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.

This place had everything our family needed and more! The online pictures did not do it justice. Beautiful view of the lake and trails close by were nice. We would love to stay here again!

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!

It was almost perfect, we will rent again. Couple of small things, smell coming from the entry closest - heated floors did not work - foos ball game was broke. My favorite place to stay had house rule: On your final/last day don’t do a thing, you are still on vacation, no need to gather towels or sheets, no need to take out garbages, no need to dispose of unused food, don’t even worry about starting the dishwasher or doing the dishes, this is your vacation, enjoy it. They took care of it All. I wish this was the case for this rental. Just saying that is how you charge more than the neighbors and get booked out for years.

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.

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.!

Christmas Delight

This property was an excellent place for the family to celebrate an early Christmas. Very clean and well kept rental. Was decorated for the season. Wonderful view and accommodated our group perfectly. Impressed how well the kitchen was supplied with pans, utensils, etc. allowing us to prep beautiful meals. The house was enjoyed by all.

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!

Get away

Well, our stay was to blow off steam from so much work and stress and that’s what we did this. Home is a beautiful home. Very nice location. Everything was nice and cleaned. Only issue was the grill outside was pretty dirty. And the other issue was the lake. Very nice lake if we would’ve had Water just like the pictures but the lake was low. Did have Water went fishing overall we did have a good time.

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.

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!
