Great Mountain Vacation
The hosts were so helpful in the days leading up to our trip, sharing tips and ideas for our Cloudcroft visit. When we arrived to the house, it was clean, comfortable and well stocked. It’s the perfect location to walk to Burro Ave or Cloudcroft Brewery. They had the disks and wax available at the house for White Sands. My kids had the best time with all of the board and card games at the house. We really enjoyed our visit.

Wonderful Family Vacation Home
We had an amazing stay in Cloudcroft, NM. This home was in the perfect location (close enough for us to walk several places when it snowed too much to drive), was clean and equipped with everything we needed with Beautiful Views. The owners and property manager were very nice, informative, helpful and prompt when contacting them before/during our stay. We definitely recommend this home if you are staying in this area. The town is Beautiful and family friendly with lots to do. Thank you David and Anne Marie for letting us rent your home allowing us to have a memorable family vacation.

Great Place to Stay
We found the property in a delightful place in town. Close to walk into town and a pleasant deck for late afternoon/evening relaxing. Well apportioned. The house had everything we needed. We were able to walk down to the art and wine festival and enjoyed our time. Our only suggestion would be to begin replacing the pillows in the bedrooms. Beds were just fine. Plenty of room to spread out and visit or have some quiet time. Thanks for providing such a wonderful place.

Great Stay and Awesome Hosts
We decided at the last minute to make a road trip to New Mexico from Austin, TX, as our Southwest flights to Bay Area were canceled for multiple days. We needed more time to research about Cloudcroft area. Luckily, we could get this home for a few nights. David and Anne Marie were extremely helpful in providing the lay of the land about the area and activities. The home was fantastic in such a beautiful location. We felt like we could have stayed in a short-term rental but we rather felt staying in an actual home. Everything from the kitchen, bathroom, and beds are well stocked and well-maintained. There is a guide in the home about things-to-do, places to see in Cloudcroft, and surrounding areas which was extremely helpful. We spent our evenings playing games and cards there were available. If you're in Cloudcroft, look no other place than this fantastic home and awesome hosts.

Well equipped and excellent location
We had a lovely stay. The owners were kind enough to warn us of an impending snow storm and offered early check in at no charge. The home is older but very well equipped with a lovely gas fireplace. We were able to walk to the nearby village and our kiddos enjoyed building a snowman in the backyard space.

Great weekend Getaway
Great location! Perfect place for a weekend getaway with the family. Nice and quiet with a beautiful view. There was 7 of us and it was important that everyone had a bed (and not a roll away or couch). Well equipped kitchen to prepare meals. Lots of games and puzzles for entertainment. Only about a 7 minute walk to the town center- it is easy going down to town, it might be alittle steep going back up (for older people).

The house is absolutely awesome! Everything is cleaned and clearly labeled. David and Anne Marie have thought of everything and they provided me with so many suggestions and tips for enjoying our time at the house. Its located perfectly! Just out of the way but the town is well within walking distance. I wish could put into words how perfect this house is and how awesome David and Anne Marie were but I cant. All I can say is if you are visiting Cloudcroft, you got to stay here. It has everything you need to have an enjoyable family stay, whether you are spending a day in town or enjoying game night inside, you cant go wrong! Thank you David and Anne Marie!

The Perfect Stay
The property is in an ideal location as it is in walking distance to everything. David and Mrs. Ann Marie have stocked the home with pretty much everything you could ever need, even with a bunch of games and coloring books for the kids. Even with the fire restrictions and closures, there is a fenced in yard for the kiddos. We were in constant contact with the owners and they truly made us feel like houseguests rather than vacationers. We cannot wait to stay here again! Herb and Angela Ferguson

About the host

Hosted by David and Anne Marie

Host profile image
We love travel and the mountains and have been coming up to Cloudcroft for over 17 years. We immediately fell in love with the village and surrounding area for its beauty, tranquility, and local and nearby amenities and sights. We started doing monthly rentals of this property a while back and had the opportunity to purchase it and make it available for others to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

We'd been enjoying this property for years as renters due to its scenic location, lay-out, amenities, and comfort. Plus it's a great place to escape those hot summers! There are no mosquitoes or snakes, few insects, and there are lots of outdoor opportunities year-round. The sunsets are gorgeous, and at night, there are many, many stars!

Plus, there are numerous shops and restaurants in town and the surrounding area along with golf, endless hiking and other outdoor opportunities.

What makes this property unique

The house is an easy 5 minute walk into town and to the brewery, and there are numerous scenic trails and vistas nearby. Plus, elk, deer and birds (and occasionally horses) come around to visit regularly. When the farmers' market is running (usually spring to fall), it's also a five minute walk away - it's held at one of two locations right on Hwy 82 (main road through town). The bank of front windows offers a beautiful view of the hills and trees across the way and is a particularly pretty view in the fall when the foliage turns. Lots of natural light throughout the house, and you can sit and relax or visit on the covered back porch or the large deck with seating and umbrellas.
