Grinning Bear Lodge: Hot Tub, Large Deck, Fire-Pit & Mountain Serenity.

🏡 Grinning Bear Lodge | Peaceful Mountain Retreat w/ Hot Tub, Fireplace & Game Loft

Escape to the peaceful beauty of Angel Fire at Grinning Bear Lodge, a private 4-bedroom, 3-bath mountain retreat tucked among the pines. Designed for both relaxation and adventure, this spacious home features a large deck with a private hot tub, cozy stone fireplace, and a game loft with foosball, PlayStation, and panoramic views of the forest. You’ll often see deer wandering by in this tranquil haven just 5 miles from Angel Fire Resort.



🌲 The Space

Step inside and breathe in serenity. Vaulted ceilings, a grand stone fireplace, and a wall of windows blur the line between indoors and nature. Thoughtful Southwestern lodge décor — leather, native blankets, and wildlife touches — completes the warm, rustic feel.



🍳 Kitchen & Dining

The fully equipped chef’s kitchen makes hosting easy with stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and every utensil you’ll need for family meals. Enjoy the waffle bar, fresh-ground coffee (Keurig, drip, or French press), and gather around the 10-seat dining table or kitchen island for 5.
✅ Pots, pans, baking dishes, spices, and essentials all provided for your mountain feast.
