The open kitchen, dining, and living rooms are bathed in natural light, providing a breathtaking mountain view. The generously sized dining room and the living room, featuring tongue and groove cathedral ceilings, comfortable seating, a TV, and a floor-to-ceiling stone gas log fireplace, create an inviting atmosphere. Step onto the deck to appreciate the fresh mountain air and breathtaking scenic views, where outdoor dining is made easy with a table, chairs, and a gas grill.

The main floor is dedicated to comfort, hosting the spacious primary suite offering a beautiful mountain view with a luxurious bathroom. Accompanying this is a guest bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs, the loft bedroom and bathroom provide a private retreat. Downstairs, another seating area with a TV offers an additional cozy space for gatherings, while an enclosed bedroom surrounded by windows provides a treehouse-like escape. The luxurious guest bathroom downstairs features a stunning tile shower, and a private deck adds the finishing touch to this mountain gem. The primary and downstairs guest rooms feature king-sized beds, complemented by queens in the additional guest rooms, and a full futon in the loft bedroom.
