We have stayed at Shadow Mountain Lodge numerous times now and have been pleased everytime. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. We enjoy sitting on the porch right outside our door and watching the wildlife, birds, hummingbirds, and best of all, deer. The grounds are beautiful and the owners and staff are very friendly.

Having been staying in motels on our tour for 10 days, we fancied something different, and this place scored highly on Trip-advisor. We took pot luck and turned up, fell in love with it and were pleased we could book a cabin for 3 nights. The cabin was faultless and on sitting out on the veranda the first evening, to... More

We've been going to Ruidoso for over 40 years and have stayed in too many places to list. This is the best place we've ever stayed there and we will be making it the only place we stay from now on. The rooms are extremely clean, very inviting and comfortable. The porch and location are just added bonuses. The only... More

My husband and I stayed here on the night of May 18th. It was wonderful! We didn't have a whole lot of time to spend on the grounds, but what we did have, we thoroughly enjoyed. The owners, Marilyn and Chuck are so hospitable and very full of information. It was a great stay, and they made it even better!!

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
