Surrounded by towering Ponderosa pines, The Painted Horse Retreat brings you one step closer to paradise! Combining luxury with rustic charm, this peaceful three-bedroom, three-bathroom mountain retreat is located right in the middle of an area that's loaded with opportunities for nature lovers, from hitting the slopes at nearby Ski Apache to fishing, hiking, biking, or horseback riding in Alto Lake and Recreation Area. Just a short drive away, the Inn of the Mountain Gods casino resort offers endless options for entertainment, while Ruidoso Downs Racetrack features horse racing during the summer months. Ruidoso Winter Park offers snow tubing in the winter months and zip-lining year-round. For the golf enthusiast, the Links at Sierra Blanca is practically in your backyard. And less than half an hour away, Fort Stanton-Snowy River Cave National Conservation Area, the Hubbard Museum of the American West, the art galleries and artisan shops of Sudderth Drive, and Grindstone Lake and Trail System offer even more fun diversions.

On the outside, The Painted Horse Retreat is a rustic mountain home, but inside is a haven of comfort and style. With wood floors, viga-beamed ceilings, lots of light, and luxurious little touches everywhere, this mountain retreat is anything but rustic! After a day's adventuring, curl up by the fire on the comfortable leather living room furniture to enjoy a movie on the smart cable HDTV, or make your friends jealous by posting amazing photos courtesy of the free Wi-Fi. The kitchen features a breakfast bar, abundant workspace, full-sized appliances and everything you need to whip up anything from a simple snack to a lavish brunch. Gather at the dining table for a family meal or board game or, if grilling is more your thing, the spacious, covered deck is the perfect place to do it, thanks to a gas grill and plenty of seating from which you can relax and enjoy the wooded view.

With room to sleep 10, The Painted Horse Retreat’s three comfortable bedrooms feature every comfort, including luxuriously made-up beds (a king-size bed in bedrooms one and two and two full-size beds in bedroom three), nightstands with reading lamps and ceiling fans. All three bedrooms house flat-screen HDTVs and easy access to en suite bathrooms well supplied with plenty of fresh towels. Plus, the cozy basement game room offers hours of diversion with comfortable seating, another TV and seating area, and a pool table. Challenge your friends to a friendly game of pool; afterwards, winners and losers alike can retire to the outdoor hot tub for a long soak under the stars!

With something for everyone, The Painted Horse Retreat is the perfect place to experience everything New Mexico has to offer…reserve your spot today!

There is a fenced in yard for your four legged friend. Pets Allowed. Note: During winter months a four wheel drive or chains on a two wheel drive may be required.

Stunning views, awesome location! The house was mostly clean. A few things that need updating/fixing a small hole in the wall, a couple of tiles falling off (not ideal as we had a baby and toddler crawling and walking around) blinds not working and batteries not working. The fridge was also a little stinky. Overall these things didn’t really affect our stay and we are 100% looking to book again in the future!

We loved this property! The morning view was beautiful of the mountains, it was close to all you wanted to do. In the evenings you could hear the live music from the deck. We will be back!
