About this property
Rustic luxury away from it all
Just 15 minutes from the Village of Cloudcroft and nestled amongst the pines, Fawn Passage is the perfect little getaway for one or two. This cabin is not appropriate for small children and you must have pre-approval before bringing a child. For our protection and yours, we have a camera on the front exterior of the cabin, aimed at the driveway.
Fawn Passage welcomes you home to peaceful beauty. Just bring your clothes, we'll provide the rest. You can't help but leave here feeling rested and de-stressed! While we depend on God to provide the wildlife and beautiful weather, we provide relaxation, comfortable furnishings TV with DVD player, lots of books, and WiFi. We do not provide cable or streaming service, and there is no television reception. We do, however, provide over 70 movies for your enjoyment. Feel free to bring a Roku or Firestick to stream movies, if you wish. The stereo is bluetooth enabled so you can connect from your phone and listen to Pandora, Spotify, etc. through the speakers.
We do not allow smoking anywhere on the property - inside or out, and we do not allow pets. Fire restrictions are usually high, but you may use the propane grill on the deck.
If you're ready to feel pampered, come upstairs where we have a queen size bed with an excellent mattress, 2" memory foam mattress topper, 400-500 thread count 100% cotton sheets, a down comforter and fluffy pillows. One short nap on this bed will make you want to go to bed early and sleep in late. All bed linens are provided and all are line-dried in fresh air and sunshine, and then pressed.
Fawn Passage features a well-stocked kitchen, that's ready to cook in or just to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. It includes a full size stove and refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, toaster, and coffee pot, and is fully stocked with new dishes, cookware and crock pots, as well as a gas grill on the deck. We provide you with filtered water, fresh ground Organic Ruta Maya coffee, fresh ground decaf, hot cocoa, hot apple cider, specialty teas, Krusteaz pancake mix, Log Cabin syrup, and a variety of instant oatmeal. We make it easy for you to prepare delicious meals with a well stocked spice cabinet. The kitchen is surrounded by windows, so it's light and airy and offers an excellent view of the wildlife. We provide so many extras at no extra charge, that it's like coming to your own home away from home. If you need it, we probably provide it.
In the bathroom (downstairs), we pamper you with with quality handmade soap and lotion from Thymeless Bath, as well as shampoo, conditioner, a blow dryer and flat iron.
You can relax and unwind inside or out. Our living area includes large comfortable furniture to curl up in and watch a movie, read, snuggle or just take a nap. The woodburner is ready to use, with all the wood provided for you at no extra charge. When it's cold outside, there's nothing more relaxing than curling up on the couch and watching the flames flicker. In the cold months, there are two heaters in the living room, in case you don't want to make a fire.
The covered deck provides the perfect spot to cook steaks on the grill or just sit and watch the hummingbirds. If you pay attention, you might see deer, turkey, rabbits, blue jays, porcupines, elk or a bear.
At Fawn Passage, the summer daytime highs can be anywhere from 50 to 80 degrees with the overnight lows around 45 to 60, so bring a sweater or light jacket. Winter daytime highs can range from 20 to 50, with overnight lows very cold, so you'll definitely need a warm jacket! In winter months (Dec-Jan), we recommend 4WD or chains. You can usually get up our driveway without them, but 4WD makes it much easier, if there is snow. I always have people ask if they "need" 4WD or can they get here without it. 90% of the time you can, but there's always that 10% chance. You'll have to decide if it's necessary.
Fawn Passage is not a hunter's lodge and while we do host the occasional hunter, you will be required to take extra care that most hunters are not willing to do. We have white towels and bedding, as well as light colored carpeting. No field dressing deer or elk allowed on the property.

About the host
Hosted by Lisa Fitzwater
Hi, my name is Lisa and I'll be your host! I'm not just the host, however, I'm also the owner and enjoy making people feel at home the minute they walk in the door to either of our cabins. Because I'm the owner, I have a vested interested in seeing the cabin maintained. I hire someone to clean for me, but I come up regularly to check things and complete detail cleaning that I don't ask others to do for me. As I'm extremely picky about the bedding and towels, I bring all laundry back to El Paso to wash and hang on the line (except for the towels, which go in the dryer).
Why they chose this property
We have two cabins in this neighborhood and we love it. We've been renting our first cabin (right next door) since 2005 and this cabin since about 2016. We've gotten to know our full-time neighbors, as well as many of our part-time neighbors and we all watch out for each other. It's a safe, quiet neighborhood that we love being a part of.
What makes this property unique
Before we remodeled and started renting our cabins, we rented several ourselves. I knew right away that I wanted something more for our guests - I want them to feel pampered, even if they didn't realize. I have over 30 sets of sheets between the two cabin and I wash, line-dry and iron every single one of them. I want our beds to look special and inviting, even if you don't know why. My kitchens are stocked with so many extras, to make cooking a pleasure. I've stayed at both of our cabins many times and that's how I've come to stock it with so many extras. Taking a trip can be crazy enough, we try to help calm some of the craziness! We have a high percentage of repeat renters, which is the highest complement I can claim. Some guests have been staying with us since we started renting and they're practically family now.
