An awesome place for a recharge! We enjoy offering a variety of meal options as well as on the ground horse experiences tailored to your abilities and desire.
The casita is stocked with complimentary coffee, tea, hot chocolate and drinks. We are within ½ hour from Ruidoso’s many attractions, Old Lincoln’s historic sites, beautiful hiking spots or simply stay on property to revive and restore.

Cozy Accommodations
We enjoyed the nice, quiet accommodations- nice view with very comfortable outdoor furniture. Host directions were spot on and getting in and out of the property was very easy! Great location to explore Lincoln NM and Fort Stanton!! Easy drive to Ruidoso!

Beautiful, quiet and relaxing.
June 14 - 16 2024: Melissa hosts a special, peaceful spot. It is as attractive to stay put and enjoy the immediate surroundings as it is to take shorter excursions. This location is a short drive to Ruidoso and other historic and scenic attractions in this part of New Mexico. The horses are beautiful. The accommodations were nice and cozy. Nothing distracted from the country ranch setting. My wife and I can very much recommend this destination. It's a well deserved 5 stars.

Great place, Melissa is a wonderful host. Beautiful scenery, and meeting the horse, dogs and Melli on the property were highlights. The casita is perfect, and really feels like a home away from home. I enjoyed my stay here and will be coming back.

This place is exactly what I was looking for, peace and quiet surrounded by beautiful country. The host is very friendly, polite and accommodating. The casita is clean and well put together. The night sky is incredible! Perfect place to unplug and explore the Lincoln National Forest. Highly recommend.

Beautiful and quiet property tucked in the hills of Hondo. The only reason I Icouldn't give it 5 stars is the very tiny shower. Stayed labor day weekend. We wanted to be around Ruidoso but because of the racing that weekend everything was crowded. This place was perfect, close enough for a short drive in but far enough to be out of the chaos.

Quiet, relaxing, valley stay
Amazing stay in the Hondo valley. Quick overnight stop but enjoyed quick hike behind property, meeting the animals, wonderful views of the valley. The small cottage was perfect size for 2 people with all the amenities we needed for our stay. Look forward to staying again on my next trip to Ruidoso!

Great Place to Stay
If you are looking for a nice little get away this is the perfect little place. The place is cozy with a nice view. My favorite part was being around the animals on the property. There are 3 horses, one donkey and 3 dogs. Olivia

Peaceful Stay / Starry Night
Perfect stay for a couples getaway. Very beautiful view. Super clean with lots of hospitality from our host. Casita has homey touches with plenty of space for belongings. Away from the highway noise and crowd in Ruidoso, but not too far for a quick trip into town. Not hard to find at all. Looking forward to returning soon.

Perfect for couples!
This casita although small was beautiful! Everything from the bedding, decor, right down to all the quaint containers she used for our breakfast. Only about a 25 minute drive from Ruidoso. We were in the country where it was peaceful but still close to Al the tourist stuff! Our host was great! Set up a great dinner reservation for us in Tinnie. She communicated with us in a quick manner and was super friendly. My husband and I loved this little place!
