About this property

Spacious 4BR Game Room Views

Mystic Woodlands Lodge is the 4BR, sleeps-8 version of Mystic Forest Lodge—right-sized for families and smaller groups who want open living space, a game/movie room, and two view balconies without booking the 15-guest lodge.

HIGHLIGHTS
□ 4BR / sleeps 8
□ Game/movie room: pool, foosball, air hockey, streaming + DVDs (over 600)
□ 2 balconies: forest + valley views, sunsets, outdoor dining
□ Open living, dining, and fully equipped kitchen
□ Peaceful mountain setting
□ ~12 min to Cloudcroft village

The space
Mystic Woodlands Lodge is set up for family trips and smaller group getaways. The 4-bedroom layout sleeps up to 8 and gives everyone room to gather, relax, and spread out. The open main floor combines the living room, kitchen, dining area, and pool table, making it easy for the group to stay connected.

The kitchen is fully stocked and equipped, with room to cook and serve meals comfortably. The dining and living spaces are arranged for conversation, shared meals, and downtime. Outside, two balconies offer quiet outdoor space, fresh mountain air, and secluded forest 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.

Layout:
□ Main floor: 1 king ensuite bedroom and 1 queen bedroom with bathroom next door
□ Top floor: 2 queen bedrooms and 1 full bathroom
□ This listing is the 4-bedroom configuration of the same home as Mystic Forest Lodge
□ The Bear Room—an extra-large kids’ room with 5 beds—is locked by cipher lock and is not included in this listing
□ Guests do not have access to the private owner suite, pantry, or garage/storage areas

Guest access
Mystic Woodlands 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 continues up to the lodge.

GPS NOTE
Some navigation apps shorten the road name to “Camino del Lun” or stop early. Please follow our arrival guide and continue to the end of Camino del Luna.

Guests enter through the front door using a keypad. Your entry code will be provided before arrival.

Parking is available in both the front and rear. AWD/4WD is recommended for rear parking, especially in winter or adverse weather. From the rear parking area, there is a step-free route to the main living level.

Distances:
□ About 7 miles / 12 minutes to Cloudcroft
□ About 10 miles to Ski Cloudcroft
□ Easy access to dining, coffee, shops, hiking, scenic drives, and mountain activities

Other things to note:
Mystic Forest Lodge sits at over 8,000 feet, so summer temperatures are typically cool and dry and the home does not have air conditioning. Ceiling fans throughout the house help keep the space comfortable. In colder months, central heat, electric fireplaces, and bedroom space heaters provide flexible comfort.

During snow, ice, or other adverse winter weather, AWD/4WD and sometimes chains or snow socks may be needed to travel Camino del Luna from Lakeview Drive. Rear parking can be more weather-sensitive than the front approach.

Thanks for your review, Mark. Mystic Woodlands Lodge is still relatively undiscovered in the area. It's spaciousness and remote feeling in the beautiful Lincoln National Forest make it a real hidden gem, as others have commented. Please come again anytime. And thanks for all your great suggestions.

Excellent Family Location

We've stayed in a few different locations in Cloudcroft over the years, and this has to be the best. For a family of 6 wanting something somewhat secluded, this was the perfect place. Even though there were house close by, the neighborhood was extra quiet. We will hopefully be back to this spot again soon!

Thanks for your review, Joshua. You’re not the first to tell us this has to be the best in all of Cloudcroft. We agree completely. And we intend to continue to provide THE go-to vacation rental(s) in Cloudcroft. 🥰Please come again anytime.

The cabin was beautiful, very quiet and peaceful, some of the written rules on the fridge conflict with some of the rules that were e-mailed by owner, no big problem, just an oversight. Deserves a 5.

Peaceful

Very beautiful house, in a great and quiet neighborhood, so relaxing and peaceful. It was fun, its still really pretty in cloudcroft. Didnt see much wildlife was the only downside, and the kingsize bed did not sleep comfortably, it was wore out on one side really bad.

Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed our special place in the mountains, and you discovered Cloudcroft -- a real hidden gem! It turns out, the bed had a dropped slat underneath. It was a quick fix. Thank you again for your review.

My first experience.

I was a little nervous to rent someone else’s home at first. They made this entire process as smooth as possible. I knew what to expect from the beginning. This property is as gorgeous as the pictures. They had lots of amenities to make this experience very family oriented. My only bit of advice for the next renters is to take a screenshot of the internet password and door lock code prior to going to the house. When we pulled up, I thought I would be able to open my messages to retrieve the information but without internet access then I wasn’t able to. I had to drive into Cloudcroft so that I could get internet to retrieve the information. So silly on my part but I didn’t think about that until it was too late. This was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend this property!!

Thank you for your super-helpful response. Taking a screenshot of the internet password and door lock code prior to going to the house is a great idea. By knowing the internet password when you arrive, you can login to the WiFi while standing at the door to retrieve all the information you received, but having that screenshot of the door code will allow you to go right in. Brilliant! Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Michael & Emily Holt

Host profile image
Michael: My wife, Emily, and I love to travel, experience other cultures, meet new people, see new places and have adventures. We have 3 grown children, 2 of whom have college degrees in French and Linguistics while the other has a degree in Biology. My wife and I have studied French, Italian and a little German. We come from Texas, but my wife and I lived 2 years in northern Italy (Arona! Right on Lago Maggiore!) for my job, and then 2 more years in the east of England (Dereham, near Norwich). I am a recently retired Senior Staff Research Scientist, and my wife is a retired schoolteacher (5th-grade science). We own 2 short-term rental properties in Cloudcroft, New Mexico, and 3 possibilities for reservations — this one (Mystic Woodlands Lodge) sleeps 8 guests when the Bear Room is locked (9 beds) in Mystic Forest Lodge; and another one that sleeps 6 to 8 (Mystic Mountain Lodge). We love people and we love making people feel at home.

Emily: I am a retired science teacher living in Texas. I have an Etsy business that keeps me busy (etsy.com/shop/EmsItalianGems)! My husband, Michael, and I love to travel and stay in short-term rentals. Though we are both retired, we are kept quite busy hosting our wonderful guests at Mystic Woodlands Lodge, Mystic Forest Lodge and Mystic Mountain Lodge. We are really enjoying this new adventure!

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a cabin in the quaint little village of Cloudcroft when we discovered this chalet. We wanted a place of our own in the beauty of these mountains, as well as the access from the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and to the Grand Canyon and beyond. This chalet was the perfect fit for our frequent escapes to Cloudcroft as well as trips through Cloudcroft to other places. And it made a perfect vacation rental to help support us in our adventures. Similar to our other mountain cabin in the area, Mystic Mountain Lodge, the majesty of the wildlife around the chalet, the mystique of the wind blowing through the forest, the intrigue of the clouds flying too low and getting caught in the trees, the beauty of the sunrise filtering through the woods on crisp mornings, and the awesomeness of the Milky Way stretching overhead at night with billions of stars gleaming in unmatched brightness against the darkest sky, inspires a sense of mystery, awe and fascination. This is why we had to name our new home Mystic Woodlands Lodge. If you need more room (up to 15 guests!), we can open the Bear Room with 9 more beds. We call the larger listing Mystic Forest Lodge.

What makes this property unique

A somewhat remote, yet very accessible location very near to the village of Cloudcroft, Mystic Woodlands Lodge offers very spacious accommodations for up to 8 guests (remember, infants are precious guests, too), and plenty to do with family meals, pool, movies and games. When you are finished exploring Cloudcroft, White Sands National Moment, or the more than 80 trails through these beautiful mountains, and the night has just gotten so dark, you can come settle in for family night with movies and games, or just relax outside on two large decks with your loved ones.
