Great house in a nice location walking distance from town. We saw both Carlsbad Caverns and White Sands National Park on this trip plus hiked some of the great trails around Cloudcroft. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the hummingbirds at the feeders in the cool weather. It was a great mountain het away. We recommend Cloudcroft Brewery for pizza and beer and cinnamon rolls from the bakery downtown. Host was very responsive and the house was clean and comfortable.

The host was very prompt in responding to our inquiries. We were kindly granted permission to host our son's birthday celebration at the property with our local friends and family. The kitchen was thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need. The children thoroughly enjoyed playing with the board games. We will definitely be staying again soon. Please accept our apologies for the delayed review.

We had a truly wonderful time at Ian's cabin in Cloudcroft! The place was exactly as described, and the pictures don't do it justice. Everything was there that we could possibly need, it was very clean and so comfortable! The views were beautiful and Ian was a great host, very responsive and considerate. We loved being there, thank you Ian for sharing your home!

This was our second year staying here and we just love it. House is clean, bright, and open. We have three young kids and they just adore the bunk bed room and the backyard exploring and sledding. You really can’t beat the location as a home base for Cloudcroft and Lincoln National Forest, and even White Sands was a short day trip away. Ian is friendly and responsive and we hope to be back next year as well!

The house was amazing. It was very beautiful, and the host was welcoming. We had such a great stay here. The kids had fun with plenty of activities, and the scenery was just so beautiful. The fence was perfect for our dogs, and we would just highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a mountain getaway.

The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The fireplace takes a minute to get started but once you figure it out (with help from the directions on the wall) it’s easy and warms the main area of the cabin. Make sure you take a side trip to Pistachio Land and White Sands.

This is THE BEST Vrbo I’ve ever stayed at! The cabin was beautiful, full of amenities, and you can’t beat having the full forest (with a trail!) right in the backyard. Check-in was super easy and the property manager/owner was quick to respond. Omg, and the bedding and towels were all so fluffy and warm. I would definitely book again!

This is a great house, right on the edge of the forest for easy access hiking, but also near the heart of town with food, music, drinks and shops. In my opinion after spending a week in cloudcroft.. its the ideal location for privacy, yet minutes from all the fun. The house was spotless, comfortable, spacious but cozy. It's actually a lot bigger and prettier than the pictures online. The indirect lighting, fireplace and battery candles set the mood and made us not want to leave the house at night. The house is stocked with everything you need. Shampoo, conditioner, soap, laundry and dish items plus everything else so you don't have to go buy everything yourself. We found the four sled disks which saved us from having to rent them at White Sands National Park. We enjoyed the mule deer that wandered through the back yard every day and were excited to see the ferrel horses in the driveway. There are pretty lights on the back patio, lots of cozy blankets, comfortable couch, beds, and dining area. The main television is huge and has all the apps on it. There is a cute game center for the kids, plenty of storage to put clothes, suitcases, food, and travel belongings. There was even a dog bowl for our poodle that came along. We rent a lot of VRBO's and this one was one of the best. No complaints and we will come back.
