Great Home in Cloudcroft
We really enjoyed staying in this home in Cloudcroft. This was a great base for exploring White Sands NP, the Organ Mountains, Three Rivers Petroglyiphs and Alamogorda. The house is very well appointed (including multiple charging stations) and very comfortable. We saw some deer in the evening. The host was fantastic to work with, and we absolutely recommend this property.

Perfect vacation home in the pine forest
We stayed 7 nights in July at the Woodlands Way chalet and had a wonderful time. The house was very clean and in good condition. Furnished adequately and the beds were plenty comfortable. The smart TV and excellent WiFi was a plus.
Plenty of privacy in the pine forest yet only 5 minutes to the quaint town of Cloudcroft. We spent many evenings and mornings on the porch watching elk and mule deer grazing nearby. Norman, the host was very helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be back.

Lovely Mountain Cabin in Beautiful Cloudcroft
Our family (including grandsons) had a wonderful time at this comfortable cabin in a beautiful mountain location! The amenities were everything you would need and the beds were quite comfortable! It’s easy access to Cloudcroft and other activities in the area (fishing, White Sands, Sunspot Observatory and lots of hiking). We loved watching the deer and elk and hummingbirds from the front and back porches! Great place to getaway from the Texas summer heat! Host was available and responsive. Would love to return!

Wonderful Stay
Woodlands Way cabin was an exemplary accommodation. Located close to restaurants and shops but situated in a quiet neighborhood, surrounded by forest. Front deck, master balcony and back porch all wonderful for wildlife and bird viewing. In fact, a sweet pair of Western Flycatchers have built a nest on the back porch soffit. The owners of this cabin have put careful thought into providing appropriate supplies, kitchen ware, and toiletries such as shampoo, soaps, hair dryer etc. Beds are super comfortable and split-level layout of cabin sequesters master bed-bath suite with accompanying balcony nicely. The host was very responsive (I didn’t now how to stream a show, lol). The cabin was extraordinarily clean. Happy to rate this accommodation 10/10. Book early as I expect it is destined to a popular choice.

Spring Break Getaway
The house was in a beautiful location. We had a great time. The snow storm provided a nice opportunity for the boys to play in the snow, which is something we don't get at home. It made for some postcard worthy pictures. The house was clean and the kitchen was well supplied. The one suggestion would be to provide more towels.

Cloudcroft vacation
We found the property clean, and in good order other than the food that was left in the pantry, as well as in the freezer contrary to the establish owners guidelines, the thermostat set to go no higher than 70° was no problem for the bedroom downstairs with the chimney operating body kept the upstairs master bedroom, a little cooler than ideal The issue was sold by blankets we found in the closet
The property location gives a nice feeling of isolation but it’s really close to restaurants in the town. There’s plenty of wild life early on the morning and late in the afternoon and with the snow we had during our stay. It was a very enjoyable experience overall.

Woodlands Way
The only complaint we have were the mattresses. In the master bedroom we could feel the springs of the bed. We tried sleeping in a different bedroom. It was uncomfortable also. If you plan to cook in the house, there are minimal tools for that. We bought a colander and a skillet that was big enough to fry bacon in.
The bonuses were the deer and elk in the yard each evening and early morning. Our host made sure the fireplace was in working order and there were plenty of towels and supplies.
