Deja View--Amazing Mountain Views!!!

Wonderful view from a well-designed guest house. Hosts are excellent. Just take them seriously: You need 4WD to get up the hill.

Beautiful place, wonderful view. Very private and romantic. Owners were helpful, unobtrusive. Tell Joe he was right about elk on 82.

We came to this rental for a “technology detox,” spending five days screen-free to reset ourselves and our teenage son and reconnect. This place was perfect! Secluded except for the owners next door (Joe and Marylou are lovely, and visited us a few times to ensure our stay was comfortable), the cabin is the perfect mountain getaway. We were visited by elk, turkeys, chipmunks, and several varieties of birds, so bring your camera and enjoy the feeling of being amongst nature. The living space is modern, very clean, and well-appointed. We cooked several meals in the kitchen and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable, as was the pull-out couch, and we had more than enough linens and towels. The weather was perfect in July. Cool and breezy when the basin valley was close to 100F. Cloudcroft is a cool little village with neat shops and cafes, plenty to do for an afternoon of shopping and lounging. And then there’s the sunsets - Just Wow! The patio and balcony face west overlooking the Alamogordo valley, and the nightly sunsets put on a spectacular show for us. Note: The road to the cabin is no joke. We made it up easily in our Lincoln Navigator, but 4 wheel drive is a necessity. With mud or snow, I imagine that drive is sketchy as heck. Overall, 10/10 would recommend for a sleepy getaway vacation “away from the rat race.”

We loved the view from this property’s balcony. The property was well maintained and nicely furnished. It’s a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beautiful mountains in Cloudcroft, NM. We highly recommend!

Great property for a quick getaway and amazing views to the west of the sunsets. Joe and Marylou, who own the unit and are located next door, were extremely friendly and welcoming! They gave great advice on where to go and what to do in town.

This place was simply wonderful! The views. The hosts. The village. Everything about our stay was excellent and we’re looking forward to visiting the Deja View again soon!

Views were unbeatable, place was spotless, would stay again!

The location, view, wildlife, quietness, and the hosts were all just amazing. This is my new favorite go-to place. I should've booked a longer stay.

This is a lovely, quiet and relaxing property. And true to the other reviews, the owners are warm, inviting, and friendly. The view is exceptional from the upper deck as well as the lower porch. Our mini-Aussies especially enjoyed their look out from the upper deck. Pros: comfortable bed & furniture; dual fuel range/oven that cooked perfectly; 12 cup coffee maker; general kitchen necessities furnished. Con: the climb to the property. Worth it, but some may find it opposing. Things you should know before you go: (1) The road continually climbs, and the driveway itself is approximately an 11 degree incline at the start, followed by two very tight turns and an approximately 13 degree incline to the cabin. (2) You'll pull up to a garage door; that's the back of the cabin. Use the walkway to the right of the building and go around to the front door. (3) You won't receive check-in instructions from VRBO. The cabin is managed by a rental agency in Cloudcroft, and they will call you. You'll need to drive all the way into town to pick up keys and receipt, etc. (4) Take distilled/bottled water for the coffee pot, as you can't use the local water for coffee/tea. (5) If you're a serious cook, like me, take your own knives, cutting board, and pots/pans. The kitchen is stocked with 'general' cookware. (6) If you're into pizza and craft beer, don't miss Cloudcroft Brewing company. There's generally a 10 to 20 minute wait. It's worth every second! (7) Be sure to talk with Marylou and Joe, they're precious folks!

We loved every aspect of the property. The winding road up to get to the cabin was pretty steep at one point but was easy to make in our GMC truck-we did have 4WD but did not have to engage it. This cabin was PERFECT for what we were looking for which was a small cabin for just me and my husband (and our 2 fur babies)-the king-size bed was upstairs with french doors and a large covered patio overlooking the STUNNING MOUNTAINS surrounded by all the tall pine trees. Beautiful Russian sage all around as well! The cabin was very well maintained! We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the patio outside the upstairs bedroom listening to the birds and watching the hummingbirds and was thrilled to see wild turkeys walking around the bottom of the property! We definitely plan to return next year!

Lovely property in the hills. Great property owners. Ery beautiful with hummingbirds, elk and other wildlife

We came to Cloudcroft for a long weekend to get away from the “record temps” in Texas we have been experiencing all summer. We just had a baby boy at the end of May and had been feeling very cooped up as it’s difficult to do anything with an infant when it’s 105 outside. This place was absolutely perfect. The property management company was easy to communicate with and arrange for key pickup. We came after a week of heavy rains and the road to the property was washed out quite a bit so 4WD was a necessity - which wasn’t a problem for us, but we were told usually 4WD is only needed in the winter months. The neighborhood is full of pretty steep roads and sharp turns, so definitely plan to take it slow and be extra careful once you turn off the highway. The climb is VERY worth it for the view :) The property itself was very clean and welcoming. It has beautiful views from both the first and second floor and lots of hummingbirds and butterflies to watch from the patio. It faces west, so we enjoyed three lovely sunsets. We stayed in and cooked breakfast and dinner each night. The kitchen was well equipped for meals at home. We were happy to see there was an ice maker in the freezer, plenty of kitchen towels and soap, and the coffee maker was a nice big 12 cup one! It’s the little things that make the difference! We didn’t need to use the electric heaters as the house stays plenty warm at night and even gets hot enough in the daytime that we enjoyed opening the windows for a fresh breeze to come in. The bed was quite comfortable to sleep in. The couches were very comfortable as well. We didn’t pull out the sleeper couch upstairs but the room is very spacious so if you did need the sleeper couch, it wouldn’t feel crowded. Joe and Mary Lou - the owners - live next door and were available and friendly, offering great local suggestions for activities and places to go. There is a lot of hiking, shopping, and sightseeing within 15 minutes of the house so it’s a very convenient location. We would absolutely rent this property again! Thank you for having us!
