Super Clean!

One of the cleanest VRBOs I have encountered. Great location, everything you need, wish there weren't so many fees. Price is deceptive.

Excellent cabin for families with young children

Cabin very roomy, especially central room. Well equipped: high chair, Pack n' Play, even a fly swatter. Excellent washer and dryer. Large outside deck. Good wildlife viewing: elk, wild horses, deer. Quiet neighborhood. Large master bedroom and bathroom. Cabin clean upon arrival. Hostess eager to help, suggesting a nearby pediatrician for sick toddler. Provided map to cabin to avoid steep roads and other information about sites and cafes. Good WIFI and streaming channels. Small backyard has gate to access national forest area. One guest did not like the toilet being open to the master bedroom.

A nice retreat

Thanks for letting us stay at your cabin. This trip was long but once we were able to get into bed, it was relaxing. The property was a little difficult to get to, and since we came in super late/early, we had to figure out some things on our own (Jesus sent maps that made so much sense...the next day). Once we were able to navigate to the right path, we understood that there is only one way to get up the slick hill and to the cabin. We also got stuck each morning in the driveway but I blame myself for those. Otherwise, the property was delightful. We had some older kids that wanted some separation and this place was (somehow) great for that. Perfect for gathering, as well as getting comfortable and waking up to horses on the back of the property each morning definitely helped with that. I'm not sure about the others but the king bed was super firm and I expected worse sleep. Surprisingly, I woke up super refreshed each morning. The water was nice and warm but I might suggest adding some basics like onion/garlic powder for cooking. Something to note for those going to ski cloudcroft -- check conditions first. We rented this property with the hopes of skiing 10 minutes away and while there was snow, it wasn't enough to open the majority of the mountain. We ended up driving and hour and a half each day to ski Apache. Still a great time though!
