About this property

Retreat at Saviour Trail, New Mexico for your Reunion or Family get away

Home is about 1500 square feet, set on 10 acres of pasture and woodlands. Carefully decorated for our family—welcoming; seems like home. Knotty pine cabinets and trim with Wood and carpet floors. Gorgeous; private view of the mountains, (7700 elevation). Very peaceful and somewhat secluded. Lots of wildlife: we see elk, deer, and turkey on the property, and have heard mountain lions, and seen evidence of bear. When in season we have several varieties of visiting hummingbirds. Bring your 4 wheelers, bikes, and skies. In the winter there is a nearby (5 mile) ski area; ice-skating in the village; tubing and sledding hills on the property. Ruidoso and White Sands are about 40 miles away. Trail maps for hiking and riding in the vicinity, including maps of Lincoln National Forest are available. Restaurant and shopping guide in the village (Cloudcroft, 7 miles away). Golf-course available at the Lodge, great restaurant!
4-Wheel Drive Vehicle is advisable during the winter!
Horses and pets (for a fee) are allowed.


During the winter months 4 wheel drive is advisable.

very cozy and comfortable cabin. The kitchen was very well equipped, the beds were very comfortable. The location was fantastic, we saw deer in the front field every day and elk as well. We’ve stayed at a number of locations in Cloudcroft and this has been the best we will come back

Quick Getaway To Nature

Ran to the mountains for a quick long weekend and found a vacation in nature that recharged our batteries. Close to national monuments and an overall charming town. The cabin is as advertised and had everything we needed for a cozy stay. Would stay again and definitely recommend!

Family getaway

This cabin was an excellent stay for our family of 7. The property was a cozy, lovely place with full amenities. The fridge and kitchen has a rotating pantry and staples fyi. The beds were comfy, the wood burning stove warmed the cabin perfectly, plenty of charming touches throughout. We did come in from ruidoso and gps took us through a very long unpaved route, good to know. Otherwise the home is a perfect getaway!

Charming getaway

Lovely older cabin with modern necessities, (heat, hot water, electric.) Semi-secluded but near main road to Cloudcroft. Beautiful views off front porch where deer and elk appear in the evening and early morning. Pool table in the basement provided entertainment. Overall a comfortable, rustic getaway in the Lincoln National Forest. Make sure you get detailed instructions on how to access the cabin.

The best Christmas Day

This cabin was everything we wanted to have for an unforgettable Christmas Day. The cabin was cozy and homey. The fireplace was picturesque with the big windows behind it and the trees outside. It was easy to find and had planty of space to park a huge Chevy Express 15 passenger van. The property owner was very easy to get a hold of and very very sweet and kind. This was a most excellent experience. Highly recommend.

Private charming gateway

This is a charming gateway in the mountains not far from town. I would recommend to arrive during day light as it could be tricky to find at night... The kitchen cleaning could be improved but the bed were comfortable and clean. We faced a heater problem and had to use the fireplace to warm the house. Lucky the owner had stocked up the wood for us ( 28F outside). Rusty could be difficult to reach but once she called back she was very reactive to our heater situation.

Beautiful home in the mountains

We came Cloudcroft to spread my MIL’s ashes on the 1 year anniversary of her passing. The whole family came up and everyone got their own place to stay. We were wanting to get together and have a cookout the night before and none of the other host would allow many people. I contacted our host and they said that would be fine. Our house was the favorite of everyone’s. We all went on a hike through the beautiful mountain woods. The kids played frisbee while hotdogs were being cooked and it was just an overall great experience and the hosts were amazing. The house was beautiful, clean, and so cozy. My favorite part was the big front porch with rocking chairs and the huge window in the living area looking out into the woods and being able to watch the many hummingbirds flying up to the feeder. I would definitely love to come back and stay here again.

Cozy stay in Lincoln National Forest

Innkeepers gave us great directions. Property listing is accurate. Not far from White Sands National Park. Beautiful mountain area. The neighbors dog barked most of the night and we could hear that clearly in our cabin. We felt the cabin maybe needed a good cleaning. We would stay again. Plenty of room for grandparents and parents and kids.

Amazing cabin in an amazing location!!

This cabin is beautiful and the location is unmatched!! Watching the elk in the meadow every morning while drinking coffee was magical!! The kids loved the treehouse. They had a zip line but we opted not to use it. If you’re looking for a calm and magical place this is it. The only thing we had an issue with was the cleanliness of the cabin. There was hair all over the master bathroom, looked like someone had shaved their beard and never cleaned up after it. The sheets and bedding smelt odd so we washed them before bed and all was good. communication could have been a bit better. Asked the day we got there for the Wi-Fi information and never received a text back the 5 days we were there. I found it under the night stand in one of the smaller rooms on top of the modem. So if you book with them, that’s where it’s hiding aside from those two things it was perfection!! Would stay again in a heart beat!

Absolutely Amazing!

We stayed at this property to celebrate Thanksgiving with our son who works in Carlsbad. Coming from Colorado the location was gorgeous with all the amenities needed for a relaxing holiday. We were visited by turkeys, deer and elk during our stay and being able to have our dogs along was the reason behind using VRBO vs a hotel. Thanks to great communication with Rusty our trip was absolutely amazing.
