Ruidoso, New Mexico
Featured in Log Home Living, Cabin Life, and other respected magazines, Panther Lodge is a jewel among Ruidoso’s vacation homes and a place you’ll feel immediately at home. Panther Lodge was built of massive logs imported from Canada. Just the structure of the home is breathtaking both inside and out. Your vacation headquarters is located in the Grindstone area southwest of Ruidoso. You’ll be close to restaurants and be shopping in downtown Ruidoso, and also near Grindstone Lake, Grindstone Stables, Frisbee golf, and the Apache Casino. Yet, despite all the pleasures within close range, Panther Lodge itself is situated on two acres amid soaring pines and meandering wildlife. It’s hard to imagine a more perfect and peaceful getaway!
When you walk up to Panther Lodge you’ll cross a large front porch with plenty of seating where you can enjoy the view from your home. Right from the front porch, you’ll get an idea of the many massive Canadian logs that went into building this lodge masterpiece.
Enter the large great room with 28’ ceilings and a stone wood-burning fireplace and you’ll know this is a lodge like no other. One of the most impressive things in the main living room is the staircase made entirely of split whole logs that leads to the upstairs loft. Tasteful alpine and New Mexican décor lends a special warmth and charm to every room in this incredible home. Large and plentiful Euroline glass doors and windows let in plenty of sunlight and natural beauty. No matter what time of year you visit, you and your guests will enjoy gathering in this great room to watch cable TV or a movie on the DVD player. It’s also an excellent space for games and discussing plans for your next day of mountain fun. Panther Lodge also has free Wi-Fi so you can stay in touch with friends back home.
Panther Lodge is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home that sleeps up to eight when the sleeper sofa in the loft is used. The open-concept design of the main living space gives the
Beautiful home really clean
This was our first experience booking through this sight and staying in this property so we we’re a little nervous. But this stay exceeded our expectations! The pictures are beautiful but once you arrive it’s even nicer in person! You will not be disappointed. Not only is the cabin great, but the location is ideal as it is near town and only minutes away from most of the attractions that we did. Check-in was quick and I called because 1 of the TVs wasn’t working and the propane tank was empty and within an hour they had already sent someone out to check it for us! Unfortunately the TV cable box was out and because of the holiday wasn’t able to be replaced, but we didn’t even end up needing it. We had deer come and visit us a few times in the backyard. As mentioned the driveway is a little steep but nothing too bad, and expected with the terrain. The cabin is spacious, beautifully decorated and crafted, and very nicely equipped! The only thing I would recommend is possibly replacing a few of the pots and pans. As some of the Teflon lining on them is worn out, so some of the food sticks. Aside from that everything was great and my family and I would love to come back and stay here! Recommend it 100%
We absolutely enjoyed the grandeur of this property! My husband & I are luxury home builders in Austin and formerly Park City, UT so this home was so lovely to experience the mountain feel we remember and study the unique and thoughtful dedication we know went into building this amazing home. It was very fun to experience this fine quality home. The deer visit everyday, the area was quiet, but walking distance to the main street and shops. We do wish the home had King sized beds in at least 2 rooms and that's the ONLY thing that would possibly keep us from coming back, but the beds there were very comfortable. The location is unbeatable near Grindstone and easy access to many other sights. We LOVED Panther Lodge and truly thank the Lankford family for opening their special home to guests. Thank you!
I HAVE STAYED AT THE PANTHER LODGE SEVERAL YEARS AGO, AND IT IS STILL BEAUTIFUL. I DO HAVE A MAJOR COMPLAINT. THE MATTRESSES ON THE BEDS WERE SOOOOOOO UNCOMFORTABLE. ALL 4 OF US WOKE EVERY MORNING ACHING. IT IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO START OUT EACH DAY OF A VACATION. NEW MATTRESSES WOULD BE IN ORDER. OTHER THAN THAT, WHICH I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT, EVERYTHING ELSE WAS FINE. THANK YOU,
Bed rooms down stairs to small, bath, also.priced to high,driveway very steep.master bed room nice.
I would highly recommend Panther Lodge! We had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful place and we even had deer come visit us at the back of the house. Some even laid down on the path and stayed a while! We will definitely stay here again!
Super cabin the only two things I would improve; is have a king size bed in the master and pick up trash outside on the property. Overall it was great and very comfortable. The cabin is very impressive and everything inside was very clean and worked properly. Lots of deer and birds outside, that the kids loved! Also it is a great location to down town, grindstone lake, and the grindstone stables. The cabin is very comfortable and makes it hard to leave, when it’s time to go back home!
The Panther Lodge is wonderful, well furnished, and comfortable. I could have stared at the craftmanship all day long. We will definitely being staying again at some point.
Great location close to downtown. Motorcycle parking was daunting for short legged riders on the steep asphalt driveway. The cabin is breathtaking inside and out. We had deer come up every evening that ate apples right out of our hands. We will definitely come back again.
Everyone enjoyed our stay. We hated to leave. Highly recommend
