About this property

Rustic Luxury away from it all

Just 15 minutes from the Village of Cloudcroft and nestled amongst the pines, Fawn Passage is the perfect little getaway for one or two. This cabin is not appropriate for small children and you must have pre-approval before bringing a child. For our protection and yours, we have a camera on the front exterior of the cabin, aimed at the driveway.

Fawn Passage welcomes you home to peaceful beauty. Just bring your clothes, we'll provide the rest. You can't help but leave here feeling rested and de-stressed! While we depend on God to provide the wildlife and beautiful weather, we provide relaxation, comfortable furnishings TV, lots of books, and WiFi. We do not provide cable or dish, so there is no television reception. We do, however, provide over 70 movies for your enjoyment. The stereo is bluetooth enabled so you can connect from your phone and listen to Pandora, Spotify, etc. through the speakers.

We do not allow smoking inside or out, and we do not allow pets. Fire restrictions are usually high, but you may use the propane grill on the deck.

If you're ready to feel pampered, come upstairs where we have a queen size bed with an excellent mattress, 2" memory foam mattress topper, 400-500 thread count 100% cotton sheets, a down comforter and fluffy pillows. One short nap on this bed will make you want to go to bed early and sleep in late. All bed linens are provided and all are line-dried in fresh air and sunshine, and then pressed.

Fawn Passage features a well-stocked kitchen, that's ready to cook in or just to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. It includes a full size stove and refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, toaster, and coffee pot, and is fully stocked with new dishes, cookware and crock pots, as well as a gas grill on the deck. We provide you with filtered water, fresh ground coffee (both regular & decaf), hot cocoa, hot apple cider, specialty teas, pancake mix and syrup, and a variety of instant oatmeal. We make it easy for you to prepare delicious meals with a well stocked spice cabinet. The kitchen is surrounded by windows, so it's light and airy and offers an excellent view of the wildlife. We provide so many extras at no extra charge, that it's like coming to your own home away from home. If you need it, we probably provide it.

In the bathroom, we pamper you with with quality handmade soap and lotion from Thymeless Bath & Oils, as well as a blow dryer and flat iron.

You can relax and unwind inside or out. Our living area includes large comfortable furniture to curl up in and watch a movie, read, snuggle or just take a nap. The woodburner is ready to use, with all the wood provided for you at no extra charge. When it's cold outside, there's nothing more relaxing than curling up on the couch and watching the flames flicker. There are two heaters in the living room, in case you don't want to make a fire.

The covered deck provides the perfect spot to cook steaks on the grill or just sit and watch the hummingbirds. If you pay attention, you might see deer, turkey, rabbits, blue jays, porcupines, elk or a bear.

At Fawn Passage, the summer daytime highs can be anywhere from 50 to 80 degrees with the overnight lows around 45 to 60, so bring a sweater or light jacket. Winter daytime highs can range from 20 to 50, with overnight lows very cold, so you'll definitely need a warm jacket! In winter months (Dec-Jan), we recommend 4WD or chains. You can usually get up our driveway without them, but 4WD makes it much easier, if there is snow. I always have people ask if they "need" 4WD or can they get here without it. 90% of the time you can, but there's always that 10% chance. You'll have to decide if it's necessary.

Fawn Passage is not a hunter's lodge and while we do host the occasional hunter, you will be required to take extra care that most hunters are not willing to do. We have white towels and bedding, as well as light colored carpeting. No field dressing deer or elk allowed on the property.

Relaxing getaway
Wanted a place to detach and recharge for my birthday. This place was perfect! We decided to cook most of our meals at the cabin. So much was provided which made it great! The cabin warmed up beautifully and the BED was like heaven. This is an excellent choice

Cute, comfortable cabin
This little cabin is a great place to stay. It is exceptionally clean and well maintained. The furniture is comfortable, and a lot of thought was given to be sure guests are comfortable. The only reason I didn't rate it at 5 stars is the loft/bedroom. It is as good as it could be, but the ceiling slopes so much that it is hard to avoid bumping your head. At least it was for me. My wife was apparently more careful. Maybe I'm a klutz. Kudos to the owner/host for making the most with what they have.
