Mountain Hideaway

Great place to stay in the Cloudcroft area. Far enough out for the solitude, close enough to points of interest in every direction. Will be back for sure.

Cabin Getaway

Darling little cabin tucked in the woods! Stayed for a long weekend and were able to shop, eat, hike and explore nearby White Sands very easily. Cloudcroft is a tiny little town that’s great for small exploration (definitely check out Noisy Water Winery.. great wine and kind staff) but Alamogordo is within 30min and has all your major shopping/pharmacy/grocery needs. House was stocked well and very clean inside. Note that an SUV or tough little sedan is ideal for getting up the steep and slightly muddy street leading to the house…and the house is further up than your map will lead you to. Kelly was easy to communicate with and was helpful start to end of the trip.

Coziness in the Woods

My husband and I had a wonderful stay in this cozy little cabin. Not only is there a hiking trailhead about 50 feet away, but there are many other trailheads that are not far from this location (driving distance). We liked being surrounded by pine trees and enjoyed the quiet. We hope to be back!

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Foster

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 the busy tourist life of Ruidoso and getaway to the peace and quiet of Cloudcroft., hence the name. 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 unique 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 coming online soon. 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

We wanted secluded, near the forest with trail access but easy access to Hwy and Cloudcroft close by. Tons of trees, (friendly neighborhood when we see them), shed for storage and parking, cabin is the cutest and perfect size. You feel like you are in a treehouse and/or camping but modern conveniences like plumbing.

What makes this property unique

50 Yards to the Trailhead, numerous trails to conquer, parking for your ATVs, trailers, newer cabin, built in 2013 so super clean. Abundance of wildlife close to the cabin yard, elk, deer, red fox sightings noted. Great spot to animal watch, watering hole near by.
