Hello to the Sanduskys. Just wanted to tell you that Charlotte and I
thoroughly enjoyed staying at your house in Cloudcroft. I can’t express the
right words to say how beautiful the house is, inside and out. Thanks for
sharing the opportunity to visit such a majestic place. We only went out once to
go into Cloudcroft. We were perfectly content watching the mountains and country
around us. The elk were very active. We listened to them bugle every morning and
night (around dark). We also saw them one morning and two nights come beside the
house. Once again, thank you, Robin and Charlotte Roberts. 9/12/13
Jeri-Lynn, Just wanted to let you know what a great time we had in New Mexico and how nice and comfortable your home was to stay in. Betty and I have stayed in quite a few homes over the years (in different places), but we really appreciated how well stocked it was, how nicely furnished it was, and everything about it. (Sometimes we stay in houses that are nice but where it is difficult to even find salt and pepper!!). I could tell by our e-mail traffic and your great informational letter that this was going to be a great experience, and it was! Thanks again for allowing us to rent your home, and hopefully we will be able to do it again!! 10/1/13
We are sad to leave tomorrow. We had a wonderful time at Elk Hollow. This afternoon we saw more than 20 elks, and we had a very relaxing vacation. My wife is in love with your house.
Much thanks, Bruce 3/24/13
Jeri Lynn and Bill,

We are back in Midland and unpacked after visiting your cabin in Cloudcroft. We had a great time! You couldn’t have been more correct about the need for snow chains. We had one four wheel drive pickup and a two wheel drive pickup. After seeing the four wheel slide around on the left turn, I put the chains on the two wheel and not a problem. The weather was perfect and the snow was still powder around the cabin Thanks again for sharing your home. It was a great get away for us! 2/13/11.
We had a wonderful time at Elk Hollow last weekend! We only saw the elk one morning, but there were several deer around, including a couple of whitetails (which I'd never seen in the Cloudcroft area before.) Those big trout will eat bread right out of your hand...which was awesome. Thanks for sharing your place with us. Best regards, Andy, Kelly, and Emily Cooper,Lovington, NM.
Hi, Jeri-Lynn: Your Elk Hollow home was a wonderful place to stay! It is so comfortable, cozy, immaculately clean and a lovely location. Marlin and I definitely want to stay again in the future; thank you for making it available to rent. We hope you and your family had a very thankful Thanksgiving holiday and that your Christmas will be merry! Kathleen Wells 11/28/11
Jerilynn and Bill, Just wanted to say Thank You SO MUCH for the use of your cabin. It was FANTASTIC!!!! We absolutely LOVED it!!! Hope we can go again soon. 3/19/12 Thanks Again, Jill Toms
We loved staying at Elk Hollow. We were especially impressed with how well-organized the set up was--everything we needed was right at our fingertips. Thanks so much for having us. Lori Correll 6/11/12
The photos on the website below were taken by one of our guests at our Elk Hollow cabin in New Mexico. Treesha Duncan is an amateur photographer (according to her), which I find hard to believe. She is very gifted! http://www.flickr.com/photos/iamtreesha/sets/72157630357197952/
Jeri Lynn, Just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time at Elk Hollow cabin Oct. 7 - 11! Everything was great. The cabin has everything that anyone could possibly need except more time! Your property has been by far our best VRBO experience to date and we look forward to returning in the future. Every evening we enjoyed sitting on the deck in the peace and quiet. Nobody wanted to come home. Big Daddy's Diner in Cloudcroft was always packed for good reason! Great chicken-fried steak and the green chili chicken stew was fantastic. We also found a great Mexican or should I say New Mexican food restaurant in Alamogordo called Margo's. Great food and service. I've attached a few photos I took around the cabin and on our hikes. Also, if your interested, more of my photos can be seen on the blogsite below. Granted it is still under construction. jhobbsimagescapes.blogspot.com Thanks again. Warmest regards, John

6/6/11 "Thank you for sharing your cabin. It is a wonderful place-so comfortable and has everything someone could need. We didn't do much - just sat on the great porch watching the birds, wildlife and enjoying the peace and quiet. The cool weather was such a treat, since we are from hot, humid, Houston. We would love to come back in the future." THE RIGG'S
6/9-6/19 "Your cabin was beyond our expectations. We loved feeding the trout, koi, and looking for elk and deer, playing dominos, working puzzles, baking cookies and just enjoying quality time. On our second day here, we saw a half dozen elk come through the yard. One doe chose to lay in the shade next to the deck. She laid there for almost an hour and didn't mind us watching her. I always have a camera, and my husband always has binoculars. We felt the cabin could use a pair of binoculars, so we left a pair for you. A fitting end to our last night - it rained! As they say in New England, we had a "wicked Awesome" time." THE KANE'S FROM DOUGLAS, MASS.
6/19-6/26 "Thank you for sharing your awesome cabin with us! It made our 34th wedding anniversary just perfect. How peaceful it is to sit on the deck each evening and look at all the stars. It is amazing what you can see when you are away from the city lights. We will always remember this awesome place. Even thought we came to jeep the forest trails, our special time at the cabin was wonderful." THE SHORTS OF CLEBURNE, TX.
6/28-71 "We had an amazing and relaxing stay at Elk Hollow. We were fortunate to see several elk - some right by the cabin each evening, as well as a few deer. The birds were so much fun to watch...they are so territorial! Your cabin was immaculate and so well stocked. We have never stayed at a cabin as nice as yours...you have truly thought of everything. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin. We look forward to coming back again." THE REEVES, LUBBOCK, TX
7/1-7/5 Love this Cloudcroft air and the cabin is awesome. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you so very much for sharing your wonderful home. THE HUBBS, BURLESON, TX.
7/7-7/10 "We had a marvelous time. Our 4 year old and 2 year old loved the fish pond, and I'm quite certain the fish are fatter for it. Thanks for allowing us to stay, will certainly be back. THE RATCLIFFS
7/11-7/17 "My husband, my mother, her caregiver, and I have had a marvelous time in your lovely cabin. We've enjoyed sitting on the deck in 50, 60, and 70 degree weather watching rain storms, lightening shows, and rainbows. How majestic it is to look out over the valley below and the forest all around! We saw a lot of elk, deer, birds, and one black bear cub. Enjoyed our noon meals at the Western Bar & Grill. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! How I wish that we could be your neighbors!
THE HARWOODS, SEQUIN, TX
Aug. 2011 - Elk Hollow - a perfect getaway where the birds feed in squadrons and the hummingbirds sound like landing helicopters and are as big as buicks! We had a wonderful time at the cabin and were especially grateful for the cool temps after roasting in the Houston inferno during summer. Hoping to return again next year..The Wilsons
2010 GUEST COMMENTS
Jan 4-8 "Wonderful Vacation! Thank you so much for providing such a beautiful, clean, well equipped place to stay and play. Elk Hollow exceeded our expectations. Our girls ages 4 & 9 absolutely loved it here. They played in the snow outside the cabin everyday. We skated at the local ice rink, tubed on the hills, and enjoyed numerous shops and restaurants. We hope that Elk Hollow will be available to stay at for many winters to come." THE HOFFER FAMILY - VICTORIA, TX
"We had a great time - your cabin is so cozy. I felt like home. We had some issues with the mattress warmers shutting off in the middle of the night. Other than that, it was great (the mattress warmers shut off automatically after 10 hours. All you have to do is to press the ON button again to turn it back on). We got to see many birds, and one deer by the cabin. We plan to return. Thanks again. THE BEATTY FAMILY - SAN ANGELO, TX
Jan 15-18 "We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Elk Hollow. Your cabin has so much rustic charm and all the comforts of home. We brought our 3 almost grown children for a weekend of family time. We all had a blast sledding down the driveway, having a game tournament, and having dinner at the Lodge. Thank you for allowing us to share your cabin. We will definately be back." THE TIBBETS FAMILY - LUBBOCK, TX
Jan 22-25 "WOW, WOW, WOW! We had a super time! Your cabin is gorgeous! You thought of everything. The kids had a great time, and so did we. Thank you so much. THE ARCHER FAMILY - EL PASO, TX
Jan 30 - Feb 2 "Thank you for a wonderful vacation. We all had a blast here. The cabin was perfect. We needed nothing except maybe a chef on hand, ha, ha. We went skiing both days at Ski Cloudcroft. It was superb. My nine year old didn't want to go to ski school, but with coaxing she went. By the end of the day she was a little "speed demon" flying down the mountain. We had snowball fights, made a strange looking snowman, and played Texas Hold'm games at night. Thank you for allowing us to crash your pad! THE MARINO FAMILY - GEORGETOWN, TX
Feb 7-12 "My fiance wanted to surprise me with a perfect vacation and he has done it at ten time over! The cabin was comfortable and the view was marvelous. The driveway was a bit slippery and difficult to walk on, but Mr. Mrkvicka (our neighbor) was kind enough to fix it. We appreciated it very much. We would certainly recommend this place to our friends. Even the weather cooperated to make my wish come true - IT SNOWED! We had a wonderful time in Cloudcroft. Thank you". STEVEN & MIDORI - KERVILLE, TX
Feb 12-15 "Our first family vacation in NM was terrific. We really enjoyed the beautiful cabin and mountain views. The kids enjoyed playing outside the cabin, the ice skating rink in town/tubing/skiing at Ski Cloudcroft. We're already planning a return to your awesome cabin and town in 2011." THE DAVIS FAMILY - NEW BRAUNFELS, TX
3/19-21 "Our first time in Cloudcroft. We had a fabulous experience! Everything was emaculate and super comfy! Our boys 5 & 10 want to live here. They loved stepping out to their own personal sledding hill. Thanks for having sleds (we forgot ours). Also for everything you provided to make our stay so much like home! We will return and tell our friends how great our stay has been. God bless you!" THE FOUTZ FAMILY - RIO RANCH, NM
3/22-23 "What a wonderful home from home! it was a much needed get-away for us as we celebrated my 61st birthday by hiking up Guadalupe Peak! So needless to say, we needed this R & R. We enjoyed exploring Cloudcroft, but most of all, we enjoyed relaxing on the deck and sitting in front of the fireplace. Thank you for such a lovely visit and for all your thoughtfulness. It was so fun to see snow since we hardly ever get to in New Braunfels. Thanks again for everything. Hope we can come back! God bless you." THE MATULICH FAMILY
3/28-28 "We had a wonderful vacation. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We have rented vacation homes for several years but never experienced such an emaculate, organized, & well equipped home. Our two six year olds love it here and want to move. The snow discs were put to use everyday, and we enjoyed our own private sledding slope. Thanks again for everything. We look forward to coming back next year." THE WILLIAMSON FAMILY - HICO, TX
4/14 -21 "The second time around was better than the first!" THE HOWZE FAMILY - DENHAM SPRINGS, LA
"My husband and I had a blast. Thank you so much for your hospitality. Your cabin is amazing and so warm. We loved seeing the deer and hanging out on the deck. You have an amazing view. I loved waking up and just looking out. Once again, thank you. We want to come back soon." THE PAR FAMILY - GRAND PRAIRIE, TX

"Thanks so much for sharing your lovely cabin with us. We had a wonderful time thanks to all the planning and forethought you've put into pleasing your guests. We were blessed with cool weather which was such a nice change from our ot Texas summer. The birding was great and we saw a couple of deer, too. Many thanks again for making this one of our most memorable vacations." THE GIRLS - PORT ARTHUR & MARBLE FALLS, TX
"We had a wonderful time enjoying the cool weather and strolling around the darling town. My family and I love Cloudcroft and have enjoyed staying up here many times...but your cabin is by far the nicest one we have stayed in and would love to come back again. We enjoyed reading, playing family games, laughing, and just relaxing on your porch. Perfect plan for a family vacation." THE ENGLUND FAMILY - ALLEN, TX
"You have a beautiful mountain home and we had a wonderful time. We saw elk right next to the cabin nearly every day, which was a real treat! We love the home's decor and just couldn't have been more comfortable. We'll miss having coffee on the deck and watching the birds." THE MANTOOTHS - LEWISTOWN, MONTANA
"Trip #3 was just as wonderful as our prior two trips. We are already planning our trip for next summer. We feel like this is our home when we are here. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your wonderful mountain home. THE KIMBROWS - BURNET, TX
9/20 - 9/22 "Thank you for sharing your beautiful home in Cloudcroft. We had the most wonderful time. It is so beautiful and peaceful up there. I love how you have decorated. If my husband did not have to go back to work at UNLV, we would have called for an extension." THE CURRYS - LAS VEGAS, NV
9/25-9/30 "Thank you so much for sharing Elk Hollow with us for a great vacation trip. Everything was perfect. The house is charming and has everything that made us feel right at home. We enjoy watching wildlife, so we were especially excited to see a bull elk and 10 cows the first morning we were there, and we saw them again while we were packing to leave on the last morning. We also enjoyed seeing several whitetail, and mule deer, and lots of birds. All of the wildlife and birds were seen right from the cabin. Several times wer tood advantage of the hiking trail you suggested which starts by the fish pond. It was always cool, and just the right distance for a hike. We had never been to Ruidoso before so we decided to take a drive there one day. We decided that Ruidoso was much too busy for us. We enjoyed visiting Cloudcroft so much more, which is more quiet and friendly. Our favorite part of the whole trip was just sitting on the porch of the cabin and relaxing, and enjoying the cool weather. Thank you so much for a great stay at Elk Hollow. We hope to make the trip again. " THE KNEESES - FREDERICKSBURG, TX

"Trip #3 was just as wonderful as our prior two trips. We are already planning our trip for next summer. We feel like this is our home when we are here. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your wonderful mountain home. THE KIMBROWS - BURNET, TX
9/20 - 9/22 "Thank you for sharing your beautiful home in Cloudcroft. We had the most wonderful time. It is so beautiful and peaceful up there. I love how you have decorated. If my husband did not have to go back to work at UNLV, we would have called for an extension." THE CURRYS - LAS VEGAS, NV
9/25-9/30 "Thank you so much for sharing Elk Hollow with us for a great vacation trip. Everything was perfect. The house is charming and has everything that made us feel right at home. We enjoy watching wildlife, so we were especially excited to see a bull elk and 10 cows the first morning we were there, and we saw them again while we were packing to leave on the last morning. We also enjoyed seeing several whitetail, and mule deer, and lots of birds. All of the wildlife and birds were seen right from the cabin. Several times wer tood advantage of the hiking trail you suggested which starts by the fish pond. It was always cool, and just the right distance for a hike. We had never been to Ruidoso before so we decided to take a drive there one day. We decided that Ruidoso was much too busy for us. We enjoyed visiting Cloudcroft so much more, which is more quiet and friendly. Our favorite part of the whole trip was just sitting on the porch of the cabin and relaxing, and enjoying the cool weather. Thank you so much for a great stay at Elk Hollow. We hope to make the trip again. " THE KNEESES - FREDERICKSBURG, TX
