Grindstone Lake Lodge, a true one of a kind with the most amazing view

High in the mountains with a spectacular view above Grindstone Lake is the one of a kind Grindstone Lake Lodge. This multi-story home with eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms will easily accommodate up to 20 guests.

Once you’ve arrived and walked through the front entrance, you’ll marvel at the beauty of this brand new vacation home. The views from the windows and decks are beyond compare and words do not suffice. There is absolutely nothing else like Grindstone Lake Lodge in all of Ruidoso and we dare say all of southern New Mexico.

There are so many things to do in the area such as hiking, skiing, shopping and enjoying the cool mountain air that you may feel the desire to stay out late and enjoy but when the time comes to return home and relax you will be rewarded with all the luxuries fit for royalty. The many bedrooms offer comfort in abundance as well as the adjoining bath areas. Entertainment is available throughout with Internet and TV's. The game room will offer hours of enjoyment with the various gaming tables. Your group will have loads of fun in this room and all the challenges it will offer.

You’ll find everything you could possibly need in your gorgeous kitchen including a huge refrigerator, dual wall ovens, gas cook top, and plenty of prep space. The large kitchen is open to the main living area and has plenty of room for multiple helpers to work side by side.

Come for that once in a lifetime vacation but make sure you bring enough cameras for all those selfie opportunities, otherwise no one will ever believe you when you try to describe where you stayed at the one and only, Grindstone Lake Lodge.

Ruidoso is an alpine mountain community. Expect twisty roads with steep grades. The weather is unpredictable and changes quickly. Elevation can vary between 6000’ to almost 12,000’. Most homes are multi-level with stairs on inclined lots. Expect wildlife to hinder traffic flow. Do not be surprised if the power goes out or when you lose internet or cell phone connection. This is the mountains, and it happens. We encourage guests be prepared with access to chains or 4-wheel drive in winter months for all our properties. This is not the big city. Life is easier and slower paced and more wonderful. This is why we come and why we stay. Relax and enjoy your time in paradise.

Amazing, Peaceful Views!
This place is magnificent! 8 beds/baths made the stay very comfortable for our family and as large as the place is, we didn't feel overcrowded with 13 people in it. We had a ton of fun in the game room, grilling out and having coffee on the balconies. The view is amazing and it was so peaceful, especially in the morning hearing the ravens and seeing the deer casually walking by. Definitely recommend it and will stay again!

Really nice place but you better not have issues. After 5:00 on Friday. We didn’t have any emergencies but if you have issues (like the fireplace not lighting) there was no one available to answer the phone. We were also short two beds that were listed

Awesome mountain views
Even though there are houses close by, the feel is one of total privacy. You don’t feel the need to go anywhere because the views and the cool mountain air is refreshing. We had hummingbirds stop by everyday, we saw wild horses, and deer. God willing, we will be back!

Everything was awesome but the only downside was that the garage wasn’t available for use and the parking lot isn’t so big. I think that it would be more convenient to be able to use the garage to have more parking space.

Best rental location experience ever.
The location is easy to get to, property was beautiful and well kept, all rooms were spacious and had private bathrooms, the pool table room could have better upkeep but still were useful, and the views were perfect. All communication I had with management was productive and extremely helpful. My guests and I will definitely being staying here again.

Ruidoso trip
This property was exactly as described and was great for our group. We had 5 families (21 people ranging from 18 months to 40s) and had plenty of room to spread out. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed (could have used more paper goods, trash bags, soap...minor detail), it was perfect for our vacation!
