The house is absolutely charming! beyond cute. Everything was clean, and what we needed. The back yard was set up for entertaining and very private. We have a huge dog, but he got used to the side yards, and it was perfect. We enjoyed our stay mainly due to the house, being so comfortable, washer dryer, shower, comfortable bed, books, puzzles, and great tv, and stove!

The house was in an excellent location. You can walk to everything! Cute cozy cabin, the backyard was great for my pup and the house was clean. Gave it 4 stars just because When I arrived at the house it was extremely cold. The hosts were very accommodating and walked me through getting the pellet stove going. The pellet stove keeps the front of the house nice and warm, but the back of the house stays pretty cold even with the space heaters. I feel that's pretty normal though for an old house. The heated tiles in the main bath were amazing. Overall the hosts were great and gave lots of good recommendations for town.

Charming Cottage

The cottage is nicely decorated, beautifully maintained, and has everything you need for a relaxed stay. We sat on the front porch and back patio to visit and read in the beautiful Cloudcroft weather. You can walk anywhere in town from the cottage. We had some great walks. The owners were very responsive. We absolutely loved our time in Cloudcroft.

Loved our stay! For dog owners, the fenced back yard was great. It's basically a very big deck and a rocked portion along the side of the house. No questionable area you're worried about what the dog could get into. The front porch is where we spent all our time (with child gate to keep dogs in). Sunrise was gorgeous. Wish I'd noticed the puzzles in front bedroom earlier, we would have worked on one all week! Have always stayed outside of the Village on other visits, but discovered being in town was so much more fun. Will be back!

We are VRBO newbies. We stayed in the Lilac Cottage in Cloudcroft because the pictures looked very inviting. It was better, much better, than the pictures on the VRBO website. The cottage is whole lot bigger than we thought and it was nice, clean and charming, with the cottage vibe throughout. I really don't think we could have asked for a better first time VRBO experience. Cloudcroft was a wonderful village to explore and the people there are so friendly and welcoming. We loved it. Thanks Tamara for answering all of questions before, during and after our stay.
