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.

Cool house for the family. Not far from Cloudcroft and we drove an hour for white sands and 2.5hrs for Carlsbad. House had everything you would expect and was as advertised. Saw wolves, deer, elk, turkeys all around the house.

Mystic Mountain Lodge is worth every penny. The home is beautiful, the surrounding property is breathtaking and the owners are very communicative. The peacefulness and location cannot be overstated. Loved it!

We spent New Year’s weekend here. It was a wonderful weekend and a great way to bring in the new year. We’ve stayed at several cabins in the area. This was by far the most expensive and should have met the standards. It did not live up to the hype. The nightly cost was well above the “average nightly price” listed, meaning the price was inflated for New Years’ weekend. I understand that this is a holiday, however I expected the quality of the stay to meet the higher price. When I made the reservation, I mistakenly put only 1 adult, so I sent a message stating that there were 4 adults, and 2 children. I was told that “unlike certain other homes in the Cloudcroft area, we do not charge by the head”. The week before our trip, due to flight cancellations around Christmas, another couple asked if they could join us. I sent an email explaining that we added another couple and their 3 year old. I was charged $100 per night for the 3 year old because it was now over capacity. I explained that there were 6 adults, and 3 children under 5, but was still charged a $200 penalty. I paid the fee, and continued with the reservation. I was also told that it was not possible to check in before 4pm, because there was another reservation checking out that day. When we arrived at 4:30pm, there was a vehicle in the driveway and I could hear voices. I had to leave my children in the car while I searched the house, because my husband was stuck in the snow and had not arrived yet. Eventually the owner of the vehicle came out of the garage and stated that he was the maintenance man, however this meant that we couldn’t fully check in until after 5. With an already later than normal check in time, earlier than normal check-out time, and an extra fee for a 3 year old, we were already disappointed. The cabin itself had absolutely NO extra blankets, pillows or towels, even though we clearly notified the host of the additional people. Our kids had to sleep with us, because there was no bedding available for them, and we had to share towels. No paper towels or napkins, had to wash every dish before we could use them. We were notified multiple times via email that we would be under constant surveillance, and were asked to strip the beds, wash/dry/put away all of the dishes, and still be out by 10am. A suggestion to the host, would be to know the worth of your property. If you are going to charge that much for the property, please make sure that it is cleaned, stocked and ready.
