I liked that you could park off the street, the many areas we could gather, the warm pellet stove, the nearness to downtown, the cleanliness…. And more. Good place. I would gladly come again

We are VRBO newbies. We stayed in the Lilac Cottage in Cloudcroft because the pictures looked very inviting. It was better, much better, than the pictures on the VRBO website. The cottage is whole lot bigger than we thought and it was nice, clean and charming, with the cottage vibe throughout. I really don't think we could have asked for a better first time VRBO experience. Cloudcroft was a wonderful village to explore and the people there are so friendly and welcoming. We loved it. Thanks Tamara for answering all of questions before, during and after our stay.

Loved our stay! For dog owners, the fenced back yard was great. It's basically a very big deck and a rocked portion along the side of the house. No questionable area you're worried about what the dog could get into. The front porch is where we spent all our time (with child gate to keep dogs in). Sunrise was gorgeous. Wish I'd noticed the puzzles in front bedroom earlier, we would have worked on one all week! Have always stayed outside of the Village on other visits, but discovered being in town was so much more fun. Will be back!

Charming Cottage
The cottage is nicely decorated, beautifully maintained, and has everything you need for a relaxed stay. We sat on the front porch and back patio to visit and read in the beautiful Cloudcroft weather. You can walk anywhere in town from the cottage. We had some great walks. The owners were very responsive. We absolutely loved our time in Cloudcroft.

Quaint Cottage
We were very happy with this adorable quaint cottage. Was very close to town and within walking distance to restaurants. It was very clean and had enough towels for all of us. Great hot water! We will return.

Great location, perfect walking distance to most everything.
This location couldn’t be better, walking access everywhere in town. Loved the antique furniture and design. Our dogs were safe and comfortable in the secure backyard.
