Little Creek Retreat
Where you'll be
Description
The huge rear deck of the four-bedroom home is just as restful. Sip your morning coffee at one of the tables as hummingbirds flutter and trill and the breeze rustles through the Ponderosa pines covering the hillside. There’s more than enough room for everyone to enjoy alfresco dinners, as well as a gas grill for cooking up fresh trout you reeled in yourself or steaks from a nearby market. Should the temperatures drop, turn on the patio heater so that you can continue admiring the star-studded sky. Even better, luxuriate in the deck’s hot tub; it’s a perfect way to end a perfect day.
Little Creek Retreat’s charms extend to its interior. The living room’s velvety sectional sofa invites the whole gang to pile on and watch a movie on the flat-screen TV with cable. In winter, after a day on the slopes, everyone can gather around the stone-surround fireplace; its golden glow will show off the wood-planked ceiling and floor to perfection.
When you’re not dining on the deck—or at a nearby restaurant—gather around Little Creek Retreat’s spacious dining table or cozy kitchen table. If you’re vacationing with another family, the kids can eat in the sunny kitchen nook while the adults indulge in a more leisurely meal in the dining room. There’s a breakfast bar as well, perfect for surfing the web on your laptop (Little Creek Retreat has free Wi-Fi).
The breakfast bar is also a handy place for friends to perch while they help with meal prep. It provides extra counter space too, though Little Creek Retreat’s kitchen is so roomy, there’s plenty of surface space without it. Along with a full array of appliances, cookware, and tableware, the kitchen has a convenient island and generous storage. You’ll be able to prepare a Thanksgiving feast with the same ease as a midnight snack.
Little Creek Retreat can sleep up to 10 people—and as many as three pets!—in its four bedrooms. With a king-size bed, large flat-screen TV and lush chairs you’ll love nestling in with a good book, the primary suite is a retreat within a retreat. Its private bathroom includes both a walk-in shower and a huge soaking tub, plus twin sinks. Two other bedrooms each have a queen-size bed. The 4th bedroom, with a pair of queen beds, can sleep four people. It’s perfect for parents who want to be in the same room as their little ones or for kids who want to transform the room into their private clubhouse.
The house has two additional full bathrooms, plus a washer and dryer. When you arrive at Little Creek Retreat you’ll find all the beds beautifully made up, plenty of clean towels for all three bathrooms, and extra bedding ready and waiting. What’s more, the house has a large garage and an even larger driveway, so parking is no problem.
Little Creek Retreat is located in Alto, an upscale community just outside of Ruidoso. In less than 10 minutes you can drive to Alto Lake and Recreation Area, where you can fish, hike and ride horses or mountain bikes, and to Ruidoso Winter Park, where you can snow tube in winter and soar on a zip line year-round. The Links at Sierra Blanca golf course is only a 10-minute drive from the house. In less than a half-hour you can drive to the Hubbard Museum of the American West, Ruidoso Downs, casinos, art galleries, and shops and Ski Apache is just a half-hour away.
When you stay at Little Creek Retreat, everything you want from a Sierra Blanca vacation is practically at your doorstep. See for yourself: Reserve your stay today! 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. 4x4 or chains may be necessary to access the home during winter months. Maximum 4 vehicles.

Overall, the property was nice. It is in front of a small creek and backs up to a large hill. There are deer very close and visible throughout the day, and we even saw a few elk. The weather was very nice and we enjoyed being outside. The local management company was very nice upon check in/check out and with some issues we encountered. Pros: House is large. Our party of 9 was comfortable in the home and we didn't feel crowded. Adequate towels for all guests and access to laundry. We appreciated this greatly. Extremely large Master bathroom. My parents LOVED the size. Location- very pretty area. Off the main road and it's very quiet throughout the day and evenings. Management company- The after hours maintenance man did his best to remotely help us try to restore cable/internet. The "desk agents"(?) we encountered upon check in/check out were very nice. Yard- The fenced front yard was very nice & my chihuahua enjoyed it very much. Cons: When we arrived the front door was unlocked and partially open. When we arrived there was no cable/internet. Apparently the owner had coordinated for the services to be installed the next day, but no one communicated that to us. We were very surprised (but thankful) when the technician knocked on the door at 8 am the following morning. Water pressure- actual joke. If you are doing dishes and someone flushes (in any part of the home) say goodbye to water pressure for at least 10 mins. The downstairs shower would spontaneously bounce between great pressure and a trickle. Beds- Beds were horrible. Extremely, extremely hard. One frame was broken when we arrived (middle row of supports) forcing us to crash on the couch. Breed restrictions- As it is every property's right to have them, they should be clearly stated in the listing for the home. This is only stated in the rental agreement you have to sign.

This property is an older home but it’s been updated and kept up well. There were a few minor things such as knobs falling off and the gate was broken when we got there so had to walk around the fence to get in, but I’m guessing management wasn’t aware of it. The house is super comfortable and warm and the gas fireplace is nice. Lots of parking too. They could use some more living room seating considering the house sleeps 10. There’s a comfortable sectional but the only other seating is a bench that no one would actually sit on. The kitchen could be a little better stocked. We made thanksgiving dinner there but if you were making regular meals it would be ok. Wildlife is around and nice houses/people in the neighborhood. The only drawback to the location is there were storage buildings built right in front of the house. I’m sure the property owners were unhappy about that but had no control over it. Over all we had a great stay!
