Fall🍂 Deals in effect for NEW Luxury Cloudcroft Cabin! VIEWS⛰️ Wildlife 🦌

Welcome to The Elk Chateau!

This luxury mountain home is being offered for rent on VRBO for the very first time! The chateau was recently renovated with custom designs and quality touches throughout the home. Only 13 minutes from downtown Cloudcroft, with absolutely stunning back porch VIEWS, the ability to sleep 15 PEOPLE in beds, a high-end KITCHEN, a first-class MOVIE THEATER set-up and a vintage ARCADE room...the Elk Chateau was designed to be a step above anything else in the area.

🐻Whole home WATER FILTRATION system w/softener and INSTANT HOT WATER HEATER
🐻Memory Foam mattresses on both King Beds
🐻The thickest, softest carpet you have ever felt on the top & bottom floors (seriously)

Let the kids enjoy the huge basement with 12' ceilings, a custom fit leather couch, beanbag chairs and stream a movie on the 77" TV while the adults sit on the back porch in one of our brand new Adirondack or rocking chairs...soaking in the cool mountain air. It's truly difficult to describe the magic of the Elk Chateau unless you experience it on your own!

In the basement we also added a brand new SONOS SURROUND SOUND system for the ultimate movie watching experience. You can easily fit your entire group on our custom leather couch with plenty of space on the floor for sleeping bags, beanbag chairs, etc! Next to the movie room we have an ARCADE ROOM w/basketball, MS PAC-MAN, MORTAL KOMBAT and even the new TMNT ARCADE Game!

Upstairs, the LOFT is one of the nicest spaces in the whole home! It has a reading couch, a brand new FOOSBALL Table, and a foldable card table w/4 chairs for putting together puzzles or playing games. Both bedrooms upstairs are HUGE with plenty of space to play, read, or just enjoy some story telling.

All of our Bedrooms have new pillows and luxurious sheets...we skimped on nothing! Our towels are high-end Turkish Cotton that are thick and SOFT.

Our kitchen is FULLY STOCKED with everything from wine glasses to waffle makers and everything in between! We love preparing food in our family and wanted to ensure our guests had every available opportunity to make world class meals in our kitchen!

The Elk Chateau sits in the Waterfall neighborhood just 13 minutes from downtown Cloudcroft. Our driveway was recently redone so most normal vehicles (not a Corvette!) will make it in just fine in the summer months. Like nearly all mountain homes in the area, you will need 4WD and snow tires when the snow starts to fall!

What makes staying with us different? You will be interacting DIRECTLY WITH US during your entire stay. We are not a large property management company. We are a family dedicated to providing you with unmatched customer service! Any and all questions or issues that arrive, we will PERSONALLY HANDLE for you.

Can’t figure out how something works? We will PERSONALLY work through it together!

**IMPORTANT NOTES**
- Our driveway is gravel, not paved.
- There is a sharp 180 degree turn to enter the driveway above the home. If you have a large wheelbase vehicle (Full Size Truck or SUV), you will likely need to make a multi-point turn to complete it. It can be intimidating if you aren't familiar with mountain driving.
- NO TRAILERS of any kind are allowed on the property due to the sharp turn at the top of the driveway. Trailers also risk damaging our storm weather culvert at the top which is needed to keep the driveway safe.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Basement - Bedroom #5: King Bed w/ensuite tub/shower combo
Bedroom #6: 6 x Twin Bunks w/ensuite tub/shower combo
1st Floor (Entryway) - Bedroom #1: King Bed w/ensuite shower and separate tub
2nd Floor - Bedroom #2: King Bed w/shared bathroom with tub/shower combo
Bedroom #3: Twin over Full Bunk w/shared bathroom with tub/shower combo

Our OPEN CONCEPT plan is perfect for enjoying each other’s company while sitting next to the fireplace, cooking up a meal in our FULLY STOCKED kitchen, or just sharing in life's moments sitting up at the kitchen bar!

NO SMOKING or VAPING at the home!

High Chair, Pack-N-Play, and kids’ place settings provided

ENTRY:
