Ringing in the New Year in this cozy chalet!

It was a perfect space for 14 of us! Plenty of beds for everyone. Spacious living and dining seating for us to spread out or be all together at once. Large and nicely equipped kitchen for all the chefs to keep our stomachs as full. Wonderful & kind host!

Christmas Family Vacation

Our family stay at the chalet was exceptional. With fourteen adults and three babies under the age of two, we all had plenty of room to relax and enjoy spending time together! We loved the large kitchen for preparing meals and dining area, with plenty of seats for all. Our whole family loved walking out the back door and going on family hikes in the national forest, the deer and wild horses that came up every evening to the backyard were a special bonus. We all enjoyed gathering downstairs and playing games and watching movies. It was nice to find accommodations for our large group with comfortable beds and furniture. We also had plenty of parking, with eight vehicles, and the road to the cabin and parking area are not steep and easy to drive. The hosts were gracious enough to bake us a cake and take such good care of us, checking in periodically to make sure we were enjoying our stay and if we needed anything. I would highly recommend the chalet for large groups.

Fantastic Mountain Chalet in Cloudcroft

Our family of 9 had a fantastic time in this cabin. It's high on the mountain, but easy to get to and close to town. It's stocked with everything you would need to spend lots of time at the cabin. We absolutely loved it!

Thanksgiving in the snow

This is our second time staying at this property and had another awesome experience. The house and location are both amazing. Darlene and Al are fantastic hosts and are very welcoming and accommodating to our group. We bring UTVs up from Texas and love the ease of access to the mountain trails from the house. After a day of riding the house has everything we need to relax and enjoy time with friends and family. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Amazing Cloudcroft Stay

I highly recommend Darlene and Albert's place when you visit Cloudcroft. A large group of friends and I just went for the weekend to enjoy the beautiful scenery and the Lincoln forest off road trails. We could not have felt any more welcome, Darlene and Albert gave us great tips and recommendations of where to head for the weekend. The chalet is great, perfect for a large group of friends or a family get together. We will definitely be back to their place!!

Perfect Place

Our stay at the Woodlands Chalet could not have been better!! It’s a beautiful property with very nice furnishings. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals, the rooms are large, the bathrooms spotless. Our family was there for 5 nights & loved every minute of our stay. The hosts, Darlene & Al, were so helpful & accommodating. Quick response to any questions & explained various features about the house. The setting is great. The back yard adjoins a national forest & we would see wild horses & deer regularly. I would highly recommend the Woodlands Chalet to anyone needing accommodations in or around Cloudcroft.

Spring vacation

Everything was wonderful, there were a few things that we did not approve of: the fact that we had to remove the linens from beds on our departure, no disinfectant wipes to clean kitchen counters, not enough trash bags, the additional cost to check in earlier or to leave later. This should be already part of the included cost.

Beautiful, peaceful home and location

We always enjoy traveling to Cloudcroft but needed a large spot for our extended family of 10 this summer! This house was definitely stunning upon walking in and the area is one of the nicest and best in Cloudcroft in my opinion. We spent tons of time on the front and back porches and there is a fenced area in the back which was nice for our young kids that we didn’t want wandering. Beautiful view of the forest and even White Sands and Sierra Blanca were visible during our stay. The house was incredibly spacious and set up great for a large family vacation- plenty of common area to hang out but lots of rooms and bathrooms for privacy. The only thing that could be better is if you could use the laundry without paying extra, but there is a fairly cheap laundromat in town just minutes away if needed as well. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Albert and Darlene!

Disappointed

We didn’t actually stay at this property because they canceled on us. We decided on the spur of the moment to go to Cloudcroft for a couple of days. I hurriedly booked and forgot to put in amount of guest staying. Darlene quickly called me and asked me to remedy that which I did. She told me the price would increase which I was fine with. However, I didn’t realize that I would need to go back in and authorize the payment again since I had already done that. My husband had gout so I was busy doing the packing and driving so I didn’t see the emails. The day of check in, we went to Carlsbad Caverns so didn’t get the calls and emails because of no service. So on the day of check in while we were en route to property they canceled our stay. I understand their need to do this. However, I had Darlenes contact info so I contacted her and offered to PayPal her for that night and actually went ahead and rebooked it for the next two nights but she canceled that booking as well. She was very rude and not accommodating at all. She ignored my call and sent me a rude text message. She didn’t try to remedy things at all. At around 10. Pm and By Gods help I was able to contact another Home owner in Cloudcroft and was able to stay at a much better home for which I’m thankful! Not trying to hurt anyone, just telling it like it was. I did tell her that I would leave a review so that’s what I’m doing. Don’t pay attention to the star rating as I didn’t actually stay on the property, just had to leave a star.

Why they chose this property

The location and the amenities lend itself to making a first-class short term rental property. Locate in the Village of Cloudcroft and bordering the National Forest right out of our back yard. The oversized home, amenities and layout of the Woodlands Chalet has no comparable homes in our area. The location is peaceful with low traffic due to being situated on a cul-de-sac at the top of the mountain. Neighbors are mostly retired or part time residents. We offer a propane grill for backyard entertainment with a great view of the forest. The nightly rental rate is based on the first six guests. Additional guests are $60 per guest, per night for the duration of the reservation. All guests must be added, prior to your arrival and paid for through VRBO. Otherwise your reservation will be cancelled if you do not pay for all of your guests.

What makes this property unique

The Woodlands Chalet is secluded away from the hustle and bustle, yet close enough to the Village for a short walk. The Village has several good restaurants, shops, bakeries, hiking and ATV trails. Winter activities would include the Village ice skating rink and the Cloudcroft Ski area. There are several local church services. The Chamber of Commerce has outdoor activities posted on their website. Also, the Lincoln National Forest posts events on their website. Cool weather in the summer months and snow in the winter that is considered "mild and beautiful", by our guests.

Parking is excellent for vehicles and flat bed trailers on the driveway. Our street parking is near our driveway for easy access and availability.

Our guests enjoy the high-end amenities that our home offers to our guests. Our attentive response to each of our families is a joy to us. Our goal is to bring a lasting memory to each guests who stays with us.
