About this property

Cozy 3 bedroom 2 bath historic Cabin Retreat perfect location!

The listed 2-night minimum does not apply to all times. At certain times of the year we have a longer minimum; however, we can often accommodate stays as short as 2 nights on weeknights, or last-minute requests, or if your stay fits well into the calendar. For these reasons, we accept short stays occasionally. If you'd like a short stay, go ahead and inquire and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

El Matador Cabin is the perfect historic mountain retreat. It's in a killer location right in the middle of the rustic village of Cloudcroft. You will enjoy being able to walk to everything including the historic Western Bar, hiking trails, the Lodge golf course, downtown shopping, and more!

This cozy 3 bedroom 2 bath cabin built in the 1940s features a large wrap around deck complete with porch swing. Enjoy your morning coffee while breathing in the cool mountain air! El Matador sleeps 6 comfortably with two giant king beds, and two twin beds. The house boasts a fully-stocked kitchen, pellet stove, 2 flat screen TV's, DVDs for your viewing, high speed internet, and windows EVERYWHERE to enjoy mountain views and air. The cabin also features a lovely patio area complete with a chiminea and gas grill so you can enjoy the chilly mountain nights.

Great cabin for a peaceful Thanksgiving weekend

We enjoy our stay at the El Matador cabin. We like the location of the cabin, quiet and within walking distance to Burro Street and close to hiking trails. The kitchen is well equipped for us to prepare our Thanksgiving meal. Overall we have a great stay.

Love Charming Home

This is our 3rd time staying in this home. Very charming. Have already made a reservation for next year at the same time. The housekeeping service does need to pay closer attention. Very dirty oven at checkin and no toilet paper. Host was unaware.
