Great Cabin in Cloudcroft

This was an amazing property! The staff was very responsive and caring. The place was stocked with everything you would need kitchen wise. It was amazingly clean, and centrally located in the town so that everything was just a short trip away if you wanted to go somewhere. The front and back porches were amazing to sit and drink tea and watch the birds. I recommend this place to anyone looking to relax in the mountains!

The Keurig coffee maker not working, and no one coming to check on it was disappointing. The other coffee maker did not make good coffee at all. We missed having coffee on the deck in the mornings.

A Great Mountain Getaway

We visited Cloudcroft about 10 years ago, but didn’t get to stay. We always said we’d like to come back and spend some time. One of our criteria in choosing a place to stay was somewhere that had a mountain cabin atmosphere, and the Dancing Artist cabin certainly fulfilled that need. It’s nicely decorated and furnished with rustic Mexican and Native American decor. There are lots of little touches to make you feel comfortable and at home. We settled in quickly and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was really nice to have a kitchen and washer/dryer at our disposal, as it made packing for our trip much easier. The cabin is conveniently located in Cloudcroft, and it’s just minutes to any of the amenities in town. The host was exceptionally responsive, and check-in/check-out was super easy. We’d certainly stay here again!

Things I wish I had known: There was a lot traffic in front of the cabin and other cabins are extremely close on the sides and in the back. **We like to spend time outside. If you don’t mind those things, this is a nice place to stay. The CABIN itself was GREAT and we had DEER, ELK and wild HORSES visit. It’s close to restaurants and shopping. We really enjoyed our stay despite the traffic and dust from it. Neighbors weren’t an issue either.

Cute cabin

This a clean, well organized, nicely decorated cabin. Quiet area. Located just a few blocks from town. Picture of cabin is a little deceiving as there are now cabins on both sides and behind. The whole area could use some cleaning up on the outside. We only used the king bed and it was comfortable. Plenty of hot water. All in all a nice place.

Phenomenal Thanksgiving

My young family and I stayed at Jana's place for Thanksgiving this year, and we had the perfect time. All the amenities were more that conducive to make a great feast, the home was super cozy, the surrounding area was beautiful, and the unit is so close to the main strip of Cloudcroft, so it was very easy to make runs to the store. Jana is an excellent host who was super responsive even on a holiday and overall so welcoming. We'll definitely be looking for this booking next time we plan to visit Cloudcroft.

Quick Getaway

The cabin was perfect for the two of us. We sat on the front deck the first evening and watched a few deer across the road. The property owner had told us about a few locations to go to for good wildlife viewing and some other great local restaurants. Overall, I would recommend staying here and next time we head to Cloudcroft we will definitely be staying here. 10 stars!

Beautiful & wildlife

The entire experience, from reservations to safe travel home best wishes, was absolutely top notch, and much more than expected. The home owner made everything easy, with simple explanations by email, text, and printed at her lovely vacation rental. We hope to make this an annual pilgrimage to the friendly & fun town of Cloudcroft.

About the host

Hosted by Jana D. Voigt

Host profile image
We are Texans that fell in love with New Mexico. One is an Architect and the other is an artist. The mountains are inspiring and renews our spirits! We are surrounded by mountains, aspens, pines, wild life, blue skies, snow and fresh air in the Land of Enchantment.

Why they chose this property

We were enchanted and attracted immediately to the artisan details and craftsmanship of the front deck, and inside the cabin, and the open concept kitchen dining living. Plus we liked that the bedrooms were on separates sides of cabin and each had its full bath.

What makes this property unique

All furnishings, bedding, etc. was purchased new. We were given a blank slate and had fun decorating in a mountain theme. All wood furniture is artisan made and all accessories are in a Indian theme, reminding us of the original inhabitants of the mountains.
