Loved the location. Backyard is next to trails in the forest. Careful of the native wild horses..ha tho the dominant one let us know we were close enough. Log cabin was cozy & perfect! Kids fed deer & even petted a few of them while feeding off the back deck. Ended each day in the relaxing hot tub.

The house was incredible. Impeccably clean, and well maintained. The host was very helpful. There was even a guide to the city that included their family’s story and how the cabin was built. 10/10. Hands down best Vrbo experience we’ve ever had.

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!
