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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

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 — this one that sleeps 15 guests (Mystic Forest Lodge) and 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 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 Forest Lodge.

What makes this property unique

A somewhat remote, yet very accessible location very near to the village of Cloudcroft, Mystic Forest Lodge offers very spacious accommodations for up to 15 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.
