Description

Surrounded by towering Ponderosa pines, The Great Escape 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 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 Great Escape 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 special 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 on your Instagram page courtesy of the free Wi-Fi. The kitchen features a breakfast bar, abundant workspace, full-size 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 barbecuing 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 Great Escape’s three beautiful bedrooms feature every comfort including luxuriously made beds (a king-size bed in bedrooms one and two and two queen beds in bedroom three), nightstands with reading lamps and ceiling fans. The master bedroom has a flat-screen HDTV and offers easy access to an en suite bathroom with a large shower stall, dual sinks and a separate soaking tub. Two additional bathrooms are well supplied with plenty of fresh towels. The cozy basement game room offers hours of diversion with comfortable seating, a TV and seating area, and a pool. Challenge your friends to a friendly game of pool or horseshoes; afterwards, everyone can retire to the outdoor hot tub for a long soak under the stars!

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