About this property

Cozy 3 bedroom 2 bath historic Cabin Retreat perfect location!

The listed 2-night minimum does not apply to all times. At certain times of the year we have a longer minimum; however, we can often accommodate stays as short as 2 nights on weeknights, or last-minute requests, or if your stay fits well into the calendar. For these reasons, we accept short stays occasionally. If you'd like a short stay, go ahead and inquire and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

We were very happy with the cabin. Well stocked with all needs and very easy to find. Convenient location right across the street from many places to eat and browse for souvenirs. Check-in was smooth and the host even left us a best peach pie that I have ever eaten. My children and family loved it, we played board games late into the night. If I am ever in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate booking this place another time. Thank you so much for helping our family experience the area.

Nice Cabin in Cloudcroft

The cabin was comfortable and well equipped. We stayed for seven nights and had a wonderful time. We saw elk and deer everyday while sitting on the front porch. Would definitely stay again.

Great cabin for a peaceful Thanksgiving weekend

We enjoy our stay at the El Matador cabin. We like the location of the cabin, quiet and within walking distance to Burro Street and close to hiking trails. The kitchen is well equipped for us to prepare our Thanksgiving meal. Overall we have a great stay.
