My husband and I enjoyed our two month stay at Canyon Creek Lodge this summer. If you like the outdoors and love wildlife then this is certainly the place to be while in Ruidoso. Five minutes will get you to the downtown area, three to the Inn of The Gods, and twelve to WalMart and the Downs. The mountains are on the front and back side of the condos. The main road runs between the two mountains with the creek running in the front of the lodge by the roadway. While there we saw the ducks, and deer each day. One afternoon while outside a small black bear came down the mountain about 50 feet from where we were standing. It turned and headed right for the trash bins. I was able to take pictures while the bear was digging around in the trash. The condos are one bedroom and bath with a small kitchen located next to the living area. Each condo has a fireplace and small outside patio equipped with table and chairs. We spent a lot of time out on the patio watching the traffic, ducks, deer and on a couple of occassions, turkey. The creek flows in front of the condos which draws the wildlife to the lodge.
