    The space
    Mystic Mountain Lodge is a three-story log cabin on 2.2 wooded acres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. The setting feels private and peaceful, with forest views, dark skies, frequent wildlife, and very little traffic.

    The main level centers around the dramatic great room, with vaulted log-cabin character, comfortable seating, forest-facing windows, a pellet stove, and access to the wraparound covered deck. The kitchen is fully equipped for family meals and longer stays, with full-size appliances, cookware, coffee options, and an espresso machine.

    The lower-level bonus room is designed for family entertainment, with a 75" HDTV, Bose Bluetooth sound system, futon seating, three arcade machines, board games, kids’ books, and toys.

    Layout:
    □ Loft level: king master suite with full bathroom
    □ Main level: living room, kitchen, dining area, deck access, 2 bedrooms, and 1 full bathroom
    □ Lower level: bonus/game/movie room with futon seating, plus 1 half bath
    □ 2.5 bathrooms total
    □ Sleeps up to 8 guests

    Outdoor video surveillance only—never indoors:
    □ Front parking area
    □ Entry deck
    □ Grill deck

    Guest access
    Guests have private access to the cabin except for the garage, which is not available for guest use.

    You will have access to the living areas, kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, lower-level game/movie room, wraparound covered deck, outdoor dining area, grill area, and wooded surroundings.

    Parking is available at the cabin. In winter or during snow, ice, or adverse weather, AWD/4WD is strongly recommended, and chains or snow socks may be needed depending on road conditions.

    Other things to note
    □ The cabin sits above 9,000 ft, so summer temperatures are usually cool and dry.
    □ There is no A/C; ceiling fans help keep the cabin comfortable in warmer months.
    □ Central propane heat is the primary heat source in winter.
    □ The pellet stove is a real working feature and adds warmth and atmosphere, but guests should rely on the central heat as the primary system.
    □ Weather can change quickly at the top of the mountain. Please check conditions before traveling.
    □ During snow, ice, or other adverse weather, AWD/4WD is strongly recommended, and chains or snow socks may be needed.
    □ During or after snow or ice, be mindful of where you park, as accumulated snow and ice can slide off the roof unexpectedly.
    □ The garage is not accessible to guests.
    □ The wooded setting has frequent wildlife activity. Please observe wildlife from a distance.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
