This is a great house, right on the edge of the forest for easy access hiking, but also near the heart of town with food, music, drinks and shops. In my opinion after spending a week in cloudcroft.. its the ideal location for privacy, yet minutes from all the fun. The house was spotless, comfortable, spacious but cozy. It's actually a lot bigger and prettier than the pictures online. The indirect lighting, fireplace and battery candles set the mood and made us not want to leave the house at night. The house is stocked with everything you need. Shampoo, conditioner, soap, laundry and dish items plus everything else so you don't have to go buy everything yourself. We found the four sled disks which saved us from having to rent them at White Sands National Park. We enjoyed the mule deer that wandered through the back yard every day and were excited to see the ferrel horses in the driveway. There are pretty lights on the back patio, lots of cozy blankets, comfortable couch, beds, and dining area. The main television is huge and has all the apps on it. There is a cute game center for the kids, plenty of storage to put clothes, suitcases, food, and travel belongings. There was even a dog bowl for our poodle that came along. We rent a lot of VRBO's and this one was one of the best. No complaints and we will come back.
