Hiking and motorized trails abound throughout the Sacramento Mountains and the Lincoln National Forest. The early railroad history is evident in Cloudcroft. We highly recommend the Village Museum and the Trestle (a replica of one of the many wooden structures erected so the train could navigate the numerous canyons along the route).

Many restaurants offer great eating opportunities, or you can stay in and enjoy the use of our Super Kitchen. We have a local brewery in the Village.
Snow removal is provided by the Village, unto the the driveway. 2 Snow shovels are provided. Normally, we have 3-5 inches of snow at any given time, then it melts.

Thanksgiving in the snow
This is our second time staying at this property and had another awesome experience. The house and location are both amazing. Darlene and Al are fantastic hosts and are very welcoming and accommodating to our group. We bring UTVs up from Texas and love the ease of access to the mountain trails from the house. After a day of riding the house has everything we need to relax and enjoy time with friends and family. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Perfect Place
Our stay at the Woodlands Chalet could not have been better!! It’s a beautiful property with very nice furnishings. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals, the rooms are large, the bathrooms spotless. Our family was there for 5 nights & loved every minute of our stay. The hosts, Darlene & Al, were so helpful & accommodating. Quick response to any questions & explained various features about the house. The setting is great. The back yard adjoins a national forest & we would see wild horses & deer regularly. I would highly recommend the Woodlands Chalet to anyone needing accommodations in or around Cloudcroft.

Why they chose this property

The location and the amenities lend itself to making a first-class short term rental property. Locate in the Village of Cloudcroft and bordering the National Forest right out of our back yard. The oversized home, amenities and layout of the Woodlands Chalet has no comparable homes in our area. The location is peaceful with low traffic due to being situated on a cul-de-sac at the top of the mountain. Neighbors are mostly retired or part time residents. We offer a propane grill for backyard entertainment with a great view of the forest. The nightly rental rate is based on the first six guests. Additional guests are $60 per guest, per night for the duration of the reservation. All guests must be added, prior to your arrival and paid for through VRBO. Otherwise your reservation will be cancelled if you do not pay for all of your guests.

What makes this property unique

The Woodlands Chalet is secluded away from the hustle and bustle, yet close enough to the Village for a short walk. The Village has several good restaurants, shops, bakeries, hiking and ATV trails. Winter activities would include the Village ice skating rink and the Cloudcroft Ski area. There are several local church services. The Chamber of Commerce has outdoor activities posted on their website. Also, the Lincoln National Forest posts events on their website. Cool weather in the summer months and snow in the winter that is considered "mild and beautiful", by our guests.

Parking is excellent for vehicles and flat bed trailers on the driveway. Our street parking is near our driveway for easy access and availability.

Our guests enjoy the high-end amenities that our home offers to our guests. Our attentive response to each of our families is a joy to us. Our goal is to bring a lasting memory to each guests who stays with us.
