The sheer beauty of this lodge will leave your friends and family in awe when you share your experience of staying at this unforgettable location. Mountain Living, with a Few Twists Ruidoso is a picturesque alpine community, known for its twisty mountain roads and ever-changing weather. Elevations range from 6,000 to 12,000 feet, and homes are often multi-level with inclined lots. Wildlife is abundant, so don’t be surprised if you encounter a few critters on the road. Power outages and intermittent internet or cell phone service are part of life in the mountains—embrace the slower pace and simpler life. In winter months, we recommend 4-wheel drive vehicles or chains to navigate the steep roads. Come relax, unwind, and soak in the natural beauty that makes Grindstone Lake Lodge a true paradise. You’ll leave with memories that last a lifetime. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 8 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 8 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Billiards/pool table - Golf - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sledding nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78180000/78177500/78177479/e1ee70e4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wonderful retreat lake house, close to great hiking trails Ruidoso - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 47 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=78177479&PinnedHotelID=78177479&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34770000/34768100/34768068/e0d1329d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ruidoso Condo w/ 2 Private Decks & Hot Tub!

There are a few things to consider when renting this property. I would not recommend this property if you need fast, reliable internet during your stay. The internet is very slow. if you plan to play pool or shuffleboard, those games need to be in better condition. This is an excellent property for couples or groups that need a private room but also want to gather as a group. I would rent again if they fixed the internet and updated the pool table and shuffleboard. ##### Dyron H.

Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful family vacation at Grindstone Lake Lodge. We had 10 adults 3 teenagers and 2 little ones. There was plenty of room for all of us. The amenities were more than described on VRBO. The lake view was fabulous. We filled the hummingbird feeders and the hummingbirds gave us many hours of entertainment. Prior to our trip we sent an email to ask questions and never got a response. We called several days later and got some of our questions answered. The property was in good condition, we had an issue with an electrical breaker tripping the last night of our stay. No one responded to a voicemail or text sent to the emergency number. It was in the room with the baby and we needed the baby monitor. Guess they don't monitor, or didn't consider this an emergency. A response back stating we wouldn't be hearing back would have been nice. We received a response on VRBO the next morning as we were leaving town that they would be out that day. The breaker box was not accessible on the lower level rooms. The area is beautiful and there are a lot of things to do very close. We enjoyed disk golf, horseback riding, paddleboarding, canoeing, ziplining, and white sands monument. This is a great space for multi-generation families. ##### Tim & Peggy R.

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! ##### Carrie B.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a family reunion there last year and loved the place so we decided to book again this year. We had been at the house about an hour when we saw a mouse. We went sure so we looked for it and yep found it and killed it. We went to store and bought some mouse traps just in case. We all had taken food and didn’t want to take a chance. I called the number given to me for any questions or concerns but no answer. To our surprise next morning we caught 2 other mice. Called number again no response sent email no response. Until Sunday after check I received an email that she was sorry and would have her supervisor contact me, I am still waiting for call back from supervisor or someone. I was not expecting a compensation at all just some kind of attention. Needless to say we will not be going back to this location for our annual family reunion. ##### Bea S.
