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.

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!
