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!

We had 6 adults, a toddler, a 7 yr old and 10 yr old. We had everything we needed plus extra. Bonus! The deer coming up to the back door. Great location too! Only downfall….no TV on the main floor. Excellent accommodations.

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.

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.

Refreshing
Myself and some of our family were not able to make this trip but our son, dtr in law and 3 of our grandchildren LOVED the home. It was well stocked from everything to the pantry, linens and firewood. They enjoyed the town and the family of deer that came up to the house. Definitely going to request to stay here again, PERFECT for families with kids. Lots of toys and games wete furnished!

Family trip
If you have kids the loft area is perfect for them.with toys and bunk beds. The Hot Tub was a nice relaxing option available, in great condistion. They had everything we needed and then some. We all enjoyed the house and location. The brewery is in walking disctance, theres a trail practically property adjacent. I would have liked to of stayed longer and gotten some real hiking in. Great spot beautiful home with a very unique story. My husband loved learning about and discovering the jacks. It was great!!

Gorgeous cabin
Overall a wonderful stay. The best family experience. We would go again! Hard to regulate temp in bedrooms. Home was extremly well equipped. Deer came every day outside back door. 25 was the highest. Fireplace was great. Small town was perfect. Hard to drive up hills to cabin with snow.

Lovely time in the mountains
We love NM and have been all over the state but never to Cloudcroft. Staying at this cabin was the best introduction to the town we could have gotten. It was super spacious and clean. The hot tub and foosball table gave our teenagers just enough to do during our downtime. The forest was closed due to fire danger, but there is a sliver of the Osha trail that snakes just beyond the yard, so we explored that. We were walking distance to town and walked everywhere (though, be sure you can handle walking up hills — that climb is no joke coming back to the cabin). We really enjoyed our stay. If our travels ever bring us back to the area, we will for sure book here again!!

Cloudcroft is a village.
The television downstairs didn’t work.. The toilet was repaired immediately after we called. We had two days of snow and we enjoyed snowshoeing out our back door. It might be good to remind future renters that Cloudcroft is a village, so bring groceries.

Second time there
The cabin is looking a little rough compared to the last time I stayed in it a year ago. The beds are getting a little old maybe time to change out the mattresses. Need soap and no trash bags! The kitchen floors probably need to be replaced soon. Overall the place was clean and it is a nice place to stay. Maybe just a little TLC.

Yearly FamilyTrip
The cabin was nice, but the heating system for those sleeping on the second and third levels were extremely hot. Those on the first floor were cold. The bathroom on the second floor we had issues flushing the toilet due lack of pressure. Lastly, the family wanted to watch movies but there was no smart tv therefore no access to streaming services.

Spring break 2023
The futon in the loft was not suitable for adults with a very sagging mattress. The tub shower is inconvenient for adults and the other shower is small and cramped. The hot-tub was not clean; however, management took care of it right away and was very responsive. Deer came up to the rear of the cabin daily, fire place worked great, sheets were very soft, we had hoped for a more secluded area as opposed close neighbors.

Cleaning
Beds were a lot of pet's hair. The blankets in the closet smell dirty. The grill was not working, the gas not up to grill. We have 4 years going in the same weekend on president's day and on this trip the beds unclean were the mayor issue.

Beautiful cabin with beautiful woods in the back. The cabin appeared clean but dishes and pans seemed dusty so I had to rinse everything I used first. Bedding and towels were clean but didn't feel fresh. Went back to check the reviews because I thought I remembered seeing that the house was well stocked as essential items were missing. When I went back today to look (yes several reviews did say that), I noticed the price of the cabin dropped SIGNIFICANTLY per night for the next few months, which was really disappointing, and i am pretty salty about. There was no oil to cook with and the coffee smelled stale. For such a pricey cabin, I would have also appreciated better body soap (they provided miniature wrapped bars). There was no shampoo and conditioner, lotion, or tissues. The smoke detector started chirping the first night we were there but stopped the next day, so I didn't call. It started chirping again the second night lol. There were lots of games to play and the hot tub was nice. The town was cute and I met the mayor, but every restaurant we went to ran out of food, so eat as early as possible. We finally got in to Mad Jack's on Sunday and it was great. We were visited by elk, deer, a skunk, and even a small family of horses. The animals and hot tub were the highlight of the trip. Again, cabin was beautiful, but everything inside felt dusty. I expected better for the price we paid per night.

Great location!
This cabin is close to everything we needed. Walking distance to town, restraunts, running and hiking trails. Our vehicles didn't move all weekend! The hot tub was a nice treat! The open area behind the house was fantastic. Our kids played for hours out there. A few things to be aware of... the house was not well stocked. We had to go get hand soap, laundry detergent, clorox wipes and trash bags... we didn't mind but we also didn't know to bring some of those things (we VRBO alot... most of that is provided). I don't know if it was a busy weekend or the norm but the Family Dollar (the only thing besides an Allsup's... there is NO grocery store!) was very picked over and had lots of empty shelves. Also for a house this size more towels should be available. Really a great house but just a few things to have a heads up about!

Getaway
We went with 3 other couples for a 4 day weekend. We arrived late Friday night but still enjoyed the hottub and the herd of deer that came to visit. The deer returned morning and night and we actually bought a bag of deer corn to keep them from staring us down. We enjoyed eating at the brewery and at Mad Jack's. The wait was totally worth it!! Our least favorite part was the electricity going out in the entire village for the last 22 hours of our stay. The winds were gusting up to 80mph and a tree took out the lines. The temperature was down to 18 degrees but we built a fire and had an adventure. Would just request some flashlights and lanterns because it was VERY dark. Thank goodness the stove and hot water heater were gas powered....we were able to cook some breakfast and wash dishes.
