Beautiful Mountainview!
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!

Rest relaxation reset, adventure
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.

Nice getaway.
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.

Disappointed
The house was one of the best equipped properties that we have ever stayed at, and it was also very clean. That said, we left the rental early because it was sweltering hot inside all day and night. We knew that it was not air conditioned, but we were told that it has a swamp cooler. So okay, but the unit was a very small portable unit that could not even keep 1 room reasonably comfortable. The big issue is that it is advertised as being very close to Cloudcroft, which it is, but it was left off that it is 2000 ft. lower in elevation and on the desert side of the mountain. If you want Cloudcroft this isn't it.

Mountain Getaway
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.

Mountain Retreat
The property was everything we wanted and more. In my opinion, the description of the property was quite accurate and it contained more amenities than I have experienced at other locations where I have stayed. It was certainly spacious enough for two and had additional room for other guests as well. Although the bathroom was small it was more than adequate for our needs. It would be problematic for other guests to access during the night though, as it is located off the main bedroom. The property was clean and quiet was with impressive mountain views from the covered patio. A new gas grill, fire pit and wood burning stove with an ample supply of firewood made for a very relaxing and enjoyable time. It is my hope that the property remains available for many years to come as I would certainly like to return there again in the future.

Great location and amenities!
Fantastic property. From the outside to the inside, it was well thought out and equipped for a nice relaxing stay. Coffee, fire pit with plenty of wood, stocked kitchen. Everything we could need. We enjoyed a couple nights here. 30 min to White Sands. 15 min from Alamogordo. Beautiful views, decently private, quiet property. Would stay again!

Road Trip
Stayed here for 2 nights of our road trip. Nothing fancy, but served its purpose. Wife enjoyed the views and the deer in the yard the first night. Shower is as small at it looks in the photos but we made it work lol. Only real complaint is the no AC. A window unit in the bedroom would be worth its weight in gold for summer months there. But with low humidity not sure how practical those are there. We slept on the pull out bed in the living room for the breeze of the cool nights and that worked just fine.

Peaceful little cottage
This cottage was perfect for my two daughters (17 & 21) and myself. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and breathtaking view from the yard. The kitchen had all we needed to prepare meals and liked the table to eat together. We found the bed and couch super comfy! We spent every evening next to the fire pit for the unobstructed view of the stars. If we find ourselves back in the area, we will definitely consider staying here again!

Extremely clean and so much wildlife!
This cozy cabin was extremely clean. I have a habit of looking in corners and different odd places that aren’t usually clean and this cabin was amazingly clean. There was coffee and filters which is a must have for my husband. There were several cooking essentials in the fridge and pantry area. The gas heaters fascinated my kids who had never seen them and kept the cabin very warm. We had no trouble accessing shows on the TV and the windows allowed for great views. We could see deer and elk walking by in the early morning and evening hours. Alma is one of the sweetest owners I have contacted.

Fogged in
We are old and we rested well. The fog was really thick the whole time we were there. There was heavy wind and rain Tuesday night. The pavement was icy so we did a lot of reading rather than going out anywhere.
