Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your beautiful cabin. It was much more than we expected and we all had a great time. The weather was nice and cool, compared to Texas weather, and we enjoyed watching the hummingbirds on the swing. It was a great place to come and spend time with the family.
Thanks again,

Thank you for allowing us to stay at this beautiful cabin. We enjoyed sitting outside and enjoying the hummingbirds. They were beautiful. We watched the deer eat this morning and we all had a great time. Thank you for allowing us to stay in this peaceful cabin.
We were stationed here at Holloman AFB 42 years ago. This was perfect. Boy, what a change in Alamogordo! God is truly present in this cabin. We enjoyed all the wildlife - the hummingbirds, deer and for the first time, Stellar Blue Jays - beautiful! Our family - grandparents, daughter & son-in-law, and grandchildren had a wonderful time. The music provided was so peaceful, also. All of us eating at the same table, playing at the same table - how wonderful. We will definitely be back again, but way before 40 years!
God bless you always,

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at this awesome house! It was way more than any of us expected! AWESOME. The hummingbirds were beautiful. We all watched them for at least an hour when we first got here. We saw a bear, too, and deer and many other birds. Fidoh (a cute dog) visited us and played with us while we swung on the swing and played frisbee. This is such a beautiful house, we can't thank you enough. Plans are being thought of, to when we will return.

What a great weekend... I can't tell you how long it's been since we came out here. This was so needed and the kids loved every minute of it! The minute we pulled up and walked in, I knew God was in this home. As the kids slept, I spent quiet time every morning, looking out the top window feeling the breeze on my face. Thank you for blessing us with such a beautiful, well kept home. We felt at home and didn't want to leave. God has such great plans and blessings for this home. Thanks again and we will be back again and again.

July 2010
This is our second stay at Cedar Lodge and we loved it just as much as the first time. It was chilly the first night, so we really enjoyed the hot chocolate mix and hot tea.
No sooner had we put the corn out than we had a pair of white tail deer appear. We also had a friendly visit from the neighborhood dogs. Later we saw chipmunks and stellar jays and the huge wood doves. At night a mule dear came to eat. And of course, the hummingbirds kept us entertained as we sat on the porch in the evenings, after dinner.
It's so nice to have enough space for everyone. We played a lot of board games and just generally relaxed. We also enjoyed a hike down the trestle trail. The cool weather was a welcome relief from the 100 degree days at home.
We enjoyed being able to make pancakes and spice cake. It allowed us to stay in on a rainy day, instead of going into town. Thanks for sharing your lovely cabin!
The Pipkins - Tulsa, OK
p.s. The kids just read this and reminded me that they really enjoyed watching the nestlings on the porch, and reading the books in your upstairs library, especially the James Herriott books and the ones on Alcatraz.

Thank you for a great stay in your delightful cabin! Our three nights here just weren't enough! Though we put out corn early in the mornings, we never had deer. But in the night it would disappear. We saw a raccoon one evening, then last night a bear. Made our trip! Loved the hummingbirds :) Your hospitality was evident in everything in the cabin. Your Christian witness also shows in the magazines, decor and love the cabin reflects. Bless you for opening your home to us.

Hello, we have thoroughly enjoyed our time at Cedar Lodge. Thank you so much for opening your home to us. We made a trip to White Sands and had a great time sledding. We love your huge table that provided a place for arts & crafts and meal time. We also got to see the deer on our last morning here. The weather was fantastic all 3 days. We will definitely be back. God bless you.

Words can't express how much Paul and I loved our weekend here at the cabin. Paul said he truly enjoyed the privacy and quietness we had. The weather turned out to be great. It only snowed a little on Friday night, but the next two days were beautiful! We can't wait to come up here again for Memorial Weekend. Thank you, Jesus, for such beautiful scenery to enjoy and thank you, Lisa & Rick, for opening up your beautiful cabin for people like us to have memories to cherish. God bless you and your family!

Hello, my name is Mycah and I am 10 years old. When we got here, I thought the room I claimed was the best. It has flowers on the blanket on the bed. I wish that was my room. Then we unloaded all our stuff. After that we went sledding. I thought it would be scary, but it was funner than I thought. Oh, I forgot to mention my dad and my brother were with me. After sledding we went to a barbeque place. Next we went back to the lodge and since there was no deer corn, we fed the chicken scratch. One deer threw up and the baby deer seemed to like it. Mikey, my brother, tried to scare the deer, but it didn't work. After that we played chess. First daddy won, then Mikey. I lost. Then we played Risk. Daddy first place, me second and Mikey, third. It was funner than I thought. Finally we went to bed. In the morning we had oatmeal and breakfast bars for lunch. Next Mikey took skiing lessons then went skiing with daddy. I didnt' go because I never wear pants! Meanwhile, I just read By the Shores of Silver Lake. I am so, so, so, sorry the cover came off the book. It was already worn out when I found it. Next we went to the observatory. On our way back I fell asleep in the car. I woke up, our dad got us a pizza. I made myself some hot cocoa then we played Risk again. This time I won first, Mikey second and daddy third. Now I started to write in this journal. Tomorrow will be the day we leave. Thank you for letting us stay in Cedar Lodge and having the books by Laura Ingalls Wilder here.Thank you again!

Thank you for letting us stay at your wonderful cabin. We all had fun. It is beautiful out here. Y'all did very good with the cabin. There was a lot of snow out here and thank you for the disks you put out. We had a lot of fun with them. There was a lot of deer. They were big and thank you for the food for the deer.

Thanks for letting us stay here! We had a lot of fun and we hope to come back next year. The snow was very fun and we went snowboarding. We went skiing on Thursday, Friday, and on Sunday we went sledding and it was so fun. I went so fast I flew in the air! It was fun in the cabin, too. We watched Monsters vs Aliens and Shrek 3, and it was so funny. The hot chocolate was very good and so was the oatmeal. These necklaces and medallions are for y'all to keep. We got a lot from the Mardi Gras parade. My brother and I made a snowman and we fed the corn to the deer. The deer at the carrot nose and the eyes and the mouth. It was an awesome trip and wish we could stay longer.

Once again we had a great time here. My wife rattled the corn bucket as soon as we arrived at 4pm and it took the deer about 2 minutes to show up. 2 does and 2 fawns - all mule deer. We saw a few white tail deer a little ways up the road. Our kids' friends had never seen deer up close like that. Cooper, from down the road (chocolate lab), came to say "Hi". Found a good sledding hill... Take Sunspot Hwy 5.5 mi and it will be a park on the left. Just avoid the first spot next to the aspens, unless you like picking wood out of your teeth! All the people in the Village were super friendly, as always, and helped make this all-too-short trip awesome!

Happy New Year! Thanks for the wonderful family getaway! We really felt cozy and right at home with anything and everything we needed. This cabin is a mountain paradise. We had a great time playing in the snow, building a snowman, tubing at Triple M and ice skating. This was such a wonderful place to get away from it all.

Thanks so much for another lovely year at your cabin! This hs been a family tradition for 4 years and every year we have even more fun. This year we were pleasantly surprised by lots of snow and we had a snowball fight and built a snowman and snowdog! :-) Thanks again and have a wonderful new year!

Today is December 12. I am here at the cabin and am having lots of fun. This morning, me and my sisters and my brother went outside and played in the snow. Me and my sisters and brother built a snowman. The scary part was on our way here, we got stuck on the ice so we had to go up to the nearest cabin and asked for help. She got us safely to the cabin. Becky
Me and my little sister, Michelle, built a ramp and a snowman. We had fun and plan to come back as soon as we can! Thank you, Lisa, for letting us stay at your cabin.

Thank you very, very much for allowing us to enjoy such a beautiful and peaceful cabin. We enjoyed the birds, the deer and the time together. We looked forward into coming down to see the deer come down early in the morning to feed. Feeding the hummingbirds was an enjoyful adventure.
Thank you!

Your place is lovely and relaxing. We came to get away from the hustle and bustle of the everyday grind. The weather was refreshing. The cabin was clean and well stocked. We saw between 2 to 5 deer (does and fawns) each morning and evening. Hummingbirds, other birds and chipmunks were around to show off during the day. My husband heard a bear calling during the night.
Thanks again,
Marc and Carol Boswell - Andrews, TX
August 2009
Thanks so much! We had a wonderful time staying here. Our two boys loved the bird feeders and the rope swing! We saw a beautiful deer eating the corn out back and they were entranced - watching her the entire time she was there. We heard Hammy the Squirrell on the roof, one morning, but didn't see much other wildlife. The cabin is so beautiful and so well stocked. The CDs, books and children's toys were an unexpected bonus. We'll definitely be back!
Thanks again!

Thank you so much for sharing this cabin. It's an amazing place! Our time was too short. We did a lot of sight seeing and not enough time at the cabin for my taste. If it had been up to just me, I would have loved to just hang around here. You have done a wonderful job with this place and you deserve some kind of award. We saw the birds, the deer, but that was all. We were fine with not seeing a bear. Your cabin is a blessing to all who come here. You must have a servant's heart! God bless you and your family. Thanks again for a great place to stay.

We're really glad we stopped off in Cloudcroft and this cabin was perfect. Lisa, you've got this set up very thoughtfully for your guests. We've had a really relaxing few days. We've been travelling in Arizona and New Mexico, and Cedar Lodge has been a great chance to slow down. The wood pigeons always ate the corn so the deer didn't get much chance, but we've had a lot of amusement from the hummingbirds. One is the playground bully and seems to have decided it's his territory. He very thoroughly scares off any others (he is a very big hummingbird). We met several interesting people in Cloudcroft, tho seemingly, not many Scottish people up here. We'll try to encourage more.

July 2009
Tuesday - we were surprised at how nice everything is. The first day we saw 2 deer walking around the cabin, and lots of birds. Ate lunch at Big Daddy's; the food was good for a small town. Liked the small shops in the center of town. At dusk, 5-6 deer came back. They watch us as much as we watch them. It was wonderful.
Wednesday - left early to go explore. No deer this a.m. Made sure we put out corn for them - hope to see some tonight. Went to Ruidoso, it is a nice town. It is very quiet at night, almost erie. Only one deer returned, but it was a delight to see it. Thanks Lisa. I really needed to de-stress after the past two months. This was God-sent.

7/3 So far I've loved everything about this cabin. It's very cozy. But as for animals, I've spread corn out back but only hummingbirds to be seen. Kaylie Wilmot, age 11
7/4 Three deer today. We were all very excited to see 3 deer out back eating corn. Also, I never knew orange hummingbirds existed. I've seen a few here. The bed was very comfortable. p.s. orange hummingbirds are Rufus type of birds.
7/5 We saw 7 deer this morning! Unfortunately, today is also the day we have to leave. Thanks for letting us stay at your cabin.

We stayed 2 nights and really loved it. Everything is so clean and fresh. We made pancakes one morning and found everything we needed to cook. Sitting on the front porch was a real treat. We especially liked watching the hummingbirds, listening to the wind blowing through the trees, and all the fresh smells. We really enjoyed it and hope to stay again sometime.
The Anderson Family - New Braunfels, TX

Simply wonderful! Told my friends we were staying in a cabin in the woods and they laughed... we live in the woods of NE Mississippi with: deer, fox, bobcats, coons, possum, rabbis and, like here, hummingbird - except yours are louder.
What we don't have and got to see 3 times the first full day here, on the 15th, was the black bear. He woke us up at 6am, lumbering up on the porches. He had come up on the front porch and got at the hummingbird feeders. We were surprised he did without knocking anything over. We took the feeders down at night after that. We were watching a movie that night when we heard some thunking. My husband looked out the front window and looked right into the bear's face! Zacary, my son, saw him one more time late that evening, in the front yard.
Last night, driving back to the cabin at 9pm, we saw 3 large elk and 15-20 deer between the road to Ruidoso and the Cloudcroft Ski Area (I used to work there part-time 15 years ago).
The trip for us was to show my almost 15 year old twins where they were born and lived until age 2. Staying here, at your fabulous cabin, has made the trip into an exquisite and very special family memory.
I will be spreading the word about your incredible place and how you have created a place that exceeds expectations and is stocked with numerous things to make you feel very pampered and appreciated.
Grace and peace to you and yours,
The Oswalt Family - Pontotoc County, MS

Thank you! Such a lovely, serene setting. The first morning we had 7 deer come by. We only saw one deer on the second morning, but there was a lot of outside activity in the area. We put out the corn in the a.m. and it was gone when we came back - something enjoyed it. :-) You have a great place and very well supplied. We really did enjoy the music - great selections - the music was playing most of the time we were in the house. Thank you!! We sat in the evenings and "visited" with the hummingbirds - good fun. We heard Hammie. This was a great time and place to renew and revisit with family & friends. We recalled old memories and made new memories. We'd like to return when this would be our destionation and not just a home base.
Very rewarding and blessed time. Thank you and God bless.

Hi. I'm Emily. We had so much fun. We saw 22 deer; two of them were babies. One day we made bird feeders. You make them like this. First you spread peanut butter on a pinecone, then you put birdseeds on the pine cone with peanut butter and then hang it in a tree. If you have never been here, here are some good places - Big Dad(dy)'s, White Sands, see the bats fly, and the Cave. They are all very cool. Thank you for letting us stay here.

p.s. We heard Hammie. He makes a lot of noise.
March 2009
This is our second time here and it's still the best vacation ever. My family and I saw different kinds of animals starting with cats to deer: dogs, turkeys, deer, cats, blue jays. Sitting outside enjoying the fresh, fresh air breathing in nature - which we don't get in our home town. The happiness of being alone - just family and me. I love it here. Thanks for making this just perfect. I love it. Thank you.

Wonderful cabin! The kitchen was great. You have put a lot of thought into everything at the cabin. Everything we needed and more was right here. We went to White Sands the first day and Ruidoso the next two days.
Animal Sightings: 3/18 We arrived late, but Tank the yellow dog escorted us to the cabin. We put out corn, but no wild animals that night. 3/19 Blue jays right at daylight, then one turkey. 9:30am 11 deer showed up to feed. They stayed until Tank ran them off. Three more deer when we got home at 5pm, then one more deer at 8pm. 3/20 Turkeys and lots of deer at daylight. Numerous deer all day long. At least 13 in one group, at dusk. No elk here, but we saw some on the road to Ruidoso. Loved the cabin. Thanks!

What a fabulous find! We loved the cabin with all its comforts of home. The kitchen was amazing for a get-away cabin and we ate well... loved Big Daddy's - thanks for the recommendation. The weather was awesome - 20s to 40s and we enjoyed a little snow here in Cloudcroft amd 3 days of skiing in Ruidoso. The kids loved their rooms and electric blankets! (we don't need those in S. Texas!) Thanks again and may God bless your beautiful little cabin and all your efforts.
Dawn Dylla - Poth, TX
I loved this cabin because I got to feed lots of different animals and see them closely. We saw deer, elk, turkeys and blue jays. When we left corn out in the morning and left to Ruidoso and came back, it was always gone! An animal would always come morning, day and night. Thank you for letting me stay here!

Mrs. Fitzwater - Thanks for letting us stay in your cabin. I love it. It is so cozy. I got the upstairs bedroom with the pink quilt. It was just like the bedrooms in Little House on the Prairie. I've always wanted to sleep in a room like that. Last night we watched a movie. The living room is super comfortable. It fit all six of us just right! My favorite part is feeding the deer. They let us sit on the steps and watch them. Are those three the ones that always come? I'll call them Annie, Jane and Spicey. We also saw wild turkeys. I'm sooo glad my parents picked this cabin.
P.S. Your kitchen has everything.
Later: today only one deer, Annie, came today (this morning). She shared the feeder with a flock of wild turkeys. But about an hour later, she came back with 7 other does! Jane, who is the largest & the leader, got first dibs. I think she has a fawn, because the baby stuck close to Jane and she even got to eat with her. Jane usually chases away all other deer until she finishes. I named the baby Jessa.

We had a very lovely visit, the only problem was that it wasn't long enough. Cloudcroft is one of our favorite places. We had the best time getting whooped at RISK by my husband, but not to worry - I reigned supreme at Yahtzee! You have made a very charming cabin a joy to stay in. Thank you so much.

This experience, staying at this lovely cabin, was amazing. The cabin has such beautiful decor & I love the picture by the table of the names of God. I love the books & wooden toys you provide for the guests, and especially the fully equipped kitchen w/all the amenities. I think the best thing about this week, other than spending time with my family, was getting to spend time with our very good friends. You are wonderful, gracious hosts, so warm and kind. It was truly an amazing week and now we head back home with rest and peace that our beautiful surroundings, extraordinary cooking and superb company provided us. May God pour down his blessings on you and your loved ones always. We love you!

Thank you for letting us stay at this sweet, wonderful cabin. Everything was just perfect. My son & daughter loved it! The baby stuff was great to have to use, and the wildlife was fun to watch.

We had a great time here! We love your cabin and appreciate your well stocked kitchen, which enabled us to make several delicious meals. We saw deer, a rabbit and lots of hummingbirds, but sad to say - no bears. My three girls really loved the swing. We made some great memories and look forward to returning here again. God bless you.

We had another fabulous trip! As always, we enjoyed the weather and the wildlife. Summer wouldn't be the same without a relaxing trip to Cedar Lodge to recharge everyone's batteries before school starts. Thanks for everything.

P.S. The bear visited us around 8 pm and fell off the porch. Very exciting!
July 2008
This cabin is so cozy and wonderful that the kids are already asking when we can return! Upon our arrival, it was raining and we were greeted by Ebite, a friendly neighborhood dog. He spent all night and the next morning on the front porch. The kids loved playing with him, and he chased away a raccon intent on getting the bird feeders. His owner got him Sunday noon, and he hasn't visited since. The kids have enjoyed the swing, the toys and games, and feeding the wildlife in the feeder out back. Unfortunately, my husband got sick on Monday with either bronchitis or pneumonia. The local family doctor wouldn't see him, so we made a trip to Alamogordo to a clinic. He toughed it out a few nights here, but the altitude made it difficult for him so we left one day early. However, we've really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning!
The Burgans - Frisco, TX

We really enjoyed the cabin and all the extras that you provided. We found the beds very comfortable and really enjoyed sitting on the deck. When we arrived on Saturday, the bird nest on the front door had 3 blue eggs in it, our girls were very excited when they hatched on Tuesday. We enjoyed watching the mother bird feed her 3 babies. On Wednesday, we made a day trip to White Sands and went shopping. When we returned that night, we were greeted by a raccoon on the deck. We thought we scared him away, but after we entered the cabin we heard a loud commotion on the deck and a bump on the door. When we opened the door, the 3 baby birds were laying on the door mat and mother bird was no where to be found. We used a tissue and gently placed the baby birds back in the nest (they were still alive) and watched all that day for the mother to return - she never came back. We don't know if the coon got her or not. After the mother failed to return, our girls made a mush of bread and milk and fed the babies with an eye dropper. However, despite our best efforts, the babies died one by one until Friday when the last baby died. It was a sad time. Our girls gently buried them by the tree with the swing on it. Other than that, we had a great time watching the deer, the birds, a rabbit, and oh yes, Ebite, the large friendly dog who would bring us pine cones to throw and he would fetch them.
Thanks again for a wonderful and beautiful week.
The Ludecke's - Stamford, TX
July 2008
We really enjoyed our stay at your lovely cabin. We sat on the porch in the evenings and enjoyed the smell of the fresh mountain air. One night we left the lights off for a while and watched the animals wander by - we saw deer, raccoons, rabbits, and very briefly, a bear! We watched bats swooping, too. We also enjoyed games, since it rained for some of our stay. It was nice to have some fun family time in a beautiful setting. And the fully equipped kitchen was a real blessing, allowing us to cook in several nights. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us!
The Pipkins - Tulsa, OK
July 2008
WOW! Words cannot describe how much we enjoyed ourselves. This was our boys first time in a forest. They had a blast on the swing, walking on trails and seeing the pine trees! You have a beautiful place. It was warm and cozy and much more than we expected. Hammy did visit and we laughed so hard! We saw two beautiful deer eating out back along side a rabbit. Again, thanks for everything. All I can end with is... WOW!
The Flores' - McAllen, TX

We had a great time and enjoyed our stay. Times like these make memories that are precious and will stay with us forever. We are from El Paso, TX; Colorado Springs, CO; and Thomasville, AL. We only spent one night here, but that time was well spent. We saw deer and the bear here, yesterday. My little girls caught their first rainbow trout yesterday. Thank you for the memories.

Our family of six, the Bradleys, from Stuart, Florida spent 3 nights here. We all enjoyed our stay. The children loved the cabin and were thrilled with the wildlife - hummingbirds, deer, porcupine, and while watching a movie Friday night, a black bear was sitting just outside the living room window. We cooked in two nights, played board games - RISK - and enjoyed the many cozy things the cabin had to offer. Thank you!

This place is beautiful! Deer welcomed us Thursday night, when we arrived, and wild turkeys came by today to see us off. Such hospitality! This cabin, with all its comfort, helps us relax and forget about our busy lives. We've recharged and are ready to tackle anything - at least up to the next holiday or weekend when we can get away again. Love it!

The Robinsons - Edmond, OK

Greetings! While arriving at about 8:00 at night, it was dark and snowing mildly. We all arrived - the six of us college students. We were in a great shock of such an amzaing cabin this is! As we settled into the cabin, everything we found was great! The rooms, the chimney, the kitchen, and finally the great scenery, the deer and raccoons coming out at night. Our first night was amazing. It is morning time now and we cooked a delicious breakfast that was really "finger licking good!"
We all had a triumphant time. This is a really nice cabin and we hope to come back again! Thank you.

It's the Wootens, again! Today, on 1-4-08, we saw millions of blue birds - it was beautiful. We also named a deer Elliot.
My family and I really enjoyed our stay. I love all the Christian books and wooden picture of "Jesus Christ ...and He Shall Be Called" - Love it! It was great to spend quality time with my family and have some silent prayer time, too. The deer and racoons were marvelous! Thank you! Michelle Wooten

Our week getaway was great! No traffic and busy city life was just what we needed. The cabin was cozy. We loved the wildlife! There was deer & turkey every day, up to 16 deer one day. Raccoons at night was a surprise, especially when he was on the front porch! The wife, kids and I had a wonderful December vacation in NM mountains in Cloudcroft.

We really enjoyed our stay here. My grandson, wife and I had a great time. Thank you so much for the little things, like the spices, books and games. This is such a nice place to come to after chasing the little white ball all day at the Lodge golf course. We were so glad to see all the birds here, 'cause we didnt see many "birdies" there. Our grandson, Landen, really liked his bed at the top of the stairs. We have to come back soon. He wants to bring his mom and dad and two little brothers here. Thanks.
The Simmons - Slaton, TX

This was exactly what we needed! Your cabin met all of our needs. My 3 girls really enjoyed the warmth of the wood burning stove, the comfort of the rooms, and the deer watching in the morning. The tree swing was also a big hit! Our family really bonded in this quaint cabin. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cabin.
The Whites - El Paso, TX

We had a very relaxing & quiet time in your warm, inviting cabin. We loved the comfort of the rooms and the kitchen conveniences, and how clean and neat everything was. This was just the experience we needed and wanted. This was our first trip to Cloudcroft and we hope to return to Cedar Cabin for another restful time. We feed the white tail deer at our home, but it was delightful to see a mule deer, although she was painfully undernourished. Thank you.

The Berry Family - Jarales, NM

This trip has been one of the best by far. For the first time of staying in a cabin, it was great. The family was able to do so much together, and there are no words to describe the look on my son's face when he saw the deer. Thank you for sharing the cabin with us and giving us the experience of a life time.
A.W. - Midland, TX

Thank you for a wonderful 4-day stay. The cabin was perfect. Our two boys were like Goldie Locks the first night, looking for the perfect bed, with so many options. We came to ride dirt bikes, so we only spent mornings & evenings, but have enjoyed every minute. The wood burning stove has been nice to clear the chill. The cabin is so organized and the coffee is great! Thanks again.
The Elgin family - Buffalo Gap, TX

The Bible talks about the Lord doing exceedingly, abundantly more than what we can ask for... our stay at your beautiful cabin, this weekend, was just that. Our family has never had a more awesome get away. The memories here were priceless. We had a blast playing board games, talking and walking. We could not say enough about how much we loved it here - it was perfect. Our oldest son, who just got back from Iraq, said that he was finally able to relax - what a blessing. I will tell my friends about this place, and come back as often as we can. Thanks for the incredible memories! He is risen - Praise the Lord!

Your cabin is absolutely beautiful! I've been here four times, and it still takes my breath away. It is so cozy here and it feels just like home. I love making trips over here and sleeping in those warm blankets. I love this cabin so very much.

March 2007
We loved it here! We have 4 children and they were all excited to have a bed of their own after squeezing into hotel beds for the last few days. But, then they went ahead and all slept in one room. I guess it was the thought that mattered. We loved feeding the deer, swinging on the swing and watching the wood stove. We went out last night to see the blanket of stars and saw 5 falling stars. It was a very relaxing and magical stay. This is a very comfortable and welcoming cabin. We hate to leave. Thank you so much.
M.M. - Austin, TX
March 2007
What a lovely place to stay! Our two children, 14 and 10, loved having their own room. We loved all the wonderful touches like the fabulous lotions & soap, to the hot chocolate & pancake mix. The kids had a ball watching the stellar jays out back. Thank you, Lisa, for offering such a truly lovely place to relax and rejuvenate. We played several of the board games and enjoyed reading by the warmth of the awesome stove. We were awed to be welcomed by new snowfall - first snow ever for the kids! Upon arriving, they were out having snowball fights & making snow angels. We also enjoyed the swing out front. The CD collection was great, too! We look forward to another visit.
C.B. - College Station, TX

We loved the cabin the minute we walked in! My 7 year old told us she wanted us to buy it! It was extremely homey and we felt right at home. Next time we will stay for more than one night. We were blessed by knowing your brother Derek, who was the one that told us about you. 'Til next time...

What a wondrous get away. This place and all its surroundings made our annual "anniversary get away" one of the best yet. Now we can't wait to come again with the family to share all of God's creation with them in a very awesome fashion. Thank you so much for a very comfortable and home-like setting.

When I first saw the cabin with all the snow surrounding it, it was just picture-perfect. Tonight was our first night, and already it's the perfect weekend getaway. I am very thankful I had the chance to come up with my boyfriend's family. Thanks a bunch!
M.K. - El Paso, TX
January 2007
Thank you for the perfect weekend! We have always enjoyed Cloudcroft & your cabin has been the best stay so far. We had 11 deer in the back yard and three of them 4 feet away. Late at night, we saw raccoons. The deer enjoy your Pachabel CD, mostly #7. They came running twice when we put it on! It snowed Saturday and made the scenery beautiful. We took the kids sledding and ice skating. I took pictures of my husband cleaning off the car! Thanks again.

Christmas 2006
This is our first trip to Cloudcroft. Within the first hour after unloading the trucks, there were about 4 deer only feet away from the back door. And since then, we've had about 4 sightings. Awesome! The next day, we had about 10 deer at the back door! We've enjoyed the cabin immensely. Going into town shopping was fun, too! The cabin was stocked with goodies, as well. We love the big deck & wood stove; kept us toasty! We will definitely be back next year. Thanks again, Lisa & Rick!
The Melder family - Corpus Christi, TX
Thanksgiving 2006
Thanks a lot. We had a great time here at Cedar Lodge. I always loved coming up to Cloudcroft when I was a kid. I'm originally from El Paso, so we came up here often. Although I haven't been up here in over 15 years, not much has changed and Cloudcroft is still one of my top 3 vacation spots. This is Vero's first time in Cloudcroft, and we both enjoyed watching the wildlife come up to the back window and grab a bite to eat. The upstairs has wonderful views. I liked the fact that you provide maps, booklets, and basically any other info on stuff to see and do in Cloudcroft. The soap and lotion were great. I'm keeping both website addresses for future references, in case I run out of soap or get time off to escape reality. Once again, thanks a lot.
Armando & Vero - Denton, TX

I loved the heavy rain. We don't get storms like that. I loved the flock of wild turkey. The fireplace is great & the decor is cozy. Being in the trees is relaxing. The blue jays, squirrels & hummingbirds are a treat. It was great to feel COLD for a change. The museum in town was amazing. It looked like one cabin, but is more than 8 buildings stuffed with Americana! I liked the cabin where 12 kids were raised, and the old railroad caboose. I'd never seen one that old. I had a great stay. Rained a lot, but sunny every day to get out and explore. Thanks.
G.D. - La Mesa, CA

Thank you for your outstanding hospitality! We felt right at home. Peace, quiet, "critters" and rain were just what the doctor ordered! We are already planning our next trip back. The deer, raccoon, birds and rabbit were quite entertaining. Thanks to the cool temps and lots of rain, our minds and bodies have been recharged - such a difference from the 100+ plus weather down South! Thanks again, we all had a great time!

Every moment here has been a delight - from the time we drove down the lane to the opening of the front door. Beautiful, tasteful and a warm touch of home. Great living room with cozy wood burning stove. Spacious dining arrangement, and all the conveniences in the lovely kitchen. I found all the bedrooms decorated with true country charm. Thank you for a wonderful adventure at your cabin. We saw deer and enjoyed the rustling sound of the wind through the tree tops. What a treasure! We are looking forward to future visits. Thanks for helping us create a wonderful memory.

We will definitely come here again when we come back to Cloudroft & we will tell our friends about it! By the way, for the future guests that may read this, Rebekka's Restaurant is excellent! And her history about her haunting is intriguing, although we didn't see her.
