A True Bed & Breakfast
The Crofting is a true bed and breakfast — not a hotel that happens to serve breakfast. The house dates to 1909, making it one of the oldest structures in Cloudcroft. It sits on Swallow Place, a quiet side street just a short walk from the village’s main drag, surrounded by spruce trees.
The inn has eight individually furnished rooms with private balconies, vintage decor, and the kind of character you don’t find in new construction: creaky wood floors, antique furnishings, and rooms full of country charm. 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.
8 Individually Decorated Rooms
Each room is unique — vintage furnishings, antique decor, and the character of a 1909 house.

Room character varies. This is a 1909 house, not a purpose-built hotel. Some rooms are more memorable than others. Check photos on the website or Expedia before you book to get a feel for the style.
