Very cute home. We enjoyed our stay. We had a few issues but the host was very responsive and resolved the problems quickly. The only con is that the home has a mothball and dog smell that takes a little while to get used to.
Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 27 Oct 2025
Hi Esther, We do not use mothballs and with laminate flooring smells do not really linger much after mopping. We believe with all the rain, our crawl space must have been creating some musty smell. Housekeeping and maintenance were both in after your stay to find no smells but it had stopped raining and dry again. We have since bought a humidifier to resolve if happens. In the future, please let host know of any issues while staying so they have a chance to resolve sooner rather than later. Helps you experience a better stay and them get a jump on the issue. We hope you will give us another try and look forward to hosting you again soon. Best, Kelly

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Foster

Host profile image
I have lived in Ruidoso, NM for forty plus years and been visiting to Cloudcroft forever. Finally, my dreams have come true to have a place to escape my busy life of Ruidoso and getaway to the peace and quiet of Cloudcroft. Just forty miles from Ruidoso, it is a great escape for us and hope it is for you also. We can't always be there with our busy lives, so we want others to experience this fabulous property. We love the great outdoors and New Mexico, so hiking, dirt biking, 4 wheelin, and grillin are our favs and this spot captures the outdoors with a convenience that can't be matched. Reading a book to the rain on the metal roof, is the best relax, promise. We like adding a special touch to our properties and try to think of all the things you might need for that picture perfect vacation. Ask about our other places available to rent in the area. Please remember to pack it in, pack it out while in our gorgeous state.
Cash, the trail dog and I, hope to see on the trail real soon....

Why they chose this property

This Modified Aframe Cabin sits on three lots so has privacy and space to be outside and enjoy the areas nature. The location is convenient, 2 miles from Cloudcroft proper and close from the highway (#130) with a fairly level road and driveway area/metal shop is great for our motorcycles when other properties where not accessible. Ask in advance for usage for motor or RV. The RV concrete pad is a bonus with 220v electric outlet for usage.
We love our neighbors, the circle loop of Aspen to walk our dog and the proximity to Cloudcroft.

What makes this property unique

The bird watching from this property with the higher back deck is fantastic and a special spot. We see and hear many animals, elk, deer, ducks, geese, donkey, wild horses; and often roaming cow, lol. The property was extensively remodeled from the original date and makes it much more modern. The bathroom counters remain to be replaced but basically everything else is updated and modern. No smelly, old cabin here.
I love the privacy found in the Primary Bedroom to the downstairs, with the coffee/bar station, we can enjoy slow mornings and easy sunsets. The guest downstairs can do the same with the lower deck. Gives everyone space to be together but allows for space to relax and have quiet moments. Of course, the location makes for a great run to Cloudcroft and easily back if you want a change of scenery. Close to trails, Sunspot, and skiiing.
