About this property

Secluded, yet in town. Adjacent to The Lodge golf course!

Inasmuch as we NEVER agreed for VRBO to bill our valued customers and their fees are ridiculously expensive, and we pay them $699.00 per year to list our cabin which we bought with our hard earned money and we also maintain said property, upon return vists, we can make other arrangements to avoid their unauthorized, usurious fees. This does not apply to the initial booking. The property is a cozy cabin on a hillside nestled in the pines with an unbelievable view! This cabin is very secluded, yet it is in the Village of Cloudcroft. There are lovely views of mountain splendor even inside the cabin through the large picture window. There is a spacious deck for relaxing, viewing and cooking and dining!

The living area is an open area which houses the kitchen, dining area and living area. The amenities are described herein, however suffice it to say the owners have everything that a lodger needs to have a memorable stay.

The Lodge golf course is a public course. The tee box for the first hole is within a 9 iron away! The course is a blast! It is very affordable and family friendly! Compare to the courses in Ruidoso. The back deck of the house provides an amazing view of the 7th fairway of the Course.

The cabin is next to the road with ample parking. However, the well lighted stairway takes you a good distance from the road where the cabin is in the middle of the woods with a perfect, unspoiled view. Yet, there are stores, restaurants, shops, a gas station, etc. just minutes away.

Great bird watching from the deck where you are level with the tree tops! The lot on the west is a frequent deer hangout and crossing. Elk have been seen crossing through on either side of the cabin as well. It is an amazing place for wildlife. There are houses close by but not next door!

You will be very excited at this cabin and be refreshed after your stay! Thanks for looking!

A peaceful rest

The cabin was a perfect place to rest and relax. Cozy and comfortable with a fantastic view from the deck. We watched elk, deer, wild horses, and other small forest creatures. The cabin itself was very clean and very comfortable.

Sweet spot!

This cabin was exactly as described online. It was immaculate and had everything you could need during a vacation. The written information/instructions in the house were very much appreciated. The very best part of this house is the back deck with a wonderful view of a pond where elk hang out morning and evening. We will definitely plan a return trip!

That's what I'm talkin' about!

Everything was perfect. The house had all we needed and more. The best part of each day was sitting on the deck, watching the deer, elk, and wild horses enjoying the golf course to which this property is adjacent. My wife and I are grateful to the owners of this property. Our time here was life-changing.

The property is as advertised - peaceful and secluded. Everything worked except the light on the back deck. The cabin had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Note: there is no longer any laundry facilities in town.

Peaceful and cool getaway

The house was very comfortable. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the horses, deer, and elk graze on the fairway grass and frolic in the water on the fairway. House was convenient to town but removed from traffic noise and was pretty quiet. We had a minor issue with the TV but the owner was very responsive and we got it figured out quickly. The only other thing is the steep stairs going down to the house. My husband has copd and the altitude was tough for him. He got very out of breath climbing the stairs and carrying our food, cooler down the stairs was hard for us at our senior age (70 & 75). I may have overlooked anything in the property description that mentioned that.

Wonderful Stay!

My husband and I both enjoyed our recent stay at your cabin. Everything was as explained. The cabin was clean and well stocked. We loved our times out on the balcony watching the golfers and horses. We didn’t see any elk but we did have hummingbirds visiting us. We hope to come back-!

What a great place and great host! Very comfortable cabin with a nice large living area and super comfortable beds! There’s also a great wraparound porch that overlooks the nearby golf course - we saw dozens of beautiful and playful elk on the course as the sun was going down. Throw in an absolutely awesome host who was awesome to deal with and you’ve got yourself a great stay. 10/10!!!

Christmas in Cloudcroft.

We had great communication with the owner of the cabin. The cabin was perfect for our group of four adults. Nice space and a great well stocked kitchen that met our needs. We had snow and the road was a bit tricky with a two wheel drive vehicle. Fireplace was wonderful with a full stock of wood for our use.

About the host

Hosted by Tip & Brenda Kirwan

Host profile image
Owners are responsible and hard working and have put in many hours making this cabin an enjoyable place to relax! Owners have been associated with the property for 40 years. Wonderful memories of the people of the town, sports activities such as golf, restaurants, coziness, heavy slumbers, awesome mornings and great nights! Manager, Tricia Barry is very hard working as well. Very chipper, mother of two. Does the little things to keep the place in tip top shape.

Why they chose this property

This property is right in town, on the golf course, yet it is in the woods and very secluded and serene! This is a very unique situation! There is wildlife that goes through the woods near the cabin. Lots of birds including hummingbirds (in the summer) to be viewed from the spacious deck. Just a couple of minutes from downtown! Also, 2 minutes away from the golf course which is fun and affordable.

What makes this property unique

Great views of scenery and wildlife from all over the property even though you are in the middle of Cloudcroft and a chip away from the golf course! The Lodge golf course is very fun, extremely affordable and family friendly.
