The Great Outdoors: Your Private Oasis
The true magic of Skywood Cottage lies in its seamless transition to outdoor living. The property offers significantly more deck space than your typical mountain cabin, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the wooded surroundings.
Expansive Multi-Level Decks: Step out onto the massive, covered upper porch or the lower-level lounge area. With plenty of room for dining, lounging, and taking in the sweeping forested views, the decks are an extension of the living room.
Private Hot Tub: After a long day of hiking, sink into the private hot tub under a canopy of stars.
Firepit Gathering Area: Gather around the dedicated outdoor firepit. With comfortable Adirondack seating, it is the perfect spot for roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, and enjoying the crisp mountain air.
