Curl up for a movie marathon on the spacious seating, or play a game of charades with your family. This space is welcoming, warm, and inviting. The opportunities for relaxation are endless here! 

Kitchen

Dining Room

Bedrooms

Step inside the master bedroom for a restful experience. This spacious bedroom provides you with a beautiful custom log bed with bear accents, a trey ceiling overhead, and access to the nearby full bath. 

Your kids will love the second bedroom! This bedroom offers a custom-crafted bunk bed set for a whimsical sleeping experience. It’s time for blanket forts!!!

One thing we hear all of the time here in the mountains is “Oh, my gosh, this air smells good!” That’s clean air you’re breathing, and if you open up your bedroom windows, you’ll likely have the best night’s sleep you’ve had in ages. 

Outdoor Spaces

With an extensive wrap-around deck, you’ll have your choice of tranquil spots. 

Outside, you’ll find a bubbling outdoor hot tub overlooking the forest, a BBQ grill, and a patio table that’s perfect for a picnic lunch.
