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.

Being from Texas, we loved the temps, hi’s in the upper 60’s/low 70’s and lows in the upper 40’s/low 50’s. Perfect for sitting on the deck drinking coffee in the mornings. So quiet you could hear a pin drop all day. Vanessa was an excellent host.

Excellent vacation spot

We had an excellent vacation. The cabin was as described. The view was excellent and the location/privacy was perfect. The coffee maker was a little tricky but it was AMAZING once we figured it out. Deer all around was a highlight.
