Designed for entertaining and providing spacious personal and common spaces indoors and out, the Mountain Lodge is the perfect retreat for a family gathering or a fun-filled holiday with friends. Spanning nearly 4,800 square feet, the Mountain Lodge incorporates modern amenities with mountain style. Indoor/outdoor living spaces and magnificent forest views make guests feel they are staying at a premier mountain resort home.

You and your guests will be welcomed with ample parking and upon entering you will be struck by the scale and warmth of the Great Room with massive vaulted ceilings and large picture windows framing the views beyond. You can't help but feel inclined to venture out to the spacious back deck to take in that sunny view and mountain air. If it's cool outside, return indoors to the warm glow in front of one of the 4 fireplaces to enjoy a good book and a warm drink.

Thick wooden beams and a stone fireplace fill the Great Room with natural texture, while leather sofas are soft and inviting. Not only does the chef’s kitchen have an expansive breakfast bar and high-end stainless steel appliances, but it also features a double oven and six-burner gas cooktop to make light work of meals. The dining table (expands to seat 12) will be the ideal locale for those memorable home-cooked meals.

One of the highlights of this home is the variety of large common spaces which allow for either multiple gathering spaces or one large group. The Great room, sunny top deck, and flat backyard space comfortably accommodate group activities whether watching a movie/sporting event, celebrating holidays, or playing cornhole! The Game Room opens to the backyard and includes a gas fireplace, full bar, poker table, ping pong/pool table, and a movie seating area which can be converted to an exercise space. Above the main living area, a loft includes 2 built-in desks plus a pullout sofa. The downstairs family room offers another built-in desk plus a comfy place for gathering and doing a puzzle.

The five bedrooms at this luxury vacation rental can accommodate up to 15 guests (12 adults plus children < 13 yrs).
