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!! ##### Amberley H.

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. ##### Mikel S.
