Secluded, Mystic Mountain Lodge w/cinema/arcade rm

❦ Luxury accommodations in the Lincoln National Forest ❦ — Very private mountain-top (>9K ft above sea level), 3-story log cabin, with 3 bedrooms/2.5 baths plus bonus room; sleeps 8. Remote yet just 13 minutes to Ski Cloudcroft (3 more to the village). Completely equipped kitchen yet spacious covered balconies for outdoor grilling while soaking in forested mountain views. The huge wall of windows in the warm and inviting living room brings the pristine forest right indoors. Free Wi-Fi throughout. Master suite, cozy reading nook, and black-walnut desk (dedicated workspace) at loft-level; 2 bedrooms at main living level; futon in the cinema/arcade room at parking level; all this means space for the whole family. Outdoor (only) video & audio surveillance in effect for your protection.

The altitude of Mystic Mountain Lodge makes it a great area for professional and amateur astronomy. The 2400+ sq ft cabin is on 2.2 acres at the end of a cul-de-sac with lots of wildlife and no traffic; a very private, deep-woods log-cabin feel. The warm glow from the pellet stove in the living room is supplemented by central forced-air heating. The home theater system, 3 arcade games (12 games each), and board games means nobody is going to get bored after sundown following long days of exploring the quaint shops on Burro Street and the 90+ hiking trails around Cloudcroft. Whether breakfast on the covered balcony or grilling lunch/dinner in the great outdoors, the wraparound deck will place you right in the deep woods charm and mystery. Nights on the deck will place you under mystery of the deep dark expanse of the Milky Way and planets; bring your telescope!
The cabin is heated and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

Beautiful home and area

It was a great place for our wedding anniversary. Very secluded. Four night stay and we stayed in for two of those. Had about an inch or two of snow. No trouble getting up to the house or leaving. Saw elk and deer in the area. Stellar Jays, white breasted nuthatch and other birds. Great place to stay and relax.

We had an excellent vacation. The cabin was as described. The view was excellent and the location/privacy was perfect. The coffee maker was a little tricky but it was AMAZING once we figured it out. Deer all around was a highlight.

Magestic Mountain Getaway

Great family retreat! Drove 1000 miles to escape the heat and humidity of Louisiana and was not disappointed! Thankful for the Holt's who chose to share their wonderful property. Besides the great temps, 50's in AM and low 80's low humidity during the day, we most enjoyed the animal life from the property and along the route to CloudCroft. Herds of 40+ elk with bulls in velvet at base of the driveway to the property were a special treat. We caught a glimpse of a small black bear crossing the road 200 yards from the cabin! 5* Property all the way!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mystic Mountain Lodge! The cabin was very clean and organized with breathtaking views from the beautiful picture windows in the living room. Our children especially loved the game room which also allowed for some restful moments for mom and dad. 😉 The hosts were fantastic to work with and very responsive to any questions we had. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat from the daily grind! You won’t regret it!

Absolutely delightful

Mystic Mountain Lodge is perfect: impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and exceptionally comfortable. Every inch a five star home. The area was replete with natural beauty and very quiet during our walks along the road. We so enjoyed sitting on the deck at all times of day, and the theater room was restful after long days of hiking. We hope to visit again in the future with more family!

Cloudcroft in Comfort

We enjoyed our stay at this property very much. The home was clean, very well stocked with everything you need, and surrounded by beautiful trees. You can sit on the deck and watch the birds and butterflies while enjoying your coffee or tea. We did have one little hiccup while we were there but Michael took care of it immediately. It did not interfere with our stay at all. I highly recommend staying here. You'll have a great time and make lots of wonderful memories.

Top of the Mountain

We had a few days to play some disc golf, and we wanted a really nice place to relax each night. This cabin was amazing, and the hosts supplied everything you could need. The beds are comfortable, the couches are heavenly, and the arcade room is a blast. The only issue was a large number of moths, which are, unfortunately, very common this time of year in the area. They were all over the house, so if you are afraid of them, like my sister would have been, then you need to consider that. Otherwise, it was perfect.

Comfy mountain top cabin

Property was very nice and comfortable. Our vacation activities took a few unexpected turns and thankfully the lodge was cozy enough that while I plans were changed, our lounging still allowed for a good trip. I contacted the owner and local POC while at the cabin and received a prompt and professional response every time. I would stay here again.

Great place, but did not meet expectations

We spent New Year’s weekend here. It was a wonderful weekend and a great way to bring in the new year. We’ve stayed at several cabins in the area. This was by far the most expensive and should have met the standards. It did not live up to the hype. The nightly cost was well above the “average nightly price” listed, meaning the price was inflated for New Years’ weekend. I understand that this is a holiday, however I expected the quality of the stay to meet the higher price. When I made the reservation, I mistakenly put only 1 adult, so I sent a message stating that there were 4 adults, and 2 children. I was told that “unlike certain other homes in the Cloudcroft area, we do not charge by the head”. The week before our trip, due to flight cancellations around Christmas, another couple asked if they could join us. I sent an email explaining that we added another couple and their 3 year old. I was charged $100 per night for the 3 year old because it was now over capacity. I explained that there were 6 adults, and 3 children under 5, but was still charged a $200 penalty. I paid the fee, and continued with the reservation. I was also told that it was not possible to check in before 4pm, because there was another reservation checking out that day. When we arrived at 4:30pm, there was a vehicle in the driveway and I could hear voices. I had to leave my children in the car while I searched the house, because my husband was stuck in the snow and had not arrived yet. Eventually the owner of the vehicle came out of the garage and stated that he was the maintenance man, however this meant that we couldn’t fully check in until after 5. With an already later than normal check in time, earlier than normal check-out time, and an extra fee for a 3 year old, we were already disappointed. The cabin itself had absolutely NO extra blankets, pillows or towels, even though we clearly notified the host of the additional people. Our kids had to sleep with us, because there was no bedding available for them, and we had to share towels. No paper towels or napkins, had to wash every dish before we could use them. We were notified multiple times via email that we would be under constant surveillance, and were asked to strip the beds, wash/dry/put away all of the dishes, and still be out by 10am. A suggestion to the host, would be to know the worth of your property. If you are going to charge that much for the property, please make sure that it is cleaned, stocked and ready.
