Hillside Haven w/ Deck < 2 Miles to Dwtn Ruidoso!

Delve into the rich culture of Ruidoso while enjoying amazing views at ‘Piney Woods West,’ a 2-bed, 1-bath vacation rental home! Offering tranquil Sierra Blanca views, this hillside haven features sleeping arrangements, cozy furnishings, and a furnished deck. With the quaint shops of town just 5 minutes away, plus Ruidoso Downs Race Track & Casino and Ski Apache within a short drive, this charming getaway is the perfect retreat for friends and family who want to explore the great southwest!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed

Discover 'Piney Woods West' nestled aside a mountain road and perched on a high curve. From the furnished deck you can't see any neighboring properties, which gives this home a private outdoor space!

Built in 2001, the property offers all the comforts of home throughout 1,064 square feet of living space. After a long day of explorations, find a cozy seat in the living room and pop a movie onto the flat-screen satellite TV.

With an open floor concept, the living room flows seamlessly into the fully equipped kitchen! Effortlessly whip up your favorite dishes before gathering at the 4-person table or patio furniture for a quality meal.

When you're in need of some peace and quiet, retreat to either bedroom's plush queen bed for a tranquil slumber. Linens and towels are provided during your stay, so you don't have to worry about bringing them along!

-- THE LOCATION --

This home's fantastic central location places you just 5 minutes from the Village of Ruidoso, home to several local shops, antique stores, and more. Local favorites include Tall Pines Wine and Beer Garden, Hall of Flame Burgers, and Hidden Tap.

Less than 20 minutes from the home is Lotza Stuff Flea Market, as well as The Hubbard Museum of the American West. If you're feeling lucky, make your way to the Ruidoso Downs Race Track & Casino or Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino to win a few bucks!

To immerse yourself in nature, head over to Grindstone Lake, Two Rivers Ruidoso River Park, or the Fort Stanton-Snowy River Cave National Conservation Area. Ski Apache is less than an hour away, offering zip lining in the summer and skiing in the winter!

The house itself is in great shape! Everything we needed was there and more. Although the house is only a 2 bed/1 bath it doesn’t feel small, very roomy and in a great scenic location. Only thing to keep in mind is the driveway is steep so beware. Highly recommend staying here!

Nice Vacation Rental

It's a good place to stay to relax. We enjoyed the covered deck and the books to read. The driveway is a bit too steep, but the online description was accurate, so we were not disappointed.

Great Little Getaway

We checked in mid-week & the house was cute & very clean! It is in a very quiet neighborhood with lots of deer & elk roaming around! (Extra fun for my kids to see!) I would highly recommend this home to anyone who's looking for a mountain home to rent.

Wonderful stay! Great host

We decided last minute to get away for the weekend. We are so glad we did! The house was great. Super cozy and very clean. House is conveniently located. Although there were other houses around, it seemed very private and quiet. If you’re looking to get away Highly recommend! Margie was a great host!

An Awesome Getaway

The owners of Piney Woods West were very friendly and helpful in answering all our questions in a timely manner. The house had everything we needed and was very roomy, comfortable and clean.

Incredible Mountaintop Home

Extremely clean, calming wonderfully decorated home with incredible views of Ruidoso’s mountains. Mornings on the front porch watching the sun come out were rivaled only by evenings watching the infinity of the night sky. The home has wonderful features inside and out that made for a wonderful early summer stay. The owners were wonderful to work with, and made sure that our stay met every expectation. Can’t wait to come back!

Great comfy, clean house

My family and I stayed over the weekend and we really loved the house very nice, comfortable and what I liked the most very clean. The house has nice personal details in its decor and that is something we appreciated. We also liked that it had everything, from pots and pans to extra blankets and pillows. Truly enjoyed our stay, it has a great view into the mountains and some deer were around, it was nice to see them upclose. Highly recommended.

Awesome Home

This home is so inviting! We enjoyed playing cards and having meals on the patio where the view is amazing. We liked opening the windows inside to the let the fresh air in while we watched playoff hockey. This home had everything needed and was our central place from the activities we had planned. We enjoyed it very much!

Wonderful!

The pictures on the Web site don't do this beautiful home justice. The location, tree filled lot, views, and privacy were fabulous. The home was very clean and extremely well appointed. All spaces were very generous and comfortable. And the home was well stocked with everything you might need in a home away from home. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you for the care and comforts you provided for us during our stay.
