Monte Verde Lake | Wildlife Views | WiFi | Howling Elk Lodge
2 Bedroom | 2 Bath | 9 Guests | 2 Pets | 1484 SqFt
Escape to the great outdoors without sacrificing all the creature comforts of home. Howling Elk Lodge is the perfect get-a-way from the city life and set in the ideal location; walking distance (2 blocks) to Monte Verde Lake, a half block to the head of Lady Slipper hiking trail, and only a 9-min drive (3.5 miles) to the Bike Park area. As you enter through the front door, the mountain vibe will embrace you. The open floor plan is perfect for the whole gang to hang out. The kitchen, dining, and family rooms all flow together. The family room has two comfy leather sofas and a glider armchair. Get out the popcorn and relax by the wood-burning stove and watch your favorite shows on the flat-screen TV. Or enjoy quiet time and the wildlife views from the large picture windows. Let your inner chef take charge in the well-laid-out kitchen, featuring stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. There is room for two to eat at the breakfast bar and six more at the dining table.
The cozy cabin sleeps 9 guests comfortably. There are two full bathrooms and two bedrooms on the main floor and two more separate sleeping areas in the loft. The master bedroom is furnished with a king-sized bed, flat-screen TV, DVD player, and a large walk-in closet. The updated en-suite master bathroom has a single vanity with a granite countertop and a tiled bathtub/shower combo. Down the hall is the second bedroom; equipped with a queen-sized bed.

I wouldn’t have chose another house in Angel fire if I could it was the funniest place there was firewood for when I was cold. There was a washing machine when I needed to wash my clothes. The place was absolutely beautiful and it had cable TV for at night when we were just relaxing, so it was just the most enjoyable day I’ve ever had an angel fire.

Overall good. Property needs some maintenance. Heater broke while we were there, had to go buy batteries for remotes. Needs tools for wood burning stove. Note says dont throw ashes outside but no explanation on where or how to take them out.

We wanted to take our family away but feel at home. It was accomplished in this beautiful home. It was a great location, beautiful place and it had everything we needed for our family fun!
4.5
The house is very nice but the cleanliness of the home was not great the house smelled old and musty there was cob web dust on entire living room ceiling and the fans are thick with dust and dust build up was on all the heater vents the heater filter was black and looked like it hadn't been changed in a year the kitchen table is breaking at both ends you cant pull out one end because it hits the fire place hearth if you pull the table out it blocks movement from the living room to the kitchen there was mold build up on the plastic shower curtain in the master bath no instructions on how to operate the tv if you can tolorate the smell its an ok rental

Close to the small lake, easy to access from the highway. Very nice place. Would stay there again.

Overall we had a good experience. The location was perfect less than 10 min from Angel fire and about 50 minutes from Taos Ski Valley. Check in and check out were a breeze. We ran out of toilet paper and someone brought us more with extra goodies like chips and salsa, chapstick and a beanie. That was super nice. My only suggestion is that the cabin gets dusted a bit more. Lots of spider webs on celing and even on stair case. Also I could tell the quilts on the bed were not washed because they did not smell clean and had dog hair all over them. They also need to upgrade their electrical. I think it also would’ve been nice to have a Christmas tree in the cabin given that we are staying during Christmas. We had to leave ours behind because it did not fit in our truck.

The property was clean and in a great location. A very comfortable house that we plan to reserve again Summer 2023.

We had a great weekend! The property is really clean with very nice updates. We loved the kitchen and living room lay out. We took the bucket chairs down to the lake and relaxed all day. The propane tank was unfortunately empty but we were able to convert our grilling plans to indoor. Was a very nice weekend and we definitely plan to return!

We came up for Thanksgiving (8 of us) and we absolutely loved it. The house had everything we needed, and perfect amount of space. The location couldn't be better. We will be back!

Not what I wanted at all
House was not as clean as advertised. Living room rug was worn and dirty, cobwebs in windows and on light fixtures. View from deck was awful. There was a dog pen right off the front deck, a stack of wood and a large garbage container in the front right off the deck!
Of course the pictures did not show these things. I’m sorry but I would not stay at this house again. I should have researched better!

The only thing is that the check time in is too late and checkout out time is too early. By the time you check in, you pay for two days but only enjoy one full day.
