About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Amazing 3-level home. Perfect for 3-generation family visits. Sunsets & elk.
We picked this lot for its beautiful view onto a meadow where elk often graze and for the sunsets. This new home has many architectural details that will wow you. Dancing Bear Lodge is filled with high-end furnishings and is decorated with many pieces of southwest and Native American art from our family's collection accumulated over fifty years. The home style is modern craftsman.
This home has earned rave reviews from guests which most often comprise family reunions of three generations.
The master bedroom is located on the main floor for the grandparents.
The lower-level offers two bedrooms, each with a private bath, and four bunk beds for young families with children. There is plenty of play space here for the kids and an 85" TV. A big stock of toys, games and puzzles will entertain all.
The upper-level provides two bedrooms, each with a private bath, and a loft/library overlooking the great room. The library is a special place to escape the rest of the family.
Each bedroom has a walk-in closet large enough for a baby bed or pack and play. A special request of our daughters.
The great room has a 35-foot-high cathedral ceiling with heavy hand-scraped ceiling trusses, a real wood burning fireplace and a wall of windows. Large upper and lower outside decks. High-end kitchen appliances will please any chef. The upper-level loft/library is a special place with a view down the valley and hand-built library shelves that demand a photo. Lower-level bonus room with shuffleboard table, game table, 85" TV with YouTube TV and room for the kids to play. The home is stocked with many board/card games, puzzles and toys for the kids.

Words can’t describe how wonderful this place was. Had 17 of us together for Thanksgiving. Watched elk in the morning, took hikes, and had fun playing with the grandkids using the nice collection of toys provided by the host. It was magical and very relaxing.The host was incredibly nice and helpful. He and his wife have done an AMAZING job decorating. As one of my daughters said, “You can tell a lot of love was put into the place.”

We had our two daughters and their families, which includes two toddlers, at Dancing Bear Lodge for a week. The house is very high quality and designed to have every amenity, on top of being very homey. Our granddaughters had lots of toys and games to entertain them in the playroom downstairs, and it's a very short drive down to Angel Fire. We hiked and got out for daily walks and barely saw a soul. The view from the deck is incredible, just a wide meadow with trees across from it and mountains beyond. Almost no sound at all except the birds. The littles enjoyed seeing deer in the meadow in the evenings, rabbits, and chipmunks that live in the rocks around the house. Coffee in the morning on the deck, and a glass of wine and smore's around the fire pit at night. Can highly recommend to anyone wanting a secluded but luxurious stay with family. And the sunsets are not to be missed. Would stay here again.

Gorgeous home with all the amenities!
Beautifully decorated home with amazing views. We had just arrived and saw a herd of elk running across the field! Every day there was wildlife to view. The downstairs was wonderful for the grandchildren because of all the wonderful toys and games. Loved the floor plan of the house. Everyone enjoyed skiing and snowboarding and my grandson caught his first rainbow trout. Lots of family memories! Robert was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the area!

Breathtaking Views
This is one of the best properties we’ve stayed at in Angelfire. You absolutely will not find a better view anywhere there. The house was amazing. Great layout for two large families. The kids loved the downstairs area! The kitchen was very well equipped and fun to cook in! The hot tub was the best part. You could just sit there and relax and take in the beautiful view! Regarding the drive in mentioned in other reviews…we came equipped with 4 wheel drive and snow tires. I would consider us novices as far as driving in the snow. We were intimidated by the drive up the mountain but made it just fine with our equipment!

Top notch!
We stayed for 5 nights with 3 families and it was PERFECT! The house is even better than in the pictures. It is so spacious and beautiful. The furnishings are high quality and the bedding in each room is luxurious. It was easy to cook meals in the well-stocked kitchen and roomy pantry. The kids enjoyed the downstairs space and the hot-tub was very relaxing. The views from the main living area are breathtaking. We had a snowstorm roll in and we had to purchase tire chains for our minivan from the True Value in town. If you don't have 4 wheel drive, go ahead and purchase chains ahead of time if you are staying during the winter months because you will need them to get up and down the mountain as the roads are steep. We had a wonderful vacation and the hosts were amazing. Thank you for sharing your awesome home with us!

Great House and property!
The house was incredible. Beautiful, spacious new home with plenty of room for our family and friends. The location was beautiful. It was at the end a mountain road off the main highway overlooking a large field and wooded area. The house was fully stocked and had anything and everything we would need for a great time in the winter or summer. We sledded down the driveway with the kids, used the hot tub frequently which was a nice perk. I would highly recommend this house to any large group and I would LOVE to return again one day. We were close, about a 10 minute drive, from the Angel Fire Resort and base of the ski mountain. The parking is easy at the resort.
I would say that 4 wheel drive is needed during the winter mainly if it snows a lot, mainly to get out of the driveway which has a decent pitch . . It snowed a ton the day before we left, and I had our 2 wheel drive up on the top side of the driveway (about 30 yards from the house). There was a huge snow plow came through on the main road to the highway which helped a ton. I got down fine with 2 wheel drive, just being cautious and driving slowly. Either way, this would not deter me at all from renting this house but should be noted.
Also to note the house is at around 9500 feet elevation, for reference the ski mountain is 8500 feet.

Amazing White Christmas Upscale Retreat
The property is amazing! The amenities, decor, furniture and features are all top notch. The location, sitting on the edge of the mountain overlooking the valley provided beautiful views. We highly recommend Dancing Bear to anyone who wants to get away from the hustle of life and find a wonderful quite place to relax with your family or friends yet close enough to town to enjoy everything Angel Fire has to offer.
We also want to say that the Hosts were warm and extremely hospitable. They welcomed us to their property and made us feel right at home. Our family Christmas was made memorable. Thanks for everything.

Has to be the best home in Angel Fire NM!
This is an amazing, well-appointed custom designed home with everything anyone could possibly want when renting a vacation home. The home is clean, open and just perfect for hanging out while visiting with friends and family. It's large and yet maintains a comfortable setting and vibe for all. The views from the windows are fabulous and the game room downstairs ideal for kids and adults.
We stayed over Thanksgiving and watched the snow fall, cooked, ate and then played games. The home also has a jacuzzi as well as a large TV screen. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and the host had a left a welcoming gift for us when we arrived. It was just a fantastic experience. I would HIGHLY recommend this home to anyone or any group who is considering a trip to Angel Fire NM. I have absolutely nothing negative or even constructive criticism to say about this home.

Wow this place is spectacular!
We had 12 family members and a few other drop-ins and this place turned out to be perfect for us. It has a first class view, and the house and everything in it were top of the line quality. We could not have been more pleased with everything. We saw wildlife of all types while sitting on the beautiful deck. It is perfect for all ages, from toddlers to seniors! Each bedroom has it's own bathroom, which adds an extra touch of luxury. The owner was very responsive and could not have been more gracious. I cannot recommend this property strongly enough!
