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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Couldn’t have been better

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!

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.
