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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was great. You have easy access to the lake, town, and hiking trails. 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.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. 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.
