Grindstone Casa Escondida: Your Perfect Hidden Retreat

Experience the charm of “Casa Escondida,” the perfect hidden house nestled in the Ruidoso woods! This inviting home gives you the best of both worlds—secluded comfort surrounded by nature, yet minutes from all the excitement of downtown shopping, Grindstone Lake, horseback riding, and the Inn of the Mountain Gods. Casa Escondida truly shines outdoors with its luxe amenities: a glamorous swim spa, mounted TV, BBQ grill, oven, and pizza oven.

Step inside to find a beautifully appointed open living area, dining space, and fully equipped kitchen featuring granite countertops and modern appliances. After a day of adventures, relax in the spacious bedrooms that promise restful nights. And for entertainment, the downstairs game room has it all—pool table, full bar, two TVs, and a dance floor with disco lights, making it the ultimate hangout spot for fun evenings with family and friends.

Grindstone Casa Escondida is more than a getaway; it's the ideal place to create memories, unwind, and explore. Book your hidden retreat today!

Grindstone Casa Escondida is located just down the street (less than 1/2 mile) from Grindstone Cowboy. Just around the corner is Chelsea House also 1/2 mile away. Perfect for larger group accommodations.

Ruidoso, Alto, and surrounding areas: Submerse yourself within the towering pines of Lincoln County and watch local wildlife such as elk, deer, wild horses, turkey, birds, and more in their natural habitats. Plan a day basking in the stillness of our national forest while hiking, biking, or fishing, golfing at one of our multiple golf courses or spend a fun night out on the town at one of the area's local attractions! Be sure to swim or fish at the beautiful Grindstone or Alto Lake, delight your senses at Winter Park with roller coaster and tubing, and explore the ski slopes and hiking trails throughout Ski Apache. Win big at one of our three local casinos and enjoy the excitement of live quarter horse racing at Ruidoso Downs Racetrack. Be happy you took a respite from the concrete jungle. Come relax and refresh with us!
