Comfortable and Serene
This home was convenient, clean and comfortable. It was well stocked. The wrap around porch was nice but had limited seating. The master bedroom was roomy and the bathroom area with 2 sinks was nice. The beds were comfortable. The entrance had just a few steps and the driveway was level.

Great location!!
This was our first time in Cloudcroft, and this was the perfect location to stay!! Walking distance of the main street (as long as you dont mind some hills!), boarders national forrest with lots of wildlife, and very clean. The only suggestions I have for future travelers is to bring extra items like dishwasher pods, trashbags, and any kind of food storage containers as they provide very few. I would also note that although there is seating for 4 outside, they are two high chairs and two low chairs, so my family of 5 could not eat together outside at the same table. But, it gave the kids a chamce to eat without us hovering! This is a great place! Elk, deer and even a herd of horses came through multiple times during our stay!

Wonderful Cabin in Cloudcroft
We had a very relaxing few days at this cabin. The only negative was the snow caused a major issue getting out of the driveway. We were told that if we didn't have a 4 wheel drive vehicle, there was an alternate route to get to the cabin. BUT, we couldn't get out of the actual driveway in our van. Otherwise, it was FANTASTIC!!!!

Excellent cabin for families with young children
Cabin very roomy, especially central room. Well equipped: high chair, Pack n' Play, even a fly swatter. Excellent washer and dryer. Large outside deck. Good wildlife viewing: elk, wild horses, deer. Quiet neighborhood. Large master bedroom and bathroom. Cabin clean upon arrival. Hostess eager to help, suggesting a nearby pediatrician for sick toddler. Provided map to cabin to avoid steep roads and other information about sites and cafes. Good WIFI and streaming channels. Small backyard has gate to access national forest area. One guest did not like the toilet being open to the master bedroom.

A nice retreat
Thanks for letting us stay at your cabin. This trip was long but once we were able to get into bed, it was relaxing. The property was a little difficult to get to, and since we came in super late/early, we had to figure out some things on our own (Jesus sent maps that made so much sense...the next day). Once we were able to navigate to the right path, we understood that there is only one way to get up the slick hill and to the cabin. We also got stuck each morning in the driveway but I blame myself for those. Otherwise, the property was delightful. We had some older kids that wanted some separation and this place was (somehow) great for that. Perfect for gathering, as well as getting comfortable and waking up to horses on the back of the property each morning definitely helped with that. I'm not sure about the others but the king bed was super firm and I expected worse sleep. Surprisingly, I woke up super refreshed each morning. The water was nice and warm but I might suggest adding some basics like onion/garlic powder for cooking. Something to note for those going to ski cloudcroft -- check conditions first. We rented this property with the hopes of skiing 10 minutes away and while there was snow, it wasn't enough to open the majority of the mountain. We ended up driving and hour and a half each day to ski Apache. Still a great time though!

Enjoy the cooler weather
The weather was great, and the cabin suited our needs very well. Due to the heavy recent rains, the road was in rough shape, but not the fault of the property owners.

Clean and Great Location
My family and I had an amazing vacation at this cabin! This was the cleanest place we have stayed in a long time. Everything was as stated in the listing. This home backs up to the Lincoln Forest with beautiful views of the trees and we were able to see many animals on our stay. The location was close to town, but still in a place that felt a little more secluded. It was in a very quiet area. We will definitely book here again if we return to the area.

Lovely Cabin, with Comfortable Beds
The home is lovely & surrounded by a gorgeous view of the Lincoln National Forest & ALL the wild life ( Deer, Elks& Wild Horses and Lots of Birds). The time spent on the deck was much needed. The cabin was VERY Cleaned & well equipped. When needed, the host were quick to respond to questions. Overall, our trip was pleasant one and we would recommend a stay in this beautiful cabin.

Much Needed Mountain Getaway
This was our first time to stay here. Everything was just as we hoped and since it was just my Spouse and I we had plenty of room. It wasn’t hard to spend almost all of our time outside on the deck enjoying the cool weather and deer and elk that would come by. The street out front was very rocky and rutted from the rain, so we just took it slow when pulling up or leaving. Would definitely come back here again!
