Great Mountain Vacation
The hosts were so helpful in the days leading up to our trip, sharing tips and ideas for our Cloudcroft visit. When we arrived to the house, it was clean, comfortable and well stocked. It’s the perfect location to walk to Burro Ave or Cloudcroft Brewery. They had the disks and wax available at the house for White Sands. My kids had the best time with all of the board and card games at the house. We really enjoyed our visit.

Wonderful Family Vacation Home
We had an amazing stay in Cloudcroft, NM. This home was in the perfect location (close enough for us to walk several places when it snowed too much to drive), was clean and equipped with everything we needed with Beautiful Views. The owners and property manager were very nice, informative, helpful and prompt when contacting them before/during our stay. We definitely recommend this home if you are staying in this area. The town is Beautiful and family friendly with lots to do. Thank you David and Anne Marie for letting us rent your home allowing us to have a memorable family vacation.

Great Place to Stay
We found the property in a delightful place in town. Close to walk into town and a pleasant deck for late afternoon/evening relaxing. Well apportioned. The house had everything we needed. We were able to walk down to the art and wine festival and enjoyed our time. Our only suggestion would be to begin replacing the pillows in the bedrooms. Beds were just fine. Plenty of room to spread out and visit or have some quiet time. Thanks for providing such a wonderful place.
