Beautiful property. The driveway was a little tricky with our large F-350 truck, but we figured out a way to make it work! Easy check-in and access to the house.

Cloudcroft is one of our favorite small towns to visit, and we especially like staying a little outside of town. BJ and Judy’s property was a perfect distance from town, making it quite accessible. It was quiet (even with being on the highway!) and restful. The amenities were just right, and I especially appreciated the helpful posted notes around and the nightlights in the bathrooms! Got to enjoy some “visitors” several days, with one particular young doe looking at us as if to question what we were doing in her yard. Ha! I would definitely recommend their home for a nice, relaxing getaway.

We enjoyed the property and the home very much. It was well appointed.

Our stay was very relaxing and we got to see quite a bit of the wildlife in the mornings. The only drawback is the highway sound but I forgot it was there after some hours again thank you for having us.

Wonderful little cabin

It was easy to warm up and keep warm, and very easy to just sit down and relax in. We used it as our base camp for hiking and exploring.
