Spaces to Gather, and Spaces to Retreat
Enjoy the great room with its stone hearth, or slip away to quiet nooks with mountain views. Rest on a bench near the herb garden, find solitude by the hot tub, or sip tea on your private balcony as the sun dips behind Beech Mountain. The lightly traveled ridge road is perfect for peaceful walks or cross-country skiing.
