About this property

Black Bear Cabin - Amazing Sunset Views

Welcome to our cabin in the beautiful mountain village of Cloudcroft, New Mexico - elevation 9000 feet "above stress level!" Located less than a half mile from Burro St but with a secluded feel. 3 private bedrooms, 2 baths; sleeps up to 8. Spacious family/living room with large windows for sunset views, TV/DVD/BluRay player/Roku, and a selection of board games & puzzles. Newly renovated furnished kitchen. Enormous walk-out elevated deck with covered and uncovered sections - enjoy the sunsets or starry nights. Off street parking, level road access. NO SMOKING/VAPING, NO PARTIES, NO PETS.

This cabin features a large dining area with centrally located wood burning stove and a spacious family/living room with large windows for enjoying the evening sunsets while you play a board game or watch a movie (Roku provided; guest to bring your own account logins to streaming services).

The newly renovated kitchen is well equipped with pots, pans, dishes, glasses and a variety of utensils (no dishwasher). A few complimentary K-cups and hot chocolate packets are provided to enjoy on your first morning.

The master bedroom is on the main floor and features a king size bed and en suite bathroom with shower. A second full bathroom with shower/tub is also on the main level.

Downstairs are a laundry washer and dryer as well as a private bedroom with one queen and one twin bed. The downstairs opens to a covered lower deck with a gas grill and access to the backyard.

Upstairs is a cozy kid's loft with a small lounge area and one more twin bed.

The family room also features a queen size sofa bed bringing the total sleeping arrangements up to 8.

Each room has a baseboard heater and the centrally located wood stove adds extra heat on the colder winter nights (wood provided). A built in convection fan can be used to force warm air from above the wood stove into the downstairs bedroom.

The back patio opens onto an enormous deck with benches, picnic table, and lounge chairs. Sweeping views of the White Sands, Sierra Blanca Peak, and of course the famous Cloudcroft sunsets. Take the stairs down from the deck to the back/side yard with another picnic table, charcoal grill, and firepit area.

This cabin has an unbuilt lot on either side and nobody behind which gives it a great feeling of privacy and seclusion, even though it's very conveniently close to the village!

Wildlife viewing opportunities are common, with elk, deer, turkeys, and hummingbirds making appearances.

It's a very short walk or drive to town. If you forgot anything, the Family Dollar store has a wide variety of products, and the Allsup's gas station has a small selection of groceries available 24 hours.

Access is easy and direct from the Village along a well maintained, level road, so access is good year round with most regular vehicles, although 4WD/AWD is recommended in the winter. Off street parking is provided for up to two vehicles on the pull-through driveway. It's an easy half mile walk, drive, or bike ride to the center of town to enjoy the restaurants, shops, and recreational opportunities. Go for a hike or mountain bike ride, or play a round of golf at the Lodge immediately up the hill.

Required disclosure: There is one security camera on the front of the cabin, which looks out at the driveway and street. It is used to assess weather and snow conditions for plowing. It has no visibility into any interior or exterior living space. It is continuously on.

Weekend getaway

We enjoy the hiking trails in Cloudcroft and this cabin was a good combo of being close to the town area and trail heads, but what really drew us was the view from the deck. We spent most of our cabin time out there, especially at sunset.

Weekend getaway

Thank you Luke fornsharing your beautiful home with us. My family and I had a wondeful time at Black Bear cabin. It is clean, well stocked, and extremely convient. We were able to take a short walk to the main areas of town. However,the main draw was the amazing sunset views from the huge deck. We look forward to returning sometime soon.

Relaxing with Beautiful Views

Our stay at Black Bear Cabin in Cloudcroft was just what the doctor ordered after 8 days of cross country travel (moving). The sunset views each evening were stunning and the location was ideal for walking to golf or grab sweet treats in Cloudcroft.

Wonderful, Cool Summer Getaway

Black Bear Cabin is just as advertised. It's conveniently located near Cloudcroft, yet very peaceful. We enjoyed the spacious common area and deck. One recommendation...put a couple of umbrellas out near the large table on the deck. It's really exposed and can get hot in the afternoon sun. Overall we highly recommend the place!

Perfect Thanksgiving Trip!

The house was absolutely perfect for my family’s Thanksgiving break! We were there for a whole week and made a huge thanksgiving meal! House has everything you need. Views were breathtaking. Wood burning stove warms the house great. We will definitely be booking again.

Rainy getaway

We love the property. It has the best view from the deck. We really enjoyed getting away from the West Texas heat. The place was clean, however there was a musty smell on the lower level. There were no batteries in some of the remotes and we couldn't find the remote for the T.V. in the main bedroom. We had a really good time and would stay again.

Cabin with great views

Nice cabin. Three levels. Close to town. Very large back deck with great sunset views. The owner immediately responds to any questions. We saw elk several mornings grazing in the side yard. The only con is the traffic noise that can be heard from the back deck since it overlooks a two lane highway.

Amazing

Not only was the house well suited to our family, but also the mountain view, snow play in the yard, and wildlife awesome. Several times we even walked to the town square through the snow covered streets which reminded us of visiting Austria. It was very evident that the hosts take care in making guests stay great, and we look forward to returning.

Beautiful and quiet mountain getaway

This was a lovely property for our family of four, but could have easily added another couple. Lots of space and comfortable beds. The location is perfect and close to town, but also far enough away that you feel secluded. Bring a few extra cooking supplies, if you’re planning on mostly cooking meals yourself and be prepared to do your dishes or bring some paper goods. All rooms have little electric wall heaters that work well. Part of the house gets pretty cold in the winter mornings, but the wood burning stove is lovely, if you can get it going. Consider bringing your own kindling/paper, if you plan to. Lots of extra firewood provided though. No doubt, we will enjoy checking it out in the summer as well!

AWESOME LOCATION

The cabin really was in one of the best locations in the village. The view can’t be beat. We walked to town every day via the path in the back of the cabin. There is also a driveway, whereas most other cabins on the street do not have that luxury. The only thing I’d recommend is that the hosts replace some of the fans. There are a few that just don’t blow well…so the cabin rooms did get very warm. The loft room was always too hot to use. I’m sure this is a rare occurrence as it’s not typically over 80 degrees (like it was this week). I’d love to come back in the colder months, because I bet the temp is awesome. We would love to visit Cloudcroft again, and would book this cabin in a heartbeat. Thank you!

Cozy retreat from the rain

We stayed 3 nights with one toddler and 4 adults. The shared space in this cabin is wonderful - big dining table and nice kitchen for family meals. Nice area to hang out and some games keeping us entertained. The master is also wonderful and the upstairs single worked well for my mom, would be great for a tween or teen also. The downstairs room was a little cramped for the two adults and one kiddo but I think it would work great for just kids especially or just a couple. The hot water had a little trouble keeping up with full baths for a toddler but worked fine for staggered showers. It was rainy all weekend and we were so happy to have this lovely spot that was warm and comfy in between our short excursions!

This is a great, very clean cabin for a family! The open area is very spacious for everyone to gather. The beds were very comfortable.

My family had a great experience at the cabin. I have 3 little ones which loved all the stairs and playing on the side lot. My older sister and nephew enjoyed the fire place and deck. Over all the cabin was great. The location and view is amazing . We could even see the cabin from one of the trails. I totally recommend the cabin and will definitely try visit again.

Beautiful and cozy cabin!

My family of 4 and I were fortunate enough to spend two wonderful nights at this awesome little cabin. Although we were busy with with prior arrangements and didn’t get to spend too much time during the days there, our evenings were amazing. Communication with the owners was top notch prior to check-in and there was no need afterward. The check-in process couldn’t have been easier. We will definitely be booking again in the near future, when we can spend more time enjoying the cabin as a whole. We thank the owners for the opportunity to stay at such an awesome place!

Great Experience!

We stayed the week before Christmas 2021 and had an amazing time. Our 12 year-old daughter loved the upstairs loft and our teenage son really enjoyed the downstairs bedroom. My wife and I loved the comfortable king-sized bed in the master bedroom. We found everything we needed to cook our meals and the wood burning fireplace was a big plus on those cold nights. The cabin felt secluded with great open views of the canyon out the back window and off the deck. The cabin was close enough to town that we made several trips to the coffee shops and bakery. We also took a side trip to Bluff Springs to see a beautiful waterfall that was surrounded by icicles and snow. This was a perfect place to relax and spend time together as a family. We are definitely planning to return in the future.

We visit cloudfroft at least 3 times a year and this was our first time in this cabin. Everything from the decor to the views and amenities was perfect. The hosts were east to communicate with and the cabin had everything we needed for our winter getaway. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a getaway thats still close to the village and remote at the same time. We look forward to our next stay at this wonderful cabin
