A true bed and breakfast
The Crofting is a true bed and breakfast. The house dates to 1909, making it one of the oldest structures in Cloudcroft. It sits on Swallow Place, a quiet side street a short walk from the village’s main drag, surrounded by spruce trees.
Each room is unique. Vintage furnishings, antique decor, and the character of a 1909 house.
The inn has 8 individually furnished rooms with private balconies in select rooms and wood floors throughout. Mornings include a full home-cooked breakfast served at 8:30 a.m.
This is a stay built around charm, breakfast, quiet, and host interaction. If you want a small B&B with a personal feel and a real breakfast, this is one of the strongest options in Cloudcroft. If you want a front desk, flexible check-in, or resort amenities, look elsewhere.
