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.

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.
