Inside, the newly remodeled home combines modern comfort with a warm mountain atmosphere. Gather around the wood-burning stove after a day outdoors, challenge your group to a game of pool, or settle in for a movie while staying connected with high-speed WiFi. The spacious living areas provide plenty of room to relax together while enjoying the surrounding mountain scenery.

The gourmet kitchen is designed for everything from a quick breakfast to a full holiday dinner, with a premium gas range, modern appliances, beautiful countertops, and the equipment you need to prepare meals at home. Gather around the dining area for dinner together, then spend the evening relaxing by the stove or competing for bragging rights at the pool table.
