What a perfect stay in Angel Fire! We loved our vacation at Grinning Bear Lodge. The home was beautiful and comfortable for our family’s 3 generations. Every room had personal touches that felt so welcoming! The bedrooms had comfortable beds and cozy blankets to snuggle under! The bathrooms had the fluffiest towels and so many extra products to make you feel right at home. The kids loved the game room and all the board games. The living room had plenty of seating for all of us and we loved snuggling each evening watching movies on the large TV. The kitchen was the best stocked that we have ever had in a vacation home! Our favorites included all the spices needed for cooking, a wonderful coffee bar, a waffle maker and of course the s’mores kit! The back deck was voted as our families favorite spot! The hot tub was luxurious, the fire pit was cozy and we enjoyed eating meals at the roomy table. The home is on a quiet street nestled in beautiful pine and aspen trees! We were thrilled to see deer and elk in our yard each evening! We will choose Grinning Bear lodge each time we visit Angel Fire! ##### Martin H.

Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### msmith0801 Sep 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We recently spent time at this lovely home in Angel Fire and couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The enclosed deck/patio was a huge plus—it gave our dogs a safe space to roam while we relaxed and took in the peaceful surroundings.Inside, the home was thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. The coffee bar was a charming touch, and we made great use of the grill thanks to all the provided necessities. The kitchen had all the cookware, utensils, and dishware we needed, making meal prep easy and enjoyable.There were plenty of cozy blankets and throws throughout the house, and I have to rave about the bath towels—OMG, they were sooo soft! Honestly, they were the best we’ve had in any rental, and we’ve been coming to Angel Fire for 12 years.The house instructions were clear and helpful, which made settling in a breeze. The fireplace was a little tricky to figure out, but that might’ve been user error. Internet connectivity was solid the entire time, which was great for both work and streaming.Overall, it’s a beautiful and private home that made for a relaxing and memorable stay. We highly recommend it and would absolutely return! ##### msmith0801 Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel El Rancho ](https://www.expedia.ca/Gallup-Hotels-Historic-El-Rancho-Hotel.h1225197.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Tiny home Unit A in Magdalena's Center!](https://www.expedia.ca/Magdalena-Hotels-Tiny-Home-Unit-A-In-Magdalenas-Center.h111619303.Hotel-Information) > > ['villa Con Vista' w/ Putting Green & Hot Tub!](https://www.expedia.ca/Ruidoso-Hotels-Villa-Con-Vista-Putting-Green-Hot-Tub.h93206062.Hotel-Information) > > [High Mountain Cabin S](https://www.expedia.ca/Ruidoso-Hotels-High-Mountain-Cabin-S.h39607286.Hotel-Information) > > [Lobo Tipi unique stay at El Mistico Ranch](https://www.expedia.ca/Nogal-Hotels-Lobo-Tipi-Unique-Stay-At-El-Mistico-Ranch.h111376441.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel 6 Lordsburg, NM](https://www.expedia.ca/Lordsburg-Hotels-Motel-6-Lordsburg.h22227.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa Teresa Home w/ Patio & Grill!](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Teresa-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Santa-Teresa-Home-W-Patio-Grill.h107907183.Hotel-Information) > > [Moon Mountain Lodge: 'My family's favorite place to stay!' w/ hot tub](https://www.expedia.ca/Ruidoso-Hotels-Moon-Mountain-Lodge-My-Familys-Favorite-Place-To-Stay-W-Hot-Tub-And-Pool-Table.h29633250.Hotel-Information) > > [Tiara Del Sol Condos](https://www.expedia.ca/Ruidoso-Hotels-Tiara-Del-Sol-Condos.h10032444.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunset Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Rosa-Hotels-Sunset-Motel.h15704368.Hotel-Information) > > [Extended Stay America Suites Albuquerque Rio Rancho](https://www.expedia.ca/Albuquerque-Hotels-Extended-Stay-America-Suites-Albuquerque-Rio-Rancho.h118500.Hotel-Information) > > [Sleep Inn & Suites Carlsbad Caverns Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Carlsbad-Hotels-Sleep-Inn-Suites.h10100831.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > > [T-Post Cabin Summary:](https://www.expedia.ca/Ruidoso-Hotels-T-Post-Cabin-Summary.h94638613.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Las Cruces at NMSU](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Cruces-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Las-Cruces.h33994040.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Socorro](https://www.expedia.ca/Socorro-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Socorro.h42168.Hotel-Information) > > [Finch Haven](https://www.expedia.ca/Taos-Hotels-Finch-Haven.h35212735.Hotel-Information) > > [Gilley\`s Summary:
