Quiet Getaway in the Mountains

We enjoyed our stay. Our younger family members had fun exploring, seeing all the animals & playing in the beautiful backyard. The adults enjoyed the cool mountain air of the mornings & coffee on the patio. A great weekend to "unplug" & spend time with family!!

Peaceful unique property. Perfect for larger groups

This was such a great and memorable place to stay during Christmas! We had a total of 11 people in our group and it comfortably accommodated all of us. We enjoyed the wildlife early in the mornings and were able to catch the peacocks during the day. We would definitely consider this property again in the furture!

Christmas Vacation

We had a very nice Christmas Vacation with the whole family. There was plenty of room for the 11 of of us. We enjoyed the games available, the beautiful decorations (thank you Becca) and the wildlife. Along with the resident peacocks we were visited by wild boar, turkey, and a pair of mountain goats. We would definitely go back. Things are a little dated but that is part of the charm. My grandchildren thought the place had to be haunted because, “if it’s old, it’s probably haunted, Pappaw.” Great time.

The Rubio's

Our stay at Walnut Grove Ranch was so peaceful and relaxing. The scenery and the house are just so beautiful I cannot express in words. I have five teenagers and they all had a blast exploring the property and learning all the history about the house and just Lincoln in general. Becca is the best host ever and was very responsive to any and all questions we had. We will definitely be planning another stay for much longer next time.

Outside makes it worth it

The outside space of this property is unbeatable. We spent the entire weekend under the covered pavilion and it was glorious. The house served our purposes, though we had some issues with cleanliness. A couple of the beds had dirty sheets and the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes, and it had not been dusted in awhile. The house has a ton of character and interesting history. It was a fun quirky place overall.

Truly unique stay, either for a family / friends hangout or for visiting Lincoln / Capitan / Ruidoso

My family and I loved staying at the house. The area is beautiful and secluded. It has a large number of beds and a seats and a very functional kitchen. I feel like there's two types of house rentals: the ones that are clearly just a minimally stocked place that hasn't had humans living there at length for years, and then rentals that feel lived in and loved, and has tons of small things. This house is very much in the latter better group. The house itself is covered in beautiful history and is very comfortable. I can't wait to plan a weekend around this with family and friends to all be together in one place, either just to hang out or to celebrate something or someone important.

A Little Slice of Heaven

Walnut Grove Ranch is so relaxing, peaceful and quiet. It's also a great place to step back into history. The yard surrounding the house is great for young imaginations. Lots of adventures to be had. The patios are great for outdoor dining and watching the wildlife.

The scenery and wildlife were amazing

We had a great stay at the property. The property manager was so friendly and nice. We would book again. The scenery and wildlife were beautiful. The history of the home, and items in the home, was like staying in a museum. We had an amazing time.
