As you approach this custom log home you will be amazed at the enormous logs that make up the structure.  Entering the great room, you are met by a cozy sectional sofa, large dining table, and a large kitchen with new stainless appliances.  The kitchen does not have a dishwasher but offers a huge peninsula with lots of counter space and four counter stools.  The front of the house has generous outdoor living space on the sunny deck. The chef in the group will find all the gadgets and tools needed to create delicious meals.  There is a 1/2 bath on this level that also houses the washer and dryer.  This room is perfect for storing all your hiking gear.  BBQ out on the deck as the kids climb over boulders and play in the woods exploring nature.  Tucked behind the amazing log staircase, there is a quiet reading/tv nook with a pull-out queen sleeper sofa.

Follow the huge log staircase to the upper floor and you are met with a comfortable family room for movie watching, game time and more.  This large room offers a sectional sofa and two plush swivel chairs and has a door leading to the upper deck with beautiful mountain views.  Guests will snuggle into two queen bedrooms for a restful sleep.  There is a 3/4 bath on this level with a sauna to ease your achy muscles after the mountain.
