Grindstone Lake Lodge, a true one of a kind with the most amazing view
About this house rental
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.

With 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms this was the perfect house for our 16 family members. Although we had some issues (no internet the entire time we were there and many light bulbs burned out) we enjoyed our time together at the house.

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.

We rented the Grindstone Lake Lodge for 8 guys on a Ruidoso golf trip. The home is in great condition, has a great kitchen for cooking large meals, and every bedroom is very comfortable. The balcony view is awesome!

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!

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.

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

We stayed here with our wedding party and it was a fantastic property! Every bedroom has its own bathroom, making it ideal for large families or couples staying together. The views were stunning. Kitchen had everything you could need.

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!

This was a wonderful place to have people from our SS class who have moved away to get together after 10-15 years. These are people our kids grew up with and we have gone through life with. It was so fun!! God truly blessed our time together ❤️

Don’t get me wrong, the house is nice and comfortable. The beds were firm, the furniture was nice and the kitchen well equipped. What we didn’t like is none of the TVs worked. Particularly unfortunate bc we had a football game rivalry we wanted to watch. Internet didn’t work. Outlets in a bedroom and some in kitchen didn’t work. Manager was nice but we spent hours with maintenance guy who couldn’t fix our problems. Disappointing in some respects

The home is very beautiful. We had a church retreat and the house lend itself in order for us to meditate on the word of God. The scenery from the balconies also added to the spirituality. We loved the spacious kitchen and both dining areas where everybody had a sense of communion. Everything was perfect. Christy and Jenna were very professional, courteous, knowledgeable and helpful with the renting process.Thank you and God blessGarcia

This house is amazing! It has 8 bedrooms, and each has its own bathroom. Perfect for my large extended family. Words can't describe the beauty from the back deck. Bald eagles drifted over the lake. My dad even watched one dive into the water and catch a fish one morning! Swarms of humming birds at the feeders. A true slice of heaven!

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.
