Cabin was exactly as described. The road was clear of snow buildup and our 12 passenger van never had an issue. Inside of cabin was in very good condition and the area was beautiful.

We enjoyed our stay in Angel Fire this summer. The cabin in the woods was somewhat secluded and gave us a nice central place to stay while touring Taos, Red River and Angel Fire. Overall the value was good...

This cabin felt like home! ( Would LOVE to have it for my home!) It is spacious, well kept and appointed and CLEAN!! There was everything one needs to enjoy their stay in the cabin, tv, music, books, full kitchen,grill etc. The setting is perfect. It is on a quiet cul de sac with a wonderful front porch from which one may view the wild life. I saw rabbits, elk, ground squirrels and a great variety of birds. The owner was quite helpful in making sure I had everything I needed before I got to Angle Fire and was great in answering my many questions. It has been months since I have been there, I still find myself daydreaming and reminiscing about that place! Make sure you go to the Vietnam Vets War Memorial. It is a solemn yet beautiful place of honor for our vets. There are tons of trails to hike. I am a 60yo overweight out of shape lowlander and even I found trails I could handle! The BEST restaurant I found in eastern New Mexico is in Cimarron. It is on the main drag thru town and is called Heck's Hungry Traveler. WONDERFUL!!! The golf course nearby is both beautiful and affordable. I just can't find ANY down side to this cabin or to the area it is set in! I WILL be back!

Perfect place for our family. Very cozy and stocked with everything we needed. We saw elk and deer in the backyard within 10 minutes of our arrival. Very close to ski resort. We had a blast!

Great stay at Cabin In the Woods

Our stay at Cabin in the Woods was great! We enjoyed everything and certainly enjoyed the deer every morning & evening as they passed through the yard. The grandchildren loved watching them also. The cabin & amenities made it feel like home. We had a nice snow the first 2 days of our stay & the kids enjoyed the slide down the hill out back (so did the adults). Our next trip to Angel Fire will definately include a stay at Cabin in the Woods.

Owner response: Thanks for taking the time to comment on your stay in the Cabin in the Woods. It sounds like you probably found the sleds that are in the closet by the front door. I try to provide everything you would expect in your own home and it is very satisfying to read your statement that "the cabin and amenities made it feel like home". Please do keep my properties (Cabin in the Woods and Mountain View Condo - VRBO #46963) in mind the next time you visit Angel Fire.

We loved our stay at your cabin. Definitely coming back! Thank you for the awesome rate and hopefully next time we go we will be able to stay longer than 2 nights. Everything we needed was in the cabin and we left it as clean as we found it. We had a hard time finding it the first night because we got there about 9pm, but I was really satisfied with the way prudential set it up for after hours. Like I said enjoyable vacation, beautiful cabin, and an awesome time. Thank you

Cabin in the Woods is Awesome!

My family and I stayed at the Cabin in the Woods for Thanksgiving of 2011. I have to say this was one of the best Thanksgivings we've had. We have two son's agees 17 & 21 and they loved it. The hiking was great. The pictures represented the property perfectly. It was very clean and well kept. It had everything we needed. Booking the property was simple and everyone was very friendly. The only advice I would give is to call the day you are scheduled to arrive to make sure they have the key ready to be picked up. I would definetly reccomend this to anyone. I know that we are definetly going back.

We just returned from a stay at Cabin in the Woods, and truly loved our time there! It is comfortable, bright, and airy, not too far from town, yet snuggled back in the woods on a quiet cul-de-sac. Clean and well-equipped, too. The open layout makes it much larger than it actually is, and everything was in great working order. Saw many a mule deer roaming behind the house, and the trees are spectacular this time of year!

Our stay at Cabin in the Woods was wonderful! The cool weather was a perfect escape from the Texas heat... we had one afternoon shower, and it was just delightful sitting on the front porch and enjoying the rain. The cabin is spacious, and the kitchen is well-stocked with appliances/pots/pans. We decided against going out to dinner and cooked two nights just so we could enjoy the beautiful evening. On our last morning, we had a back-yard visitor. I almost dropped my coffee cup scrambling to get the camera to take pictures of the bear that came into the yard!!!

We stayed in the "Cabin in the Woods" for 4 days in May 2009. There were 12 family members, 5 children and 7 adults. The cabin was perfect for our get-together. There was privacy for the kids to roam free outside. We had plenty of space to store our belongings. The upstairs master suite with its own balcony was very private. The huge porch was a great added plus. The hummingbirds were the most colorful that we have ever seen. The accessibility to the town and everything else is good. We found Angel Fire has alot to offer. Thank you Mr. Countryman for keeping your place so adjustable to group needs. The place is in good running order and very clean.

Wonderful house! I was so excited from the minute we pulled up to the house. It is very well stocked, clean and cozy. The ski slopes are a quick 5 minute drive away. Our little girls loved playing in the snow in the back yard. We defintely felt like we were in a secluded cabin in the woods. Mr. Countryman, we thank you for the opportunity to stay in your lovely home and we appreciate your hospitality!

Very nice, clean and relatively new cabin with all the amenities. Would stay there again. Only 1 minor issue: The Dish Network satellite package is barebones.After long day of hiking we wanted to kick back and watch MNF, but no ESPN!!

Owner response: I will agree with your comment on the DISH package and I had considered upgrading, but you are the first person to mention it. I appreciate your suggestion and I will look into upgrading to a package that offers a better variety of channels.

We stayed at cabin in the woods over Labor Day week-end. It was great! We had deer off to the side of the cabin and Elk in our backyard. I sat out on the deck every a.m. with my coffee and watched the hummingbirds. It was so peaceful just what we were looking for. The accomadations were Great. It is a wonderful place to get away to for some RR.

This is a nice retreat from the heat in the summer. It is tucked away in the woods, with deer, elk, chipmunks, etc. roaming around the place. We took pictures of the deer in the driveway. The covered porch is a great place to read and unwind after a day of golf or hiking.

We stayed in "The Cabin in the Woods" while attending a wedding in Angel Fire in June 2008. There were five in our party. The accommodations were great, very clean and homey. It was a peaceful area and quite enjoyable to sit on the porch and have our morning coffee. We would definitely stay there again.

February 21-25, 2008 The Cabin in the Woods is a lovely place to stay especially in the snowy season. It was very well supplied and clean, comfortable, and cozy. It provides plenty of windows to reflect on the beauty of nature and to catch sight of the lovely deer in the woods. It is quite near to town, but was a quiet isolated retreat which we thoroughly enjoyed. We look forward to staying there again in the future.

The Cabin in the Woods is a beautiful place. It is tucked away in the trees exactly as shown on the website. I spent many hours walking in the area, it is so beautiful in every direction you look. I enjoyed seeing the wildlife. My favorites were the little squirrels in the front yard. I loved to sit on the porch at twilight. It is so quiet and when darkness falls you won't believe the stars. My husband greatly enjoyed the golf - what a beautiful course. I am thankful for everything we experienced there. We hope to go back soon.

We just stayed in the Cabin In The Woods this last weekend May 25-27. There were 10 adults and we were all comfortable. The accommodations were very good, the place was very clean and even had a few groceries which was very nice. If we hadn't brought our own, we wouldn't have starved to death. It was very nice not having to bring our own linens and such. FYI, for anyway planning to stay, I think the local grocery closes around 6 or 6:30pm. The cabin was very cozy, and you really did feel secluded. Three elk walked right across the street and we were able to get some really good pics. If we go back to that general area, we will be sure to try to stay there again.

We stayed in the Cabin during our spring break in March and absolutely loved it! It was like new and very roomy. The master upstairs gave my husband and me the privacy we needed. Every room had it's own tv and the kids enjoyed playing the video games. We weren't sure the location was close enough to the slopes, but the drive was only about 5 minutes and the parking was not a problem. We will stay there again if we go back to Angel Fire. Enjoy!

While we have vacationed in Taos and Colorado many times, this was our first trip to Angel Fire. The cabin is great. Lots of room and everything you need to have a comfortable stay. It seems to be a new property and was very clean, well furnished, with great beds and linens. The area around the cabin is spectacular and you feel very secluded. We had hoped to arrive by 6pm the day of our arrival, but an ice storm in Texas and then lots snow coming into Angel Fire delayed our arrival until 11pm. The next morning Angel Fire was paralized til about midday in clearing the roads. We were stranded at the cabin without food provisions. The property manager and his wife graciously transported us by snowmobile to the grocery store to get supplies. I've paid more to have less fun. The cabin was perfect, the snow was beautiful and the skiing was great.

Our family went on our first ski trip. We stayed with some friends in the Cabin in the Woods. When we first arrived there was very little snow and we were worried the skiing may not be so good. We were very impressed when we arrived at the cabin. All accomodations were more than acceptable. Even the kitchen was furnished with more than we have seen at other rental properties. The setting was beautiful, especially after 52" of snow fell during our stay. So needless to say there was more than enough snow for skiing and playing. The woods behind the cabin were beautiful with all the snow that fell. We look forward to coming back in the summer season and eventually again during skiing season. The owner of this cabin has been so generous and very helpful when we had questions. He provided us with more than enough information for our trip, since we had not skied before. Our trip was memorable for so many reasons and it was nice to have a great place to stay.

The Cabin in the Woods has only been available for rent since November of 2006, so there aren't any guestbook entries yet. Hopefully with the many pictures on my personal website you can see that I have tried to furnish the house so it will feel like your own home.
