PLEASE SEE UPDATE BELOW BEFORE BOOKING Relax with the whole family at Vista Bella, a 1450 sq ft cozy mountain retreat on an acre of land. Enjoy breathtaking unobstructed mountain views from the back deck and almost every room of the house by day while snuggling up to a heated electric fireplace, or enjoying a soak in the hot tub at night. Enjoy a meal outside on the expansive covered back patio while watching for wildlife down the hill. We ask that you are respectful of our strict NO PET policy. Vista Bella is a stunning brand new 3-bedroom, 2 bathroom house that sleeps up to 8 guests with a maximum of 6 adults. Guests will enjoy sleeping on a king size bed in the master bedroom with towering French doors leading to the back patio. A private ensuite master bathroom with dual-sinks and spacious walk-in shower provide a spa-like feel. The remaining 2 bedrooms feature a split floor plan on the opposite end of the house with additional bathroom. The kiddos will love waking up to the mountain views from the floor to ceiling windows when sleeping on the murphy bunk beds in the living room. The well-stocked open-kitchen design allows you to enjoy the scenery while cooking a grand meal for a holiday, or making a cup of coffee from the Keurig. Vista Bella is located in a quiet and safe golf course neighborhood about 30 minutes from Ski Apache, 1 hour from Cloudcroft, and 10 minutes from the cute shops in downtown Ruidoso. Your peaceful serenity awaits! (And trust me...you won't want to leave!) Entire house including garage and hot tub. We do not live locally but have various local folks on call to address any concerns as needed. We are always available via the AirBNB app. Quiet hillside neighborhood with a mix of single family and condo units. Home has a private back deck area which is not viewable from the surrounding units. UPDATED 1/26/24: Unfortunately, a new house is under construction on the lot next door to ours. It does not obstruct our main mountain view; however, it is farther down the hill from our house so it is in the line of sight off to the left from the back deck. We cannot guarantee if and/or how much noise disturbance you may experience. The new house is about 75 feet away from ours, edge of house to edge of house. Building tends to move pretty slow in Ruidoso with extended periods of inactivity so we believe it will be hit and miss as to whether a particular guest will be present during construction activity. Because of this we have reduced our typical minimum nightly rate until construction is complete. So far, our guests have not experienced disturbances and the house is currently completely framed so work should be focused on the interior in the near future. Our goal is to be the perfect home away from home with all the necessities any guest would need for a truly comfortable stay (extra towels, linens, heavy blankets, pillows, toilet paper, paper towels, hand and body soap, shampoo and conditioner, dish and clothes washer tabs, dryer sheets, vacuum and cleaning supplies, trash bags, first aid kit, hair dryer and curling iron, ironing board and iron, coffee, and all the kitchen essentials for cooking at home). We've stayed at many vacation rentals over the years and have tried our very best to incorporate everything we needed and loved about those stays to bring that into one place! We absolutely want to know if there was anything you wish we provided during your stay! Full disclosure on the cleaning fee. $195 is what we pay the cleaning company who provides us extremely reliable service. We do not pocket any of the cleaning fees. We also do not have required checkout instructions; we just request dirty dishes be placed in the dishwasher and the kitchen trash taken to the dumpster to avoid odors in the house if we don't have back to back bookings. You're paying a cleaning fee so we do not believe guests should be burdened by extensive checkout requirements.
