Cloudcroft trip

Cabin is neat and clean and well supplied. It’s not large but we stayed out in the national forest all day. The cabin made a good comfortable base camp for two people.

We enjoyed the property and the home very much. It was well appointed.

Our stay was very relaxing and we got to see quite a bit of the wildlife in the mornings. The only drawback is the highway sound but I forgot it was there after some hours again thank you for having us.

Wonderful little cabin

It was easy to warm up and keep warm, and very easy to just sit down and relax in. We used it as our base camp for hiking and exploring.

Great visit to Cloudcroft

Beautiful property...close enough to town, but a very private and tree-filled location. Saw deer and elk from the porch! The cabin is outfitted well and was super-clean. Thanks for a great few days. I will be back!

Great house in the pines

We found this cabin to be very clean and comfortable. The upstairs has a bit of a low ceiling, but seemed to fit right in with the ambiance of the property. Would definitely recommend.

Beautify stay

The cabin views are beautiful and the cabin is small but gorgeous. It was very quiet and peaceful. We ventured out behind the cabin along the old logging road and it was a beautiful walk. The cabin has everything you need if you want to cook. We decided to get food in Cloudcroft. I would stay here again!! Highly recommend
