated curtains downstairs with a quality white and the mismatched shower curtain in the master with a white cotton to complement the white towels in the white linens on the bed what a difference that would make! I really appreciated the crisp white towels that were offered and I did notice that the sheets were ironed however their quality was very poor. In your kitchen your plates bowls coffee cups and glasses were fine! But pull out everything else and minimize you only need a handful of pots and pans. You did not own a large skillet and the pots you did have were flaking and need to be thrown away. All of this can be purchased at IKEA and would make this definitely cost-effective. Your outdoor area grounds need to be kept up. Several of your lights on the path were broken although I think that was due to the wild mustangs coming in the yard. There were old carpets and water hoses and random trashy items that were visible from the deck. There was a massive amount of poop from previous guests and lots of trash debris. A little effort and the yard could look so much better. I wish there were someway for you to enclose the hot tub because it is terribly awkward being right in the middle of the master bedroom. I have managed Airbnb's and I own a cleaning company and so I hope that you take my advice and make these changes they would make an enormous difference in your home. You really do have a lovely home with so much potential, it could be so much better and it deserves it! We had a lovely Christmas 22' thank you so much!

Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home. We enjoyed every minute. We usually go, go, go but the home was so comfy we stayed in a lot. The main issue we had was that the bathroom doors didn\'t lock. We made a rule that if the door was shut, don\'t open it and it worked well.
