4 Oaks Cabin is an absolutely wonderful mountain retreat, and I give it 10-stars: From the beautifully designed cabin and thoughtful décor to the magnificent fireplace, plentiful firewood, fully stocked kitchen, and the sauna we used every evening, every detail feels carefully considered. The cabin was exceptionally clean and comfortable, and we loved cooking there nearly every night. Set high in the Lincoln National Forest and surrounded by magnificent Ponderosa pines, the setting is truly breathtaking. We spent 10 days there in mid-August, and each evening we enjoyed sitting on the deck in the cool mountain air—sweater weather in August! At night, the sky was spectacular, with more stars than we ever see from Dallas, TX including several shooting stars. There are so many hiking trails nearby and each one different and has something special to offer. We also loved the scenic drive into the charming town of Cloudcroft, which we made several times and never tired of—the 25–30 minute drive along the meadows and mountains. Our visits in Cloudcroft included visits to The Lodge for coffee and Kahlúa, and of course we had to try Mad Jack’s BBQ, which was well worth the long wait and they are rated #7 in the nation on Yelp. What we loved most, though, was the peaceful seclusion of 4 Oaks Cabin: you truly feel away from everything, yet Cloudcroft and trailheads are an easy drive when you want to explore. The hosts were also wonderful—kind, thoughtful, and incredibly responsive
