Cozy Bear was a terrific get-away cabin for activities in the area. The weather was terrific, even with just a touch of rain. The area is beautiful. The cabin offers serenity and the joys of bird watching on the back porch. Terrific for decompressing from life’s daily grind.

Loved how secluded it felt while still being minutes from town. Had everything we were looking. Especially loved listening to all the birds on the balcony in the mornings.

Great place. Don’t let the “off grid” keep you away. You will never know it with all the comforts of home as well as feeling so remote but literally minutes away from town. The back deck was awesome. Hearing an elk bugle was icing on the cake.

Great hosts! Super accommodating. The check in process was easy and explained well. The kitchen had just about everything we needed especially since we were on vacation and looking forward to not cooking. Nice bathroom w/ shower. The beds were very comfortable. The cabin itself was nice and a little rustic; just what we were hoping for. Quiet & set in the woods with a wonderful view of a valley from the back deck. A perfect place to relax, kick back and enjoy the peace & quiet but close enough to Cloudcroft, Ruidoso, Alamogordo and White Sands. Would definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Becky

Host profile image

My husband, Garret, and I relocated to the beautiful mountain town of Cloudcroft in 2020 from North Texas. Since then, we've been completely captivated by its serene charm. It's a truly remarkable place, offering a level of tranquility that's hard to find elsewhere. We have spent countless hours exploring the surrounding natural wonders, marveling at all the different wildlife and enjoying the birdwatching opportunities. The variety of species we've encountered has been astounding, from the vibrant hummingbirds flitting through the wildflowers to the majestic hawks soring overhead.
But perhaps the most unforgettable experience has been the nighttime stargazing. The lack of light pollution reveals a celestial canvas of unparalleled brilliance, transforming the night sky into a breathtaking spectacle. The clear, crisp air enhances the viewing... making every star, constellation, and shooting star feel incredibly close. We truly feel blessed to call Cloudcroft our home, and we love sharing this experience with all who visit.

What makes this property unique

Cozy Bear Den is located four miles outside of the village and hidden up a mountain gravel road. Nestled on the edge of the Lincoln National Forest, the cabin is secluded and offers a perfect escape for those seeking tranquility and rejuvenation.
