High Mesa Escape

Nature’s splendor is just outside your doorstep at this three-bedroom home. High Mesa Escape rests on a large property, lush with trees. As you greet the day from the balcony or dine al fresco in the backyard during the warm-weather months, the trilling of hummingbirds and the mountain breeze rustling through the leaves make for an unforgettable soundscape.

In winter the snow that blankets the spacious lawn will sparkle in the sunshine and the moonlight alike. What’s more, the home is only five minutes from the fishing, hiking, and biking of Alto Lake and Recreation Area and 35 minutes from Ski Apache. Yet it is also close to the galleries, shops, casinos, and other more-urbane attractions of Ruidoso.

High Mesa Escape sleeps eight people, but you can easily entertain twice as many in its great room. The sitting area has plenty of well-cushioned seating so that everyone can kick back to watch a movie on the flat-screen TV. The stone-surround fireplace makes this space especially inviting after a day of snow tubing at nearby Ruidoso Winter Park. The great room also features one of the two indoor dining areas; its table is ideal for poker night or a Monopoly marathon. If a round of pool is more your game, head to the full-size billiard table near the rear of the great room.

Just beyond the great room are the kitchen and the second dining area. Though High Mesa Escape is close to numerous restaurants, once you see the spacious, fabulously equipped kitchen you might want to cook at least a few meals yourself. Along with appliances, cookware, tableware, and plenty of counter space and elbow room, the kitchen boasts generous storage. You’ll be able to stock up on a week’s worth of groceries at the beginning of your stay, rather than have to waste precious vacation time making daily stops at the supermarket. You can cook outdoors as well, on the patio’s gas grill.

The primary suite of High Mesa Escape is a retreat in and of itself. The four-poster king-size bed overlooks the backyard. Sliding glass doors open onto a balcony; you and your sweetheart can savor a romantic nightcap out here beneath the twinkling stars before turning in. The bedroom has its own fireplace too, along with a flat-screen TV. The adjoining primary bathroom includes dual sinks, a combination shower/tub and loads of storage.

The second and third bedrooms each have a queen-size bed and a TV, making High Mesa Escape as well suited for several couples as it is for a family. The second bedroom, like the primary, opens onto the balcony. These bedrooms share the second bathroom, which like the primary has a combo shower/tub and twin sinks. Should you have additional guests, a sofa opens into another bed for two.

When you arrive at High Mesa Escape you’ll find the beds already made up, plenty of clean towels in the bathrooms and extra bedding at the ready—no need to bring your own. In fact, because the house has its own full-size washer and dryer, you can pack lighter than usual.

Whether you’re in town for skiing and snowboarding, for hiking and mountain biking, for fishing and golfing, or for shopping and gallery-hopping, you’ll love the comfort, convenience, and laid-back living that High Mesa Escape has to offer. Book your stay today, and get ready to relax Ruidoso style.

Please remember that Ruidoso is a mountain town with snow and icy conditions during the winter. This can affect driving and parking conditions regardless of the property, driveway or roads.
