Top Grindstone Lake Hotel Reviews

MCM Elegante Lodge & Suites Ruidoso

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel at one point in time, but it desperately needs upgrades. Newer furniture, newer bathrooms, etc. The beds are the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever slept in."

Wonderful retreat lake house, close to great hiking trails

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful house overlooking Grindstone lake. We had enough room for our family to stay and cheer me on while racing the inaugural Ironman 70.3 triathlon in Ruidoso. The deck was perfect for watching the swim course, especially since we brought a spotting scope on a tripod. The house was well supplied and we had no issues whatsoever. Highly recommend!"

Apache Paradise K9 Friendly | Relax, Soak & Unwind in the Pines of Ruidoso

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing views from the deck! Best place to hang out. Had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Fun seeing the deer around and love those hummingbirds!Just wish the hot tub had been more convenient. So many stairs and we were so tired each night! Maybe next time!Other than that, everything was perfect!"

Grindstone Cowboy | Luxury Lake Views, Hot Tub & Game Room Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"The house was beautiful! It was very spacious and we loved the view from every angle. The home is pet friendly which is one of the main reasons we booked. It was cleaned so well that you would never know that pets were allowed. We enjoyed sightseeing and shopping during the day and at night the hot tub was very relaxing. One thing that scared the absolute day lights out of us the first time we heard it was the emergency radio! It is loud but also a great warning system. This is not a complaint at all just a funny don't let it scare you too. We were traveling as a family with our 2 grown children and one younger child plus out mini dachshunds. The only thing I wish they would have had was a useable vacuum and a mop for spills or to clean then entry when coming in from outside since it was quite dusty. I just like to keep a clean space. Overall, the house was lovely we enjoyed our stay and would most definitely recommend or stay again."

Cruthirds Cabin K9 Friendly | Firelight, Fresh Air & Hot Tub Under the Pines

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin was perfect for us four older adults and our two little dogs. We really wish we would have stayed longer. It even had AC which we didn't expect. The beds were very comfortable. I was in love with the beautiful, huge chandelier in the living room. There were no neighbors on one side, which was nice. The neighborhood was very quiet. We loved walking our dogs in the morning and evening and meeting a neighbor's sweet, friendly dog. The cabin was kept in very good condition with updated bathrooms that I also didn't expect. That was a nice surprise. We absolutely loved it! It was exactly what we wanted. My dad said I did a good job picking this cabin, as I had looked at cabins and their reviews online for a whole day. Thanks for letting us stay!"
