Absolutely magical!

Absolutely magical! This cabin in the woods was the perfect mountain getaway for our family. The peaceful surroundings and stunning views made it feel like we were in our own private slice of nature. Our kids were completely captivated by the birds—especially the hummingbirds who put on quite the show as they zipped around and playfully fought over the feeder!The hosts were truly wonderful—welcoming, thoughtful.Whether you're sipping coffee on the deck, listening to the wind through the trees, or simply soaking in the stillness, this cabin offers the kind of serenity that’s hard to find. A perfect place to disconnect, recharge, and enjoy the beauty of the mountains. We can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic host!

This is a cool off the grid cabin in the NM mountains. Birds, elk, squirrels, and humming birds. Check in is very easy. There is a gate with a remote to get to a forest road.

Great rustic cabin, very quiet location up a 1 lane private track. Near to cloudcroft. Had a great 1 day/2 night stay. Breakfast provided, which was nice (eggs, sausage, pancake mix). Slept our family of six easily. My kids got a kick out of the composting toilet. I’d stay again.
