First gift shop/art gallery that I've ever genuinely wanted to buy something from. The prices were not unreasonable, I just don't have money in the budget for artwork. Beautiful stuff in there. Very nice people and very cute cats. read more

Wonderful store, wonderful owners, lovely cats (no cat interaction necessary if that's not your thing). Unique art, gifts, and souvenirs. Best shop we visited in Cloudcroft! read more

We had walked that shopping area up and down twice before we saw the sign for this. It's an adorably quaint shop. So many wind chimes, so much local art and artists from all over represented in the store. I loved that they are caring for 3 cats, whom they've spayed/neutered when they were abandoned. They sell these wonderfully made quilted post cards, and the proceeds go to a fund that helps neutering and spaying the local stray population of cats. We will definitely go back for that one bat I really wanted, but could not afford just yet. read more

Without a doubt, one of the best little galleries ever! The two owners have a lovely array of handmade objects. They know their artists and can tell you stories about them. The gallery is beautifully arranged with colored walls which make the art pop. There is also an outside area full of interesting and unique yard art. I will definitely return here next time I visit Cloudcroft! read more

These owners have so many unique gifts and make you feel welcome, even if you're not normally drawn to such a store. My wife and I felt we'd check it, since so many stores we've seen in Cloudcroft start one year and are gone the next. These ladies told us they're the 4th oldest store in the town and that tells me they're doing something right! And when you visit, it is the interesting, one-of-a-kind creations for home and hearth which keep you looking. If you like unique items, don't miss this opportunity to find them in a little house just north of the beaten path! read more

Nice quaint place with lots of colorful nick-nacks. Owners are friendly and conversant. Check out the chime-garden in the back. They are a little ways off the main road and are well worth the short walk to get there! read more

Off the Beaten Path - Home Decor Near Me - Cloudcroft, New Mexico

This place is a joy to browse. The owners describe the context of the items in the store in great detail if you are curious. It is well worth the extra block outside the main shopping area. What they sell is crafted with care, often with a touch of whimsy, and lots of fun colors. Check this place out, not something one would see in cities. read more

Definitely walk the block and a half off the main shopping street in Cloudcroft to visit Off the Beaten Path. The shop has a great selection of art pieces from around the U.S., everything from wall and garden art to jewelry and fun functional items like measuring spoons and magnets. The owners also do cat rescue and spay/neuter of feral felines, which signals that they are an active part of the local community. In addition to measuring spoons shaped like dog faces, we found a wonderful rusted metal horned toad for our front entry. Definitely will go back! read more

I LOVE this shop! wonderful owners who also do cat rescues! How great is that? We just popped in this weekend after hearing about it from another shopowner's recommendation. Really cool artistry and off the wall items. I wish I had went here first! Items are a little pricey and I had already spent my quota, so I wasn't able to buy anything but I wanted practically everything! You know how you find those places that are just "YES-this place is a KEEPER!!" Wonderful, unusual art should cost a little bit, right? YES, visit this place FIRST!! I wish I didn't live so far away, but I'LL BE BACK!!! (i want one of those cool acrylic art clocks.....crazy-haired artizen thingies (I would line my driveway or sidewalk with these if I could-and somebody wouldn't steal them).....dogs, cats, chimes, bats, owls......and the list goes on............)SO CUTE!! read more

Interesting art pieces made by local and national artists. Big hit for me was the wooden carving boards -- works of art in their own right, very impressive. They are made from varying woods with dovetails and inlays. Each piece is incredible. Definitely will go back. read more
