About this property
Luxury mountain retreat w/ pond, fire pit & patio
Summary:
Experience a luxurious mountain escape where forest views, creek sounds, and elegant indoor comforts create the perfect retreat.
- Sleeps 8 | 5 bedrooms | 9 beds | 4.5 baths
- Indoor gas fireplace & smart TVs in every room
- Fully stocked kitchen with coffee & mixology bar
- Outdoor pavilion, comfy couches & fire pit for s’mores
- Private pond, two creeks & 2‑acre forest playground
- Pet‑friendly (dogs ≤20 lb, $250 fee each) & high‑speed Wi‑Fi
The Space:
Morning light filters through the towering pines as you step onto the front porch swing, coffee in hand, while the creek below murmurs over smooth stones. In the evenings the forest canopy glows with fireflies, and the scent of pine mingles with the aroma of a simmering stew from the fully stocked kitchen. Children’s laughter echoes from the playroom, and the soft hum of a 65‑inch smart TV invites you to unwind after a day of mountain adventure. This private oasis blends indoor comfort with expansive outdoor spaces, offering room for families, friends, or a small wedding party to gather and create lasting memories.
Sleeping Arrangements
- Master suite on the main floor: King bed, en‑suite bathroom with deep soaking tub, smart TV, forest views.
- Upper‑floor queen suite: Queen bed, en‑suite bathroom, walk‑in closet, private balcony, smart TV.
- Second upper‑floor queen suite: Queen bed, en‑suite bathroom, walk‑in closet, additional twin nook, smart TV.
- Third‑floor queen suite: Queen bed, en‑suite bathroom, smart TV.
- Third‑floor kids bedroom: Two twin beds, easy access to the playroom.
- Bottom‑floor bedroom: Large bedroom with shared full bathroom.
- Bonus sleeping area on the main floor: Twin trundle bed with access to an adjacent full bathroom and a 65‑inch smart TV.
Total beds: 1 King, 3 Queens, 5 Twins – comfortably accommodating up to eight guests.
Outdoor Living
A covered pavilion overlooks a 16‑person dining table, plush couches, and captain’s chairs, perfect for al fresco meals under the sky. A separate fire‑pit area invites s’mores and storytelling, while the patio remains fully usable despite the outdoor fireplace currently being out of service. Two creeks converge into a private pond on the two‑acre grounds, offering opportunities for salamander spotting, bird watching, and gentle exploration. A BBQ grill, bear‑proof trash cans, and ample seating create a relaxed setting for gatherings. Remember to store food securely to respect the local bears.
Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen is equipped with every appliance and utensil a home chef could desire—coffee bar, mixology bar, Insta‑Pot, blender, and a full set of cooking, baking, and serving essentials. A breakfast bar seats three, while the formal indoor dining room comfortably seats eight. High‑speed internet and central air with supplemental mini‑splits keep the home comfortable year‑round.
Neighborhood & Activities
Just a two‑minute drive brings you to Blue Bike Café for a hearty breakfast, and Main Street’s finest restaurants, boutique shops, and local art galleries are equally close. Nearby wedding venues, Old Edwards, The Farm, and The Hutchinson House make the location ideal for celebrations. Seasonal hiking trails, creek exploration, and wildlife observation are readily accessible from the property.
Pet Policy
Small dogs under 20 lb are welcome (maximum two) with written approval and a $250 fee per pet. Cats are not permitted. Service animals are exempt from the fee and restrictions. Please keep pets leashed and food secured to protect wildlife.
Guest Details
The home is limited to eight guests to preserve its pristine condition. Check‑in is key‑code enabled for 24‑hour access, and cleaning standards include mattress encasements, hypoallergenic bedding, and professional sanitization between stays. Quiet hours run from 10 PM to 8 AM, and the property enforces a no‑smoking, no‑vaping rule. Enjoy a worry‑free stay in this mountain retreat, where comfort, nature, and thoughtful amenities combine for an unforgettable Highlands experience.
