Welcome to High Country Hideaway (formerly known as Pea's Retreat), a rustic-modern farmhouse nestled on 3+ private acres, near Camp Eagles Nest. You'll feel yourself unwind as you meander around jutting boulders and breathtaking vistas on your drive up to High Country Hideaway on the back side of the mountain.
High Country Hideaway at Eagles Nest now has its own 60'x10' bocce ball court at the house for you!
High Country Hideaway is thoughtfully designed for the enjoyment of our valued guests. We endeavored to anticipate every need and desire during your stay. The spacious island kitchen is well equipped with gorgeous stone countertops, a gas cooktop, high CFM range hood, copper sink, and a coffee & cocktail bar w/ beverage chiller, Keurig & drip coffeemakers, and every possible tool you will need for storing and mixing cocktails or grinding your own beans.
The Great room offers a towering stone fireplace and plenty of seating on the reclining sofa, swivel chairs and live-edge sofa table w/ bar stools. The open concept allows for everyone to dine inside at the rustic dining table, sofa table and kitchen island. A Bose Sound Bar home theater system is connected to the Smart TV for maximum movie and music enjoyment.
Grab a cocktail or glass of wine, head out to the wrap-around deck and lounge at the fire table, or keep the grill tender company at the outdoor bar. After dinner, take a dip in the hot tub or watch a movie while cozied up at the fire in the great room, or grab some drinks, head up to the movie & game room and stock the mini-frig for some Xbox gaming or binge watching. A Visio Sound Bar system is connected to the Smart TV for the ultimate gaming or movie experience. There's a queen sleeper sofa and the cocktail table on castors easily rolls out of the way. Craving s'mores and a good ol' campfire? Gather 'round the firepit, light the tiki torches and roast marshmallows to your heart's content! Got a guitar player in the group? There's an acoustic guitar in the great room for memorable fireside entertainment.
In the heated garage game room, you can challenge someone to a fun game of ping pong, arcade basketball or foosball. There's even a microphone w/ speaker system for announcing the play by plays or for Karaoke!
Head out to the new bocce ball court for a friendly game with family! And if you need to top up the batteries of your EV while staying with us, we have provided a Tesla EV charger station outside!
The bedrooms are beautifully appointed. The primary bedroom features sliding doors opening to the deck, and a split king bed with adjustable mattresses for ultimate comfort. Slide open the barn door and enter the en-suite bath w/ heated floors, roomy shower, water closet, large walk-in closet, and beautiful finishes throughout.
Lamont, the loveable lounging bear, will greet you as you ascend the stairs! In addition to the movie/game room, there's another queen master BR w/ en suite bath, and a second queen bedroom plus a super cool bunk room with 2 sets of twin-over-full bunks through the queen bedroom, that share a hall bath with dual sinks.
