Mystic Forest Lodge, w/Superb Vistas & Media Room!

❦ 3440 sq ft of pure LUXURY accommodations in the Lincoln National Forest ❦ — Mystic Forest Lodge is perfect for staging family adventures to last a lifetime. (Capacity for 15 guests, including infants.) This luxury chalet, though remote, is just 12 min to Burrow Street in the charming little village of Cloudcroft. With the huge open floorplan (w/pool table), fully stocked & equipped kitchen, 2 spacious balconies with 180+ deg panoramas, and large movie/game room, it’s no wonder we receive reviews like this one: “This is exactly what my family needed!!! Will book for a longer time next time! …This gem is probably the best [BnB] in the area! …The house is so beautiful! …We will be holding on to the great memories we made at this place for a long while!” Majestic wildlife, the hush wind in the pines and the entangled clouds in the trees, the sunrise on crisp mornings, the milky canopy of stars on deep black nights, inspire a sense of mystery, awe and fascination at the Mystic Lodges of Cloudcroft.
Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and 3 bathrooms.

This place comfortably accommodated our group of 12 with a couple of beds to spare & plenty of space! The views from the decks & windows that overlook the green meadows & forested slopes of Cox Canyon were a feast for these desert-dwellers’ eyes!

A Great Family Time In The Mountains

This was such a great place for our family trip with kids and grandkids. We loved the spaciousness of the kitchen, dining, and living area and there was also plenty of bedroom space. The area was so quiet and peaceful, especially in the evenings and early mornings. The balconies are so nice in the mornings. Cloudcroft was conveniently close, but far enough away from the bustle of tourists. We saw elk, deer, and foxes.Playing games or sharing family at the large table with room for all of us was just great. We made some great family memories here. Thank you for sharing this elegant place.

Beautiful home in mountains

Lovely and spacious home. A bit difficult to find in the dark and up a long gravel driveway, so pay close attention to arrival instructions. Also, be aware of lack of cell service in mountains while navigating to home. Once there, you can sign in to wi-fi and will have service again.

Wonderful place for a family vacay!

The Mystic Lodge is a great place for a family vacation! We spent 3 nights and just had a wonderful time every day. There is something for everyone there, big decks to enjoy the cool mountain air, pool tables and foosball for some enjoyment, TV area with a nice couch and tons of movies to relax with. There is also plenty of wildlife, we saw mule deer, elk, squirrels, chipmunks, and plenty of beautiful stellars Jay's flying through the trees. Highly recommend staying here, only wish we could have stayed longer!

Perfect for large family

This was a great property for our family. The multiple common areas and porches worked really well and it was close enough to town that we could run in when needed. No a/c so keep that in mind for the warmer months. Overall very comfortable.

The house was perfect for our stay! Plenty room to accommodate 4 couples and a few children. Many amenities within the house and a gorgeous location. Don’t think we could’ve found a better place to enjoy. Spent a lot of time at the large kitchen island chatting and enjoying each others company.
