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.
El Matador Cabin is the perfect historic mountain retreat. It's in a killer location right in the middle of the rustic village of Cloudcroft. You will enjoy being able to walk to everything including the historic Western Bar, hiking trails, the Lodge golf course, downtown shopping, and more!
