Seasonal & Travel Notes

The neighborhood roads are paved, making access to A Beary Happy Place easy. In winter, the driveway is plowed when snow exceeds 4 inches or as needed. While Ruidoso and Alto have some hilly and mountainous areas, they are generally easy to navigate year-round. During winter, guests should have 4-wheel drive and/or snow chains in case of major snowstorms. For extended stays, travel insurance is recommended.
