About this property

5BR Chalet: Panoramic Views & Game Room

  • Spacious 5BR Cloudcroft chalet with forest/valley views, two balconies, outdoor dining, and a game/movie room. Mystic Forest Lodge sleeps 15 and gives large groups room to cook, dine, play, watch movies, and relax together—about 12 minutes to Cloudcroft.

    HIGHLIGHTS
    □ Sleeps 15 in 5 bedrooms
    □ Game/movie room: pool, air hockey, foosball + streaming/DVDs
    □ Two balconies with forest/valley views
    □ Outdoor dining + sunset views
    □ Fully stocked kitchen
    □ Open living/dining/kitchen + game area

    The space
    Mystic Forest Lodge is set up for reunions, multi-generational family trips, and group getaways. The home sleeps up to 15 and gives everyone room to spread out, gather, and relax. The open main floor combines the living room, kitchen, dining area, and pool table, making it easy for the whole group to stay connected.

    The kitchen is fully stocked and equipped, with a spacious island for gathering. The dining table seats 8, and the island seats 6. Outside, two large balconies create even more room for outdoor living, dining, and sunset views.

    For casual family fun, the game-and-movie room includes a Smart TV, movies, foosball, air hockey, board games, and streaming access. The pool table and foosball table are well-loved and best suited for relaxed family play rather than tournament-style play.

    Sleeping layout:
    □ Main floor: 1 king ensuite bedroom and 1 queen bedroom with bathroom next door
    □ Top floor: 2 queen bedrooms and 1 extra-large kids’ room with 5 beds and a TV
    □ Kids’ room beds: 1 queen, 1 bunk bed with full and twin, 1 trundle with 2 twins, plus a crib

    Included for your stay: Wi-Fi, parking, laundry, propane grill, family-friendly touches, and a step-free route from the rear parking area to the main living level. Guests do not have access to the private owner suite, pantry, or garage/storage areas.

    For safety and property protection, exterior video cameras monitor the front parking area, entry deck, upper game deck, back parking and grill area, and the rear access ramp and walkway. There are no cameras inside the home.

    Guest access
    Mystic Forest Lodge is in the Waterfall development just off Cox Canyon Highway (Hwy 130). Lakeview Drive, a well-maintained dirt road, leads into the neighborhood, and Camino del Luna (not Camino del Sol!) brings you to the lodge.

    Guests enter through the front door using a keypad. Your entry code will be provided before arrival. Wi-Fi is available at the entry door, and your local point of contact can be reached through Wi-Fi calling if you need help getting in.

    Parking is available in both the front and back. Four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive may be needed for back parking in winter conditions. From the rear parking area, there is step-free access to the main living level.

    Other things to note
    Please note:

    □ Mystic Forest Lodge sits above 8,000 ft. Summer temperatures are usually cool and dry, and the home does not have A/C.

    □ Ceiling fans help keep the home comfortable in warmer months.

    □ In colder months, central heat, electric fireplaces, and bedroom space heaters provide flexible comfort.

    □ During snow, ice, or adverse winter weather, AWD/4WD is strongly recommended. Chains or snow socks may also be needed.

    □ Camino del Luna from Lakeview Drive can be weather-sensitive in winter, and rear parking may be more affected than the front approach.

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.

We loved your cabin. We liked it was very remote and private. We enjoyed the scenic views and spacious cabin overall. We only saw that there were a lot dead flys near every window and dvd movies were not in their correct dvd box. Maybe an upgrade on the grill outside. But this place is awesome! Thank you.
