Wonderful retreat lake house, close to great hiking trails

Incredible views overlooking Grindstone Lake, great for fishing or swimming during the summer months. Spacious accommodations with 6 bedrooms/6 bathrooms and two family areas. After a day of walking the nearby hiking trails soak in the hot tub with views of the lake or relax with one of the two fireplaces, both with views of the lake.

Great location!

The house was lovely as was the view. Locking the house was not addressed and didn’t get a speedy response when I reached out as to how that worked. We finally figured it out. We would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay

Beautiful house with plenty of room, great for large groups. We especially appreciated that each bedroom had its own bathroom and the young adults and teens enjoyed hanging out downstairs in the TV room while the older adults had some peace and quiet upstairs. The lake and hiking trails are within walking distance. The property manager was also very responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

Christmas Gathering

We (adults and kids) all had a fabulous time . This was our first annual Christmas event and it couldn't have been more perfect. The rooms were nice, large kitchen and family room accommodated everyone. It is a beautiful place and area. It would be a fun winter or summer vacation place.

Stayed here with my family and enjoyed every piece of it! Home was beautiful and well equipped! I have stayed in many hotels, resorts and VRBOs and this is absolutely the BEST! Words do not do this property justice. This will be my go to place going forward. My family and I appreciate the attention to detail and just how well laid out this house was.

A perfect family getaway!

The home was spacious enough for everyone to spread out. It was clean and just perfect for our family. Stunning views! We went fishing at the lake and caught multiple fish. With six bedrooms and bathrooms, it truly was a perfect size for a large family gathering. The great room was perfect for family game night. We would definitely stay here again! We made some great memories.!

Family Vacation 2023

We take a family vacation every year and this by far was the nicest place we have ever stayed. We have 13 family members and everyone had plenty of space. The views were amazing. You hike down the trail behind the house to get to Grindstone lake, which was very pretty. Alex, our host, was very accommodating, and took wonderful care of us.

Family trip

We have been coming to Ruidoso each summer for years. This is absolutely the most beautiful property we have ever rented, from the furnishings to the decor. It was well equipped and stocked with everything we needed. Alex the property manager was great to deal with as well..Of course everything was so nice and ready for us the only question was how to turn the hottub on..My family and I highly recommend this property!
