  Really cute place. Probably a bit older, but pretty representative of other properties in the vicinity and well maintained overall. We stayed here for the Thanksgiving holiday and got our immediate family together. Since we were doing a full traditional Thanksgiving feast for 5 adults we used the kitchen more than most guests probably do. We brought a lot of our own accoutrements (which was necessary) but the kitchen was pretty well stocked. Certainly not enough for what WE had planned, but equally certainly more than well enough for the average visitor. Not a lot of supermarket options in the area, so if you're planning on cooking a lot in house, a trip to Alamogordo (or bringing food from home) is probably your best bet. We did both since we drove in from Dallas.Communication is always a major plus, whether in the business environment, in interpersonal relationships or in a vacation rental. The owners were very communicative and responsive to minor issues and questions. It snowed a significant amount during our stay and the owners offered to come clear out the drive and walkways and put salt down for us, which we gladly accepted the offer, even though we had all wheel drive. The owner had just bought a new tractor. I think he was having fun playing with it in the snow-LOL. It's a cute, homey place with 3 BR (one up 2 down) and 1.5 baths. Another shower would have been ideal but we made do. The place was well maintained and VERY pet friendly (which we needed with our crew) and the owners were just really easy to deal with and genuinely good people. The place is a bit older as mentioned earlier so it has a few little quirks but most homes do, so once you figure out the minutiae its pretty smooth. For example, the silverware drawer drops a bit when opening, which was a bit unnerving at first, but it never fell off the glides. You just have to be mindful of it. My wife and I are in our 50's with grown children. Our youngest and his wife live in Alamogordo, so we'll be visiting as often as scheduling allows. If this place is available we'd stay again for sure! That's the bottom line with any stay I think whether it's a conventional hotel or vacation rental.

• Wonderful house set in conifers and aspens

  4/5

  This house is a residence and has everything one needs for a pleasant 4 day stay. The kitchen is very well equipped, the beds are comfortable and there are various places to sit outdoors. My reason for not giving the place 4 stars is the terrible communication Evolve provides. They did send me the address but on the day of our arrival I was as attempting to find out the code to enter. Waiting for information for 40 minutes is unacceptable. Keith the local manager iin Cloudcroft was extremely personable and helpful. VRBO should deal directly with local people not huge rental firms that rent all over the country. I had the same experience in Chicago in July.

• Perfect cabin in Cloudcraft

  This cabin has everything you need! The owner has thought of everything! It was clean and decorated beautifully! Sitting on the comfortable chairs on the covered porch and gazing at the beautiful trees and forest was heavenly! We will definitely be coming back!
