Absolutely worth the money. Cabin is pretty private and everything is very clean. Its small but that adds to the charm and coziness. Kelly is a terrific host; very very respectful and very easy to contact if something happens. I would happily book this location from her or any other location she has!

This cabin is so charming! Every detail is perfectly planned and the hospitality was exquisite. It’s so cozy and comfortable. We loved the rustic feel and modern amenities. The beds are comfy, and the electric heater/fireplace casts a perfect winter forest vibe. We loved our stay and would definitely return. The host left us delicious pastries from KenneBelle’s bakery (definitely get the pistachio bread!) and we felt so at home. We miss it already!

"Peace & Quiet" is everything it's described to be! My pup and I spent a full work week in the cabin for some respite before heading into the new year; and it was just perfect!!! My 4-legged companion really struggles with firework holidays, and this was the perfect spot for her to be able to get a restful NYE without the typical stress. Our favorite part was having a trailhead just steps out the front door. We had snow the entire first day of our stay and afterwards were able to identify bobcat, bunny, and wild turkey tracks along the trail in the snow drifts!!!!

Nature Retreat

A very enjoyable and relaxing stay. Seeing pines outside your window and enjoying the sounds of nature was a pleasant experience. There’s an entrance to some hiking trails just a couple yards from the cabin that you can fully enjoy. Communication with the property manager is excellent.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Foster

Host profile image
I have lived in Ruidoso, NM for forty plus years and been visiting to Cloudcroft forever. Finally, my dreams have come true to have a place to escape the busy tourist life of Ruidoso and getaway to the peace and quiet of Cloudcroft., hence the name. Just forty miles from Ruidoso, it is a great escape for us and hope it is for you also. We can't always be there with our busy lives, so we want others to experience this unique property. We love the great outdoors and New Mexico, so hiking, dirt biking, 4 wheelin, and grillin are our favs and this spot captures the outdoors with a convenience that can't be matched. Reading a book to the rain on the metal roof, is the best relax, promise. We like adding a special touch to our properties and try to think of all the things you might need for that picture perfect vacation. Ask about our other places coming online soon. Please remember to pack it in, pack it out while in our gorgeous state.
Cash, the trail dog and I, hope to see on the trail real soon....

Why they chose this property

We wanted secluded, near the forest with trail access but easy access to Hwy and Cloudcroft close by. Tons of trees, (friendly neighborhood when we see them), shed for storage and parking, cabin is the cutest and perfect size. You feel like you are in a treehouse and/or camping but modern conveniences like plumbing.

What makes this property unique

50 Yards to the Trailhead, numerous trails to conquer, parking for your ATVs, trailers, newer cabin, built in 2013 so super clean. Abundance of wildlife close to the cabin yard, elk, deer, red fox sightings noted. Great spot to animal watch, watering hole near by.
