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.
There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.

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.

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.

Nice place, plenty of bedrooms and

Had a great stay the views are amazing completely surrounded by the forest. Our family had a great time here. Extremely comfortable with enough room for everyone. Plenty of movies and board games to keep the kids happy plus pool table and ice hockey plus foosball tables. Large kitchen and plenty of bedrooms made our stay enjoyable. TV and large gathering area upstairs and downstairs another large area for relaxing. Both floors have a balcony with seating for you to enjoy the view.

White Thanksgiving
This property is very beautiful! The pictures just don’t do it justice and anything you could possibly need is provided. Clean and spacious there was plenty of room for our 7 adults and 4 children.
My family met here in between where we all live for Thanksgiving and to our surprise it snowed, a lot.
Thank y’all for making this get together so very special.
