About this property

ELK HOLLOW, MOUNTAIN VIEWS, NEAR NAT'L FOREST, DUCK & FISH POND


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.

Great time celebrating 40th anniversary!
Our nephews really enjoyed seeing a herd of Elks, plus snow on Saturday morning. It was their first experience in the mountains, great location, plus walking to the pond near by was also one of their favorite time. One of our favorite cabins.

Perfect Getaway
Our stay was exactly how the description is written. The cabin is beautiful, has everything you need, elk walking through the yard, close, but not to close to town. We really enjoyed the stay and I guarantee we will be going back again.

Cozy little getaway!
We really enjoyed our weekend getaway at this cabin! It's perfectly decorated well-appointed with all the things that you need for an amazing stay in an amazing area! Close enough to Ruidoso for shopping and dining, and close enough to cloudcroft and all the recreation that the area has to offer! We would love to stay there again sometime soon!

About the host

Hosted by Jeri-Lynn & Bill Sandusky

Host profile image
Jeri-Lynn Sandusky - Host

My husband retired from the Air Force with 26 years of service, and I had a career in real estate specializing in corporate and military relocation. We've lived all over the USA including Washington, DC, MD, PA, SC, FL, CO, UT, TX, NV, and overseas in Japan and Korea.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Cloudcroft after visiting friends there in 2003. We enjoyed living in the mountains previously, so we decided to build a second home in Cloudcroft once we found the perfect location - which we did!

At Elk Hollow we provide everything you need to make your vacation a wonderful experience. We want all of our guests to feel as though Elk Hollow is their own little piece of heaven.

What makes this property unique

Well, you just can't beat the view from Elk Hollow! Mountain views and woodland views from all rooms, and Elk Hollow has a large, fully covered wrap-around deck and gas BBQ for your enjoyment. We also have Wi-Fi and 3 TV's and 2 DVD players. We furnish all condiments, herbs, spices, coffee, flour, sugar, soaps and paper products, but ask our guests to resupply a staple if they see one is getting low. If you're visiting for the wildlife, then we've got it. It is not uncommon to see herds of elk in our yard and throughout the neighborhood. We have a large pond down the road where you can feed the many fish, ducks, and just across the pond is a hiking trail through the Lincoln National Forest. We furnish snow discs for your little ones when we get a snowy winter.
