Top Apache Point Observatory Hotel Reviews

Sleeps 18 · 4 Private Acres · Canyon Views & Arcade

10/10 Excellent

"The property was as described and promised. Beautiful location. Secluded, quiet, and private. Easy to get to from town. House was well equipped and easily fit our extended family with multiple sleeping areas. Very comfortable. Will return."

The Lodge at Cloudcroft

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed a short one night stay. The hot tub was great and the unheated pool was great for a mini "polar plunge"! Its chilly up on the mountain so be prepared for that. They had coffee in the lobby in the morning and the shops in the lobby area were cute. The floors were pretty creaky so you can def hear people above walking around but it is part of the experience of staying in a 100-year-old lodge. The tub faucet was broken in our room but we managed to get it to work. Nice towels, comfy bed. Fridge in the room. Waters provided. Good stay overall."
