Hi! I’m Kate, and I’m so happy to share our cozy mountain getaway with you. My husband and I live nearby with our two young boys, and we spend a lot of time exploring the outdoors, hiking, and soaking in the peaceful mountain air.

We created this space as a place to unwind, reconnect with nature, and make lasting memories—and we truly love being able to share that experience with others.

I want every guest to feel relaxed, welcomed, and completely at home.

Thank you for considering our place for your stay!

Why they chose this property

We chose Cascade Village because it offers the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and easy access to outdoor adventure. Surrounded by towering trees, breathtaking mountain views, and quiet starry nights, it’s a true retreat from the hustle and bustle.

We love how it feels tucked away, yet it's still close to hiking trails, alpine lakes, and charming local spots. Whether you're here to explore or simply relax and recharge, this neighborhood truly captures the beauty and calm of mountain living.

What makes this property unique

What makes our condo special is the way it blends the cozy charm of a mountain retreat with the convenience of a great location. Nestled in a quiet area with beautiful forest views, it's still just minutes from trails, ski areas, and local favorites.

We’ve added warm, thoughtful touches throughout to make it feel like a true home away from home—whether you're curled up by the fireplace, sipping your morning coffee on the balcony, or simply unwinding after a day outdoors.

It’s simple, comfortable, and the perfect base for your mountain adventures.
