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!

Excellent vacation spot
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.

Peaceful mountain weekend
Great house for our family to spend a long weekend. Peaceful and quiet. Great layout/floorplan for the mountains. We really enjoyed the huge windows and the wrap around decks. Afternoon rain showers and plenty of wildlife added to the experience.

The Mystic Mountain Lodge was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed that it was tucked away at the end of the road. The peacefulness was exactly what we were looking for. The home was stocked with everything we needed. Great communication with the owners! We would definitely stay again! 😊🏔️

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!

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!

We had a lovely stay! Everything about the cabin was perfect. Sunrises & coffee in the mail room was beautiful. Beds were comfy, plenty of towels and supplies. We had the added treat of watching a family of Bobcats scurry around just off the deck on our last day. Amazing!

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.

Beautiful peaceful home!
We had a wonderful vacation at this beautiful home! The views are just spectacular!! The neighborhood is so quiet. We enjoyed coffee on the deck in the morning and viewing stars from the deck in the evening. The kids loved the game room, especially the video games. The house has everything we needed for trip to Cloudcroft!

We couldn’t have asked for a better host. They were very quick to respond and the property was superb. I loved the extra touch of labeling all over the kitchen to make our stay that much easier. The pictures do not do the place justice! Perfect for a family get away.
