Guest access
Mystic Forest Lodge is in the Waterfall development right off the low-traffic Cox Canyon Hwy (Hwy 130). Lakeview Drive (a well-maintained dirt road) curves up the mountainside into the cabin-sprinkled neighborhood, and Camino del Luna (spelled "...del Lun" by some navigation systems) curves up further off Lakeview Drive and brings you right to the Lodge.

□ Yale lock at main entry accessed through a code provided to you prior to your stay
□ Wi-Fi access available at main entry door and access to your Local Point of Contact through Wi-Fi calling should you encounter difficulties in entry
□ Spacious front & back parking (4WD/AWD required for back parking only)
□ Wheelchair access to the main living level from the back parking

Other things to note
Mystic Forest Lodge sits at well over 8,000 feet in altitude where the air is cool and dry; you won't require A/C. Ceiling fans throughout the house and in each bedroom, help ensure cool and comfortable summer temperatures. For the winter months, central heat, electric fireplaces and space heaters in every bedroom provide maximum flexibility for personal climate control.

During adverse weather, 4WD/AWD and/or tire chains or snow socks may be necessary to navigate Camino del Luna from Lakeview Drive.

Perfect home for our large group

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.

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.
