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

Perched high above Grindstone Lake, the stunning Grindstone Lake Lodge offers unparalleled views and a unique blend of luxury and nature. This multi-story, eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom home comfortably accommodates up to 20 guests, making it perfect for large groups, family reunions, or special getaways.

From the moment you step inside, you'll be captivated by the beauty of this brand-new mountain retreat. The sweeping views from the expansive windows and multiple decks are simply breathtaking—no words or pictures can fully capture the magic of this location. Grindstone Lake Lodge is truly a one-of-a-kind experience, not only in Ruidoso but throughout southern New Mexico.

Endless Adventures at Your Doorstep

Located in the heart of Ruidoso’s scenic mountain range, the lodge offers quick access to outdoor activities like hiking, skiing, and exploring the charming local shops. After a day of adventure, return to your private haven and indulge in the luxurious comforts waiting for you. Each bedroom is a sanctuary of relaxation, paired with ensuite bathrooms designed for privacy and convenience. Entertainment abounds with high-speed internet, flat-screen TVs throughout, and a fully-equipped game room featuring gaming tables for hours of fun.

Gourmet Kitchen for Group Feasts

With a large refrigerator, dual wall ovens, a gas cooktop, and ample prep space, you’ll find everything you need to prepare delicious meals for your group. The open layout allows for easy socializing, with plenty of room for multiple cooks to work together, and the kitchen flows seamlessly into the main living area, perfect for gathering with friends and family.

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.

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!

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!
