And that's not all – imagine a summer swimming pond just a block away, perfect for refreshing dips on warm days!

This nicely updated ski cabin integrates convenience and comfort effortlessly. Mountain views, vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace are all what you expect when you think of a perfect mountain getaway. Yet the tasteful touches of modern art sprinkled throughout give it a sense of sophistication and are what really sets the stage for today's contemporary traveler.

Leave the hustle and bustle of city life behind as you step into the welcoming mud room upon arrival. Hang up your coats, kick off your boots, and let the stresses of the day melt away. You've officially arrived in Alpine Meadows – a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts! The entry level features two bedrooms flanking the mudroom. On the right, you'll find the primary bedroom, boasting a luxurious California King bed and an upgraded en suite bathroom with double sinks and an oversized shower stall complete with a steam function. Across the way, there's a charming bedroom with two twin beds, a bunk bed and an en suite half-bath.

When you're ready, venture to the top floor and enjoy lounging with the family in style. The living room offers an abundance of plush seating for the entire family to enjoy, creating the perfect spot to gather. Turn on the gas fireplace, and perhaps even tune into the big game on the television – though it may be hard to tear your eyes away from the captivating views beyond the vaulted windows. On this floor, you'll also discover the third bedroom adorned with a Queen bed and a second full bathroom.

Out on the triangular deck at the top of the stair landing, two breathtaking peaks hover overhead for your viewing pleasure. Here, enjoy a morning cup of joe to the song of a Chickadee nestled in the towering pines above while you decide which convenient adventure awaits you that day!
