Lovely spot and the cabin had everything you could need. Only two miles from town and lots of good hiking spots within 20-30 minutes or less. Even a walk in the neighborhood was a good workout with the hills. Our two small dogs even had a fenced area for potty. We spent many lovely hours on the deck listening to the birds. The one small drawback was the business across the road which could be somewhat noisy even early in the morning and depending what kinds of equipment was being run you could get the smell of diesel. Nothing to be done and we did t let it spoil our enjoyment of the outdoors. Town as only a two mile drive or 30 minutes to Alamogordo if you had specific shopping needs. Loved the area and would come back. Host was lovely and checked o. Is a few times to make sure we didn’t need anything. Great stay.

This was a great place to stay to explore southern New Mexico. The location and the cabin are very nice. We loved having the birds visit us on the balcony. The upstairs shower could be a little tight for a larger person, but we were fine. Other than that, this cabin is very nice, and we would highly recommend it. The host, Kelly, provided any needed communication in a timely manner.

We had a wonderful stay (our second stay here) and would absolutely come back! The downstairs walk-in tub is such a fantastic feature—comfortable, relaxing, and a real luxury after a day of exploring. Upstairs, the bedroom is incredibly spacious and thoughtfully designed. I especially loved the coffee bar, which made it so convenient to enjoy morning coffee without having to head downstairs.One of the best parts of our stay was waking up each morning to the peaceful view of the trees, breathing in the fresh air, and enjoying the quiet surroundings. It was the perfect place to relax and recharge.Kelly has done an exceptional job creating a warm, comfortable, and welcoming home. Every detail made us feel at ease, and it was clear how much care has gone into making this a special place for guests. We highly recommend this property and look forward to staying again!

About the host

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 my busy life of Ruidoso and getaway to the peace and quiet of Cloudcroft. 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 fabulous 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 available to rent in the area. 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

This Modified Aframe Cabin sits on three lots so has privacy and space to be outside and enjoy the areas nature. The location is convenient, 2 miles from Cloudcroft proper and close from the highway (#130) with a fairly level road and driveway area/metal shop is great for our motorcycles when other properties where not accessible. Ask in advance for usage for motor or RV. The RV concrete pad is a bonus with 220v electric outlet for usage.
We love our neighbors, the circle loop of Aspen to walk our dog and the proximity to Cloudcroft.

What makes this property unique

The bird watching from this property with the higher back deck is fantastic and a special spot. We see and hear many animals, elk, deer, ducks, geese, donkey, wild horses; and often roaming cow, lol. The property was extensively remodeled from the original date and makes it much more modern. The bathroom counters remain to be replaced but basically everything else is updated and modern. No smelly, old cabin here.
I love the privacy found in the Primary Bedroom to the downstairs, with the coffee/bar station, we can enjoy slow mornings and easy sunsets. The guest downstairs can do the same with the lower deck. Gives everyone space to be together but allows for space to relax and have quiet moments. Of course, the location makes for a great run to Cloudcroft and easily back if you want a change of scenery. Close to trails, Sunspot, and skiiing.
