This was an amazing property! The staff was very responsive and caring. The place was stocked with everything you would need kitchen wise. It was amazingly clean, and centrally located in the town so that everything was just a short trip away if you wanted to go somewhere. The front and back porches were amazing to sit and drink tea and watch the birds. I recommend this place to anyone looking to relax in the mountains!

The Keurig coffee maker not working, and no one coming to check on it was disappointing. The other coffee maker did not make good coffee at all. We missed having coffee on the deck in the mornings.

Great access to Cloudcroft and surrounding areas. Easy arrival and simple checkout for a quick departure. Host available on messaging. Lots of day to day items provided (condiments, tissues, shampoo, coffee, spices, etc.). Great VRBO!

We visited Cloudcroft about 10 years ago, but didn’t get to stay. We always said we’d like to come back and spend some time. One of our criteria in choosing a place to stay was somewhere that had a mountain cabin atmosphere, and the Dancing Artist cabin certainly fulfilled that need.
It’s nicely decorated and furnished with rustic Mexican and Native American decor. There are lots of little touches to make you feel comfortable and at home. We settled in quickly and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
It was really nice to have a kitchen and washer/dryer at our disposal, as it made packing for our trip much easier.
The cabin is conveniently located in Cloudcroft, and it’s just minutes to any of the amenities in town. The host was exceptionally responsive, and check-in/check-out was super easy. We’d certainly stay here again!

Things I wish I had known: There was a lot traffic in front of the cabin and other cabins are extremely close on the sides and in the back.
**We like to spend time outside. If you don’t mind those things, this is a nice place to stay.
The CABIN itself was GREAT and we had DEER, ELK and wild HORSES visit. It’s close to restaurants and shopping. We really enjoyed our stay despite the traffic and dust from it. Neighbors weren’t an issue either.

Very nice getaway. My wife and I were refreshed by the experience. Very neat and comfortable cabin. Saw lots of bird, mule deer and elk. Had a nice time. Just what we needed.
4.0 / 5.0
This a clean, well organized, nicely decorated cabin. Quiet area. Located just a few blocks from town.
Picture of cabin is a little deceiving as there are now cabins on both sides and behind. The whole area could use some cleaning up on the outside.
We only used the king bed and it was comfortable. Plenty of hot water. All in all a nice place.
5.0 / 5.0
The property was wonderful. The kids loved the decor and the bedroom with their own bathroom. Loved the deer hanging around the yard in the late afternoon. Great location, quiet and very friendly people.

This cabin felt really cozy and that’s what one looks for with Christmas in the mountains. Communication was excellent.

My young family and I stayed at Jana's place for Thanksgiving this year, and we had the perfect time. All the amenities were more that conducive to make a great feast, the home was super cozy, the surrounding area was beautiful, and the unit is so close to the main strip of Cloudcroft, so it was very easy to make runs to the store. Jana is an excellent host who was super responsive even on a holiday and overall so welcoming. We'll definitely be looking for this booking next time we plan to visit Cloudcroft.

The cabin was perfect for the two of us. We sat on the front deck the first evening and watched a few deer across the road. The property owner had told us about a few locations to go to for good wildlife viewing and some other great local restaurants. Overall, I would recommend staying here and next time we head to Cloudcroft we will definitely be staying here. 10 stars!
5.0 / 5.0
The entire experience, from reservations to safe travel home best wishes, was absolutely top notch, and much more than expected. The home owner made everything easy, with simple explanations by email, text, and printed at her lovely vacation rental. We hope to make this an annual pilgrimage to the friendly & fun town of Cloudcroft.

Amazing Stay
We had THE BEST stay at this cabin!! We’ve stayed in other short term rentals, and this cabin, by far, exceeds all the others. The cabin was so cozy and felt like home - the decorations were eclectic, the amenities were plentiful, and the kitchen…the kitchen had EVERYTHING! Most short term rental places have a few plates and bowls, and maybe a pot or two, but not here - there wasn’t an item missing when it comes to having a fully functional kitchen with all the tools!!! I don’t think there was anything I needed that wasn’t there, in the kitchen or otherwise. We enjoyed evenings by the fireplace, playing board games, and having coffee on the front porch - and the fairy gardens!!! We have fairy gardens in our yard at home, so I knew this place would be perfect for us - the fairy gardens are such a nice touch and so much fun!!! If you’re trying to decide which place to stay in Cloudcroft, pick this place - it won’t disappoint!

Cozy Cabin
It was beautiful cabin with lots if fun decor to feel really apart of New Mexico. Cloudcroft was a great little mountain town to relax in. One thing that was odd, at thr beginning of our stay was we parked on front of stairs like instructed and no more than I took two steps the neighbor to the right came out and immediately no "hi" or anything just said we were not allowed to drive past a certain pole there, which is fine, but after a long drive that was our first greeting we all found that a bit unusual. Jana was great at communicating and giving us information about the property. Ohhh also one thing we were really pleased with is that it had many of the small accommodations to cook a nice dinner and breakfast that was much appreciated.
We will stay again, we loved it.

Our Stay
From beginning to end, our experience was exceptional. Communication is so important and Jana did such a fabulous job with her quick responses to our questions.
The cabin is very clean, well kept, and beautifully decorated. Staying here was such a blessing to my daughters and I as we celebrated my 62nd birthday.
Quite certain I will be back!
Thank you Jana! ❤️

Comfort in style
We arrived after 7 with a well lit cabin to light our way. Very comfortable accomodations. We were greater with deer in the front yard upon return our second day. They were very friendly and I think they would have eaten out of our hand if we had the proper food. I would highly recommend Jana and her comfy cabin.

Cool getaway in Cloudcroft
Spent the weekend in this cozy cabin. Clean with everything we needed including a new grill. Great location close to town. Added bonus of elk walking through the front yard daily. Would definitely book again.

Lovely cabin, great for families
This cabin is beautifully maintained. The owner has provided all the comforts of home. My 3 year old twins loved the trundle beds and having a TV in their own room. The kitchen has everything you need, including K-cups and muffin mix. We will happily rent again.

Great cabin!
Cabin itself and the host were by far the best we've ever stayed in. Host made sure to communicate with us and even had coffee and muffin mix welcoming us.
Location is within walking distance to town. So. If you're looking for something more secluded this is not the place. Neighbors are very close. Lots of traffic on road in front of house. Aside from that, top notch experience.

My family - two adults and one child - stayed in Jana’s cabin for four nights as part of a ten-night trip through New Mexico. We were glad to be away from the Texas heat, surrounded by the towering trees of Lincoln National Forest. We didn’t need any air conditioning inside the house. The house had all the cooking supplies we needed, including a clean gas grill outside. My biggest complaint would be that signs in the house instructed us to put soiled toilet paper in the trash, instead of flushing it down the toilet. This was our first time in Cloudcroft, so I’m not sure how common this practice is for houses in the area. We were not expecting this. Jana was friendly and communicated clearly, which we appreciated. Our child loved playing with the fairy houses outside the cabin and the board games inside.

Perfect mountain getaway
My family and I had a great time here. Clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. Check-in and out were simple, and Jana responded quickly to any and all of my questions. Will stay here again the next time we are in Cloudcroft, if it’s available!

Comfortable Cabin
My husband and I enjoyed our visit to Cloudcroft and,especially, staying at the Dancing Artist Cabin! The cabin is as described. It is beautifully decorated and provides all the comforts of home. I enjoyed having the nice collection of toiletries provided along with sprices,coffee pods, ect. The hosts are great and answer promptly any questions one might have. We felt spoiled and loved staying there.

Super Duper Host
Great communication; very responsive; very well stocked; hosts go above and beyond; VRBO needs to give super duper host rating. Cabin is close to town center, is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. Only things we could have wished for were a king size bed, less creaky bedroom floor, and a bit more seclusion (neighbor homes are close by). We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay in the Dancing Artist cabin again!
