Paradise Found in Angel Fire!

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!

Great place!

We will definitely stay here again! Great location and condo was very spacious and nice! Didn’t like paying $35 for a parking pass. We had a few minor issues but the condo and maintenance staff was quick to help.
