There's a snow shovel on the porch for your use in case of snow, but please remember to put it back after using it.

July rental

Water issue is a problem. And the location is not ideal. Neighborhood is run down and access to area is in need of upgrade. The cabin we rented was very adequate but lacks surrounding elements to be great .

Disappointed

House did not meet my cleanliness expectations. Host added unreasonable charges. I think host misused security cameras. We spent most of our time on the porch and it had not been cleaned in a long time. I tried to communicate respectfully with the host, but she was uncompromising and unprofessional. I would not stay here again.

Pacific Northwesterner's cabin stay

We were on the road from Dallas to El Paso (came down here from Seattle to see the eclipse) and wanted to stay a couple nights near Cloudcroft, which I had visited when I was a toddler in the early 80s. This is a super cozy cabin and our 9 and 11 yr old boys thought it was the best place we stayed on the whole trip. About 10 min from Cloudcroft. Google Maps got us there easily but would be good to have offline maps downloaded because network is spotty up here. The room layout was great for our family. Stars are amazing up here so go out at night and check them out. We loved the nightstand outlets, plugs plus USB! (Too many rentals we struggle to find outlets for everybody's devices!) Don't forget to check out town, which you'd miss if you just stay on the highways. We had an awesome breakfast at Big Daddy's one morning. We got takeout pizza from the Brewery in town, and noticed that it looked like a pretty cool place with live music. Also an easy day trip down to White Sands and Pistachioland which was well worth it. You can get your fill on samples. The owner was great about instructions and wildlife viewing tips. We didn't see any, but we probably slept in too much! Thanks!
