Finbars Forest Retreat
The main level offers an expansive open layout with two bedroom suites (one queen, one full) located off the living area. The space features a living room with panoramic mountain views, a cozy sitting area with smart TV, and a stunning two-sided fireplace. Adjacent to the fireplace is a well-equipped kitchen and dining area, complemented by a kitchen island with additional seating. Step outside onto the screened wrap-around porch for al fresco dining at one of the two tables while enjoying the mountain views. You can also venture out to the open-air deck to take in the breathtaking stars. The top level floor includes two king bedroom suites with large closets and extra blankets. Also on this level, on the opposite side of the home, you'll find a private twin bedroom with sufficient closet space and a bathroom equipped with a tub/shower.

Step outside, relax on the porch or in the hot tub while admiring the mountain views. In the summer, enjoy the private 27-foot round saltwater pool.
