Hello, Linda, it is good to hear that you and yours enjoyed your stay in my cottage. I have a future project to build an overlooking semi covered deck in the backyard that would enhance the view of White Sands National Park. I am glad that you enjoyed the view.
Great property. Beautiful location. Outfitted well.

I’m glad you enjoyed your stay at my cottage. Thank you for taking the time to make an online review and pointing out what made it enjoyable. It helps me to make staying at my cottage pleasant.
Great views over the valley although a little noise from the highway below. House was well supplied and cozy. Clean and tidy. Recommended as a good getaway.
This place was perfect for our visit to White Sands. High in the mountains with a great view and easy access to hiking trails. The place was spotless with all the amenities including firewood for a campfire!
Great location. Perfect house. Our second time staying and enjoyed every second of it. Well stocked kitchen. Comfortable and close to everything. Short ride to Cloudcroft. Great place to relax.

The view is just so amazing and peaceful. Definitely going back with the family again.
Everything in our cottage was perfect. The location is beautiful with views of the mountains. The cottage was clean and check in/out instructions were clear on the app and in my email. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The bedroom and pull out couch were perfect for my 2 kids and me. We enjoyed our stay and would come back if we stayed in High Rolls again.

Thank you, Katie for your review. It helps me to accommodate my guests better. I'm glad your children enjoyed themselves and that you all enjoyed the area. Villacolores will be looking forward to your return.
This mountainside home was charming, comfortable, and in the perfect location. The views were stunning and peaceful. The host was mindful enough to alert us the weather as we traveled to this mountaintop home. Very grateful.

I am happy that my cottage and surrounding area provided you a pleasant stay for relaxation. It is still monsoon season and it is nice to see all the ocotillos dressed up in their green leaves.
What a lovely, cozy little cottage. It's an easy drive to White Sands which was the purpose of my visit.
The cottage is nicely appointed. Alma was very thoughtful and called to check on during a high-wind event.
I definitely recommend this property.
The property was clean and inviting. The kitchen fully equipped. We enjoyed cooking our Thanksgiving dinner there. There are many homey touches to enjoy.
The home was close to both Cloudcroft and Alamogordo.
We found enjoyable activities in both places.
This charming eclectic cottage only about 8 miles from Cloudcroft was the perfect getaway with fantastic views from wrap around windows and private patio. The roomy kitchen was well equipped and has a large table with stools in the center. The host gives friendly service! There is plenty of parking space as we had a pickup with trailer and Model A. Highly recommend!
It had everything we needed, for a truly wonderful stay in the mountains. We were greeted by the neighborhood kitty. Only thing missing was a tea kettle. The perfect location for Nichols Cherry Festival and Floren Lavender Farm. Cloudcroft and Ruidoso too. Thankful that we were able to visit Ruidoso before the fire.
Listing is accurate. Best parts: location, views, windows, and usable outside space. Open flame heaters were responsive and provided warmth. Kitchen well stocked for cooking. We were able to go to Cloudcroft to explore, but not stay at the higher altitude all the time.Downsides: bathroom was cramped, especially the shower; figuring out the heating for day and night. The wood stove looked great and plenty of wood was provided, so we were disappointed it wasn't cold enough and we were too tired to use it.
