Wonderful stay

Overall great stay! Well appointed, clean and safe house for a perfect (and peaceful) getaway. The kids loved watching the deer in the backyard. Close to the town and a nice drive to Ruidoso. As most have mentioned, the driveway is a little challenging, but once you get the hang of it, no problem. Instead of backing into the driveway, I went up the hill and turned around and pulled in. I found this easier. Looking forward to our next trip.

Overall, amazing house! Loved the location, the driveway was a bit of a challenge. It’s close to the main village and has beautiful walking just along the neighborhood. We ate at Big Daddy’s Diner, which was right down the street, 10/10 stars! It was also a quick trip to Winter Park in Ruidoso where there’s a mountain rollercoaster that was one of the best parts of the trip. It was great to come back to a quiet, beautifully decorated home to end our days.

Beautiful mountain cabin

My family and I had a great stay at this cozy cabin nestled in the pines! The cabin was stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We were impressed with how clean it was inside, it looked like a brand new home. We enjoyed sitting on the porch in the evening listening to the sounds of nature around us. The driveway is a little tricky, but if you back in from the main road and then pull forward to the cabin it’s a piece of cake! Highly recommended, would stay here again!

Good Time

The house was pleasant to stay in. It was very quiet, and peaceful. We had 2 couples and each couple had a baby under the age of 1. Both babies stayed in the room with their parents so we didn’t use the 3rd bedroom but we never heard each other at night or heard the other couple’s baby crying since the floor in between us really helped to keep the noise levels down. All in all, this was a great stay with lots of good outdoor space.

Nice House, Difficult Driveway

Very well appointed, everything was excellent. However, the driveway was very hard to navigate and a bit treacherous. I wouldn't recommend this house if you are not an excellent driver with high confidence backing up into a small space. Perhaps the owners will redesign the driveway, in which case I would happily stay there again. There are many stairs both leading into and within the house, making it difficult for anyone with knee or hip problems and maybe elderly folks.

Beautiful Home!

The house was great! Very clean, modern, cozy, with all the comforts of home. We would definitely book again. A few notes: - I sent several messages to the property manager PRIOR to booking to request details about the property and never received a response. No problems communicating AFTER booking. -As others have commented in reviews, the driveway might be difficult for some. It requires backing up a narrow, fairly steep, gravel/rock hill. -For those looking for a quiet getaway: The house next door is under construction. Fortunately there was no construction noise during our stay. However, I was told there is no way for the owner to know if and when construction would occur so he could notify potential guests. As a property owner I understand the issue, but as a renter/guest I would want to be made aware of the possibility.

Beautiful Mountain Retreat

We really enjoyed our long weekend Labor Day stay in Cloudcroft. The house was a great place to call home during our trip. We would visit again! Pros: - Very clean house, modern, all the luxuries of home - Very homey with cute decor and comfy furniture to lounge. - Wildlife watching was great from the front drive chairs in the morning. We saw deer, elk, birds, and even had a kitty cat greet us each morning. - Loved the games and books to use that were in the house. -Modern appliances and pretty much everything you could need(pots, pans, chopper, utensils, etc) to cook all sorts of meals. Cons: - The driveway: getting into the drive way is very difficult. We were in a suburban and had to drive to the top of the hill, turn around, and come down to get into the driveway. When we tried to back in as stated in the directions, we got stuck and it was almost impossible to get traction on the loose gravel. - This home probably isn’t the best choice for older people or those with difficulty climbing stairs. There are stairs to the front door and to all bedrooms once inside. Overall it was a great trip and we would recommend this home to others. Just bring a 4-wheel drive vehicle!

BEWARE OF THE DRIVEWAY IN THE WINTER

Overall, we had a FANTASTIC trip! We came in for a short ski vacation. Only problem was that the driveway became impossible to access via vehicle once the snow started. Even in a truck with 4wheel drive and winter tires, we couldn’t make it back in and had to park on the main street. Which meant we had to carry all of our bags down the two driveways through a foot of snow upon our departure. Property management team does not salt or clear the driveway and there are no snow shovels available. Only tool was a broom we found in a closet that we used to clear the snow from the porch, stairs and our vehicle. The mountain received 19 inches of snow in 24 hours during our stay. Even with chains on the tires, we wouldn’t have made it up. We watched several snow plows attempt to make the climb up as well but none were successful. I read reviews of this driveway being tricky even during summer months. Knowing what we know now, we would not stay in this location again during the winter months. But we would definitely give it a try during warmer months. The home owner was very responsive and made sure that we had everything we needed during our stay otherwise.
