My wife and two teenage boys wanted to escape 105-degree Arizona, and Cloudcroft was a nice 9,000 foot elevation alternative. Temperatures in June were 80 high, 65 low. Comfortable enough to leave doors and windows open for fresh breeze.
The place is very quiet, but close to other cabins. We met several of the neighbors, all very nice people.
It is not completely "middle of nowhere". The cabin is 5 miles from the edge of town, 10 miles to the Cloudcroft center. There are nice restaurants and shopping, including delicious BBQ and Pizza/Beer brewery.
For supplies, Allsup's, Family Dollar, and New Village Hardware were limited in selection, so drove 40 minutes each way to Alamagordo several times for groceries and supplies.
Kitchen was well-stocked. Coffee with electric kettle and french press. Induction stove, oven, fridge and freezer, pans, enough to prepare our meals.
We used Cloudcroft as a "home base" and drove to see other parts of NM, including Roswell, Ruidoso, and Mescalero.
Fire danger was Yellow, so we only had one outdoor fire pit for hot dogs and S'mores, and one inside fireplace, using clean wood purchased at Allsup's to avoid smoke.
Only one bathroom, and shower was really just a hand-held hose connected to bathtub nozzle. The cabin is an "A-Frame" so often bumped my head going up-stairs to master bedroom. I am not used to walls that slant.
The Roku-TV and Wi-Fi allowed us to play video games during the day, and watch movies at night.
