Shadow Mountain Lodge

Nestled amidst pine trees and natural greenery as far as the eye can see is Shadow Mountain Lodge, a rustic mountain lodge surrounded by restaurants and unique shops about a ten-minute drive from Ruidoso' town centre.

Lodges and cabins provide guests with superior accommodation. Each includes a fully equipped kitchen and shady veranda, a wood-burning fireplace, and luxuries like king-size beds with memory-foam mattresses, coffee-makers, TVs, and DVD players.

Small pets are welcome at the lodge and parking is provided free of charge. Guests looking for outdoor adventure can enjoy hiking, biking, and skiing in the immediate vicinity, along with a plentiful supply of wildlife in the surroundings.

There are many barbecue grills on the property, where visitors can enjoy socialising over a meal outdoors. Alternatively, Pena's Place, a charming Mexican restaurant is an option that's only five minutes away on foot.

A visit to Ruidoso Downs horse-racing track will take around 15 minutes to reach from Shadow Mountain Lodge by car.
