"This is a gem -- famly run hotel (couple and their seven children!), in a historical hotel (100+ year old which was a restaurant and many other things over its history). Judy Garland used to stay there in the 1930s. Lots of history. But more importantly, it's relaxed and feels like you're staying in a family house with a family who stays out of your way unless you need help, in which case they are very helpful.
I've seen comments about the bathroom situation. What I can say is I stayed there two different times, and the shared bathroom was not a problem at all. Maybe it's because overall the hotel was not very occupied. I can see if it was fully booked it might be a bit of an issue but also understand that some rooms have their own or a shared bathroom, which means that the communal bathroom doesn't have everyone using it. Also I believe every room has its own sink and mirror, so you can wash face/brush teeth in your own room.
I felt the hotel was very clean while also feeling old and historic.
If there's a downside it's that the town of Springer is pretty dead, and you'll have a hard time getting a meal at night nearby.
Overall I'd totally stay here again and would recommend that you try it if you're in the area. "
Grinning Bear Lodge: Hot Tub, Large Deck, Fire-Pit & Mountain Serenity.
10/10 Excellent
"Grinning Bear Lodge was exactly as advertised. Quiet, peaceful, and yet close to activities and services. The lodge was very clean and well kept. Everything you need to stay and not leave if that’s what you want to do. Sit on the deck and view the wildlife and the stars. Even saw a bear on the property."
"The home is located in a wonderful setting near the top of Agua Fria Mt. Nice property with plenty of amenities, great view, friendly host with great communication :)"
