Located in Ruidoso, this welcoming cottage brings it all within your reach. Thanks to the convenient onsite parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 9-minute walk to Grindstone Lake, or easily tackle the quick 5-minute drive to The Links at Sierra Blanca.

This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom rental features a living room, a BBQ grill, a fireplace, and air conditioning. Enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and video-game console. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as a coffee maker, an ice maker, and a microwave.
