Perfect gift selection for the holidays coming up. I also recently moved from San Diego so there's a positive price drop there just based on economy but the obsidian and rose quartz here is just beautiful. They have fossils all over the store as well! If it's not healing stones, crystals, or vintage jewelry I'm sure you'll find something very pretty that catches your eye. I know my pictures do not do justice and show a fraction of their treasures so you should probably just drop in and peak inside yourself, and say hi to Ivan (he'll wave back!) Peggy the owner is a friendly face and great conversation who can help assist you with any questions.

Very nice ppl there, and yes - the 80+ year old owner who's moving a little slower these days, can come off as abrupt sometimes - but engage her in conversation and you'll discover a wonderfully sweet woman with a wealth of knowledge about the surroundings, local history and the backstory to many of her fine items.

But they seem to forget that everything was DONATED in the first place. Before Goodwill closed, their prices had gotten ridiculous too for things that were donated as well.

Very warm feel with the lodge look. Internal temp in side were a bit chilly. At one point I'd asked to use the bathroom, oops.... it's locked! I helped them figure out how to unlock it, finally opened after about 10 minutes. Got to know the lady at the counter pretty well, even her kids were helping that she had sitting behind the counter. We did buy some stuff, looks and feels to be good quality. Worth a stop if you're passing through.

To be fair, I haven't been here in awhile.. but I used to frequent the place pretty often. I'd say…read morethe selection has definitely gone downhill. They used to have a lot of cute tops, dresses, etc..but the last time I went, not so much. The prices are pretty high, especially for non brands, but as the others have said, they do have sales going on quite often. The gals who worked there were always friendly. That definitely makes the store better.. but it would just be best if they had better merchandise.

I don't live in the area so when you come to store like these with outstanding customer service it makes you want to come back more. This is not my first and last visit, I will come again. Thank you, Assistant Manager.

I wanted to to upgrade from my cheap Amazon dresser and also wanted quality and something that would last generations and I got a great deal on both! The dresser was delivered to my address and put in place where I want it the same day! I would say the icing on the cake is they went above and beyond and sent me a card in the mail!

I love this store!! Every time I come up to Cloudcroft I…read morestop here and grab something, even if it's just some stickers. They have a great selection of clothes and gear and their prices are fair. The store has a small footprint so things are tight and when it's busy it's a little crazy but they make it work. The staff is awesome, very helpful and always super nice! They also all know the area super well so don't hesitate to ask them about where to go or what to do. They carry all the major brands and some stuff I've not seen in the big stores. They should have any small items you might have forgotten before heading out for a hike or camping trip. The downtown area is pretty small so parking is limited but I usually end up finding something pretty close in front of the store. I definitely recommend stopping in if you're in the area and are an outdoorsy person.

I expressed my concerns and she blamed my parenting and "lack of correction" for her uncalled for reaction-I immediately corrected them by the way and apologized after she unleashed her Karen on them. They say that you can tell who a person is by the way they treat kids and animals and from the look of the reviews she treats both like trash. That says a lot of the type of person who runs this place. Do yourself a favor and go to ruidoso and shop at Happy Hiker. They are so kind and have a super positive vibe there. I'll never support this rude and stuck up shop ever again. Stay clear and beware if you have curious children and apparently dogs!!!
