Spring break getaway

House was as listed, and offered plenty of sleeping arrangements and blankets. The only issue was it looked like the dishwasher did not work all that great. It had lots of residue and many of the utensils in the drawers were dirty. Other than that, no complaints. You are close to everything in town and lots of wildlife in the back.

Bear Lodge

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. Overall rating was a 4 because the beds on the main floor were not comfortable, per the mother in laws that slept in them. I also think it would be good to put command hooks in the bathrooms for towels. The downstairs bed was amazing!!! The home is beautiful with lovely scenery. Loved the stay!!

Great Experience!

Overall what a wonderful experience at this cabin! My family and I regularly stay at cabins in cloudcroft for vacations, we have tried many, and this will be a cabin we book again. It was very easy to get to, the information online and on the listing was plentiful. The driveway was large and easy to park 4 vehicles in. The cabin itself is beautiful, and I appreciated the mini biography written on the cabin and its construction. The view was gorgeous, and we loved how close the Lincoln forest was, being quite literally in the backyard! We had a lot of deer and animal sightings which was very exciting and magical especially for our little ones! The cabin was well stocked with all the necessities including some extra laundry detergent and dryer sheets. The rooms were great and the kids had a blast with the ps3 games and foosball table! We loved how child oriented everything was and with the exception of the stairs the entire home was very child friendly. All the children had a great time here and had so much fun with all the provided activities and toys. The cabin was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked . We have nearly no complaints other than we wish the beds were a bit more comfortable and bigger. We will book again in the future! It was well worth the price.

Perfect family cabin

We will definitely be staying again. My family plans a trip to Cloudcroft about twice a year and this was by far the best place we have stayed. The house was just as listed. Clean, very well stocked, comfortable beds and so much room for kids. Having the cabin back up to the national forest was awesome. Not having a house behind us and all the wildlife was perfect. The location was perfect also just a short drive to the shops and restaurants.

Amazing Cabin

We had such an amazing family trip and this cabin was perfect for all (16) of us, really spacious only down fall for US was that there was only two restrooms but other then that we all had fun and the foosball table was a hit. We didn’t get to see snow which we were really excited about, but we got to go to the ski resort with artificial snow

Travelled with family
Beautiful cabin with beautiful woods in the back. The cabin appeared clean but dishes and pans seemed dusty so I had to rinse everything I used first. Bedding and towels were clean but didn't feel fresh. Went back to check the reviews because I thought I remembered seeing that the house was well stocked as essential items were missing. When I went back today to look (yes several reviews did say that), I noticed the price of the cabin dropped SIGNIFICANTLY per night for the next few months, which was really disappointing, and i am pretty salty about. There was no oil to cook with and the coffee smelled stale. For such a pricey cabin, I would have also appreciated better body soap (they provided miniature wrapped bars). There was no shampoo and conditioner, lotion, or tissues. The smoke detector started chirping the first night we were there but stopped the next day, so I didn't call. It started chirping again the second night lol. There were lots of games to play and the hot tub was nice. The town was cute and I met the mayor, but every restaurant we went to ran out of food, so eat as early as possible. We finally got in to Mad Jack's on Sunday and it was great. We were visited by elk, deer, a skunk, and even a small family of horses. The animals and hot tub were the highlight of the trip. Again, cabin was beautiful, but everything inside felt dusty. I expected better for the price we paid per night.

2 night stay in Cloudcroft

The cabin is as listed. We stayed there for 2 nights and enjoyed the forest view, the jacuzzi and the BBQ We realized the cabin hadn't been cleaned prior to our arrival, the contact with the host to fix this was efficient, someone showed up 15 mn after reporting the issue. Kitchen is well stocked, and all appliance we used were functional. We would come back if we have the opportunity, and recommend this place.

Family Getaway

We enjoyed our stay in this cabin during our recent family vacation. The cabin was very accommodating for our family of 6. The 3rd story loft was perfect for our 6 and 7 year old's that served not only as a bunkroom but also as a playroom with toys. The kitchen included many necessities to prepare meals during our stay. Although we didn't need during our stay, the cabin included a nice fireplace that would serve guests well during cold weather visits. The cabin also includes a nice hot tub that our family enjoyed access to. The location is walkable to downtown via a walking trail not far off the back deck. We would stay here again and recommend to future guests.

Relaxing family vacation

The house was perfect for a relaxing family vacation. The house is clean and has lots of space, with plenty of extra blankets and towels. The kitchen had everything we needed. The view out the back is wonderful with birds, deer, and elk coming by every day. It is an easy walk to the shops in Cloudcroft, and we walked down to enjoy pizza and pies a few times. The hiking trails behind the house are lovely and easy to access.

Wiseman Family Reunion

We first visited Bear Ridge Log Cabin in 2009 when my grandaughters were 7 and 4 and returned several years later. It was o lovely to be back and the granddaughters, now 22 and almost 19 absolutely loved it. The views from the balcony are lovely and having the Lincoln National Forest outside the back door was great. We saw a mule deer, and a mama skunk with 4 little ones. The contact for questions or problems was very responsive to our one call. The book the owners provided was fascinating with the story of how the cabin came to be and loads of local and park information. We will be back!!

No ac/safety concerns

The main issue is that the thermostat wasn’t working and I had elders there. The electrical plugs in the upstairs bedroom were not working.The downstairs electrical plugs kept turning off and on. The grills push lighter was broken. One of the rocking chairs and two stools on the third story balcony were about to fall apart when you sat on them (two of the stools were just old and falling apart/and the hand carved rocking chair the pieces weren’t glued together). Found clumps of hair on the pillows. Foosball table was broken. Third story TV was fuzzy. Communication with host was spotty at best. I have pictures of all issues. Was not happy or impressed for the price I paid!!!! Maintenance came to look at electrical issues and said it would take days to fix and said to tell management our issues.
