Apache Pines Estate: Your Grand Mountain Escape

Discover Apache Pines Estate—the ultimate luxury retreat nestled in the cool pines of Ruidoso. This sprawling, beautifully remodeled 2917 sq. ft. home offers all the comforts and amenities you need for an unforgettable mountain getaway, with ample space to relax and unwind.

Step into the large, light-filled living room, where floor-to-ceiling windows reveal stunning views of Sierra Blanca, and hand-scraped hardwood floors add rustic elegance. The wood-burning fireplace (firewood is NOT provided) provides a cozy spot to gather on cool mountain evenings, while central heat and air conditioning ensure comfort all year long.

Outside, relax in the private hot tub on the side deck, surrounded by breathtaking forest views and fresh mountain air. And no need to leave your furry friends behind—Apache Pines Estate is dog-friendly, welcoming your four-legged family members!

This luxury home includes two master suites for added comfort, plus a bonus bedroom off the living room, perfect for extra guests. Sitting on a private 2.5-acre lot east of the Texas Club restaurant, the property offers a sense of seclusion while still being close to all that Ruidoso has to offer. With easy, level entry and covered parking, Apache Pines Estate is the perfect mountain escape to make your next vacation truly special.

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. Plan a day basking in the stillness of our national forest while hiking, biking, or fishing, golfing at one of our multiple golf courses or spend a fun night out on the town at one of the area's local attractions! 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.

Family Weekend
When we arrived the code didn’t work, so we had to call to be able to get in. There was a dead deer in the backyard and when we called the property manager we were told to call the game warden to be passed to another agency to call then to be asked to drag the deer to the street, so it could be picked up. The carpet is badly soiled, there were cob webs throughout the house and the kitchen cabinets were sticky and grimey. The shower in the hall way didn’t work at, as when you tried turning on the water the handle just spun around and the water would not come on. This is a really neat property, but could use some updates.

Poorly mismanaged
I arrived early so I called the management at hummingbird rental to see if I could check in early, I was told that I couldn’t because the inspection has not been done on the property, so I checked in at the normal time after checking in I found that the middle bathroom shower and tub was not working also my grandkids tried to play on the basketball court we had to throw there clothes away because the back area was so grown with weeds I called management they dsent a guy that told me they could not fix the middle bathroom because it was on the weekend and the weeds were not taken care of so the outside area was not able to be used at all

very roomy and comfortable. the carpet stains throughout the house were too much and made the house feel not as clean. the kitchen floor also needs a deep cleaning. as much as the cleaning fees are they should be applied and used to clean or replace the carpet. one of the dining chairs has a lose leg and wiggles a lot. my elderly father tried sitting and made the rest of us uncomfortable and scared he was going to fall off the chair.

Disappointed
This property has the potential to be a premium place to stay. The carpets are very heavily soiled, the windows (and they are large and offer good sight lines) are very dirty. The microwave doesn’t work properly. One sink faucet was missing a handle. The decks were not clean and the hot tub was so milky we would not use it. The management company has obviously had some really bad experience with guests because their communication was curt and not guest friendly. The two couples that booked this property are seniors and that respect their own personal property and that of others ….. we were disappointed with the overall experience.

Fun Birthday get away
What an awesome place. Some parts of the home are dated such as the carpet with some stains and some cracks in the bar top, but this had no damper on our stay. The hot tub was over chlorinated and was causing black marks from the seat pillows. They got on our bodies and made black marks on the tub. I called the property manager about the problem and she was very helpful. We left the cover off for a while and the smell of Chlorine was better and the hot tub was enjoyed by all. The property was beautiful. Loved the deer and elk that could be seen in the morning and evenings. Enjoyed the sound of the wind blowing through the pine trees too. Very enjoyable visit and would love to come back some day.
