Perfect family cabin
We will definitely be staying again. My family plans a trip to Cloudcroft about twice a year and this was by far the best place we have stayed. The house was just as listed. Clean, very well stocked, comfortable beds and so much room for kids. Having the cabin back up to the national forest was awesome. Not having a house behind us and all the wildlife was perfect. The location was perfect also just a short drive to the shops and restaurants.

Amazing Cabin
We had such an amazing family trip and this cabin was perfect for all (16) of us, really spacious only down fall for US was that there was only two restrooms but other then that we all had fun and the foosball table was a hit. We didn’t get to see snow which we were really excited about, but we got to go to the ski resort with artificial snow

Family Vacation
We all loved this cabin, super cute, spacious and cozy. The location was great, we all enjoyed the hiking right behind the cabin, such beautiful views as well. Only down fall was Stairs are a bit steep and I took a ugly fall down a flight of them. We enjoyed this cabin, with lots of family time. Thank you for the rental.

Excellent Mountain Getaway
Loved our stay in the cabin. It was well maintained, stocked with everything we needed, and plenty of space. We loved hiking around the property and surrounding trails, exploring the town, skiing/tubing, and loved the bbq and brewery spots in town. Great home base for everything we wanted to do!

Relaxing family vacation
The house was perfect for a relaxing family vacation. The house is clean and has lots of space, with plenty of extra blankets and towels. The kitchen had everything we needed. The view out the back is wonderful with birds, deer, and elk coming by every day. It is an easy walk to the shops in Cloudcroft, and we walked down to enjoy pizza and pies a few times. The hiking trails behind the house are lovely and easy to access.

2 night stay in Cloudcroft
The cabin is as listed. We stayed there for 2 nights and enjoyed the forest view, the jacuzzi and the BBQ We realized the cabin hadn't been cleaned prior to our arrival, the contact with the host to fix this was efficient, someone showed up 15 mn after reporting the issue. Kitchen is well stocked, and all appliance we used were functional. We would come back if we have the opportunity, and recommend this place.

Family Getaway
We enjoyed our stay in this cabin during our recent family vacation. The cabin was very accommodating for our family of 6. The 3rd story loft was perfect for our 6 and 7 year old's that served not only as a bunkroom but also as a playroom with toys. The kitchen included many necessities to prepare meals during our stay. Although we didn't need during our stay, the cabin included a nice fireplace that would serve guests well during cold weather visits. The cabin also includes a nice hot tub that our family enjoyed access to. The location is walkable to downtown via a walking trail not far off the back deck. We would stay here again and recommend to future guests.

Beautiful, Cozy Property
Wonderful stay over Christmas with family.(6 adults, 2 kids) Plenty of space for everyone. Very well maintained and clean. Enjoyed short hikes in the snow, the hot tub, fireplace,(plenty of wood provided ) toys for kiddos, snow tubing, skiing and shopping in town. But most of all just hanging out with the family in the lovely, cozy space and watching the deer visit daily in the back yard.

Wiseman Family Reunion
We first visited Bear Ridge Log Cabin in 2009 when my grandaughters were 7 and 4 and returned several years later. It was o lovely to be back and the granddaughters, now 22 and almost 19 absolutely loved it. The views from the balcony are lovely and having the Lincoln National Forest outside the back door was great. We saw a mule deer, and a mama skunk with 4 little ones. The contact for questions or problems was very responsive to our one call. The book the owners provided was fascinating with the story of how the cabin came to be and loads of local and park information. We will be back!!

Beautiful log home! Much nicer than expected. Perfect for multiple families. The children’s play area was a great bonus. Hot tub, outside grill, and inside fireplace all worked great. Plenty of hot water for multiple showers. We were fortunate to have a lot of snow while we were there and could walk right out into the forest to find a great hill to sled down. We enjoyed our stay very much and we will definitely be back. Thank you so much.
