“very clean, pet friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2008

We stayed at the Village Lodge for a weekend trip with our two children and our dog. We were very pleased. Not too fancy, but very clean, and it suited our needs. It had a living room with a tv and a sofabed, and a fireplace. The kitchen had a fridge, microwave, stove, and basic dishes and utensils. We found a fan in the closet, which was a nice extra since we are used to sleeping with a fan. There was an iron, ironing board, and a hair dryer. The bedroom had a king size bed, extra pillows and blankets, a second tv, and a second vanity/sink, which was nice. We did visit the jacuzzi also, and they had some nice sitting areas under the pine trees where we sat with our dog, along with a few other families and their dogs. Very pet friendly! We enjoyed our stay at the Village Lodge.

We had a wonderful stay. Condo was neat, clean, and just what we needed. The staff was great and we will be staying there again. Thanks for a lovely weekend.

“Doggy Heaven”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 July 2008

My wife & I stayed at the Lodge in May of this year (2008) and agree with the reviews going back to 2004. Beautifully located among trees within a stones throw of town. We were looking for somewhere that would except our newly adopted dog. We were overwhelmed when we called and the staff couldn't wait to meet him. Rosy and the entire staff are the warmest, friendliest people in the world. The condos are older but extremely clean and well taken care of. We had a beautiful one bedroom with a kitchen, front room and fireplace. It includes all of the amenities for cooking. If your looking for a place that's comfortable, at a reasonable price, where you'll feel welcome every day, this is it. C & M, Los Lunas, NM

“Beautiful place with friendly staff!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 March 2008

My husband & I along with my mother made a weekend trip without plans. At the referral of a cousin we stayed at the village lodge. When we arrived we were really surprised at the beauty of the place for the price we had paid. Though we arrived at around 3:00am we had no problem getting in our room they had a key waiting for us & didn't make us do any paper work so we got to get right to bed after our 8 hour drive. The owner was very friendly, I thought she was an awesome lady! We plan on going back in June & we will without a doubt be staying at the village lodge again!

“Nice place surrounded by lots of trees!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2006

people found this review helpful

This place was wonderful! Nestled among lots of pine trees and sitting back from a busy street, this is a great place to stay especially when travelling with pets. Large living area and nice kitchen area complete with stove/oven, fridge, microwave, coffee maker. Although this is an older lodge, the rooms were very clean.
