Peaceful location and amazing cabin

Location of the cabin was spot on, backing right into Lincoln National park, dear came almost right up to the hot tub! We walked the Osha trail which was great as we had 2 elderly dogs and they managed really well, very spacious cabin with excellent facilities, thank you for letting us stay 🙂

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!!

Excellent Mountain Getaway

Loved our stay in the cabin. It was well maintained, stocked with everything we needed, and plenty of space. We loved hiking around the property and surrounding trails, exploring the town, skiing/tubing, and loved the bbq and brewery spots in town. Great home base for everything we wanted to do!

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

Family Vacation

We all loved this cabin, super cute, spacious and cozy. The location was great, we all enjoyed the hiking right behind the cabin, such beautiful views as well. Only down fall was Stairs are a bit steep and I took a ugly fall down a flight of them. We enjoyed this cabin, with lots of family time. Thank you for the rental.

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.

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.

Beautiful, Cozy Property

Wonderful stay over Christmas with family.(6 adults, 2 kids) Plenty of space for everyone. Very well maintained and clean. Enjoyed short hikes in the snow, the hot tub, fireplace,(plenty of wood provided ) toys for kiddos, snow tubing, skiing and shopping in town. But most of all just hanging out with the family in the lovely, cozy space and watching the deer visit daily in the back yard.

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.

Everything You Need

We had 6 adults, a toddler, a 7 yr old and 10 yr old. We had everything we needed plus extra. Bonus! The deer coming up to the back door. Great location too! Only downfall….no TV on the main floor. Excellent accommodations.

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.

Wonderful

Beautiful log home! Much nicer than expected. Perfect for multiple families. The children’s play area was a great bonus. Hot tub, outside grill, and inside fireplace all worked great. Plenty of hot water for multiple showers. We were fortunate to have a lot of snow while we were there and could walk right out into the forest to find a great hill to sled down. We enjoyed our stay very much and we will definitely be back. Thank you so much.

Family trip

If you have kids the loft area is perfect for them.with toys and bunk beds. The Hot Tub was a nice relaxing option available, in great condistion. They had everything we needed and then some. We all enjoyed the house and location. The brewery is in walking disctance, theres a trail practically property adjacent. I would have liked to of stayed longer and gotten some real hiking in. Great spot beautiful home with a very unique story. My husband loved learning about and discovering the jacks. It was great!!

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!!

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.

Great location!

This cabin is close to everything we needed. Walking distance to town, restraunts, running and hiking trails. Our vehicles didn't move all weekend! The hot tub was a nice treat! The open area behind the house was fantastic. Our kids played for hours out there. A few things to be aware of... the house was not well stocked. We had to go get hand soap, laundry detergent, clorox wipes and trash bags... we didn't mind but we also didn't know to bring some of those things (we VRBO alot... most of that is provided). I don't know if it was a busy weekend or the norm but the Family Dollar (the only thing besides an Allsup's... there is NO grocery store!) was very picked over and had lots of empty shelves. Also for a house this size more towels should be available. Really a great house but just a few things to have a heads up about!
