This kitchen is equipped to prepare and serve meals to a full house. There is a powder room/half bathroom that serves the great room, dining, and kitchen. The laundry room with a washer and dryer and the attached two-car garage are right off the kitchen. Large glass doors flank the gas log fireplace and lead out to the rear deck. The center portion of the deck is covered while the sides are open. It features a stainless gas grill and an outdoor dining table, along with comfortable Adirondack chairs. The deck is accessible from both main-level king bedroom suites.

These two king suites are on opposite wings of the house, both on the main level and both with HDTVs, king-size beds, full ensuite bathrooms, vaulted ceilings with tongue-and-groove paneling and exposed beams, hardwood floors, and direct access to the rear deck. The left suite has a cozy, tufted loveseat. The bathroom features a vessel sink and a handsome travertine-tiled shower with a frameless glass door. The right suite has a gas fireplace, and is furnished with a comfortable chair and a secretary desk. Its bathroom features a double "his-&-hers" vanity and a jetted, Jacuzzi-style tub with a shower and hand-held bathing wand.

The lower level boasts a large bar with a sink, fridge, dishwasher, and wine cooler, as well as a gorgeous solid oak bar top and ample bar stool seating! The den and game room offer guests an eight-foot slate pool table and a cozy media room with conversational sofas and leather reclining chairs positioned to enjoy the large HD Smart TV with an XBOX ONE game system and the corner stacked-stone gas log fireplace. Also on the lower level is a large bedroom suite with a king-size bed, glass doors to the lower rear deck, a walk-in closet, and a full Jack-and-Jill bathroom with private and hallway access.

PET POLICY:
Owners only allow well-behaved and responsibly-owned dogs (no cats!). There are high-end, custom furniture pieces throughout the house that would be expensive for a guest to replace due to pet damage. As in all of our properties, dogs must be crated or kenneled anytime they are left unattended. In this case, dogs left in a room without an adult for any length of time also must be crated. Any damage by a guest's dog will be the responsibility of the guest in question. Vacation Rental Damage Insurance policies will often not cover pet damage if the offending dog is left unattended. Pet damage has historically been extremely difficult to successfully claim as "incidental damage." Please be responsible if you plan to bring your dog along when staying at Mountain Laurel Lodge.
*Allows pets with an additional fee.
