The downstairs bedroom offers a comfortable king-size bed and easy access to the patio where you'll find the private hot tub waiting under the mountain sky.

Outside, guests can gather around the fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs, making it the perfect place for evening conversations, s'mores, and relaxing after a day of adventure.
