The listed 2-night minimum does not apply to all times. At certain times of the year we have a longer minimum; however, we can often accommodate stays as short as 2 nights on weeknights, or last-minute requests, or if your stay fits well into the calendar. For these reasons, we accept short stays occasionally. If you'd like a short stay, go ahead and inquire and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Home Away from Home
We have stayed at Matador twice now and we just love this cabin! Stacey has left a mouth-watering fresh pie inside the cabin for us both times, and it’s a very thoughtful and inviting welcome. Matador is thoughtfully laid out, has everything one needs, and is in a beautiful and fun spot within the village. The porch is a wonderful afternoon spot to watch the world go by. The kitchen has a big beautiful window that lets you take in the forest while cooking. We always sleep well here! Matador is a great central location for an enormous amount of outdoor activity. It’s off the main highway, but close enough to stroll to Burro St. We hope to return here again and again!

Well Stocked
Me, husband and in-laws stayed for 4th of July, we’ve stayed all over New Mexico and Colorado cabins and this is by far the best stocked cabin ever, we even had a Carmel Apple Pie waiting for us at arrival. Our dogs enjoyed the gated patio and watching deer and elk pass by. We’ve been to Cloudcroft many times but never on the 4th of July holiday, crowds were insane, looking forward to coming back with less crowds. Cabin is close to everything downtown, neighborhood was quite but the side street was very busy. Beds and furnishings were cozy, clean and comfortable. Would recommend and stay again! Thanks for having us!

Cozy, Quirky & No Coffee
Right or wrong, it goes without saying that vacation renters these days have become accustomed to certain baseline conveniences -- coffee grounds or beans among them. We were welcomed with an AWESOME cherry pie, which we thoroughly enjoyed and was not expected. Yet while a welcome pie is a great touch, it didn't make up for some basics we found lacking, such as coffee. This was more of an issue b/c a snowstorm that blew in just after we arrived cut down the operating hours of nearby businesses making it harder to get coffee and other eat-in items. The cabin itself is charming, the beds comfortable, and the location great. But there were huge temp differences between the bedrooms -- one with no heating -- and one only accessible via another bedroom. A nice stay overall, but not great.

Cozy cabin makes for a Fun Getaway
We enjoyed the property immensely. Close to White Sands, hiking trails, shops and nature, this base of operations was nice to come home to after a day of fun outings. We played games in the evenings and rarely turned on the TV in our four-night stay. Plenty of space, a porch for sitting and sipping, a kitchen you can cook in, and access to laundry facilities made this a great choice for us. We were even treated to a smattering of snow before we left! 10/10 highly recommend

Comfort
We had a comfortable stay. Very cold temps(18 deg) but we were warm. Centrally located to town but far enough away for quiet. Deer visited daily. Great porch would have been great sitting outside. Overall the cabin was well stocked for in-house cooking, living area was spacious and bedrooms were good. Def a good find.

Great cabin
The house was awesome, had everything we needed. The porch swing was my favorite place. The house had a lot of character, the floors leaned a little to the south but was easily adjusted to. Stacey had a fresh pie waiting at the local bakery for us. A very nice touch. We will definitely stay there again given the opportunity.

Weather perfect
We hadn’t seen rain since early May. We have been in triple digit temperatures for 43 days straight! (Central Texas). Had a lovely time. Spent a lot of it on the covered deck in the rocking chairs. Our dogs loved it too. The gates kept them on the deck so we didn’t have to worry or harness them up while outside. So relaxing. Altitude takes a bit of getting used to. I recommend you take steps to prepare yourself and dogs if you take them. Thanks Stacy!

Refreshing Getaway
We came to Cloudcroft to get out of the Texas heat. Cloudcroft is in an amazing location with beautiful, cool, clean, pine-scented air! The cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed. The porches are amazing. I spent many hours in the rocking chairs reading and taking in the weather. Stacy was very helpful when we couldn't figure out the TV remote. And as promised...a delicious blueberry pie on arrival. It was a wonderful getaway for us - just didn't last long enough.
