The Space:
Stargazer, as the name implies is all about the views of the outdoors. Perched high in the scenic Upper Canyon of Ruidoso sits this magnificent historic lodge.

Modern convenience and rustic mountain living come together at Stargazer. This tastefully decorated getaway is located on a secluded street. Everything about this home is devoted to bringing nature’s splendor into your living spaces. You’ll especially enjoy the two huge decks where you can sit and listen to the gentle rustle of the pines while watching hummingbirds buzz and deer frolic.

When you arrive at Stargazer, you’ll find plenty of parking for your group. Please note it is a steep paved driveway to access the cabin. In the winter this can be difficult to traverse. We plow and salt often but 4 WD and/or tire chains is reccomended when it snows. There are stairs up to the massive cedar beamed covered deck where you will find generous seating for your group to enjoy the overlook and give you a front-row seat on the forest.

A huge stone wood-burning fireplace anchors your great room. How fun it will be to listen to a crackling fire while you lounge in wonderfully comfortable couches and armchairs. Expansive windows bring the forest’s green and the sky’s blue in to complete the space. A sixty inch TV is tucked in the corner for your enjoyment. It’s fun to gather your group to watch a favorite show while you munch on popcorn. You also have free Internet within Stargazer so you can stay in touch with friends back home.

There is a table and chairs and a gas grill on the second large deck so you can enjoy a meal outdoors any time you want. Food tastes its best in the great outdoors. You also have a secluded and covered Hot Tub adjacent to this space for star gazing while enjoying the warmth and relaxation of the swirling water.

When you’re back from skiing, hiking, golfing, or checking out nearby scenic attractions, you’ll soon sense the need for a good night’s sleep. Your master bedroom is the ideal retreat, a true private sanctuary. In addition to a king-sized bed, you have nightstands with reading lamps and a fifty five inch TV on the wall that’s perfectly placed for late-night viewing. Before you slip off to dreamland, take a moment to step out on the walkway through your private doorway and listen to the sounds of night in the forest. What a peaceful way to end your day.

One guest room includes a king-sized bed and a private TV. The second guest room has a large bunk bed which is comprised of a queen, full, and a Trundle. Stargazer also has a sleeper sofa. Your guests will love the rustic cedar décor in the rooms and throughout Star Gazer. The entire house is air-conditioned for comfort in summer.

Star Gazer has two bathrooms, which is a convenience you and your guests will appreciate. A second bathroom cuts down on the wait for a turn in the shower. Before you know it, you’ll all be out on the deck enjoying a hot cup of coffee. The second bathroom also houses the Stargazer washer and dryer. No matter how dirty your gang gets out on the slopes or hiking, you’ll be able to keep them in clean clothes.

It’s hard to imagine a more perfect vacation destination than Stargazer. Please remember that Ruidoso is a mountain town with snow and icy conditions during the winter. This can affect driving and parking conditions regardless of the property, driveway, or roads.
