'Red House' Alhambra with hot tub!

Alhambra: Red House Retreat

Welcome to Alhambra, affectionately known as the "Red House," where you can relax and rejuvenate amid the tall pines and refreshing breezes of Ruidoso. Unwind year-round in the private hot tub, soaking in the peacefulness of the wooded Upper Canyon. This stunning 2-level, 1900 sq. ft. cabin offers both comfort and luxury with open and covered decks, perfect for grilling meals on the propane grill (propane is provided) while savoring the mountain air.

Inside, the main level features a restful master bedroom with a king-sized bed and a private bath with a tub/shower combination—everything you need for ultimate comfort without leaving your room. Upstairs, your guests can enjoy two cozy bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with two queen beds, ensuring everyone sleeps in style.

The spacious living room boasts an open floor plan, ideal for gathering around the gas fireplace for a family game night or simply relaxing. Need extra space? There's a queen-sized sleeper sofa for added comfort. Sneak away to the loft area to catch up on a good book while enjoying breathtaking mountain views.

With just two steps leading onto the large front deck from the paved parking area, Alhambra offers both accessibility and comfort. Plus, central heating and air conditioning ensure your stay is perfect year-round. Reserve your spot today and experience the charm of the BIG RED HOUSE: Alhambra!

Ruidoso, Alto, and surrounding areas: Submerse yourself within the towering pines of Lincoln County and watch local wildlife such as elk, deer, wild horses, turkey, birds, and more in their natural habitats.

Be sure to swim or fish at the beautiful Grindstone or Alto Lake, delight your senses at Winter Park with roller coaster and tubing, and explore the ski slopes and hiking trails throughout Ski Apache. Win big at one of our three local casinos and enjoy the excitement of live quarter horse racing at Ruidoso Downs Racetrack. Be happy you took a respite from the concrete jungle.

Relatively happy
Nice place and great location. Dishes are nasty and old and unsafe. Need to be replaced. Downstairs toilet barely flushed and upstairs toilet never did. Great bones but terrible upkeep. Even the cover to the hot tub is completely crumbling. I think it's a great house but a small amount of reconditioning would go a long way.

It is a nice house but really could use some updating. One of the reasons we chose this house over others was the size and also the hot tub, but we did not trust getting in and out of the hot tub due to the steps being broken and the stability of the porch it sat on not looking secure. We did enjoy the fireplace and the scenery. Again, updates throughout and some repairs would make this an amazing home.

Roomy cabin
Great property, good location but very steep and curvy road. You will need 4 wheel drive and chains in the winter. Cable tv very limited channels. Hot tub has a leak per technician who came out but was useable after he filled it. I would rent again if they fix the hot tub.

red house
Nice house, we enjoyed our stay, especially all the wildlife; but part of the front and side decks need repair/replacement and the hot tub steps should be disposed of, they are dangerous! The ceiling fan in the upstairs master bdrm. is on high with no way to adjust. The coffee maker needs to be replaced, it takes 25 minutes for a pot of coffee!

Relaxing Stay
Our family had a wonderful stay at this house. The check in and check out process was very simple. Everything met our expectations. Could the house stand some upgrades? Sure. The beds were quite hard and the deck could use some work. None of these things are remotely a deal breaker for us nor do they detract from my rating. We also had a bit of a run in with a bear that decided to check out the grill. The property folks were very understanding and quick to respond. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely recommend as well as rent from them again!

The property is in a nice quiet area, deer and horses visit often…the house needs some exterior cleaning but is very good location for easy access to Ruidoso or surrounding area. I would suggest replacing carpet and some touch ups on the interior. We enjoyed our stay!

Birthday weekend
Really enjoyed the overall coziness of the living room, but spent most of the time on deck area enjoying the views! We were lucky to have perfect weather during our stay. My only criticism would be stained carpets upstairs. And even though we didn’t use the hot tub, the steps for it were in bad shape. Overall our experience at the cabin was great!

This property was just what we needed for a girls weekend. Coffee on the patio in the morning was the perfect way to start our day. The cabin was the perfect size where we can all cook dinner and still have time to yourself. Its clean and spacious and the hot tub is a great way to wind down. I would recommend this for time with family or friends

The house is very beautiful. Our trip was primarily to just relax. We enjoyed sitting on the deck. The upstairs is warm, but with opening the sliding glass doors, it was comfortable. The host was quick to respond when we needed them. The neighbors across the street are very friendly. We definitely plan on returning.
