Great rustic cabin, very quiet location up a 1 lane private track. Near to cloudcroft. Had a great 1 day/2 night stay. Breakfast provided, which was nice (eggs, sausage, pancake mix). Slept our family of six easily. My kids got a kick out of the composting toilet. I’d stay again.

Beautiful location!
We were only able to stay one night, but this is a great cabin in a beautiful location - it feels like you have the whole mountain to yourself. Will visit again!
