I absolutely loved my stay. I've been going to Ruidoso NM for almost twenty years and never really knew what I was missing until I stayed at Shadow Mountain Lodge and Cabins. It's beautiful, peaceful, clean and the rooms have everything you could need. The fireplace and reclining lazy chairs were an extra treat. Definately recomend !

We spent three enjoyable nights at Shadow Mountain, in one of the main lodge's rooms. Our accommodations were most comfortable, and much more than a simple motel room, with small living area and a well-appointed kitchenette. A large porch surrounds the lodge complex, providing a grand place to enjoy sitting and watching the hummingbirds at the many feeders. If you... More

This was our first visit but it won't be our last. The Shadow Mountain Lodge is clean, comfortable, and very affordable. Fireplace, and kitchen all well equipped and immaculate. We enjoyed a fire every evening. On a quiet street but very close to the center of town. We have stayed in hotels and B&B's all over the world and this... More

During my 12 day road trip from Texas to Nevada, stopped in Ruidoso on the way back to Texas. What a great place in the mountains at Ruidoso. Rented two cabins, 303 & 304. Checked in and was greeted by a very lovely lady, sorry I didn't catch her name but was very friendly. She answered questions regarding places to... More

Thank you TripAdvisor, for steering us to Ruidoso’s #1 ranked property. Even better, Shadow Mountain Lodge’s website presents the property with 100% accuracy, well covering the property’s features, benefits and guest policies. Expertly managed property, with perfect location off quiet Main Road in the Upper Canyon, but just minutes from shopping and restaurants. We splurged for one of four individual... More

We were here three nights, surprised at mountains and the number of things to do in the area. Stayed in a cabin at Shadow Mountain, which was comfortably laid out, spacious an well maintained. Got several good dining recommendations from the manager. The Lodge is well up the canyon, away from the most touristy areas. Would love Tito stay there... More

My husband and I spent two nights at Shadow Mountain Lodge and we will return again. As we entered the room, my husband remarked, "I've only been here ten minutes, but I"ll return again in a heart beat.". The room was furnished with typical "cabin" furnishings....the kitchen area was fully equipped, including a can of coffee. There were plenty of... More

Great having you stay with us and thank you for the kind words. Sorry about the heating unit noise. The lodge was built to accommodate these hotel style 'through the wall units' and so unfortunately the accompanying air noise levels are unavoidable. The good news is that most of the year neither air nor heat is required, but we do... More

I visited for my birthday, with my girlfriend and 4 year old daughter. It was definitely the best price and highest quality of stay in the whole city (Including Inn of The Mountain Gods). The staff was great, and very helpful. It snowed while we stayed, and the staff even plowed the parking lot and cleaned my windshield for us... More

We stopped here looking for a night in the lodge, but after hearing about the cabins we chose them! What's not to love? We had our own private cabin complete with two person jetted tub, see through fireplace from the bedroom and living area and a swivel flat screen tv. There is a hot tub outside, also.
