Chelsea House: Your Mountain Solitude Awaits

Immerse yourself in solitude with a stay at Chelsea House, a hidden gem offering privacy, comfort, and breathtaking Sierra Blanca views. Enjoy the beauty surrounding this spacious 3-bedroom, 1800 sq. ft. retreat.

The open floor plan of Chelsea House is perfect for gathering family and friends. Cozy up in the living room for movie night on the flat-screen TV, or cook up a feast in the fully equipped, roomy kitchen. Each bedroom offers its own nook of privacy, ideal for catching up on a good book from the owners' carefully curated collection.

Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood yet minutes from downtown Ruidoso, Chelsea House provides the best of both worlds: seclusion and convenience. With central air conditioning for summer comfort, this mountain charmer is ready to welcome you any time of year. Book your stay today and unwind in the warmth and beauty of Chelsea House!

Ruidoso, Alto, and surrounding areas: Submerse yourself within the towering pines of Lincoln County and watch local wildlife such as elk, deer, wild horses, turkey, birds, and more in their natural habitats. Plan a day basking in the stillness of our national forest while hiking, biking, or fishing, golfing at one of our multiple golf courses or spend a fun night out on the town at one of the area's local attractions! Be sure to swim or fish at the beautiful Grindstone or Alto Lake, delight your senses at Winter Park with roller coaster and tubing, and explore the ski slopes and hiking trails throughout Ski Apache. Win big at one of our three local casinos and enjoy the excitement of live quarter horse racing at Ruidoso Downs Racetrack. Be happy you took a respite from the concrete jungle. Come relax and refresh with us!

Beautiful and Quiet

We had a wonderful time at and around this beautiful property. It was so nice to sit on the back porch and look out at the beautiful mountains as afternoon thunder storms rolled through. The hot tub felt awesome after our long days and adventures around town. We felt very comfortable here. Can’t wait to come back!
