ELK HOLLOW, MOUNTAIN VIEWS, NEAR NAT'L FOREST, DUCK & FISH POND
About this cabin rental
Everyone has a budget, so we strive to give you the best value for your money by providing much more than the typical vacation property. We suggest our guests check out what we provide before going to the store, because we don't want you to waste money on items that we may already have. Elk Hollow Getaway is a comfortably decorated, two bedroom, two bath cabin with spacious covered decks surrounded by tall pines and has all the comforts of home, including WiFi and expanded satellite TV for those football games you guys and gals like to watch. Elk Hollow is located only a few miles from the Village of Cloudcroft, and sits on several lots allowing you room to enjoy the sunshine and private wooded location. We call our cabin Elk Hollow, because at dawn and dusk the elk will stroll down the hollow beside and below the cabin. Sometimes you will see herds of 25-30 elk around the cabin. In the great room, the ledge-rock gas fireplace will warm you during chilly evenings. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need including instant hot water. Use the gas barbecue grill on the deck while enjoying a spectacular view of the Sacramento Mountains. There is a pond just down the road from the cabin where you can feed the many fish and ducks. There is also a nice hiking trail through the Lincoln National Park just beyond the pond. The bedrooms at Elk Hollow are very nicely decorated, have ceiling fans, flat-screen TV's, and both have nice views. Both bathrooms have heaters in addition to central gas heating. Elk Hollow is located in a private community where the roads are maintained year-round. The community has no really steep hills, so driving and walking is a pleasure. It is advisable, however, to use a four-wheel drive vehicle or chains during winter months. We provide snow discs for your youngsters use during the season. There is abundant wildlife in the area. You may see elk, whitetail and mule deer, bears, raccoons, chipmunks, rabbits, turkeys, and a huge variety of birds. Several varieties of hummingbirds make their home in the Southern Rocky Mountains from April through Mid-September. Just minutes away from our cabin is the Cloudcroft Lodge and Golf Course, tennis Courts, picklball courts, Ski Cloudcroft, the Village Ice Skating Rink, Zenith park where you can picnic and BBQ. There is also a playground, shopping, the Cloudcroft Museum, bakery, winery, and restaurants. Browsing the quaint shops in the village is a must. One stay at Elk Hollow will bring you back. The combination of stylish country decor, refreshing crisp mountain air added to the fabulous Sacramento Mountain view, makes this one of Cloudcroft's best rental cabins. Come see for yourself why Elk Hollow is the perfect solution to your mountain get-a-way no matter what the occasion. Keywords: Mountain Cabin

The house was perfect for our short stay in Cloudcroft. The kids could play right outside in the snow! The neighbor right across the street screamed at my daughter because her dog was on her property ( the dog had gotten away from her after she had slipped on ice ) so if you stay just make sure to stay on your side of the road. :/ other than that we had a fantastic time! The check in process got 4 stars because we were given the wrong code to the door … that was a little stressful because there is no cell service but once we reached the owner it was a simple mistake and the right code was given. The house was clean and well kept! Plenty of towels and blankets. We would stay again!

The cabin is very well maintained, cleaned and fully stocked. Photos don't do it justice, as the view, inside and outside the cabin looks amazing. The neighborhood is quiet and secluded, so it's a perfect getaway. But on the other side, it's not too far from the small city if you forget something. We had a very pleasant stay.

I don’t get to take off very much due to the nature of my job, so this three day trip to Cloudcroft was just what my family and I needed. My wife and I were looking for houses/cabins to rent and I found this hidden hide-a-way jewel to be perfect! Our host was fantastic and on the spot with everything. Once we arrived, we found the neighbors to be very helpful and friendly, the house was even better than the pictures, everything was simple to use and easy to read instructions for operating the day-to-day appliances in the house.
It snowed while we were there and it was so beautiful and relaxing. Wildlife is abundant as we had a bull elk cross the roadway on the way to the property. Everything was just perfect - Thank you!

The home is as described. Easy to get to & not far from town. The home is very cozy & the beds are so comfortable. The hosts have thought of everything from birdseed, to binoculars and walking sticks for hikes. We enjoyed listening to the elk bugling and seeing birds that we have not seen before and ducks on the pond. Great communication with the hosts. Highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a nice getaway in Cloudcroft.

This property is the best I have stayed at through VRBO. Booking was easy and all my questions or concerns answered promptly.
The house was clean and had everything we could possibly require throughout our stay. It felt like home.
The wildlife is the best. So many elk every day at sunrise and sunset. Absolutely wonderful. Then add the birds, chipmunks and deer and if you love wildlife, this is the place.

We spent 6 nights in this wonderful cabin. Everything was just as described and the location is outstanding! Many hummingbirds, elk, deer, and ducks at the nearby pond. Clean and comfortable, close to town but far enough away to feel like you're in the forest. One of the best cabins we've ever stayed in with all of the comforts of home and the beauty of nature. Quiet and peaceful. Can't wait to go back!

Elk Hollow is such a wonderful ‘home away from home’ from which to enjoy the peaceful beauty of the Cloudcroft area! We spent 5 nights here in May 2023, and this place was perfect for us. The porch has fantastic views and provides great opportunities for watching the bird life and occasional elk gatherings. We spent much of the time we were ‘home’ on the porch enjoying the wide variety of bird life and scenic beauty. The living area, kitchen, and bedrooms are also very comfortable and inviting. We also greatly enjoyed the serenity of the duck pond, and feeding the resident mallard trio we called “Larry, Curly, and Moe”. The woods beyond the pond have a nice trail for peaceful and refreshing walks through the forest. The delightful little town of Cloudcroft is an easy and enjoyable ten-minute drive away, with many restaurants, shops, and hiking trails to explore. We are looking forward to a return visit someday, perhaps in a later season when the male elk have grown their majestic antlers. Many thanks to the Sandusky’s for sharing their wonderful mountain home with us!

This spring we visited earlier at Elk Hollow and it was just delightful weather, and the property was so comfy and convenient to all our outdoor activities. The kitchen is well equipped so cooking was a breeze. The owners are always responsive and helpful. We love returning to this property as often as we can.

The house is located in an area that’s quiet & not far from the village. Very nice & comfy! We’ve vacationed in Cloudcroft a couple of other times & this stay was, by far, the best. Highly recommend Elk Hollow! We hope to get back in the not too distant future & hopefully can stay here again…if it’s available, that is.
