Teddy Cloud, Wonderful views ,Great deck and fenced dog yard.

When I first moved out west from Boston I ended up in New Mexico, and used to ride my motorcycle up into Cloudcroft. I promised myself I would one day buy a cabin in the Sacramento Mountains, and finally did it! New Mexico is a special place for us-my Mom lived in Las Cruces and we've retired there from Texas as well. Cloudcroft is a perfect getaway for us because it's a small village and relatively undeveloped (compared to nearby Ruidoso). Getting up to the mountains is something we plan for and anticipate all year.

The deck did it for us-looks out at the mountains and a wonderful view of the meadows. It's surrounded and protected by huge pine trees that provide great shade for reading. We have a high-efficiency woodstove that just about heats the whole place in the winter. Dogs are accepted on approval and it's great and convenient for dogs. The deck is up high and the railings are fenced so dogs can't slip through. This is a unique cabin-we get lots of repeat vacationers who say they love the place. The kitchen is fully stocked and great for preparing meals-the breakfast nook is a great place to drink coffee and look out at the forest and if you're lucky you could see forest animals grazing or passing through, like Elk and deer. Plus, there's a finished play room below the deck with an electric heater and a small pool/ping pong table, TV and a great place for the kids (adults!) or as a getaway to do some quiet reading. What we love about our place is it's out of the village by just 6 miles, 4 miles to Ski Cloudcroft, hidden on a hillside with a dirt packed road, feels really cozy, and there is lots of walking!
