There’s a reason this charming, three-bedroom home is named Vista Bonita (“beautiful view” in Spanish) – the towering trees and breathtaking mountain scape make it almost impossible to believe you are so close to the quaint village of Ruidoso, New Mexico! But fabulous restaurants, unique shops and fascinating art galleries are indeed just minutes away. Plus, the area surrounding this comfortable private home is loaded with opportunities for outdoor adventurers of every taste, from skiing at the nearby Ski Apache resort to hiking and mountain biking in Lincoln National Forest. During the summer, Ruidoso Downs Racetrack features horse racing while, northeast of the village, history buffs can enjoy exploring the 19th century adobe and stone buildings and the museum of the Lincoln Historic Site.

Recently updated, with hardwood floors throughout and breathtaking mountain & woodland views from every angle, Vista Bonita has so much to offer a family or group of friends vacationing together. An open floor plan living area invites you to relax with comfortable furniture, a gorgeous wood-burning fireplace perfect for chasing away the chill after a day on the slopes, and a smart HDTV. Fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, Vista Bonita’s beautiful kitchen is stocked with all the cookware, gadgets and dishes you could want to make and serve your favorite meals, while the gleaming granite countertops provide ample room for prep. Brew a pot of coffee or mix up some frozen cocktails in the blender to enjoy out on the spacious deck…with the beautiful scenery all around, you’re sure to spend much of your trip relaxing there! Enjoy a meal prepared on the gas grill while you take in the peaceful atmosphere. Day or night, the New Mexico sky is always beautiful in any weather. A hot tub is a great place to enjoy it while you ease the ache of muscles tired from a day of hiking in the nearby forests.

Does your group include two couples traveling together? There is no need to flip a coin over who gets the primary bedroom when you stay at Vista Bonita! The primary bedroom and the third bedroom are both furnished with luxurious king-size beds and en suite bathrooms containing a spacious walk-in shower and granite-topped vanity and Smart TVs. The primary bedroom features balcony access offering a spectacular view of Sierra Blanca. Bedroom two is exactly right for the kids, who will love the summer camp atmosphere provided by the twin-size beds and their own Smart TV. The separate full-size bathroom with shower/tub combo and granite-topped vanity means no waiting in line to shower in the mornings. You can get started on the day’s adventures faster!

From AC and multiple ceiling fans to keep you cool to a washer and dryer that negate the need to locate a laundromat or overpack to plenty of fresh towels and linens, Vista Bonita is all about comfort, convenience, and beauty.
