Couple’s Getaway

This tiny cabin is the perfect size for two adults. It was clean and cozy. We especially loved the location directly on a secluded hiking trail in the National forest. We appreciated a very responsive host for quick communication!* Please just be sure to realize there is only a ladder to the sleeping space - can’t be helped as that is the layout of this cabin however it does make middle-of-the-night bathroom trips a bit precarious.

This stay was GREAT!! We had the best time, the cabin was perfect! Definitely would need a 4X4 if it had been snowy or wet, but it was dry when we were there. The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and a few extras the host threw in that made it extra welcoming. The host was super friendly and very communicative. I definitely recommend a stay here at Peace and Quiet!

10/10 Serene Mountain Cabin in the Woods

My girlfriend and I couldn't be happier with our stay in this charming, rustic mountain cabin nestled on a hillside in the gorgeous pine forests of the Sacramento Mountains. The layout and amenities of the cabin were so cozy, and the location was a major plus, providing a plethora of activity options being 10 minutes from Cloudcroft, 45 minutes from Alamogordo/White Sands, an hour from Ruidoso, and a 60 second walk from a fantastic hiking trail- Chippeway Spur. We will definitely be back!

Christmas Break Getaway

We absolutely loved our stay at Kelly’s cabin in the woods! Our boys (8 & 6) enjoyed hikes both on the trails behind the cabin and in Cloudcroft. Kelly had so many cute personal touches in the cabin and also provided some welcome gifts and necessities that were very much appreciated after our long journey to the area. I would definitely recommend the cabin to any family wanting to get away and reconnect in nature!

Great Weekend Getaway!

We booked a last-minute weekend trip to this peaceful cabin and did not regret it one bit! Kelly's cabin was perfect for a cozy and secluded weekend in the mountains. Kitchen was stocked with EVERYTHING you could possibly think of- I was able to make a warm stew in her crockpot for dinner. 10/10 stay, we will be back again!

Peaceful retreat

We spent Thanksgiving weekend here with our toddler and dog. A true mountain cabin in the woods retreat! We enjoyed the nearby hiking trail and saw several elk. We also visited White Sands and the space museum in Alamogordo. All perfect for our small family. Thank you! The road to the cabin definitely requires a 4x4 vehicle and was very muddy from recent snow. We were prepared with our truck.

Peaceful forest retreat

This cabin was a perfect escape from the heat! It’s small but had everything we needed for a comfortable 4 night stay. We liked that it was a little ways away from downtown Cloudcroft (about 10 minute scenic drive away). It felt secluded but was still close to trails and shopping.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Foster

Host profile image
I have lived in Ruidoso, NM for forty plus years and been visiting to Cloudcroft forever. Finally, my dreams have come true to have a place to escape the busy tourist life of Ruidoso and getaway to the peace and quiet of Cloudcroft., hence the name. Just forty miles from Ruidoso, it is a great escape for us and hope it is for you also. We can't always be there with our busy lives, so we want others to experience this unique property. We love the great outdoors and New Mexico, so hiking, dirt biking, 4 wheelin, and grillin are our favs and this spot captures the outdoors with a convenience that can't be matched. Reading a book to the rain on the metal roof, is the best relax, promise. We like adding a special touch to our properties and try to think of all the things you might need for that picture perfect vacation. Ask about our other places coming online soon. Please remember to pack it in, pack it out while in our gorgeous state.
Cash, the trail dog and I, hope to see on the trail real soon....

Why they chose this property

We wanted secluded, near the forest with trail access but easy access to Hwy and Cloudcroft close by. Tons of trees, (friendly neighborhood when we see them), shed for storage and parking, cabin is the cutest and perfect size. You feel like you are in a treehouse and/or camping but modern conveniences like plumbing.

What makes this property unique

50 Yards to the Trailhead, numerous trails to conquer, parking for your ATVs, trailers, newer cabin, built in 2013 so super clean. Abundance of wildlife close to the cabin yard, elk, deer, red fox sightings noted. Great spot to animal watch, watering hole near by.
