The Space:

Just beyond, a dining table for eight creates the perfect setting for shared dinners, game nights, or planning the next day’s adventures. Upstairs, a loft workspace with a desk and desktop monitor provides a quiet corner for catching up on work or journaling while still enjoying the cabin’s airy, open feel, while the lower-level den adds another comfortable hangout space with a couch and armchairs ideal for movies or conversation.
Step outside and the multi-leveled covered deck becomes the highlight of the stay, revealing incredible mountain views from every angle. Enjoy al fresco meals at the outdoor tables, fire up the grill for dinner, or unwind in the hot tub as the sun sets over the ridgelines.
