Welcome to the cabin! This website is a resource for our guests to have a fun and low stress visit. Note that this cabin is not for rent: This page is for the occasional visit from family and friends. The key thing to remember about the cabin is do not flush 'flushable' wipes, feminine products, or condoms in the cabin . Flushable wipes (and etc.) will clog the pooper pumper resulting in an absolute mess for you and us. In fact, you shouldn't flush flushable wipes anywhere because they cause problems in communities across the planet. ONLY THE THREE P'S DOWN THE TOILET: Poop, pee, and paper. No "flushable" wipes.

levain it up bakery

The second time we stopped in, it was some 30 minutes before opening, and there was already a line to get in (for a bakery!). Since we were on a tight schedule on that visit, we had to roll on.  Garrett and his partner Steve run the bakery, and they provide an array of baked goods including dinner rolls, croissants, cookies, breads, and more. We picked up a loaf of sourdough to bring back to Austin, and my-o-my it is good!      photo from Levain's socials

  This is just a little highway side-out, but worthy of a stop to enjoy the view down Fresnal Canyon toward the Tularosa Basin. The sneaky access to the Aquatic Dwellings Waterfall is here as well.

take a hike! salado canyon

Image
  This is a 1.9-mile out-and-back trail along the former path of the Cloudcroft Railroad, so it's relatively easygoing. At the end of the trail, you are rewarded with an original trestle from the railroad and the ability to hike over it. The extends a wee bit beyond this before petering out. The elevation change is about 190 feet, down on the out and up on the back. The elevation starts at about 5,800 feet. The trailhead is here .
