King Arthur's Castle: Feel Like Royalty

PLEASE NOTE: The master bedroom's fireplace is not for guest use.

Welcome to King Arthur's Castle, a stunning 1,824 sq. ft. home perched on a hill, offering breathtaking views of the entire village of Ruidoso. This charming retreat is designed to make you feel like royalty as you relax on the expansive front deck, soaking in the stunning scenery and fresh mountain air.

Inside, you'll find beautifully renovated flooring and a warm, spacious living area adorned with rustic yet modern furnishings while you cozy up to the wood-burning fireplace (firewood is NOT provided). Each bedroom is equipped with new TVs for your entertainment, ensuring everyone can unwind in style. The standout feature is the incredible loft-style master suite, complete with an en-suite bathroom for ultimate privacy and comfort.

The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to whip up delicious meals, or you can take your culinary skills outdoors and grill while enjoying the picturesque surroundings. Don't forget to check out the captivating views of Midtown and the Inn of the Mountain Gods from the front deck!

For the ultimate relaxation, sink into the hot tub on the back deck, where you can soak away your cares under the stars. If you're looking for a vacation home that combines modern amenities with the rustic charm of a "cabin in the woods," your search ends here at King Arthur's Castle. Create unforgettable memories in this enchanting mountain getaway!

King Arthur's Castle is located 3 doors down from Casa delle Sorelle and less than 1 mile from Texas Gambler for larger group accommodations.

PLEASE NOTE: King Arthur's has 2 window AC units: one upstairs and one downstairs for the summer months.

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.

King Arthur’s Castle was a lovely place to stay — clean, comfortable, and perfect for our group of six. The views are absolutely amazing, and the amenities made everything easy and enjoyable. It truly felt like a special getaway.Two things worth noting: there are quite a few stairs to access the house, so pack accordingly, and the upstairs master is huge and beautiful but loft-style, so it does not have a door for full privacy.We would definitely return and highly recommend it!
