Nice Quiet Getaway

This home is a lovely somewhat secluded getaway. The pictures were true to the home. The host was responsive and quite pleasant to work with. We saw hummingbirds, jays and a group of wild horses from the upper deck during our stay. That last bit was magical!The only issue I had was the house smelled like moth balls (3* for cleanliness because of this; otherwise it was impeccable). I didn't message the host about this because there was nothing to be done to rectify it. It was so intense that when I got home, the clothes in my bag smelled like moth balls.

Cabin in the Woods

This is definitely a comfortable cabin in the woods with several of the mature pines built into the decking. The cabin has a terrific master upstairs (up some very steep stairs) with its own deck and a 2nd bedroom downstairs offering a walk in jacuzzi. The living / kitchen is not large but is comfortably functional and this room also has its own deck. There is a small fenced in area for you pup and nice grounds surrounding the property with a gas grill up some more stairs. We stayed during some fierce winds and some snow but none of the weather issues caused us any issues. The hostess was attentive and communicative. We enjoyed our stay and will likely visit this cabin in the woods again in the future.

Fun Stay!

Our favorite part was the central location to all we did in the area. Keeping in mind that this is NM, and there is a little distance to fun, it added mountain beauty to our fun getaway weekend! It was a lovely spot, slightlyout of Cloudcroft. So pretty and great plenty of amenities!

Cozy Cabin

We had a wonderful stay at Birds of a Feather over the holiday. It provided a fenced in area for your pets to relieve themselves. Ample amenities, minutes away from Cloudcroft village and all they offer.

About the host

Host profile image
I have lived in Ruidoso, NM for forty plus years and been visiting to Cloudcroft forever. Finally, my dreams have come true to have a place to escape my busy life of Ruidoso and getaway to the peace and quiet of Cloudcroft. Just forty miles from Ruidoso, it is a great escape for us and hope it is for you also. We can't always be there with our busy lives, so we want others to experience this fabulous property. We love the great outdoors and New Mexico, so hiking, dirt biking, 4 wheelin, and grillin are our favs and this spot captures the outdoors with a convenience that can't be matched. Reading a book to the rain on the metal roof, is the best relax, promise. We like adding a special touch to our properties and try to think of all the things you might need for that picture perfect vacation. Ask about our other places available to rent in the area. Please remember to pack it in, pack it out while in our gorgeous state.
Cash, the trail dog and I, hope to see on the trail real soon....

Why they chose this property

This Modified Aframe Cabin sits on three lots so has privacy and space to be outside and enjoy the areas nature. The location is convenient, 2 miles from Cloudcroft proper and close from the highway (#130) with a fairly level road and driveway area/metal shop is great for our motorcycles when other properties where not accessible. Ask in advance for usage for motor or RV. The RV concrete pad is a bonus with 220v electric outlet for usage.
We love our neighbors, the circle loop of Aspen to walk our dog and the proximity to Cloudcroft.

What makes this property unique

The bird watching from this property with the higher back deck is fantastic and a special spot. We see and hear many animals, elk, deer, ducks, geese, donkey, wild horses; and often roaming cow, lol. The property was extensively remodeled from the original date and makes it much more modern. The bathroom counters remain to be replaced but basically everything else is updated and modern. No smelly, old cabin here.
I love the privacy found in the Primary Bedroom to the downstairs, with the coffee/bar station, we can enjoy slow mornings and easy sunsets. The guest downstairs can do the same with the lower deck. Gives everyone space to be together but allows for space to relax and have quiet moments. Of course, the location makes for a great run to Cloudcroft and easily back if you want a change of scenery. Close to trails, Sunspot, and skiiing.
