This was our second stay in this gorgeous property and it exceeded our expectations once again! I can’t imagine a better place for families with children, and the backyard has direct access to trails. The neighborhood is peaceful and there is abundant wildlife to observe. We enjoyed watching the birds, deer, and horses. The location makes it very easy to enjoy the shops and restaraunts. We will be back again!

The hot tub water was cloudy and had a foul order when we turned the jets on. Other than that, we all agreed it was the best cabin we had ever stayed in! It was perfect for our family! A beautiful home in a great location! We loved the hike to Burro Street!

Beautiful cabin with everything you need. Very clean. Great for school age kids and dog friendly. We especially enjoyed the trail right outside the back door and listening to the elk bugle at night. The location was great. We would definitely recommend, and plan to stay here again in the future.

Great Family Cabin

Our family enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Location and proximity to the OSHA trail was very enjoyable. Amenities were good - the kitchen is particularly well equipped to handle big family meals and it was great that they’re dog friendly. We had a couple minor plumbing problems and the owner was quick to reply and get it resolved. Minor gripe is the “just enough to get you started” for paper towels, tp, trash bags that so many properties seem to be doing now. Seems a little cheap for a property at this price point. That aside, we’d happily stay here again if we came back to Cloudcroft.

Everyone loved it!

Whole family of 11 (6 adults and 5 children) met up here for 4 nights. What a great place to meet with the family! The three floors allowed everyone to spread out. The kitchen was better stocked than anywhere I've stayed before. Right up against the forest and just a beautiful house. Quality appliances and ample printed information (interaction via Vrbo chat was slow, but local contact was quick to respond). Foosball table was a nice surprise. The only word of warning would be that the notes about recommending 4WD due to the steep incline I assumed was for the driveway.. It's actually to even start to ascend into the neighborhood. If your vehicle couldn't do a 16% grade for 50-80m on a gravel road, you may not make it to the house! It was rainy and we did just fine in a FWD minivan, one of our Focus STs had some issues in dry weather, but made it up. Just something to be mindful of.
Beautiful craftsmenship.
Won't soon forget our stay!

Spring break getaway

House was as listed, and offered plenty of sleeping arrangements and blankets. The only issue was it looked like the dishwasher did not work all that great. It had lots of residue and many of the utensils in the drawers were dirty. Other than that, no complaints. You are close to everything in town and lots of wildlife in the back.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. Overall rating was a 4 because the beds on the main floor were not comfortable, per the mother in laws that slept in them. I also think it would be good to put command hooks in the bathrooms for towels. The downstairs bed was amazing!!! The home is beautiful with lovely scenery. Loved the stay!!

Great Experience!

Overall what a wonderful experience at this cabin! My family and I regularly stay at cabins in cloudcroft for vacations, we have tried many, and this will be a cabin we book again. It was very easy to get to, the information online and on the listing was plentiful. The driveway was large and easy to park 4 vehicles in. The cabin itself is beautiful, and I appreciated the mini biography written on the cabin and its construction. The view was gorgeous, and we loved how close the Lincoln forest was, being quite literally in the backyard! We had a lot of deer and animal sightings which was very exciting and magical especially for our little ones! The cabin was well stocked with all the necessities including some extra laundry detergent and dryer sheets. The rooms were great and the kids had a blast with the ps3 games and foosball table! We loved how child oriented everything was and with the exception of the stairs the entire home was very child friendly. All the children had a great time here and had so much fun with all the provided activities and toys. The cabin was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked . We have nearly no complaints other than we wish the beds were a bit more comfortable and bigger. We will book again in the future! It was well worth the price.
