About this property
The Bristle & Birch - Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Sauna
Welcome to The Bristle & Birch
Step inside and discover a mountain retreat designed for comfort, style, and togetherness. Every room blends moody earthiness, vintage softness, and rustic elegance, with rich nature-inspired tones and all-new furnishings. Kids will love the cozy bunk room, while adults can unwind in the barrel sauna, soak in the hot tub, or gather around the fire pit under the stars. With an outdoor game room, peaceful forest views, and year-round amenities, this is the perfect escape for snowy winter adventures, hiking and biking in the spring, fall leaf peeping or breezy summer getaways.
Highlights include:
• Hot Tub
• Fire Pit
• Barrel Sauna
• Outdoor Game Room
• TVs in each bedroom and living room for all your streaming needs
• Free parking (driveway accommodates at least 4 vehicles)

Second Floor – Entry, Living Spaces & Upper Deck
Enter the home on the second floor, where you’ll be greeted by a quiet sitting area for four—perfect for morning coffee or catching up at the end of the day. The sitting area flows into a spacious living room and open kitchen, creating a natural gathering place for shared meals and conversation.
• Dining Room: Seats eight comfortably for family dinners or festive celebrations.
• Kitchen: Fully equipped with pots, pans, glassware, dishes, and all the essentials for cooking and dining at home.
• Bedrooms: Two on this floor—one with a king bed and another with queen-over-queen bunks.
• Bathroom: Full bathroom conveniently located on this level.
• Upper Deck: A spacious deck designed for year-round enjoyment. Dine at the large table for 10, fire up the BBQ grill, or lounge on the outdoor couch and seating area under the glow of string lights—the perfect setting for long evenings, laughter, and fresh mountain air.

The entire third floor is dedicated to the master suite, featuring a king-sized bed and a cozy reading nook with trundle daybeds. Forgot a book? The Free Little Library offers a variety of “take one/leave one” options.
• Bathroom: Private en-suite half bath.

First Floor – Kid-Friendly Fun
The lower level is designed with kids and families in mind. The fourth bedroom includes two sets of full-over-full bunk beds, plus a 50” TV and plenty of games for late-night fun or rainy-day entertainment.

• Porch swing
• Bar top with stools overlooking the fire pit and hot tub
• Fishing poles (spinning reels) for local ponds & lakes – Local fishing regulations apply
Hand-painted murals add a fun, social media-worthy backdrop—perfect for selfies and sharing your stay (don’t forget to tag us!). A gas BBQ grill makes it easy to whip up burgers, hot dogs, or mountain-style meals without ever leaving the fun.

Hot Tub, Sauna & Fire Pit
